Referring to the Communist at

honey said:
Some opposition was manifest
against participation Of certain
groups, but the dominant sentiment
was that the time had come for a
great coalition movement among all
progressives who would agree on
certain definite demands along legal
and constitutional lines. Prejudices
and factionalism were rejected"
Mahoney also spoke Of the golden
opportunity for the new nationa,

CONVENTION HALL. ST. PAUL,
MINI, June IA call to farmers
and workers of the Nation to unite
in a national farmer party-backing
Senator Robert NJ. La Toilette as a
presidential candidate-was sounded
here today in the opening keynote
speech Of Temporary Chairman Viii
liam MahOney. opening the third
party convention.
The time is ripe to overthrow the
old line Republican and Democratic
parties Mahoney told the assem-
bled delegates representing the west
ern revolt against existing economic
conditions.
The various shades Of radicals
must forget their animosities and
blend themselves in a composite
group behind one presidential nomi-
nee" he declared.
Would Unite Elements
In one breath criticising La Fol
lette for his attitude upon the COM
munistic elements in the convention.
Mahoney in the next breath pointed
to him as the logical man to unite
the dissatisfied forces of the Nation
into a powerful group with some
good hope of successfully overthrow
ing the major parties.
Mahoney cOntended that La Fol
lette has been "misled" into a de-
nunciation Of the convention.
We are meeting in response to a
sentiment Of the great mass Of the
farmers and workers for a distinct
Farmer-Labor party" Mahoney, who
is secretary Of the Minnesota Far
mer-Labor party which has been so
successful in this State, declared.
Attitude UnwaTTanted
1T was a cruel and unwarranted
attitude for Senator La Toilette to
take" he said The unusual char
acter of the attack inclines one to
the belief that the affair was not of
MS making. but was Matched up by
labor politicians in Washington who
are opposed to the organization of
national Farmer-Labor party and in
duced La Toilette to assassinate a
movement that threatened to dis
pense with the service Of high priced
labor lobbyists"
But Mahoney at the same time
made clear that there must be no dis
ruptions of progressive ranks, as in
former presidential campaigns when
the Farmer-Labor party advanced
one man and the Socialists another.
"Our big task will be to lay the
foundation of a movement that will
provide a place for every earnest
human being to help along in the
movement for our common enamel
patton" he said.
To accomplish this, we must have
harmony, unity and cooperation"

COUNCIL MEMBER
$4,000 Should Be Repaid
Declares Ray-JohnSon

The city councils probe of alleged
irregularities in the city administra-
ton will continue until every effort
to prosecute Fred Cline, member of
the park board, who resigned Mon
day, has been exhausted. it was in
dictated today.
Cline resigned when the council,
charging he sold filing station sites
on boulevards by using his position
on the park board to advance per
sonal interests, demanded it of
Mayor Shank. A few hours later
Shank announced the appointment
of Emsley W. Johnson, attorney, to
succeed Cline.
Johnson, a Republican, formerly
was county attorney and is a trus-
tee of Butler University. He has
been active in county politics. He

ton When I started this probe I
started in good faith. We were of
fered brides and threatened during
the days of our sessions. The cOun-
Gil now has turned over evidence on
which the prosecutor can proceed in
the legal way
I think the evidence submitted is
so thorough that Cline should reim-
burse the city $40 600 out Of his own
pocket" continued Ray.
Through Own Efforts
No city money was involved in
any Of my transactions, and bought
the land for filing stations and sold
them through my own efforts" said
Cline in his written statement to
Mayor Shank following his resigna-
ton.
Cline said he would oppose charges
of the council if it would not en-
barrass the Shank administration. He
pointed out that the Sunnyside
Realty Co, which the council
charged was organized for Cline's
personal profit in real estate deals
was started in 1913 while he became
a member of the park board in 1922.
