 "The opportunity is afforded to warn the people that man having such con captions of the judiciary as will per init him to make such an attack ought never to be permitted to name men for the bench, as it is said Hearst con templated doing under the Murphy Hearst deal"
 Referring to his appearance in the Mcclellan Hearst mayoralty cantest he says
 Neither I nor any member of my firm was employed by any corporation or paid by any corporation, directly or indirectly, one dollar for the services we rendered in that contest. We were retained by Mayor Mcclellan, but de. elined to receive from him or from any one else any compensati whatever for services '
