adopted the extraordinary course of
forcing a banking institution under due
legal protest to produce the hank ac-
count OF an individual who is under no
indictment and under no charge, with

investigation by your committee?
Moreover. why have you introduced
evidence as to the Governors private
disbursements before his election for
other than election purposes?

proof. so far as produced. with the
campaign expenses of the Governor
But why did you insist. and why were
YOU permitted to introduce ii without
FIRST laying the proper foundations

has refused TO do the bidding Of an or
