Montana Fight Over Slattery Aims To Name Ewald US Attorney
A Montana rally scene shows Idaho interests led by Borah ally Colonel Lanstrum pressing to replace John L. Slattery as United States district attorney with F. A. Ewald of Great Falls. Proponents include Bill Wade of the Anti-Saloon League and Ku Klux Klan figures, claiming Slattery’s Catholic faith and limited zeal against bootleggers justify the change. The drive, backed by Montana prohibition chief Marsters and Methodist leaders, is described as an attempt to let Idaho influence Montana political appointments.
