the works of former congressman Charles A
Iindbergh the father of Col Charles A Lind
sergh the famous aviator, nave been removed from
the public and state libraries of Minnesota and 9th
er states of the northwest, and inquiry for copies
of the books from the former publishers, diScloses
that the books out of print and that copies
are not now available
When and how these books were removed from
Sire libraries is not known But from information
at hand it seems that the books have been system
Aticaly removed and destroyed by parties interest
ed. It seems that the books were stolen by some
body employed to do so and that the unsold edi-
ton and plates in the hands of publishers have
been purchased and destroyed, and not
available
Hon. Charles A. Lindbergh, ST., the father of
Col Charles A Lndbergh, Jr, was for many
years congressman from the sixth Minnesota con-
gressional district His home was at Little Falls
Minnesota, where he was for many years prior to
going to congress a practicing attorney. He also
owned a farm which he operated himself besides
6eng quite heavily interested in farm lands He
also was interested in the bank at Little Falls and
had interests in small banks in several surround
ing villages. 1t was at Little Falls that Charles
A Lindbergh, Jr. born, and attended public
and graduated from highschOol Congressman
Lindbergh was a noted progressive in congress,
and when the war broke out he voted against the
declaration and denounced the war He opposed
the establishment of the federal reserve bank to
the bitter end and wrote book against it. He
wrote several books on banking and farm prob
lens and was probably the greatest authority on
banks and banking to ever sit in the United States
congress, and his books on the federal reserve
bank and its role now reads as if were history in

sailed the banking house of Morgan and scathing-
Iy exposed Morgan and the international bankers
and their designs. His books were widely read in
Minnesota and the northwest as they were pub
5ished
In 1918 Lindbergh ST., retired from congress in
disbust and ran for the republican nomination for
governor of Minnesota, with the endorsement of
the Nonpartisan League A million dollars were
spent to defeat him. In March 1918 one hundred
percenters of Little Falls, in derison of the stand
of their congressman painted his house yellow-thc
house where young Col. Lindbergh was born and
spent his childhood. Iindbergh failing for nomi-
nation for governor, went 10 Minneapolis where he
engaged in the practice of law. He later ran for
the republican nomination for the United States
senate but failed, and was the candidate for the
Farmer-Labor nomination for governor in the
spring of 1924 when he suddenly died from an alb
on the brain, three years before his son made
the solo flight the Atlantic in the spring of
1921
uindbergh, ST., would have been nominated for
governor on the Farmer-Labor ticket had he liv-
ed and would without doubt have been elected gov
eEnOr in the fall of 1924. AS it was F1ovd Olson
was nominated and defeated by a small margin.
After Col. Lndbergh became famous he was
picked up and coddled by the rich and powerful
those whom his brilliant father had fought all Of
IT'S life. The young man became the national he
no and idOlized by the American public. He look
ed like his famous father and has much of his IA
theirs personality and modest and unassuming dis
position. In time he married the daughter Of
Dwight Morrow, partner in the Morgan banking
-hnzSe which his father had so denounced ther
Che ambassador to Mexico, where he corrupted the
Mexican government. Morrow later went 10 the
United States Senate from New Jersey.
Now the question arises: has Col. Lindbergl
,since he became famous and rich and highly con
Eected, become ashamed of the democratic ant
g7dical stand Of his famous father, and embarrass
ed by his books, entered into scheme to suppress
ana destroy them, is and has this been don
without his knowledge and consent by the bank
ing interests which realize that because of tn
fame and popularity of the son. they might agai
be called to the attention of the public-becom
widely read and thus do great damage to the in
ferests of the international bankers and war wac
ers, and so have done this 10 the hopes of complete
