Senator Warren speaks for himself. as

there is any foundation in fact for the al
legations OF Meyendorff
In press ditpatches from Salt Lake
day or so ago the intimation was given
that the grand jury sitting In that city
had under consideration indictments
against two United States senators. In
discussing the case Senator Warren said:
IF Meyendorff, made such an affidavit
he must have been indulging In pipe
dreams. l am informed that senator
Clark never saw the man and never, had
any communication with him oral or
written. The idea OF Senator Clark need

election is absurd. as Wyoming was prac-
tically solid for him. As for myself
