Senator. In other words Rich claims
he did not retain the entire salary al
lowed by the government for his posi-
ton, but gave to Senator Page a GER
tain portion of it. This, Senator. Page
terms "precious concoction.' -
The Monitor and many Orleans coun-
ty people believe in Rich because we
know him, and believe the Rich affidavit
IN the main. Judgments are not based up
ON the single statement contained in
the Rich affidavit. Another Orleans coun-
ty boy was formerly employed in
Washington by Page in a similar posi-
ton to that held by Rich. This young
man told not one but several of Orleans
county's leading men that he too
turned a portion of his salary to Sena-
tor Page.
But the Monitor is not dependent up.

The practice is not criminal En-

salary, although the Monitor under

is fixed by the United States, for worl
supposed to be done for the Unitec
