J. Dudley, Esq, Senator, from Franklin and
hei He'd mad
lowing statement on the floor of the Senate One
day, in January, 1926 F. p. Blair came into
the Senate Chamber, seated himself me, and
inquired my opinion the resolution passed request
ing our members oil Congress TO vote for General
jackson az President of the United States. Mr. Il.
desired that would write letters requesting the mem
bers and particularly d. White from this district, TO
consult with Mr.. Cl0y and vote as he might desire.
To this | objected, and gave my reasons therefor.
Mr.. b. appeared surprised that should raise any
oblec tons, particularly as was opposed TO the reso-
lulions. lie said that number OF members OF both
houses, who voted for the resolutions, had written
such letters and that could do IL with more prolr'-
ety. He said il Mr.. White could be induced TO
vote for Mr. Adams he would obtain the vote of Ken
lucky, and with 1t the votes OF most of the Western
States, which would elect him, IN which case MIR.
Clay would obtain the appointment OF Secretary G
State. then inquired how that fact had been as
certaneds His answer was that letters bad been re-
ceved from gentlemen of undoubled veracry at
Washing ton city, containing such information that
might rely with confidence that statement. | re.
Piled that although was opposed to the resolutions,
| had no doubt they contained the truth, and there
fore could not say word to induce our members
OF Congress to believe otherwise. | further protest
ed against Mr. Clay's accepting any Office under Mr.
Adams, whom considered a Federallst OF The Boston
stamp in 1898 and 1907, and thenceiorwa ard enemy
Of the West; you have 1t my opinion that If they
were united, they would sink together"
