Inc recent county convention. held
IN Ashe county September 7, was the
result of a special act which Bowie
got through the 1885 General Assem-
ply calling the convention at this time

W Democratic executive committee,
although it already had a chairman
who term did not expire until next
year. But the reports from Ashe coun-
ty are that the county Democratic
executive committee has Eeen the on
" body Tam did not control and that
he wanted a county committee and a
chairman that belonged to his fac

sage of this law it is believed, in or
der to oust Ira T. Johnston, who was
chairman-and who is still chairman
and to put some one of his own
choosing in as chairman. The reports
from Ashe county are that Tam had
hoped to put his son, Tam C. Bowie,
Jr., in as county chairman.
But the Democrats in Ashe county
just would not stand for this last
move on the part of Tam. They had
been watching on the Gidelines for
years as he gradually increased his
influence to the point where he came
to be generally recognized as the po-
litical dictator of the county. SO when
they went to their precinct meetings,
they voted for the candidates which
they knew would vote for and sup
port Ira Johnson rather than Bowie'S
candidate. And when these precinct
meetings were over, Tam knew he
was licked. There was a light in his
office in West Jefferson until long
after midnight on the night following
the precinct meetings as his messen-
gers came in from the various pre-
cincts, many Of them miles back in
the mountains, to report that he had
been beaten in almost every meeting,
according to those who followed the
course of events there. The result was

been a tremendous job to purchase all
these books and send them out to the

them to their principals and teachers.
But for the excellent cooperation
given by the superintendents. princi-

Gentlemen, let us 60 back a

patton of these dictatorial powers

law-Sheriff Helmer Myre and
his deputies. The sheriff was
seriously injured. He was at
tackled by a mob estimated to
consist of more than two hun
dred men, some one or more
of whom struck him several
blows with dangerous weapon.
That mob, gentlemen, was urged
on and led by men there is every
reason to believe are members of
the communist party of the
U. S. A., an organization formed
for the avowed purpose of de-
stroying all forms of government
not patterned after the Russian
soviet.
At least one of the defendants
in this case which so disturbs Our
governor, was Ray Hemenway,
one of the men jailed for partici-
pating in the attack on Sheriff
Myre and also one of the signers
of the affidavit of prejudice
against District Court Judge
Norman E. Peterson of Albert

For many years-in fact up to
the issuance of this gubernatorial
edict by Farmer-Labor Governor
Floyd B. Olson, it has been GUS

defendant feels that his rights
might be invaded through preju-
dice of the trial judge, to file af-
fdavit of prejudice, but to my
knowledge and from my per-

dicial affidavit is filed with the

his official acts that he merits

moval from office, even though

duration of any particular case.
Now let's see why these de-
PENDANTS aOeYe defendants called
to appear before any court Of
law in answer to charges of law
violation:
On the night of Feb. S, 1885,
rioting broke out at the Potter
Foundry Co., plant in Albert Lea.
The rioters "stormed the plant" !,
wherein some twenty-five special
deputies-deputized legally and
lawfully with all the powers con-
ferred on any police officer
we're quartered. These deputies
were threatened with assault,
with great bodily harm to their
persons. Sheriff Myre and Po-
lice Chief Miles Norton, went to
! the plant in answer to a riot
call. They found barbados
piled against all avenues of exit.
In the pursuance of their duty,
they began removing the barri-
cades. The sheriff was attacked
by a mob estimated at "about
two hundred men" and it is
charged that the defendants NAM
ed in the affidavit of prejudice
were members of that rioting
mob.
Just why should the governor
of this, or any other state, as
sumo from the unsupported state
ment of rioting members of an
alleged labor organization that
they, the accused, would be I'm
able to secure a fair and impair
tial trial in any court before
they had had opportunity to learn
If the presiding judge acre brejn-
diced or not9
Perhaps our governor had adj
vance information as to what
Judge Peterson's decision would
be, but we have a right to assume
that the accused would be pro-
tected in their constitutional
right to trial by jury and there
fore the mere suspicion of preju-
dice on the part of the trial judge
appears utterly unfounded or
founded upon "mere suspicion"
in the minds of the accused-and
others.
The right of strike was not
and has not been questioned. The
right to peacefully picket is not
involved. But the right of riot
ing, of committing assault ash
intent to do great bodily harm
does not exist-and these men
were facing charges of this ma
| ture.
| If the time has arrived when
courts are denied their right to
hear and weigh evidence, to con-
duct trials without fear of gu
bernatorial interference or fear
of removal for even a brief pc
Rod of time, then we have in
deed embarked upon perilous
paths.

addressed to Gov. Olson, are ad-
mitted members of the strikers
group. The Governor was and
has been aware of the fact that
a strike was in progress against
the Potter Foundry Company of
Alter Lea; he was familiar with
the occupancy of the District
Court bench in Albert Lea; he
must have had full knowledge
of the law, or practice in such
cases, yet having such knowledge
he wilfully injects his powerful
presence and influence into a la
Dor controversy, thereby casting
a serious reflection on a men,
Der of the bench and setting a
dangerous precedent.
The bench is the last bulwark
of American citizenship, of pro-
lection against a dictatorship,
against assault upon the rights
and liberties of more than one
hundred and twenty million peo-
pie, and gentlemen of the judi
ciary, those rights are paramount
to the rights of any Governor-
else Our democracy has come to
its end
The defendants in the case in
question are members of the EN-
dependent Union of All Work
ers"-a name, a title, that reads
like the title of any Russian So
Wet organization-as a matter of
fact and of history, a duplicate
of the title adopted by the Boil
sheviki organization of Russia
during the bloody days of the
revolution.
But the origin or name of the
organization is of small moment.
The vital question to be decided,
once and for all, is, whether
the governor of this state had a
right to invade the precincts of
the judiciary and, without hear
ing, establish a precedent that
will eventually result in total
disorganization of our judicial
systern-a day when a governor
may, at his pleasure, establish
the court of his choice for the
trial of favorites of a chief ex-
ecutive.
submit, gentlemen of the ju-
dietary, that the governor of this
state has, by his act in this ap-
parently minor instance, estab-
lished a dangerous precedent and
one that should call for repri-
mand by or at least an explana-
ton to the district courts of this
state.
There has been no evidence
submitted, to my knowledge, that
District Court Judge Norman E.
Peterson aVas prejudiced in this
case. Judge Peterson is held in
high regard by his fellow towns
men and by members of the
bench in every district.
There had been no previous
trial of these men before Judge
Peterson, therefore the governor
had no ground upon which to
base his action except that OF
belief" and I ask you in all
sincerity, from zVhat other source
than the biased statement of the
defendants in this case did the
