be the standard-bearer of the Reac-
tionary IVA gang. Among members
Of the IVA committee Of Twenty-one,
however, it was generally understood
the Dockage Buster must step aside
and behave himself in the event that
Attorney General LANCER succeeded
in re-nominating himself. This does
not necessarily imply that the Dock
age Buster was a party to such an
agreement, but in a sub-raso manner
reports were circulated among the
King Bees that O'Connor would be
nominated if LANCER met defeat.
The Dockage Buster did not expect
a gubernatorial nomination at that
time, and for this reason he was bold
and audacious in his attempts to smash
the Grain Grading and Dockage Act.
In the interim, however, the Big
Fat boys in the Minneapolis Chamber
Of Commerce evidently decided he
could serve them better as governor
than attorney, so they proceeded to
nominate him. Now the Dockage Bust
er finds himself in a pretty pickle.
His political past" comes up to
scourge him by day and break in up
on his fitful slumber at night. It's
stating the case mildly to say that
Slippery Jeff is a much worried man.
Let us hope the farmers do not fall
for a straddler like the Dockage Bust
er! Beware Of the mar who tries to
ride two horses at the same time. ut
can't be did,, to use a characteristic
American expression.
If the common people of North Dako
ia 60 to the polls November 2 and
do their duty toward themselves and
the human race by voting for each
candidate, carrying ga Nonpartisan
League endorsement, Slippery Jeff
O'Connor will be a sadder but wiser
boy.

81 yTIc FARMERS
Dockage Buster lefty o'Connor, IVA
candidate for governor, stands in q
class by himself. Here are some facts
concerning his stgrain grading record"
that show ~conclusively which side Of.
the fence he is on--and it's not the
farmers side:
Dc you know that during the spring
of 1918 the firm Of sOConnor &
johnson, attorneys, was retained by
M. G. Gaulke, an elevator grain buy
en-, to break the Grain Grading and
Dockage Act in the North Dakota
Supreme Court?
DO you know that O. Conner &
johnson were the attorneys who adj
vised Gaulke not to comply with the
provisions Of the law and to refuse
outright the payment Of dockage.
Do you know that after Gaulke, the
~obstreperous grain dealer, was placed
under arrest Attorneys O'Connor
and Johnson started habeas corpus
proceedings for him in the Supreme
Court?
Do you know that Attorneys O'Con-
mol and johnson tried to have this
vastly beneficial act declared inval-
id, but that the Supreme Court ruled
against them, finding it constitution
al? ....
Do you lnow that Dockage Buster
O'Connor. wel1-known throughout the
state as a corporation attorney,
fought the Grain Grading and Dock
age Act in the role of an assembly
man when the law came up for amend
ment at the 1919 session of the State
Legislature? ~.
He Slipped Out! H..
Do you know that when it came
time to vote on the amendments to
this statute the Dockage Buster
sneaked out Of the House? Why did
he fade away so Suddenly and myster-
iously? Why do most old gang poll
ticians duck and dodge when they are
asked to go on record against some
popular piece of legislation they real
~ hate, but are afraid to oppose? Be,
cause they fear the peoples wrath
vote against the bill, and then, stole
furtively out Of the House.
Do you know that Attorneys O'Con.
nor and johnson later through mani.
fest collision with Attorney General
William LANCER (the obstructionist)
started another action through the
Farmers Grain Company at Embder
against DR.. Edwin F. Ladd, head Of
the State Grain Inspection Depart
ment, and his assistant, j. A. Meow
ern, in the United States Distric'
Court at st. Paul, eventually securing
a temporary injunction by hook or by
crook?
Do you know that Governor Frazier
appealed to William Lemke and Setl
Richardson at this critical juncturt
declaring that he saw the fine italian
hand of Big Business somewhere
Do you know that when Attorney:
Lemke and Richardson submitted theil
reply to this Injunction on the TWEEN
tieth day after it's issuance-the tim'
limit-to their utter establishment
they discovered Attorney Genera
LANCER had not filed an answer ant
did not submit one until seven day

fault?
More than this, do you know when
Langer's reply to the injunction pro-
ceedings was filed with the United
States District Court it practically
admitted that the farmers wheat in
his wagon is an interstate commod-
ity? In truth LANCER made practically
no effort to protect the best interests
Of the people, and it is but natural
to suppose that he either had an Fun
derstanding" with Attorneys O'Con-
nor and johnson, or vas guilty of in
credible and childish stupidity.
Do you know that the law firm of
Simpson, Lancaster & Juno-notori-
Gus Big Business practicioners-was
retained by the INVISIBLE CHAM
Der OF COMMERCE CLIQUE to as
sist O'Connor & johnson (%Sveinbjorn)
when Attorneys Lemke and Richard
son appeared before Judge Charles F.
Amildon to argue against this in
junction June Ia, 1920? Do you also
know that Ernest Mares, a witness
%testifying for the plaintiffs at this tri-
al and a stakeholder in the North Da-
kota Elevator Association, virtually
admitted that the Executive Commit
| tee Of this company was paying the
expenses Of the case-admitted in
ferentially, at least, that the firm of
OConnor & johnson was receiving a
fee from GRAIN GAMBLERS AND
LINE ELEVATOR MEN for it's at
tempt to break the dockage law?
Fortunately however, Judge Ami
don, before whom the case was tried
quashed the temporary injunction:
sustaining the Grain Grading and
Dockage Act. ~
Let Him Explain
Since Dockage Buster O'Connor is
so active now as a candidate for gov,
ernor on the IVA ticket, let him ex'
plain where the Executive Committee
| of the North Dakota Elevator Asso'
citation secured funds to conduct its
case. This is easy to guess. From the
Minneapolis Chamber Of Commerce
the same organization that made 9

change. =
While making explanations thu
Dockage Buster might also state why
he is franctically attempting to wasf
his hands Of the futile effort the Law
firm Of O'Connor & Johnson made tx
smash the Grain Grading and Dock
age law.
When this case was in the courts
the Dockage Buster figured conspic'
uously as attorney for the Grain Com
bine, but now a young lawyer whose
monniker is jeff 7. O'Connor sudden
" disavows all connection with thai
case.
What does this signify?
It means that the Dockage Buster
wants to get the farmers votes BY
deception. He is ashamed Of his eli

THREATENING LETTERS
CUT OUT AS EVIDENCE
Seizure Held Unconstitutional in
Case Against VIM. Laney, Alleged
Slayer Of Kenneth Grail.

Chief Justice Mccoy Of the District
Supreme Court has declined to admit
in evidence letters seised by the po-
lice at the home of William Laney,
colored. charged with killing Kenneth
Grail, white youth, during the race
riots last July. The letters were said
to contain threats OF the colored man
Ito get somebody" and were seized
by the police on . second visit to the
home Of Laney, when they had no
warrant to search the premises.
In excluding the evidence the chief
justice upheld the doctrine that a
.''man's home is his CASTLE and that
search and seizure without court
process is unconstitutional. The
court held that the police when law
fully in a mans home for the purpose Of
making an arrest in a felony case
may take therefrom evidence of crime
or other things of an discriminating
nature. but on subsequent visits to
procure such evidence must at least be
armed with a search warrant.
Asked about tho ruling, United States
Attorney Laskey said he had no fault
to find with 1t. ''It upholds the meth
DDS in vogue of seizing incriminatinE
