SENATOR sHIPsTEAD's COMMENTS


on patronage and use of public funds to in
fluence voters, made in connection with tn
Christgau custer, are worthy of the highes
commentator. Following is part of Wash
ington dispatch concerning his action an
attitude on the matter:
Following the debate among other senat-
ors Senator Shipstead took the floor declar-
ing he was under no obligations to Christgau
and had nothing to do with his appointment
The senator had the clerk read telegram
dated May &c. which he had received from the
state secretary Of the Farmer-Labor associa-
ton in Minnesota, and his reply. The tele-
gram said the state committee urges you to
contact Hopkins and Aubrey Williams for re-
moval of Christgau on account of his anti
labor policies. We meet again Saturday and
desire expression as to your attitude"
Shipstead replied that if the opposition to
Christgau was based on "anti-labor policies"
the matter should be taken up with Hopkins
and President Roosevelt, whose agent he is
and from whom he takes ORDERS" and sug-
gested that such request should be accom-
panied by proof of the allegations which you
make"
The senator declared that while charges
and allegations had been made on both sides
of the controversy, one had offered any
proof or asked for hearing land no one has
offered any evidence" and for that reason, he
had taken the same position he would take
with respect to any man ''holding public office
and who occupies place that some one else
may DESIRE.
Pointing out that his idea of an admins
trative office is that it belongs to the executive
branch of the government, Shipstead declared
that if man has record that cannot be call
ed reprehensible; if he is not guilty of NAL
feasance in office or of incompetence, sit is
none of my affair, unless it is shown by ire
futable evidence that he is guilty, and the ex-
ecutive power which appoints MIN refuses to
remove him"
Under such conditions, the senator said,
he might step across the line between the leg
islative and the executive fields and demand
that the executive perform his public function
to protect the public service.
THAT he said, "has been my position in
regard to patronage He declared he had
never subscribed to the theory that the legis-
lative branch should accept patronage from
the executive-"I always considered it form
of bribery
Shipstead expressed the opinion that many
in the United States who would use public
funds or permit public funds to be used to
influence a free election by a free people
ought to be driven out of public office.
