"We are going to get to the

MacGure was before the com

finished his story. He told the' com
mittee that he knew nothing of
any fascist plot to set up a dic

ever discussed any such matter

He told the committee that
General Butler was a friend of his

was at that time that the basis for
the Butler story is said to have
been laid.
MacGuire suggested that "Gen

The voters of Jefferson county
and not the courts had the final
voice in declaring who was to be
district attorney there, it was re
vealed when the state supreme
court handed down its weekly
grist of opinions Tuesday.
V. S. Howard, incumbent, sought
the democratic nomination for the
office at the primary election and
was successful. A week later, Ber
nard H. Ramsey, runner-up, filed
a suit in the Jefferson county cir
cuit court in which he contested
Howard's nomination on the
grounds that he had violated the
corrupt practices law. Ramsey's
contention was upheld both by the
Jefferson county circuit court and
the supreme court and the secre
tary of state was ordered to place
his name on the general election
ballot. Howard subsequently filed
motion for a rehearing of the case
in the supreme court.
While Ramsey and Howard
were quarreling in the courts as
to who was entitled to the demo
cratic nomination, Boyd R. Over
hulse eatered actively into the
campaign and was successful at
the general election. The supreme
court Tuesday dismissed How
ard's motion for a rehearing.
The supreme court also denied
the petition for a rehearing in the
suit brought by the Sitka Spruce
company of Coos county against
the Home Mottgage company. The
Coos county circuit eourt recently
held for the plaintiff in this case
and this decree later was upheld
by the supreme court.
