Oilbi And you ran for Cong2*ess at that tirae. How did you 

 do then? 



Oogglns: Well, I did mueh bette^t of eourse^ but I had a 

 whole big territory* %at was the first tisio 

 Earl Warren ran for Dlatriot Attorney* The 

 Democrats supported us# Bi^yan eaine to California 

 and spoke for liaFollette* The Republioans were 

 really afraid Xisfollette would earry California* 



0ilbt How 1 remember that LaFollette was also backed by 

 Hudolph Spreekels and financed* 



Cogginss Tea* But not very heavilyf I guess* He helped ue 



some financially but X don't think he had much money 

 in those days* But anyway he took a stand* Also 

 Frank Hen^i^ the prosecutor of Abe Ri»f • Neither 

 of these men was afraid of people* Conservatives 

 considered Spreekels a traitor* 



G^llbt Well now* Spreekels had at &a» time been affiliated 

 with the Johnson movement » and by this time Johnson 

 was a Senator and had beoosM Identified with 

 isolat|.«Bisa* What was joor fftXing about Johnson 

 by this time? 



Cogginsi X admired Johnson sometimes* X*d like to have kept 

 out fC hHhT* But X would have voted to telp the 

 Europeans in any way except by killing them*
