they were only doing their duty,
but the farmers in this district
were still of the opinion that they
were still in the United States and
informed them that if had done
anything that was unlawful the
right method you'd be to have me
arrested, so they tanned down
considerably and they proposed
something that they thought
would be fair, would Krogman,

would have anything to do with
kate after that: They were assured
that I would debate with their
man but to be sure and let us
know few days in advance, so
they said they would and the
man that they had planned on was
Mr.. Farr. He is a we'll known at

Krogman Signs Them UP.

Kr0gman signs Tnem Up.
Acting upon this knowledge and
the plain statement Of the state
office that the League would de-
fend itself and it's members, Or
ganizer Krogman, again invaded
the sacred precincts of Custer
county and put the final touches
on good job previously. Custer
county will be amongst the fore
most in the League column in
1920, for the farmers have had
enough of the Loyalty League,
Banker, A. G. M. propaganda and
now have their eyes open to the
true state of affairs, have declar-
ed that they will stick. And
they will.
Krogman sends the following
account of the invasion, and gives
some results.
"This is from Powder River.
Let her buck!
Well we had some more excite
ment in Powder River county. As
soon as I got back on the job the
mobbers got busy and followed
me around about four or five days
but could never get me alone, as
the farmers in that county are
protecting me and they will not
stand for any more mob violence.
Mob Halted.
On Friday, March 21st, / was
staying at the farm house-the
name of these people were Mr.
and Mrs. Lee Rousey. They live
near Olive. Early that morning
we noticed the scouts of the mob
were trying to locate me, SO ]
went outside in order that they
could make sure where to find me
We knew that this was the day
they had picked to take me out
Of the country, but we were
ready for them. About eleven
o'clock that morning, seven or
eight automobiles drove up in a
bunch in front Of the Rousey farm
house. Mr.. and Mrs. Rousey went
outside to meet them and the moi
stated that they wanted Krog-
man, that they were going to take
him out of the country. They
were informed that l was in thu
house and was going to stay
there and warned them to stay
out of the house; that if they at
tempted to 60 in, they were tax
ing their life in their own hands
One of the mob saw that there
was a man in the house with
Winchester and remarked abou
the same, and he was informed b!

II have read the defendants speech in

is that the speaker was not actuated by

that he is actuated by genuine purpose to

the presiding judge was even
more remarkable than the revela-
ton brought to light during the
proceeding.
He is reported to have
found that although there was
evidence of tampering with the
election, the irregularities were
not sufficient to warrant the un-
horsing of Cults, and this, in
spite of the fact that when the
ballot boxes from some of the
precincts were ordered opened by
the court, in order to discover
whether the ballots were loose or
had been wrapped up, THE
BOXES WERE FOUND TO BE
EMPTY.
Independent Petition.
| So great was the indignation of
the Dunn forces at the brutality
and openly expressed determina-
tion of the Copper crowd that
Dunn should never be mayor of
Butte that they Immediately, af-
ter the city hall recount, began
the circulation of petitions to nom-
mate Dunn and Mccarthy on an
Independent ticket. The petitions
were filled with signatures in a
very few hours, and presented to
! the city clerk for filing. so that
the two names might appear on
the ballot. Everything was regu-
lar and above board yet the city
clerk, one Tracey, acting no
doubt under orders, refused to ac-
cept the petitions on the ground
that the candidates were appar-
emily not qualified.
The Supreme Court.
Attorneys for Dunn Immediate
|ly hastened to Helena to request
that the supreme court call ON the
city clerk of Butte to show cause
why he had not accepted the Pc
titions. This the supreme court
did and on Saturday, April 5, just
two days before the election and
a few hours before the time for
filing elapsed, the supreme court
heard the arguments in the case.
After a good deal of squabbling
amongst the legal lights on both
sides, the court retired to go over
the matter and see what could be
done. They were absent about one
hour when the Chief Justice re-
turned and told the contestants
that they could not decide the
case in so short a time and dis
missed both parties. thereby in ef-
feet, ruling against Dunn.
The Result.
| The net result Of these pro-
ccedings was that Dunn could not
enter the contest although the
correct papers had been filled out
and all forms of law complied
with and new dignity, not to say
Autocratic Powers, conferred up
on city clerks.
In Butte.
| No sooner had the decision or
lack Of decision by the supreme
court become known in Butte
than the people began swarming
into the streets raging with in
disnation, many mass meetings
were held and frequently the cry
arose "to Hell with the ballot,
what good is it to us?" and the
I. w. W. halls pere packed with
people eagerly absorbing the mes
sage of Industrial Action. The

The highest court in the state,
has said in effect that a city clerk
who does not like the political
complexion, or for that matter has
a personal aversion to any candi-
date may, regardless of the law
in the case, refuse to file a candi-
dates nomination papers and thus
keep his or her name from appear

This is exactly what has hap
pened in the case Of W. F. Dunn
and j. j. Mccarthy. It will, be re-
membered that following the clear
evidence Of fraud in the Butte
primary election in which Dunn
and his associate were counted
out after the tally sheets had been
tampered with, contest was fill
ed against the nomination Of
Cults, the company candidate by
the Dunn forces.
