JOHNSON resigns
COMMISSION y. A. JOHNSON OUT
LONG COURT CASE IL
NOW ENDED.

j. A.. Johnson resigned as commits
sioner of the city of Madison last
night. submitting the resignation in
written form. This action is the cul-
mination of a long contested point
following his successful candidacy in
the spring of 1916, when he defeated
Jacob KundeTt for the office, and
which Mr.. Kundert carried into the
courts, alleging a violation of the
corrupt practices act.
The case was first tried in circuit
court before Judge j. w. Jones in
chambers al Sioux Falls in May.
1916. On the part of Mr.. Johnson
the court granted a motion OF dis
missal of the action on the allegation
that there were not facts sufficient
to support the charge and that the
court was without jurisdiction.
This spring, in its decision revers-
ing the decision of the trial court and
remanding the case for further pro-
cedure, the supreme court says:
I'VE are of the view that the learn
ed trial court erred in granting the
motion to dismiss the contest pro
ceedings. The facts stated consti-
tute a good cause for action. 1T
seems to be generally held that of
fers made and statements published
by candidates for public office. such
as defendant is alleged to have made
and published are in violation of the
corrupt practices act. such as chapter
203, laws of 1913"
After an extended review of the
case and the methods of bringing il
before the courts, the supreme court
says:
The order and judgment appealed
from are reversed and the cause re-
manded for further procedure in har-
mony with this decision"
An u~nglossed statement of the
cause for the action is that j. A.
Johnson, during his candidacy for
the office, explained and caused to
be published in the public prints a
statement TO the effect that instead
of drawing the salary Of $3.50 for the
office, he would accept only $500,
under the belief that the higher sal
aries was a mistake. This was con
strued to be fraudulent and in the
nature of wrongful influence of vot
ers in the election. and within the

were washed in by the waves. The

FARMERS URGED TO
= PROVE MILK CLAIMS
New England Casualty CO.-An.
other on August -.

(From the Brattleboro Reformer.)
An important hearing before the Hon.
John c. Sherburne of Randolph was held
in the municipal court room this forenoon
in the suit of Secretary of State Guy w.
Bailey and State Treasurer Walter F..
Scott. trustees. against the New England
Casualty company of Boston, in suit
pending in the Chittenden county court
brought on two bonds for $4,000 each
executed by the defendant company in
favor of the Boston Condensed Milk COM
pany. The bonds were issued to insure
the payment of indebtedness that the
Boston Condensed Milk company might
owe milk producers in Vermont.
Attorneys General H. G.. Barber of Brat
tleboro appeared for the State officers
and Attorney Fred f. Gleason of Mont
pelier for the defendant. 1t was decided
this morning that the farmers having
claims against the Milk company should
make proof thereof in duplicate in the
form of an affidavit copies of which have
been made in blank. These blanks must
be filled out, sworn to and returned to
AttorneyGeneral Barber before August
Is.
1t is stated by Attorney General Barber
that he has the names and addresses of
most Of the claimants. and blanks and no.
who do not receive them promptly should
communicate with him If they want their
claims allowed by the court. He has about
300 claims aggregating about 100000. He
thinks there is due about 5000 more The
hearing progressed to the extent of prov
ing the bonds, which were received in evil
dence. 1t was continued to August % at
two p. m. in Brattleboro.
On February q. 1914. the secretary of
State revoked the license of the Boston
Condensed Milk company, because of COM
plants from farmers regarding their pay
and because he was not satisfied with
the way the company was doing business
The Casualty company, did not cancel
the bonds. 1t is understood, and the milk
concern continued to do business in the
State. Later the milk company, of which
William A. Graustein was the head, went
into bankruptcy. The business was car.
ried on by his wife. Ida NJ. Graustein, who
has since gone into bankruptcy.
- This suit was begun in September, 1916
and debts ranging from few dollars tC
over 500, in Windham. Bennington. Wind
sor, Rutland and Addison counties, ar.
claimed. covering a period from 1918 dowr
to the date of the suit.
