Republicans Resent Dictatorlal
Attitude Of Governor.

st. Paul, Oct. 19.-Republican sup
port will continue to flow to Con-
gresham Oscar E. Keller, represent
ing the Fourth. district, in spite of
Governor Preus' single-handed effort
of last week to make it appear that
the state central committee would
not back Keller's candidacy.
There will be no meeting OF the
committee to take action on the gov
ernor'st "demand''~that posters in
dorsing Keller be withdrawn, it was
fntinated by Jay F. Gould, secretary.
1.-THE members are 4scattered
throughout the state" said Mr..
Gould, Che state chairman as yet
has called no meeting to take up the
matter.
The governors action will prove a
boomerang, and give, Keller addition
al votes, it was conceded. Governor
Preus' advice is never strongly well
coined in st. Paul. 1t was pointed
out that the governor is taking. over
sweeping powers, hardly vested in
his office, when: he tells. the state
committee not to support a repub-
lican who has won two fights in
clean cut campaigns. After the pri-
mary election in June when Keller
was nominated th9 national repub-
lican committee Instructed the Ram
sey county organization to support
him.
Congressman Keller, has remained
in Washington and has taken little
part in the present campaign. In
view Of the governors high handed
attempt to dictate state politics as to
what republicans shall receive sup
port, Keller's friends says he now
may come home and take an active
part in the drive against Senator
Kellogg. e."
The state committee consists: of 80
members, and no action by the com
mittee is likely, Minneapolis men,
bers said. Rev ublicans interviewed
on the subject said they. regarded
the governors edict as for propa-
ganda purposes only and that it
would have little effect on the CON-
mittee. s-->

SH0PNEN DODGE
TRAP DAUGHERTY
PlANN ED TO SET
Wanted Violence Admitted Be.
fore Joining in Appeal.

Chicago, Oct. 19.-Attorneys for
the railroad shopmen have proved
that Attorney General Daugherty is
eligible to the Ananias club, founded
by former President. Il
The attorney general made solemn
pledge-in the public press-that he
would assist the shopmen in their
appeal Of the Wilkerson. injunction.
When the appeal Was started, the at
torney general refused to aid unless
the shopmen agreed to accept as de-
positions the hundreds of affidavits
he presented to Judge Wilkerson in
support of his conspiracy charges.
A deposition is a sworn statement,
before a court officer, after the at
fiant is cross examined. The Daugh-
erty affidavits were largely made by
federal deputy marshals and detec-
tives, and are based wholly on hear
say evidence, which would be given
no consideration in deposition pro-
ceedings. The purpose Of the attor-
affidavits out of the way by having
the other side accept them as facts.
II the shopmen's attorneys agreed
to treat the affidavits as dispositions,
this would remove the affidavits
from the controversy, the shopmen
would acknowledge that a conspi-
racy exists and thereby sustain
everything the attorney general has
claimed.
The Daugherty proposal was an
impudent one, and was impelled by
the desperate hope that the shop
mems attorneys would accept any
thing to get the case into higher
court.
If the plan succeeded, then when
the shopmen appeared before the
federal court of appeals there would
be nothing for that court to con-
slider except the question whether it
was a violation of the Clayton law
if the administrative branch of the
government secures an injunction
against a large body Of strikers who
have acknowledged that they have
entered into conspiracy, as shown
by the attorney generals affidavits,
and which the strikers accept as
statements of fact
The shop mems attorneys were not
asleep and the Daugherty trap failed
Before the public, however, this
pettifogging method of the attorney
general is Unknown and his pub
licity agents insist that he is willing
to go hand in hand with the shop
! men in a friendly contest over the
legality of the Wilkerson injunction.
The shop mems attorneys have
asked Judge Wilkerson to order the
attorney general to file a bill of
particulars on his conspiracy claims.
Hundreds of affidavits allege vari-
Gus crimes and the shop men want
specific charges rather than general
izations. To date Judge Wilkerson
has refused.
1t is whispered that both the IN
junction judge and the attorney gen.
eral would be willing to have the
injunction "get lost' in the near fu-
ture if the precedent can be estab-
lishedr that an administration can
secure an injunction on. the hearsay
evidence of detectives and stool pig
cons.
No court of law would tolerate this
procedure but it Is permissible un.
der government by injunction.

The principal grievance the gov
ernor has against Mr.. Keller is that
he is the labor candidate for con-
gress. His ostensible grievance grows
out Of Mr.. Keller's impeachment of
Attorney General Daugherty. The
governor took sides with Daugherty
before he learned what the charges
against him were. He was in Canada
at the time and wired the. attorney
general upon his return repudiating
the action Of Mr.. Keller. r
Everybody but the governor
knows that for months past the
conduct Of Daugherty. has been. a
national scandal He has been
charged by Keller with protecting
war grafters> from prosecution; re-
fusing to proceed against profiteer-
ing com binations u2der the antitrust
laws; recommending an unjustifi-
able pardon for q rich criminal con-
victed under the White Slave Act:
blocking prosecution o. corporations
criminally Indicted under the anti
trust laws. permitting the Chicago

claimed '1t@WOuld be unfair to the
attorney general to keep the question
open SO long as September 21.' On
September II, Keller: engaged the
legal services Of Samuel Untermeyer
Of New York, and it became known
that Frank Walsh OF Kansas city
would be his associate counsel. e.
Then the judicial committee be-
came panic stricken and showed its
true "Jackaly nature, On Septem-
Der 49, without further consultation
with Keller. they drew up a. childish
manifesto postponing, the hearings
until December, on the excuse that
Dangherty> could not absent. himself
from the injunction hearings at Chi
cago" where he. was prosecuting rail-
road shopmen for daring to&strike to
make the railroads and the raiload
labor board observe the laws Of the
United States and to maintain for
their families a decent standard of
living. ~.
Never in our; history, as a nation,
have congressmen :; shown such
craven conduct. In their despera-
ton they made fools Of themselves.
They knew what would happen to
Daugherty when Untermeyer, and
Walsh went after him. They tried to

Livestock Firms Cited
On Boycott Complaint

WASHINGTON, March "a formal
complaint has been filed by Secretary
Wallace, acting under the power given
MN IN the packers and stockyards act,
against every livestock commission
firm holding membership in the St.
Louis Livestock Exchange and against
the principal "order buyers" dealers
and traders at the St. Louis National
Stockyards, charging them with main
tanning boycott against commission
houses not members OF the exchange.
The complaint is the first to be filed
under the act
The defendants, numbering about
40. have been cited to appear in the
Federal court in ST. Louis, March TO-,
to show cause why an order should not
be entered requiring them to dis
continue the alleged illegal practices
The principal charge is that the ex-
change members are restraining trade
through operation of q boycott and that
"thlrty-nlne commission firms, con-
stituting the entire membership of the
exchange, refused 10 do business with
OIL der buyers or trade ers-eXcept buyers
for the very large packing ccncerns-
who buy livestock from the four COM
mission companies that are not men,
bers OF the exchange" Two of the
non-membcr concerns are said to be
farmer cooperative associations, "and
sell livestock at rates 25 per cent lower
than those of exchange members"
