When Mr. kvale read the words
things have occurred that make such
:, meeting impossible" the crowd his
>r.tj and Sroanvd.
Mir. Nvule related the circumstan-
YES Of the statement OF his that was
picked up and used as a subterfuge to
deprive him oi his nomination by
judge johnson.
He also quoted extensively from
the court records at Benson OF his
'riul. Nulsteau's friends had prepar
81 q long list Of accusations against
N:ale il the complaint. After VOL
y ed had testified at the trial his
,yN:: lawyers moved to strike out all
II, Sc charges OF alleged false accu-
>u1:o:s except that negative allusion

showed no deficit. and the speaker
quoted Government officials who sta

have been necessary had the Gov

the roads. The great crime against
the American public was restoring the
roads to the owners on such hard
terms instead Of as proposed, per-
uniting Government control for a
Two year perlON during normal times
to see Low it would work out. Every
family is now taxed on the average
several hundred dollars a year in
higher freight rates.
