Folks Would Like to Know
Where He Was During
113 Absent Days.

That your sins will find you out"
was never most forcibly demonstrated
than in the case of James Davenport,
candidate for congress,
who since he entered the campaign
has found his skeletons continually
slipping out of closets round about.
Records of the SiXty-third congress
show that Congressman James 5.
Davenport answered 1853 roll calls and
was absent 1l3 out of a total of 2ii.
Below is printed letter which was
blished in the Row lOkla.) Anchor,
"a Democrat newspaper on Friday.
September 29, 1916, and which has
never been explained by Mr.. DaVcn-
port 1t may throw some light on
where Mr.. Davenport was during i
part of those l13 absent days.
What About 1t?
Can you conscientiously vote for
such a man for United States con

My Dear Sirs and Friends Your
case will come up for trial the early
part of March in the federal court at
Vinita, and | think 1t would be well
If you would keep in touch with the
man who was with you in the auto
mobile, as he might admit having
the whisky and admit that you Two
had nothing to do with 1t.
OF course you will understand that
you cannot use this fellows affidavit,
and if we should undertake to take
depositions in another state the gov
ernment would no doubt get out a
writ of removal and arrest him and
bring him back which would spoil
his testimony, and he would possibly
swear that you knew as much about
the transaction as he did.
We have got to show in some way
that you boys knew nothing about
this whisky, or they are going to give
us close call, and If convicted the
court is liable to impose a good hard
sentence. SO we will have to fight.
| will be at home IN time for the
trial. and will go over the matter
carefully with you.
will advise you as soon as the
date is fixed for trial. Very truly
yours, (Signed) Jas. S. Davenport
