claim to it. Orth was returned as having re-

McCabe Is now prepared to establish that
this majority was obtained BY fraud. Before
Congress adjourned he had secured evidence
to show that between seventy and eighty lie
gal votes were cast against him In single
county In the district Since that time he
has discovered evidence to show that from

$4,000 CT Judgments, have offered to retire or
take np these Judgments and pay the amount of

arrangement 1t ray make with the judgment
creditors for setlement under par. It is urged
that $3.50 900 invested in premium bonds now
IL equal to 1850 900 at date Of being put into pos
session OF the franchises. / have shown this
to be an absolute fallaey as no interest ia saved
or made. whether purchased now or ten years
hence. If the price paid Is the same and that
bonds purchased now have no other participa-
ton than similar bonds would have Ii purchased
six months or ten years hence.
am satisfied that rs no good reason could be
assigned for the acceptance OF ssso.ooo. when
$780, 600 can be obtained. that the Administrators
have too much good sense to award the contract
for sum that would purchase nearly one-half
million dollars less OF debt than the amount Of
fered By me. particularly whom such an award
could be act aside legally.
