Attack on Finn.

William Finn of this unsavory com
bination. which until recently Mr.. Roose-
Welt would have been quick to denounce
and repudate. has made a fortune out of
crooked municipal contracts and the cor
rupt control of municipal councils and
state legisla tures. +. A. Van ValkenbuTS,
editor of the North American, in Phlia-
delphia, was arrested and indicted Tor
bribery in my first senatorial contest IN
1885, and only escaped conviction through
the leniency of Senator Quay and upon
the payment Of about $1,000 Tor costs
for lawyers, detectives and for other eX-
penses of prosecutions, which amount
was paid by his attorney the day before
the trial was set to take place.
Upon the death of Senator Quay in
1904 Mr. Finn became a candidate to
succeed him in the United States Senate.
In Philadelphia. during a discussion OF
tt SuccessOrship to Senator Quay. Mr..
Finn offered to Israel W. Durham.
republican leader in Philadelphia, and to
me. S1,uM.CGa or even s. OG0,G 600. to favor
his ambition and the offer was known
to others at the time The offer was de
clined. and we refused to support his
candidacy.
The Governor of Pennsy lvania. Samuel
W. Pennypacker. desiring to uphold the
honor and dignity of the state, appointed
Mr.. Knox was subsequently elected by
the legislature for the full term. Mr..
Finn still desires to go to the United
States Senate. His friends openly avow
his ambition. and his activity for Mr..
Roosevelt and the reforms to which ne
has recently become convert are
prompted by this desire.
