Brady Issues Statement
On Talk With TLOmDson

In answer to the statement yester-
day by Senator George F. Thompson
that Nicholas F. Brady was one Of the
men interested in increased fare legis-
lation, Mr.. Brady issued the following
statement last night:
"In the latter part Of February, this
year, Richard H. Burke, whom l know,
informed me that Senator George F.
Thompson was anxious to have talk
with me. The interview was sought by
Senator Thompson, and, he being con-
spicuously prominent in public affairs,
! was glad to hear what he had to say.
Throughout the interview Mr.. Burke
was present.
During the interview Senator
Thompson outlined plans for the de-
velopment of water power in the state,
in which am naturally interested. He
ideas seemed nebulous to me, and l
asked him to put them in writing. The
conversation then turned to traction
matters. | pointed out to the Senator
that increased costs made a raise in
fares imperative, unless the roads were
to go into bankruptcy.
81 have not been asked to make, nor
have | made, directly or indirectly, any
contribution or promise of contribution
to any fund to elect Senator Thompson
Governor, or to promote legislation"
New-York tribune., 1919-04-12

pretty good judge of human nature
from what | can gather Now that is
all the conversation of any kind or
character that took place about the
goVernorshlp in my presence that I
can recall, and that is as true as that
you are standing on this floor"
Says He Sought Contracts
"Was there anything said at that
conversation in the Senator's room in
March Is about these traction bills
then pending in the Legislature ?"
A. There ccrtainy was.
@. What was it?
A. Why, Thompson said he wanted to
help, and | was very anxious to see it
through. I thought 1 could break in
some place myself.
Chairman Burlingame: Mr.. Burke,
what did you mean when you said you
thought you could "break in yourself"?
A. Why, am not legislative agent
| never advocated anything in the way
OF legislation in my life. l am looking
for living for my four children and
myself | thought that if was in any
way instrumental in convincing the
Senate or bringing about legislation Of
this kind some one might find me
a position or do something for me.
am frank to say-not for money, but
mean gcnerally-if you are looking to
come in contact with a man that is
going to be beneficial to you in life
you don't go looking for a scavenger,
you go looking for somebody that can
give you something, anything that can
be beneficial in a business way with
you. That is what l meant. | meant
in case this thing was brought about
| might be able in some way or other
to get contract. For instance, on the
