nothing yet for the notes, and will
not do so until finaf settlement is
had. When this settlement is had,
l will. pay, as l agreed to, 80 per
cent of whatever amount l recover.
retaining 20 per cent for my trouble
and expense.
II wish to add this, that every
one of these facts were and are
known to Mr.. Ponder, and in his at
tack upon me in this matter, he has
wdllfully suppressed q part of my
testimony. which would have shown
to his audience, II he had read 1t,
just the facts that have stated.
And so far as / know, my ownership
of these notes has never been ques-
toned by anyone. save Mr.. Ponder
himself, and IL my ownership is ever
questioned I am prepared to estab-
fish 1t beyond controversy.
Mr.. Ponder further stated in his
speech In Baton Rouge. or rather in

His appointment co0ld have bean
made for. no other purpose than to
assist in the: election Of Ex-Governor
Sanders And in this; same inter
view he declared that Within. the
next ten days I propose to speak At
Baton Rouge and ! propose to show
that the, present, Administrations. has
absolutely prostituted itself !.
He followed this up with. the. direct
attack upon the veracity Of the Gov
ernor, Mr.. Fuqpa, and myself. con-
tanned in. his. interview OF July IL.
This was Mr.. Ponder's second attack
upon me. z..-e -
This wanton assault ON Governor
Pleasant aroused such Indignation
throughout the District and State
that he Immediately abandoned. this
line of attack. for he spoke In Baton
Rouge within the ten days. and IN
stead Of showing the people at the
State, a. he had promised to 10. how
Governor Pleasant had absolutely
prostituted. his ADMINISTERS lion. and
instead Of showing how Mr.. Fuqua
was the least fitted. man that could
have been selected for this import
ant position he never mentioned Gov
ernor Pleasant's. name, he never
mentioned Mr.. Euqua's name and he
never mentioned. the Fuqua appoint
ment.

knew. and knows, that I had abso-

referring to the fact that Governor
Pleasant had stated that he did not
consult Mr.. Sanders about the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Fuqua, and referr-
Ing to the fact that both Mr.. FuQua
and Mr.. Sanders had substantiated
Governor Pleasant, Mr.. Ponder then
made this statement to the people
Of Louisiana:
".Now IL there is man In the
District who believes this portion
of their statement he really ought
to be interdicted and sent to- the
asylum
"This Mr.. Ponder, candidate for
the Democratic nomination for Con-
gress, publicly challenged the truth
and veracity Of statement made by
the newly elected and installed Dem
ocratic Governor of Louisiana.
'@FIis third attack upon me vas
contained in his speech delivered at
Baton Rouge, ON Monday. July "a.
1916, in which. without warrant and
without cause, he charged that I was
the instrumentality through which
the LaSalle Street Bank Of Chicago
was looted Of the sum Of nearly I'VE
hundred thousand dollars and other
assaults upon my character and
standing along similar lines.
II will discuss these three charges
in the order in which they were
made.
"In his speech at Hammond. as re-
ported in the Florida Parishes Of
June -, 1916, Mr.. Ponder said:
