In respect TO the statement that
Senator Logan owned several thou
sand acres of railroad lands, McAdoo
says that the article that had been
published last January and had been
copied from Maine to California had
not been contradicted by the Senator
or his friends in regard to his name
il that list.
Cannon said the records did not
show that the gentleman from New
Jersey had obtained leave to print it,
and therefore the record on its face
misled the House and country.
McAdoo, continuing, said: The
gentleman from Illinois says he
brought the matter before the House
because the record had been violated.

it was not to bring the
Houses attention to a violation of
the rule; it was simply because the
gentleman found the name of John

question Of the record was concerned
be believed the gentleman himself
had not delivered his tariff speech,
nor Is 1t printed in the records. Nc
Adoo said that in the record of April
