Banks, former local agitator and convicted slayer, organlwd the self-styled "Good Gov ernment congress," Brecheen en rolled and was the "story-teller" of the conclaves and assemblies. It was Brecheen's Job to "make 'em laugh," and his platform appearances were never msrked by fiery orations and wild charges. A Friend of r. R. Re claimed to be "a personal friend of President Roosevelt of 3S years standing." When a "congresswoman" doubted the claim, Brecheen dared her to send a telegram to Washing ton, D. 0., which was done at county expense, It Is said. This was about the time other "congress" leaders were alleging Intimate acquaintance with chief Justices, senators and cab inet officials, to impress the rank and file. Following Brecheen, the Indict ments against J. Oroft, "the man in the horae-halr cost." Oliver Martin, former Klamath county resident, and Claude Ward, brother-in-law of Banks will be aired.
