Arguing that reclamation projects

the eastern part Of the state now in
undated in normal times and many
millions more which are seriously af
fected during abnormal flood condt-
tions, President o. E. Blanding and
w. w. Cook, of Harvey and Secretary
and Engineer Herbert Hard or the
North Dakota Flood Control associa-
ton appeared before the house appro-
piratiOns committee this morning in
support of House Bill 1879, creating a
state flood control commission. and
making an appropriation therefor.
The flood control commission has
recommended ten-year reclamation
program involving all expenditure OF
$20,O0400O on the two sides Of the
Red river, and to be cared for largely
through federal appropriations If
the house bill NOW under sconsidera-
ton goes through there will become
available insaddition to the $4,000 APP
propriated by the state an equal
amount appropriated by the national
congress Tor; preliminary work in a
bill passed August II, 1918. Mime.
sofa now has a reclamation bill under
consideration which appropriates
100000 tfor:preliminary surveys, en-
gineering Expense and other details
connected with this project.
More than one million acres OF val
liable agricultural lands are now per-
amnently inundated as result Of Red
river valley flood conditions. The
reclamation program would not only
drain these lands and protect from
annual temporary inundatiOn five to
six million acres more on the North
Dakota side of the Red river but
would, through a system OF flood con-
troll which would husband the flood
waters Of the Sheyenne and their trib-
utaries, storing this surplus water in
reservoirs, conserve vast quantities
of moisture which now are lost every
year and which are essention to- sue
cessful farming in the more arid re-
gions to- the west. n.y. -
Lake beds which long have been dry
would be: filled, and with q greater
water surface to draw from more fire.
euent and more general rains could
be expected oyer the entire state, in
the opinion df President Blandings::
Messrs. Blanding, Cook and Hard
are enthusiastic over the possibilities
of flood control and reclamation work
in this state, They feel that this is
the psychnlogical moment to under
take sucha project, in view of the
favorable attitude which the federal
government has taken toward such
developnnanE / and they hope that

Nicholas. But it is over his own
signature that Nicholas is con-
victed of having lied on the wit
ness stand and Of having vio-
lated his oath of office.
Mr.. Nicholas also was chary
of admitting, in open court, that
he had ever had relations with
Charles Patterson, head of the
anti-League ring in St. Paul.
Patterson, who was the "angel"
for the ill-fated "On the Square"
magazine and for Tom Parker
Junkin's later venture, "Amer-
lea First" was the head of the
anti-farmer offices in St. Paul.
He hired several persons to
work against the League and
spent money lavishly in futile
effort to defeat the farmers in
Minnesota.
The nonpartisan leader., 1919-08-11

against this particular part of his congressional
record. Ill., ,.. ....
II now refer to the resolution introduced by him
calling for investigation of Catholic institutions
and the presentation of the fact through the Irish
Standard, the Catholic Bulletin and the Hibernian,
which were placed in the hands of every Catholic
voter in the state of Minnesota, and also through
the Catholic priests of the state, including the
German on the last Sunday before the election,
making speech directed against Mr.. Lindbergh:
"Should the Nonpartisan league retain its
grip on North Dakota, which according to my
opinion and information seems certain, and in
event they run Independent candidate by
petition or by indorsing the candidate of the
National party, which already has place upon
the ballot and the Democrats and Republicans
insist upon running their respective candidates,
or, in other words, fail to fuse as they did in
this campaign, the same orgies, dissensions,
iawessness and sedition that has prevailed in
Minnesota during the last three months will
be repeated with the difference that the actors
may not be as susceptible or as vulnerable to
attack as Mr. Lindbergh.
II am calling your attention to this as prob
ability, for ! am confident that the efforts of
the League are not ended nor it's treasury ex-
hausted"
Other letters as intimate went from Teigen to
The nonpartisan leader., 1919-08-11

were against Leaguers pending. Albert r.
Allen of Martin county, it will be recalled, was seen
on occasion in Mr.. Patterson's Office by Clar-
ence F. Johnson one-time employe Of the Patter-
ring. Mr.. Nicholas however, congratulating
himself on his shrewdness for evading admission,
boasted to newspaper reporters during recess
that while he had looked Mr.. Patterson up,
Mr.. Patterson had sought him out. .s-.
He declared that he had met Mr.. Patterson at a
dinner at a St. Paul club, while he was the guest
of Ambrose Tighe. member of the Minnesota Pub
lie Safety commission.
"Mr. Tighe introduced ME to Mr. Patterson. Mr.
Patterson said he had heard I was active in the
loyalty speaking campaign in the southern part
of the state, and that he had wanted to meet me-"
Nicholas told the reporters.
Mr.. Patterson always seemed anxious to meet
men, and particularly officials who were active in
'loyalty" work. The work, it seems, from Mr.
Nicholas records, consisted in helping Teigen, in
dicted for disloyalty, in dsposing of his anti
League book, helping Teigen, who was the tool Of
Charles Patterson.
Mr.. Nicholas introduced to Mr. Patterson.
Mr.. Nicholas helped Patterson's tool Mr.. Nicholas
played the Patterson game when he testified to
lie on the witness stand in the court at jackson.
And yet they say there no outside influence
in the Jackson frameup!
The nonpartisan leader., 1919-08-11

at the very most before I shall
have made start sufficient
enough as to make an intelligent
and forceful presentation of it's
merits to an audience of inter
ested business men, and as soon
as that time arrives I shall do
as you suggest-sgive immediate
and vigorous action
"Should you come to St. Paul.,
you can reach me either at the
st. Francis hotel or at my office,
the telephone numbers of which
are N. w. Cedar 537O and Auto
matte 23275.
"The League has now launch
ed a movement to curry favor
with the business men; that is,
to capture them on their polit-
ica1 schemes so as to nullify
their hostility by throwing them
a 'sugar-coated sop through
get-together meetings of the
farmers and commercial clubs.
No doubt such a movement will
be attempted in your community
and it will not come direct from
the League but in the form of
overtures from League men,
bers, sympathizers and support
ers. Should they succeed in
'bull-dozing' the merchants and
business men generally, the re-
suit would be to induce the busi-
ness men of the state to act as
their own executioners by as
sisting the League in it's efforts
to overthrow present business
institutions and inaugurating
socialism amid the ruins"
Here is another letter, written
in Teigen's best style:
"June 9, 1918.
"Mr. E. H. Nicholas,
County Attorney,
jackson, MINI.
'Dear Sir: In compliance of
the suggestions of yourself and
others I have signed the little
book which we are putting out

MADE SUGGESTIONS ON
BOOK TO TEIGEN
It will be noted in the above
that Mr.. Nicholas, who swore
on the witness stand that he had
nothing to do with that book"
had suggested that Teigen bring
it out under his own. name.
Here is still another Teigen
