Denies Blanton Affidavit.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
In The. Herald Of November :
there was published a letter over
the signature OF "A Woman" in
which the writer made reference
to the language, the publication of
which in the Congressional Record
by Mr.. Blanton created such a scan
dal in Congress. The lady writing
seems actually to believe that said
language (Which she may never
have read. and which il is best she
should not) was really uttered in
the Government Printing once.
such, however, Is far from the fact
No such language was used. The
fact that 1t was quoted under oath
does not make IL true. Many and
many an affidavit has contained
false testimony and this is one of
them. So far. little or nothing has
been placed before the public but
the sensational side, and plain,
matter-of-fact truth is slumbering.
In justice to the Public Printer.
In justice to the employee. of the
Government Printing once, and in
justice to the public IL should be
known and understood that from
the very beginning OF the contro-
versy the Public Printer investi-
gated all the details and gave all
parties fair and just trial. and the
fact was thoroughly established that
no such language was uttered. Had
IL been so, the man guilty Of such
an offense would surely have been
dismissed for the good of the serv-
ice. But he is still at his post, his
innocence having been established,
while his accuser, from whose mind
and pen the Objectionable language
solely emanated. has left for part,
unknown.
In point of fact, even II such a
string of foul expressions had really
been uttered. IL would have been
absolutely impossible for any hear
CT to have remembered them as
articulated so as to write them
down later. The idea is ridiculous
But any man who had the foulness
in his brain could easily put them
together as he wrote of his inven-
ton.
For the benefit of The Herald
and in justice to the employe. of
the Government Printing once, /
want to say that the language con-
tanned in the scandalous sfidavit
was not used in the Government
Printing ONCE. and plenty of am
davits can be obtained from reput-
able men TO verify my statement.
