Yes, I think he was. Of course, he was in the hair 

 of all those farmers up there and he had helped to 

 cause all this agitation up there before, which led 

 to the trouble, and led to people being put in cattle 

 corrals, and I had made up my mind there would be no 

 riots and there would be no cattle corrals and that 

 this would be handled in a business-like way. I took 

 the position that anyone who wanted to could win this 

 strike but not with violence, and there is where I 

 stepped in. When violence came along, this was my 

 job and I governed, or expected to govern at that 

 stage. 



When you asked Nathan to leave the county, or took him 

 to the line, did this get any reaction — this was a 

 heavy labor-organized county, I think — did you get 

 any reactions from organized labor? 



None whatever. No, I had no reactions; this was just 

 done so easily and so quietly and so beautifully that 

 if anybody had any ideas they just quit it right then 

 and there. I had no other altercation that I remember. 

 This was the nearest I had in the whole eight years, 

 I learned this later -- can we go into the LaFollette
