DAKOTA VOTING
ENGINEERED,
CHARGE
La Toilette Stickers Used BY
Coolidge Men to Defeat
Johnson, Claim.
BY GLADSTONE WILLIAMS.
Cosnaopolitan News Service.

Charges that the Ignite mines
and other private corporations
flooded North Dakota with la Fol.
lette stickers to save President
Coolidge In the recent preferential
primary reached Washington to-
Approximately 500 900 La Fol.
1ette stickers are declared to have
been sent into the State, printed,
paid for and distributed by the lig.
mite interests. and not by friends
ot Senator La Toilette, az was the
popular belief at first. Similar.
charges have been limited by earn.
patgn managers Of Senator Hiram
Johnson, who han third in the State
primary.
The chief motive behind the coup
Yves to split up the Coolidge oppo.
0ition in the State and make 1t
possible for the President 90 win
out as plurality candidate. while
the long range objective was to
! gain favor with the Administration
to be used in influencing rail rates
on Ignite, which is q fair substi.
tute and q potential competitor Of
anthracite.
Suckers Cost $4,000.
For printing the sticlkers alone.
1.-THE Ignite mines and other in.
'terests are said to have paid
$4,000. President Coolidge Is
understood to have been informed
OF the coup after the primary but
knew nothing Of II before and
therefore declined comment.
In the three cornered race in
North Dakota, President Coolidge,
received approximately 5000 votes,
Senator La Toilette about 10000,
and Senator Johnson In the neigh.
bprhood Of $4,000. Court proceed.
ings were resorted to by Senator
Johnson's followers to have strlck.
en- from the official ballot the
name of Senator La Toilette, who
had previously withdrawn from
the contest.
Those behind the coup are charged
with acting on the assumption that
with La Toilette out OF. the race
the opposition to Mr.. Coolidge
would center on Senator johnson,
resulting in the Presidents defeat.
Accordingly the sticker campaign
was planned, not by Senator La
EolIette's friends, It Is asserted,
but by his enemies, who were also
opposed to the California Senator.
Aimed to Fool La Toilette.
It is further charged that the
sticlkers and the accompanying
propaganda were distributed in
such q way as to deceive Senator
La Toilette into believing the cam
paign was being conducted by his
friends. Otherwise, it is declared,
he would have vigorously de-
nounced the coup.
In addition to paying for the
printing of the stickers, the Ignite
and other interests are said to have
paid out substantial sums for
hiring automobiles to place the
stickers In all the country pre-
cincts, where opposition to the
President was strongest.
