do recall the fact in connection with
the Judge that the question was raised
as 70 Mr.. McCunes citizenship, and
Judge Miner being on the spot and the
citizenship records of the court being
at Provo, l commissioned him to OBJ
tain a certified copy of Mr.. McCune's
certificate of citizenship.

not.

an has been here.
Hasn't he been there and one of the
parties connected with the headquar-
adviser. Mr. Bryan is distant rela-
tive of Mr.. McCune and very warmly
interested in his success. but not an
employee or an occasional adviser.

You were disappointed again? 1
was.
That report had gone out every day

That you thought McCune would be
elected? No, sir; l never heard II.
did hear it once before, but knew IL
would not happen. 1t was a street ru-
NOR.
Did you have any talk with Mr.. Nc
Cune about Mr.. Law on Saturday
morning? I was in the rear room of
the McCune headquarters when Mr..
been called UP by telephone by Mr..
him at the Wasatch drug store. That
was all.
He did tell you that he had been tele-
phoned? He told the crowd.
At that time you had assurances of
an election by thirty-two members? As
L have told you; yes.
Did you think it was strange that he
would go out of his headquarters, be-
by Democratic votes, to see a Repub-
odd. The impression that crossed my
necessary. but perhaps it was courtesy
might very well afford to pay.
Have there been other instances of
that kind where Mr.. McCune has been
parts of the city? l don't recall any
He went, did he? Put on his coat
and went? Yes, sir.
Pretty quickly after he got word? Not
