and laborer; that he praised Senator
l.a foiiettc; that there is no govern
ment excepi President Wilson and

Graham a pro-German and the

report him to the federal officials.
He said Graham went tj O. H.
Menold, agency director of the .New

American citizen has the righjt to do
the same.
Graham denied he made the state
ments except that he had said there

red tape all along the line and he
wanted to see the government put on
an efficiency basis in conducting the
war. He said his statements were
misconstrued.
