RADICAL MINERS RAIL AT LEADERS, PACT
Starving German
Asks Deportation;
Must Break Law, Told

Butte, Jan. 5.-"For Gods sake
have me deported. I've got to get
back to Germany if I'm not to starve
to DEATH
This request a stranger made to
the clerk for the federal court in
Butte. The man admits being an alien
enemy of German extraction. He is
in his middle '3O's, but says since the
United States entered the war with
his fatheriand, he has been unable to
obtain employment OF any nature.
Even pick and shovel jobs have been
denied, he asserts.
When told deportation follows only
convition for some 0ffense against
the government, he replied:
"Ihen III give them some reason
to dep0rt me-"
Federal officials here think it is
possible the man may be sent back
to Germany with others who, although
not alien enemies. are returned to
the native country to be "repatriated'.

my admirers has asked me to
come out and explain what l
will do in regards to cabinet IL
am elected President at the different
polls next November. 1t seems that
the present incumbrance has had
kind Of run in with the Sec. of state
who is from Watertown where the

President wanted in that position was a
Long Island duckling.
Well when the letters begin poreinS
in about what would | do in regard
to q cabinet and etc. thought |
maybe better look it up and see what
was the laws in regards to the US
cabinet and l looked in the cyclopedia
and IL says the cabinet Is appointed

rost master Gen. and the Attorney
Gen. and the Sec. OF state and War and
the Navy and Treasury and Com
merce and labor and the interior and
agriculture. 1t says in the book that
ir the old days they was l Sec. of war
witch included the Navy but after
wards they must of found out that the
Navy didn't have nothing to do with

to gather around and stare at the
strangers.
