Washington, March 29.@The state

tegrity of American statesmen pre-
ferred by Capt. Christmas and
| brought to the attention of the house
of representatives. The department

attention by reason of insufficient
evidence and obvious error in state

ment is perfectly aware also that
the Danish government does not in
tend to pay one cent of the $500, 900
claimed by Christmas as his commits

money could be used to corrupt
American statesmen and newspapers.

in the overtures for the purchase of
the Danish West Indian islands in

and outrageous that 1 feel justified in
washing my hands of the whole af-

| with the belief that it could never
see the light. But its publication has
| shown its absurdity. 1 am quite sure
Christmas never saw the men he men
tons, and I believe the report was
made for the purpose of personal
gain

Mr.. Jim Bowling, a Democrat, who was

The convention was cut and dried and

The dominating spirits of the move
ment and the convention were the follow

Mangum, deputy postmaster, who was the
most active delegate at the convention
and who presented the platform drawn in

which is Independent in politics said
