To the Editor of The World-IC / alone
were concerned ] should pay no attention
to the sl8nderous matter contained i'm
your issue Of yesterday, headed "Van
Aliens Bargain" So far as ] personally
am concerned, any one who chooses to think
me capable Of bargaining an office for q
political contribution is welcome to their
opinion. Having lived a good part of my
life in public affairs, am certain that no
one for whose opinion / have the least re
gard would entertain the thought for a
moment But there is much more than
my personality in this matter Mr. Van
Allen has been set upon and caricatured
and libeled in every way. | propose to re-
lieve him from blame so far as l have
had relations with him.
