Stock Swindlers Fleece
Stearns County Farmers
Grand Jury Urges Officials to Inves-
tigate-Specific Cases of Fraud
Were PrObed

Stock swindling schemes in which
Stearns county residents have suffered
losses mounting into thousands of dol
lars were probed secretly by the grand
jury before adjourning for the term
Saturday.
No indictments were returned in
connection with the investigation, but
a recommendation was made that
state and county officials take imme-
| date steps to curb the sale Of, ques-
| tionable stocks, bonds or other secur-
| tiles.
Specific instances in which Stearns'
I county residents were fraud victims
were probed by the jury, it is said.
After the victims of alleged stock
frauds had been questioned by Jurors,
and the matter deliberated upon at
length, the grand jury prepared the
following report which Was submit
ted to Judge Roeser:
I'm our deliberations it has come to
light that a great deal of questionable
stocks, bonds and other securities
have been sold to the people Of
have lost considerable money in con-
nection with such securities. We re-
commend that state and county Off
Gals having the right to investigate
the sale Of such securities watch sales
violation of the law"
One hundred farmers are said to
have been victimiZed by Twin City
firm making contracts for the sale OF
commodities, Donohue & Quigley, at
torneyfi stated Monday that unlawful
methods, including fraud and forgery,
have been resorted to by company
selling goods to faremrs by contract.
Farmers at Paynesville, Richmond,
Cold Spring, st. Joseph and other
places in Stearns county are the al
legged victims.
The scheme" by which the farmers
are defrauded, it is charged, opens
the company to prosecution. Farm
ers have banded together 70 fight the
alleged fraud trust"
The company is said to have made
contracts for an 18month period
with farmers for the sum of $22. 1t
is charged that the company, in sew
eral instances, has raised the time
period to five years, raising expendi-
lures by q farmer on q single con-
tract to more than 500.
Peter Becker and Jacob Rothstetn,
Richmond; in answer to suit brought
by a Minneapolis firm to recover
money alleged to be due on COM
modify contract, charge that fraud
has been committed by the company.
Operations Of the Minneapolis firm
were probed by the grand jury. Sale
of automobile stock in Stearns coun-
ty also was investigated. A st. Jo-
seph man claimed that he and other
farmers had suffered losses in pur-'
chasing stock for erection Of a potato
warehouse, on which an assessment
is now due. Action by authorities on
findings Of the grand jury is expected

Rudolph Lee, editor Of the
Long Prairie Leader, filed for
the senate from that district en-
bracing the counties of Todd and
I Wadena and it was generally
believed that he would have
clear field. However at the last
hour, remnants of the Non Part
isan League met in convention
and filed a candidate from Wa
dena county against Lee. This
means a contest in that district.
The voters of that district will
make a serious mistake if they
turn down Rudolph Lee. He has
a wide acquaintance, stands well
all over the state and is abund-
antly equipped with natural
ability and leadership and if he is
sent to the senate from that dis
trict he will give it the best rep
resentation it has ever had. He
will be able to get for his district
the many things it needs and
is entitled to and can be power
in helping to shape legislation
beneficial to the whole state. We
believe that the voters of that
district will realize this and send
Mr.. Lee to the senate in spite of
any opposition Mr.. Townley can
arrange.-St. Paul Herald.
The above from the st. Paul Herald
edited by former immigration com
missioner Fred B. Sherman, is true
n every particular. Mr.. Lee is moi
/ candidate in the sense that he flee
'or the Senate on his own initiative
He only consented to make the race
after a persistent demand by large
lumber of good citizens from all ove1
he district. The farmers of Todc
county have long since learned that
Rudolph Lee is their real friend.

Nothing stirs the inherent pride Of
every red blooded American like the
achievements Of one Of their number
who has gained fame and distinction
purely by reason of his individual eff
forts.
The life history Of R. P. Chase, pres
ent State Auditor. should carry hope
to the heart of every American boy, no
matter how humble his station in life
may be, and impress upon his mind in
a most forcible manner the fact that
here in the United States-here in Min
nesot-nothing is beyond the reach Of
him who is willing to work and learn.
Ray Chase was born in Anoka, Min
nesota, March IL, 1880, being in reality
ten years younger than his gray hair
would lead one to believe He attended
the Anoka Public Schools, working on
a farm during the summer months. At
ter graduating from the high school,
piled lumber in the yards at Anoka
er for the Minneapolis Thresher
Works. He saved his earnings and at
tended the State University, working
at odd jobs mornings and evenings to
help pay his way. He graduated from
the Academic Course in 1903, and then
took up course Of law at the State
"P" and the St. Paul College Of Law
earning his degree and being admitted
to the Bar.
After being engaged in the news

about ten years. he became clerk in
the State Auditors office. He applied
that same energy, that same diligence,
that same thorough efficiency, that has
always marked his work to his new
position, with the result that after a
few months he was promoted to De-
putty State Auditor, position he held
for five years. When his chief, Hon.
J. A. o. Preus, was elevated to the
Governorship two years ago. he gave
public recognition to his chief deputy s
faithfulness and ability by promptly
appointing him State Auditor.
Thus the humble school boy who, but
few years ago, earned his living by
doing odd jobs around his home town
has risen through his own efforts to a
