which places DIR. ]. w. Watts In rather a
peculiar light. According tols DIR. Watts
secured her position as clerk, which
she swears TO as follows; "After arriving
at Salem Senator Watts told me that, as
chairman OF the committee on corpora
tions, he could appoint me TO a clerkshin to
that committee, but that he would expect
me TO give him one dollar per day out oil
my per diem during the time should be so
employed, and informed that this was GUS
tomary, and that he had perfect right 70

OF state and was sworn In as such clerk to
said committee" After serving week

claimed, because she refused TO call on hlm
