was very much surprised and
greatly shocked, to learn that these
people were actually trying to make
me pay 5000 more than 1 owed them
felt that they were simply trying to
impose on me and make nae pay them
something didn't owe them simply
because was candidate for office. It
was nothing more than hold-up
game, as saw it, and I merely refused
to permit them tozrob me of my money.
If / owed them what they claim !
do, would pay it without moments
hesitation, but / do not think that
could be made to pay them something
that do not owe because am cans
sdidate. Therefore, rather than be mn
posed upon IN this most IN afefal

that she suyeta Park people shall lose /

because I'm candidate for congress
shall not have a hold-up game
worked on me. regret to get into a
controversy at this time but rather
than be held UP, I'll fight the case to
