MADISON KLUX WARN

BLAINE REESTABLISHES
DEPOSED COUNTY JUDGE

MONROE. Wis.-John NJ Becker,
ousted from his position as Green
county Judge during the war because
of conviction for violation OF the
espionage act, today was appointed 10
the same position by GOV. Blaine.
The case against Becker was dis
missed following his appeal from the
conviction. Before his removal, he
served 20 years as county judge.
The governor in his memorandum OF
appointment declared that the es-
nIonage Jaw was misused and abused
during the war, there is no doubt.
There was wrong committed
against Mr.. Becker, and his appoint
ment to the Office from which he was
removed makes possible partial res
titution of his rights
Judge Becker, a strong La follette
supporter, was found guilty IN 1918
in federal court of the charge that he
did willfully and feloniously cause
and attempt to cause INSTRUMENTATION,
disloyalty and mutiny and refusaI OF
duty in the military and naval forces
of the United States"
Sentenced TO serve three years at
Leavenworth, he appealed to the U. 5.
court of appeals and obtained stay
of execution. In 1920 the court re-
versed the decision and he was freed
on the ground that most of the state
ments attributed to him were made
prior to the declaration Of war.
OuSted by PhiIipp.
When he was convicted he was
ousted from his position by Gov e. l..
Phillip. The term for which he had
been elected would not have expired
until Jan. 5, 1920. He brought suit to
recover pay for that period, amount
ing to 1888. The suit was dismissed
by Circuit Judge George Grimm, who
held that Becker was guilty of an in
famous crime and had been removed
for that reason. The decision was
upheld by the state supreme court.
The charge on which Becker was
tried was based partly on a speech at
Monroe. Feb. 5, 1918, when he is al
legged to have said, This idea of hav-
ing a ministry of fuel and food is ridi-
culous: this is a rich mans war"
In 1917 Becker announced that he
would be a La Toilette candidate for
governor and engaged Peter J. Zisch,
Milwaukee, as his manager. Becker
said he counted on large farmer
vote, because OF MS view IuoI d IeA0l-
endum should have been had before
the United States declared war. Later
he withdrew, saying he could not
make the run on account Of illness in
his family.
Opponents of Becker point out that
sentiment of the country was reflected
in the fall elections, when Becker was
decisively defeated in the primary as
a Republican candidate for district
attorney and again defeated while
running as an independent at the No
vember election.
