the Senate Chamber by Senator David J.
Lewis of Allegheny County, and while
sitting upon a lounge watching the pro-
dure of the Senate, | was Joined by Mr..
Mudd, who did not know me or my miss
ion, and as the different Senators would
pass us going to their seats. Mr.. Mudd
would stop them an tell them to be sure
to kill the photographers eight bill,
and after be had stopped we'll known
Senator. who was also known to myself,
and asked him to make sure and kill the
measure, I addressed the Senator and said
Senator, if you do kill the bill you will
kill meritorious and just measure" The
bill was killed, and Mr.. Mudd's siren
Gus lobbying against the measure was
paatly, if not wholly, responsible for its
death In the Legislature OF 1916, this
bill was reintroduced by Mr. Walter
McComas of Hartford County, and its
passage is still fresh upon the public
minds, and again Mr.. Mudd came to
Annapolis and lobbyed against the law,
but he was unsuccessful.
AS citizen of Marylan |, would like
to know what interest Mr.. N udd hal in
leaving his Congressional duties at
Washin gton, and 60 to Annapolis to lob
by and for the defeat of this meritor ious
laboring mans bill. Was is because Mr..
Mudd was paid lobbyist of the corpor-
atioi.s to do this kind of work, or was it
through hatred and prejudice against the
laboring in man. If he is paid lob
byist of the corporations, it would be
we'll for the public to know of it, or if he
is an euemy to the laboring man through
prejudice or otherwise, they should know
it. 1t is reasonable to suppose that MIR.
Nudd worked to defeat the bills in the
interest and request of someone. People
do not generally work for their health,
and we take it for granted that Mr.. Mudd
did not work at Annapolis for his health.
Now what what we would like to know
is, who paid MIR. Mudd to ask Senators at
Annapolis to kill the bill. We have
right to know, because United States
House Of Representatives was in session
at the time, and Mr.. Mudd was receiving
his salary for that, but instead he boldly
lett there and used the il fuence of that
office against the Telegraphers; poorly
paid class of railroad employees, although
holding responsible position. Would Mr..
Mudd have done this if the Telegraphers
had been a class of men like himself, re
celving IS, 900. per year. Would he then
have used his genius to weave webs to
to catch forty five or fifty dollar men
month men in order to cause them fur
Their injury. Mr.. Mudd can no longer
deceive US in shrewd and vague state
ments, he has used his intellect against
US, and we brand him now as a lob
BY list of the corporations, therefore, it is
the duty of all honest men of all parties
to vote against him. We are asking this
because he worked secretly, as ne
thought, to de labor a mean and despica-
BILE act, and we must look upon him as IN
enemy. We will not further countenance
his greed, ambition and deceit, and we
propose in the future to forget prejudices
and parties, and work and vote against
such men whenever found.
Yours Fraternally,
F. F. SULLIVAN,
