1t has been sadly amusing to |
observe the play of the great anti
Olson (?) Minneapolis Journal
and its sister dailes, in reference
TO a court fight going on in the
Hennepin County District Court
concerning the legality of Floyd
B. Olson's campaigning and cleo
ton.
A petition was filed last De-
oember by twenty-nine substantial
citizens requesting that the court
declare Olson forfeited his right
to hold the governorship because
of three distinct violations of the
corrupt practices act, charging
viz: -
l. That Olson owned a f.
nancial interest in a political
newspaper and failed to file a
statement setting out the de-
tails of that ownership with
the Hennepin County auditor,
as required by law of candi-
dates for public Office.
2. That he filed with the Sec
rotary of state a false state
ment of his campaign receipts
and disbursements covering the
period from June until the No
vember election. 1t is required
by law that candidates file
complete statements of all
things of value received and
expended for political cam
paign. That Olson did not ac-
count for some two thousand
column inches of political adj
vertising carried in his Farmer
Labor Leader and failed to
account for any of the radio
time received and used by him
to promote his candidacy.
8: That Olson swore to his
filed statement of 1888 as being
his total campaign expense dur
ing those months of campaign
ing, when as a matter of fact
the value of those 1000
column inches of advertising
in the FL Leader were con-
servatively worth $4,000 and
the radio time 81 900, amounts
far in excess of the limits le-
gally allowed for campaign ex-
penditures.
The Jomrndieapparently sought
to squelch the move at the start
for its staff lawyer furnished a
written opinion, copies of which
were sent to a large number of
prominent Minneapolis citizens.
The opinion was adverse to the
interests of the; petitioners and
favored not pressing the action.
This attorney later found that
