Political Enemies of Kansans
Failed in 'Inside Dope"
Could Have Ousted Officers on
Alien Charge in Past.
JAS. GRAY. ONE OFFICEHOLDER
Prominent LeavenwOrth Man
Faced Custer Proceedings.
c. J. Peterson Also in Public
Life Without Naturalization.

The granting of naturalization pa
pers to James Gray, of Leavenworth,
father of Malcolm Gray. secretary of
the state board of administration, has
recalled the fact that he is not the
only Kansan who has faced custer pro-
ceedings while serving as a public of
fetal and who has escaped being Gust
ed because none of his political enc
mics knew he was an alien.
Gray was connected with public af-
fairs in Leavenworth for many years
and was in~many hot political fights.
One time when he was serving as city
clerk and clerk of the district court
at the same time his political enemies
brought custer proceedings again him
and carried them 10 the supreme
court. They were unsuccessfulS But
il any of his enemies had thought to
look up his citizenship they would
have had no trouble removing him
from both offices.
Gray was born in Canada and was
brought to the United States by his
father. His father took out his first
papers and never returned for the sec
ond. Therefore Mr.. Gray had lived all
Of his life as an alien until he was
naturalized by W. Z. Wolf, naturaliza-
ton agent this week.
Rounded Up COxey Band.
One of the most interesting episodes
in connection with Mr.. Gray's political
career was the time he took promi-
nent part in the arresting of Coxey' s
army when the famous hobo horde
marched into Kansas. Gray was one
of the leaders of the posse that round
ed up the Coxey band at Fort Scott
and he helped TO take them to Fort
Leavenwortn where Coxey and his
men were kept for several weeks.
Another Kansan who was under fire
while serving as public official was
* sETn VaHR rnT n
Democratic state central committee.
c. j. peterson Not "FOund Out"
Before Kansas got the prohibition
habit, Peterson was elected county at
torney of Allen county on a-dry plat
form Altho a Democrat he was sup
ported by the father of Fred Funston
and I large number OF dry Republi-
cans and when he went into office he
insisted upon carrying out his election
pledge.
He was the first county attorney in
the state 20 raid a lodge that main
tanned a bar and he kept up his raids
until Allen county was free from booze
joints. During the time that he was
making these raids his wet" enemies
would have gone to any length to have
ousted him. And if they had known
it, all they would have had to have
done would have been to look up his
citizenship record.
Peterson was the first 10 reallze
that the opposition might get him out
of office on the ground that he was
an alien. y He looked up the matter
and found that like Mr.. Gray when
his father came to - Kansas from
Sweden he took out his first papers
and then forgot to do anything else.
Peterson said nothing about the mat
ter. and it was never found out. But
when his term expired he refused to
run for reelection and proceeded at
once to complete his naturalization.
