Cites Facts to Show FaIsity Of
Charges Made by Politi-
cal Opponents
COMPARES PRINTING BILLS

as Charged by Complain
ants in 1923

Assertion that persons who have
attempted to defame his record as a
member Of the state printing COM
mission have displayed both Colossal
nerve and stupidity" was made by G.
w. Mcdonnell In a radio address FRI
day night.
Mcdonnell is seeking denomination
as the Republican candidate for state
railroad commissioner. AS chairman
Of the railroad board he Is an ex-
officio member Of the printing COM
mission.
The stupidity" Of the Independent
Voters association and others who are
circulating false charges against him,
Is apparent, Mcdonnell said, from the
fact that they chose q bill passed
while he was not q member Of the
printing commission with which to
make an attempt to prove their case
against him.
He asked the voters to Judge the
accuracy Of other statements made
by the accuracy Of that one.
Defending the accuracy Of the bill,
however, Mcdonnell pointed to an
other for the same work, paid by the
state printing commission to The
Knight Printing company, Fargo. IN
1928, in which approximately the
same prices were paid for state print

1928 and 1928. Mcdonnell showed
that the average cost In 1928
was 53A cents per book and IN
1928 81 cents per book The
slight difference, he said was
due to the fact that 5000 copies were
printed in 1923 and only Also in 1928
Some Of the items Of cost, he said
were the same, regardless Of the num-
