gress would not adjourn in time
for me to return to the District,
before the primary election, my
opponent himself, knowing | was

for the rights of the people, and
no doubt feeling safe to make any
statement he thought would ad-
vance his interest, connived at and
approved a statement made by
his Campaign Manager that

Fortunately, before the day Of
the primary, in so far as my pri.
vate interest is concerned, the
Congress was adjourned over the
objections of myself and other
good Democrats, by the Republi
can majority, because we thought
no adjournment should be had
