Crawford’s Dakota conduct attacked as fraud and favoritism
A critical pamphlet charges Coe I. Crawford with bad faith to Dakota constituents from 1889 through 1890s. It alleges he aided railroad corporate interests, opposed anti monopoly bills, and shifted positions on a Soldiers’ Home and tax laws, while courting higher office. It cites specific votes, dates, and journals to accuse him of self serving corruption.
