The governor charged that "thousands and thousands" of -Republican agents were posing as Demo crats and telling persons whom tney met that they wanted no more Demo cratic rule. -How They Operate "These scouts," the governor said, "have been traveling everywhere. X don't know how many men Will Hays has employed. You will find them in sleeping cars, smoking , 25-cent cigars for the first time in their lives. Their policy is to get into conversation with passengers. They will say: 'How's the election going?' 'Well, the scout says, 'I have been a Democrat for twenty years, but no more of it for me. I'm done.' f . "There are thousands and thousands of that kind of scouts traveling all over the United States, and big busi ness is paying the bill." Referring to the telegrams sent him from Chandler, the governor said -that one, asking an intricate question -on international law, it developed, was sent by a colored laundress. . v "This" he said, referring to the new bombardment of telegrams, "is one of the outgrowths of the Napoleonic mind of Will Hays."
