Watson and zumbrunn regarding the
Mayfield case
Robert w. Lyons, who was secretary
to Bossert, said there had been some
gossip in Washington to the effect
that if Senator Mayfield were seated,
Senator Watson would be assured of
the political support of those interested
in seeing that the Texas senator re-
tained his senate place in the contest
brought by his republican opponent.
Lyons told the committee he took the
matter up with Everett Sanders, then
a congressman from Indiana and now
secretary to President Coolidge, and
was told that any such statement was
ridiculous. He added that Sanders told
him the evidence had been presented
to the senate committee and that, ir-
respective of Senator Watsons views,
the senate would have to seat May
field because the evidence was all in
his favor
Senator Mayfield has issued a state
ment at Galveston characterizing as
"an absolute fabrication" statements
that Watson's influence was sought in
this contest.
