Schlplin S Keynote
Speech Has Appeal
Continued From Page One)

We are expected to believe that
the platform does not mean
what 1t says. We have been
told that state ownership and
all the rest of the communis-
tic planks in that platform are
mere indications Of sentiment
rather than working formulate.
The truth of the matter is
simply this: That platform was
adopted in convention assemb-
led, and is the mandate of the
party if that party is returned
to power in Minnesota next
November.
If the Farmer-Labor leaders
who rode into office on Roose-
velt's coat-tails in Minnesota
had been honest and sincere in
their professions of loyalty to
Roosevelt they would have de-
clared themselves Democrats.
After the Roosevelt election
that invitation was officially
extended to them by James A.
Farley, the Democratic nation
al chairman, in an address he
made in st. Paul. They would
have been welcomed with OPP
en- arms. They chose in order
to betray their followers in or
der to play the role Of political
opportunists hoping and pray
ing that something would go
wrong with the Roosevelt re-
covery program.
Counties, townships, munich
palities and school districts In
Minnesota needed his call, and
from 1880 to 1888, decreased
their taxes IT per cent.
What did the state do? In
1880 the state called for IL
millions of dollars in taxes. In
1888 it called for Is millions Of
dollars in taxes. In the face
of decreases on the part of al
most every other governmental
unit in Minnesota, our state
government actually increased
its taxes by CT percent. The
administration in power at the
state house did not hear the
call of the people, or if it heard,
did not feel it necessary to
heed the appeal.
Let us look at the record here
in Stearns county. We find
fbat tho taxes are as follows:
1880 1888
County .-.-...-.-.. $496,875 $284,8O3
Townships 1890 1883 69,651
Cities, villages 363,459 294,657
Schools .-..----.-.. $50, 160 536,664
State ....--...-.....- 178,455 274,234
I I shall fight a clean, open
fight in this campaign and if I
am nominated few days hence,
shall continue that kind Of a
fight until next November. I
have come into this contest
with clean hands; I want to
finish it in the same way.
I have pledged before and
hereby pledge again, chat no
matter who is nominated on
June Is, I shall give him my
wholehearted support, I gave
that kind of support to both
the state and naional ticket in
1892, and shall do it again in
1894.
There are enough votes in
this state to administer a sting
ing rebuke to the challenge of

communism. A combination Of
Democrats, Republicans and
the levelheaded Farmer-Labor-
ties who have bolted their par
ty this year is more than
enough to turn the tide. I ap-
peal to those voters to rally
under the common banner of
sane and safe government.

CARPENTERS STRIKE
ACTION POSTPONED
Negotiations Virtually Suspended
Over Week End in National
Capital.

Negotiations in the union carpen-
ters' strike here were virtually sus-
pended over the week end. As labor
is on a five-day week no union jobs
were working today, and no confer
ences were scheduled between repre-
sentatives of the carpenters and con-
tractors.
In well-informed quarters it was
said there would be no developments
over Sunday. and nothing could be
expected until Monday at least.
A strike of 40 employees of the Crit
tall Manufacturing Co, makers Of
steel window frames. at 1924 Twenty
fourth street, was averted today
through Intervention of the National
Labor Board.
All the employees of the firm are
members of the Metal Window Work
ers' Union, an affiliate of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, and they
demanded a general raise of 10 per
cent. After conferences with officers
of the company. the demand was met
in an oral agreement. and the 10
per cent increase was agreed to be-
come effective with the present work
week, which began Thursday.

NORRIS, INDICTED,
DEGREES ACTION
Former Aide to Attorney
General Terms Proceed
ing Ridiculous"

Raymond S. Norris, formerly special
assistant to the Attorney General,
today described as ridiculous" action
of Federal grand jury in New York
yesterday in indicting him for con-
spiracy to defraud the Government
of its right to have the business OF
the post Office conducted with i'm
partiality."
Norris. who resides at 6318 Meadow
lane, Chevy Chase, was indicted
jointly with Solomon c. Sugarman
disbarred New York attorney, recently
convicted on mail fraud charges. The
attorney said he had not read the
indictment, but that he was entirely
innocent Of any wrong-doing."
Sensational accusations against
Norris and Sugarman were made sew
eral weeks ago by Paul Rosen. official
Of the Sheldon Hosiery Co.. who
pleaded guilty in court to using the
mails to defraud in connection with
advertised offers of the firm to sell
six pairs of stockings for 81. The
buyers didn't receive the hosiery, it
was testified.
Rosen, friend of the late Arnold
Rothstein, gambler, alleged that be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 was paid
Norris as a result of negotiations by
means of a secret code" When Nor
ris wanted $1,000, the witness told
the court, he would send word that he
needed "a G string for my fiddle"
In return tor the money, Roser
testified, Norris agreed to delay ac-
ton against the hosiery company ano
its four officials until Rosen and his
associates had had time Ito cover up.
Rosen said Sugarman introduced
him to Norris at New York hote
as "a man you can talk to-" He de-
clared Norris agreed verbally to delay
investigation and prosecution OF the
firm for two or three weeks.
Norris took the stand in the mai
fraud trial and denied all of Rosen's
allegations. The attorney will be ar
raigned on the conspiracy charge
shortly in New York City.
Rosen, under questioning on the
stand, admitted friendship with Roth.
