Does Not -Meet Test.
That Mr. Ballinger does not meet the
required tests. Mr. Brandels main
tained, has been conclualvely estab
lished and If this was true the depart
ment of the Interior should be under
other supervision. Mr. Brandels con
tinued by giving a chronological re
sume of the Alaska coal lands situation
and Olavts' connection with It. He
laid particular stress on the fact that
Mr. Ballinger, as commissioner of the
general land office, was fully acquaint
ed with It. He pointed out that the
Cunningham claimants are Secretary
Ballinger's personal and political
friends and they are powerful and In.
fluentlal.
"Was It a coincidence," he asked,
“that the Investigation by Special
Agent Jonee In the summer of 1907 was
stopped shortly after Bee rotary r
linger went to Seattle, shortly after
making of the agreement between the
Morgan-Guggenhelm syndicate and the
Cunningham claimants 7"
After tracing the history of the Cun
ningham claims up to the time of clear
listing them and detailing Secretary
Ballinger's part In the matter, the at
torney declared that the suspicion of
the clear listing order after (Mavis' pro
test was evidently done by Secretary
Ballinger with the Idea that ultimately
the patents and methods by which he
would have them granted waa by the
Cale bill, which he advocated during
his closing days ae the commissioner,
but which felled.
The Cunningham Claims.
Mr. Brandels then took up Secretary
Ballinger's action In acting as counssl
for the Cunningham claimants after
he ceased to be commissioner and re
viewed the evidence In that respect,
showing that Ballinger, after having
handled the claims as commissioner,
felt no hesitancy In representing the
claimants as counsel, yet when he be
came secretary of the Interior "he felt
barred from representing the people for,
as he had stated, he Incidentally acted
Cunningham claimants.'"
He felt no hesitancy, tho. in hasten
ing the Investigation to the end that
patents might be granted, hut hta for
mer relations prevented him from or-

hearing which might result In preserv
ing the Interests of the people."
Aa to Secretary Ballinger's protesta
tions that he had not handled the coal
cases since becoming secretary, Mr.
Brandels said, "Mr. Ballinger knew all,
and. In effect, he did all. It needs no
writing signed by him to do ths act.
It needed no specific Instruction."
Charges of Disloyalty.
Mr. Brandels then turned hie atten
tion to the charge of Insubordination
against Olavls because he had gone
over the head of his superior officer In
taking the cate to the attorney gen
eral and afterward to the president
when he taw that the Interests of the
public were about to be placed In jeop
ardy. He said there was a higher loy
alty than the loyalty which he owed
Secretary Ballinger. It waa a loyalty
to the American people. Tbe earns was
true of Stenographer Kerby. They had
not taken an oath of loyalty to Secre
tary Ballinger, but to the government
of the United States.”
Speaking of Mr. Kerby, Mr. Brandels
declared that he had spoken only when
It became obvious that "his superiors
were seeking to conceal facts which
the committee had asked for. and when
It was apparent that the truth could be
gotten at In no ether way.
"To criticise Kerby for this act.'
Id, "Involves a total mlsconceptlo.. .
the nature of our government. The de
mand of personal loyalty to Secretary
Ballinger, aa distinguished from loyalty
to the American people, reeta upon a
misconception of democracy."
Mr. Brandels then took up the course
followed by Olavls In appealing to tho
president when he realised that noth
ing else could avail. He had at first
sought advice of the forestry service
and this Commissioner Dennet had
characterised es an act of "treachery”
by a man “having the coal cases on the
brain."
The Alaskan Heritage.
That was Dtnnet's explanation of the
action of a man who was appealing to
a co-ordinate branch of the government
to preserve to the people the vast
Alaskan heritage. That was the way
Oennet saw It.
Speaking of Olavls' statement to the
president, Mr. Brandels said: "There
U In that statement nothing but fncts—
facts staled without Inference. There
Is In that statement not a single charge.
In the proper tense of that word,
against Mr. Ballinger, or any one else.
If a charge necessarily results It Is
because the facts—not Olavls—ranks
the charges and there Is nothing omit
ted from the statement, nothing re
quired for the fair conaldemtlon of the
apeclffc facta eubmltted.”
Mr. Glavle had concluded with a
statement that the forestry service
could verify what he had said, yet, de
clared Mr. Brandela. waa It ever made
to the forestry service? He went on to
show the great volume of documents
which had been submitted by Secre
tary Ballinger In reply to the (Mavis
statement and to tell how Secretary
Ballinger had taken Assistant Attor
ney Oeneral raiwler, who had a special
grudge against Olavls. to the president
to have him. a subordinate of Bal
linger and beholden to him for his
office, write the decision condemning
Olavls without even a knowledge of
the charges against him or an oppor
tunity to tee the evidence and uph
Ing Ballinger.
Not until two months afterward did
Olavls give the public a statement in
criticism of Ballinger. The necessities
of the situation then forced him to de
fend himself and without thla Inves
tigation. Mr. Brandels sold. Mr. Olavls
would never have been given an oppor
tunity to answer the groundless charges
against him.
Ths Causa of lha Paople.
In conclusion Mr. Brandela aald:
"This Investigation has been referred
as s struggle for conservation,
struggle against the special Interest. It
Is that, but it is far more. In Its
essence It Is the struggle for democra
the struggle of the small man
against overpowering Influence of the
big politically aa well aa financially
the effort to establish that every
American Is entitled to equal justice—
In the public service as well as In the
courts—that no official Is so highly sta
tioned that he mag trample ruthlessly
nnd unjustly upon even the humblest
American cltlten. The cause of Olavls
la the cause of the common people and
more especially the cause of the hun
dreds of thousands of government offi
cials.''
