Positive Proof That Wall Did Not Drag
Gums Wife's Name Into the Campaign
Continued Dasao

atives of Congressman who did
any work whatever and has in
cluded only the dummies which
this paper charges includes Mr..
Quin. We quote the Staff Cor
respondents own words:-
THE BENEFIT OF THE
DOUBT has been given to
many members whose wives
or other members Of their =
families render real service
for the salaries paid"
A copy Of this paper was vol
unfairly sent to Mr.. Wall and all
that Mr.. Wall did was to hand
the paper to Mr.. Quin at Allen,
Miss, and ask him to answer
this charge made by this paper
NOT by Mr.. Wall-and when
he did, Mr. Quin got mad and has
been mad ever since and instead
of answering the charge, he and
his shrewd lawyer have spent
most of their time abusing Mr..
Wall. The first answer they un-
dertook to make was a TRADE a.
gainst Mr.. Wall, accusing him of
dragging Mrs. Quin into the COM
paign and placing in great box
car letters the words, SHANE /!
SHAMEi SHAME" That was
their answer to the charge that
was made. They also stated
that the paper which made this
charge was a Republican, negro
loving paper; whereas, it is a
Democratic paper and was the
mouthpiece of the Wilson ad-
ministration, and was followed
by Mr.. Quin for 8 years, who
raised no objection to its being
negro-loving or South-hating,
but since it has exposed him, he
is very anxious not to follow it
any longer. 1t is quoted almost
every week in 'sThe Literary Di-
gest" as authority giving the
Democratic side of political ques-
tions in the United States. They
also got an affidavit from Mr..
Lee Stamps, former secretary to
Mr.. Quin, in which he uses the
following language
Among such clerks so en-
ployed by Mr.. Quin during
part of the time l was his
secretary was his wife, Mrs.
Aylette B. Quin, who served
as Assistant Clerk IN THE
OFFICE and received as
compensation for such SER
vice $1440."
The affidavit was intended to
prove that Mrs. Quin worked IN
THE OFFICE. That was what
they tried to make you believe
from this affidavit but when we
presented positive proof from
three disinterested witnesses,
one of whom was a brother-in-
law of Mr.. GUMS former secre-
tary, Stamps, that Mrs. Quin
rarely ever even visited the of.
fee and did ABSOLUTELY
NONE OF THE WORK there,
then Mr.. Quin and his shrewd
lawyer come back with a state
ment branding these three men
as the biggest liars in the Uni
ted States but at the same time
ADMIT THAT THEY WERE
TELLING THE TRUTH by
shifting their own position and
saying that Mrs. Quin did not
work AT THE OFFICE but that
she worked AT THE HOUSE,!
Now the question presents it's
elf to a fair-minded person;
which statement of Mr.. Quin's
do you believe? WHY has he
changed his position Why did
he not say in the joint debate
with Mr.. Wall at Allen that his
wife worked AT THE HOUSE? /?
And why is it that the first
statement made by him and his
shrewd lawyer, instead of a.
busing Mr.. Wall and saying that
his wife worked IN THE Of
FICE, did not say that her work.
was done AT THE HOUSE,?
The FIRST story they told was
that she worked IN THE OF
FICE but when we shove them
off Of that with the positive
proof, then they shift their po-
sition and say she worked AT
THE HOUSE!
Mr.. Quin and his shrewd law
yer further try to becloud the
issue by stating that "The Ev-
