tors, he gather ,e, working
without the kn ian Francis
co, authorities. y was obtained
by use Of meeha.- recorder placed
in the Office Of District Attorney Flick
e1t, prosecutor Of the case. H. .zss ..I
From this evidence, Mr.. Densmore
drew the conclusion that Mooney did
not receive full justice in his trial and
that he was the victim Of corrupt inter-
ests in San Francisco who desired to
aiscredit the labor unions and maintain
the !. open shop
The prosecution was conducted with
out real investigation of the crime,
Mr.. Densmore declared, and with delib-
crate intent to "frame" the labor lead
er.
The House resolution called for in
formation as to activities Of the Depart
ment of Labor in the case and Dens-
more g report was forwarded by Secre-

B0LANDER Won OUT
TO SCHOOL BOARD
OVER CAMERON, ..sTIcKERn
CANDIDATE, BY ONE VOTE. :. ::

The school election Saturday was en-
livened by an attempt to defeat Carl
Bolander, member Of the board of ed
ucation for a; number Of years, by the
sticker route. -,
D. NJ. Cameron, who had been men
toned as a possible candidate, was put
up by some Of his friends, who stated
that although Mr.. Cameron, was not q
candidate, he would accept the office
should hebe elected. It was not known
generally that Mr.. Bolander had oppos-
ition until the workers began to circu-
late about with the stickers. The re-
suit was exceedingly close, Bolander
winning 1874 to 1913. s'
According to the law candidates wish
ing to have their names appear upon the
ballot should file IL days previous to
election, otherwise they must be voted
for either by stickers or by writing the
names upon the ballots, which have
spaces for that purpose. SsS
AS there were five or six ballots set
aside on account Of wrong marking, but
were intended for Cameron, it was said
that contest would be instituted, but
we now understand that this is unlike
ly. -
L. E. Richard, the other member of
the board whose term expired and who
was a candidate for reelection, was
elected without opposition.
The vote on the selling of the school
farm was 179 for selling and 63 against.

fcult to accommodate their patrons, es-
