The statement Of Mello contains
within 1t an array of facts which of
themselves prove the charge they seek
to substantiate wholly false.
What a merry machine politician
would be the man who tries to COLOMBO
a precinct and then gives work to a
man who refused to colonize. The
whole thing is so utterly preposterous
that 1t quiets any fears that might hlth-
erto have existed among people who
have heard the indefinite stories Of the
bad things Sam Johnson Is doing with

The only difficulty with the affidavit
of Mello is that colonizers do not work
in that way.
