In Greeley Finds
Errors in Spalding

Greeley, Neb., Jan. Especial. y
AT the November election the official
canvas showed that ]. L. Gallagher,
democratic candidate for sheriff, had
won by bare. four votes over Fred
Miner, republican candidate for re.
election. -Four votes were presumed
to be cast for Gallagher which were
on their face illegally cast. One, the
voter had not lived here long enough
The other three were voted by mail
within the county confines. Miner
filed suit in contest and in addition
charged errors in the canvass oi
Spalding precinct. After a four days
legal fight he succeeded in getting a
recount Of the vote in Spaldine
precinct. The recount showed that he
had thirty-one votes In Spaldine
precinct that were counted for his op.
ponent, Gallagher, Naturally this de.
velopment has caused great excite.

you as to the names OF those who
profted by the leak or the names OF
those responsible for the leak.
Would Send for Federal Employees.
at seems to me that the right way
to go about the matter is to find out
from the president who he talked
this peace note over with and then
summon them and find out whether
there was any way in which they
might inadvertently have let the cat
out OF the bag. Next, ! should get a
list OF those employees of the White
House and the State department and
OF our embassies abroad who handled
this particular peace note. ] think
you will find that list quite formida-
bic in length" q.
Have you any evidence that would
connect anyone at the White House
with the leak?" asked Chairman
Henry. ;,
None whatever" said Mr.. Gard
ner. Il have nothing but anonymous
statements and letters which are
worth nothing as evidence"
Have you any evidence that would
connect anyone at the State depart
ment"
mo, nor anyone else" Gardner re-
piled. Il have no evidence that !
consider worth the paper it is writ
ten on"
Have you heard" Representative
Garrett asked Mr.. Gardner, "of any
one other than Bernard Baruch being
reported to have profited by this So
called leak"
NO" Mr.. Gardner replied, "but !
have seen an initial statement say
ing that he and four others are sup
posed to have pro6ted."
A motion by Representative Chip
(, crfeld to order the local managers
of the Western Union and Postal
Telegraph companies to bring all
messages sent to the Wall Street
Journal and Financial America be-
tween December 10 and December 23
was adopted.
Representative Gardner said he ab-
solved Secretary Lansing and Secre-
tary Tumulty Of all suspicion.
Il believe the president, the secre-
tary Of state and Secretary Tumulty
arc above suspicion" he said.
Representative Campbell, repub-
lican, said there was no disposition
on the part of the republicn minority
to make political capital in this mat
ter, but that he considered it deplora-
bic that there was any apparent at

ecutive departments of the govern.
ment.
Breach Of Confidence.
Mr.. Harrison, democrat, objected
to the suggestion that any leak
came from the government depart
ments and insisted the leak was
through representatives of the Wall
Street Journal and the Financial
America. He related how Secretary y
Lansing, conferring with newspaper
correspondents on December 20, had
4 told them in confidence that note
to be published later had been sent tc
Europe and that the majority. had
respected the confidence.
THE other newspaper men kept
lfaith," he said, "but it appears that
the representatives Of the Wall Street
Journal and Financial America did
not and it went out over the ticker
and the market broke"
