man that the manufacturers of this coun-
try were tired of pinhead politics and
pinhead politicians.
Loudenslager offered Apology.
when / was through Mr.. Loudenslager
offered an apology, claiming that he would
be good from this time on. but l plainly
gave him to understand that when he
came up for denomination he would hear
from our people"
Mulhali did not fully explain why he
had fallen out with Loudens -ager.
Schwedtman wrote MulhaI in October:
II do hope that when James S. Watson
(of Indiana) gets in the governors chair
he will lay half a dozen of his good
friends 90 over his knee and spank them
to beat the band, including your spec al
friend, Senator Beveridge I'd hate false
friends more than / do the worst enc
mics.
Mulhall said all his accounts were kept
by an expert. who accompanied him on
his trips evidently his wife.
She was driven crazy In the sixth New
Jersey campaign" said he. She kept
| ali my accounts. and she was the best
politician l ever knew"

tober 81, 1905 showed an item OF $500
paid to William NJ. Walsh Of the ex-
ecutive board of the Nine Workers
Union Of Pennsylvania for paying work

IT think we made a good friend of Sen
