Judge Parker that Chairman Cortelyou
with the full knowledge and approval or
the President has been using hold-up
methods In collecting contributions from
the trusts and combines of the country,
has insulted the intelligence. rather than
questioned the honor of the two geneltmen
concerned.
In my opinion 1t must be inconceivable
to even the ordinarily intelligent mind that
two men who have given ample and prior
proofs of their saEacity and good sense
would be guilty of any such laundering
methods as those charged by Judge Parker.
II is a reflection on their business ability,
an aspersion of their mental attainments,
rather than an assault upon their moral
integrity. If | may quote from the speech
