office building and 1t is claimed that he regarded me as his political friend and expected my vote.
 Under the facts and circumstances above related, I began to wonder whether MT. Long was playing me for an easy victim or whether he had de- cided that he did not need my vote I then felt. so far as he was concerned, that was under no obligations to vote for him. I did, however. hate very much not to vote with the majority of the Jefferson delegation for the req son that they and myself were indorsed at certain meeting in Birming gh am and became known and identified as "a slate" which MT. Walker Percy at lacked very vigorously
 A vicious lie Is now being circulated that attended Long conferences and gave MT. Long to believe to She last moment that was going to vote for him. To this I will state that I never attended Long or Almon conference. and the only friend of Nfr Long with whom had any conversation. and who spoke to me in his behalf. for several months prior to the caucus was Governor Grey..- who came to my room at the Gay-Teague hotel on inc avenue before the caucus and again on the day of the caucus a few hours before 1t convened Governor Grey told me that Mir. Long expected my vote ana intended to make me chairman of tbe ways and means committee. I told Gov ernor Grey to go back and tell Mir. Long that 1t was too late and for him to use that position to trade for some other vote.
 was under no obligation to MT. Long. and it became a qiiestion with me as to what was best for the state and good government--which faction should control the house. My con science and best judgment dictated that should vote for Almcn.
 I might give other reasons to show why I was not under any obligation to vote for Long, but I hope that this will be sufficient to prove that I was not guilty of any dishonorable act or that treated MT. Long unfairly. He must blame himself for having ignored me as he did. Yours truly.
