say that they have in their posses
sion letters written by Mulhall, when
he was seeking to be restored to
his position as lobbyist, wherein he
named prominent Democrats in the
house and senate whom he claimed
to be able to influence.
Some of the very men who are
most active in prosecuting the Null
hall charges at the present time are
among those named by him as men
whom he could control. MuThalI
did not even stop at naming Demo-

who we're under his influence. He
went close to the white house in
describing his sources of power and
told in detail how he would hold
the new Democratic administration |
to his own ends If the National AS
ISOLATION of Manufacturers would
give him back his position.
These letters which have been
preserved by the association are
said to be even more sensational
han those Mulhall has made pub
