any COAiuo1OA1 USIWSSn Mr. h1Sley
and myself is pure unadulterated
moonshine, and is put out to dis
credit Mr.. Risley with Gov. Erick-
son, and the state administration
officers who may be prejudiced a.
;. gainst me. The idea is to discredit
Mr.. Risley and secure his dismiss
al if possible, by persuading his
superiors that he is a friend of
mine.
|" Mr.. Risley may play golf. / do
not know. If he does that is not a
crime that l have heard of. l know
nothing about Mr.. Risley's qualifi-
cations, no ribs peculiarities as
have never meet him. In fact new
er heard his name until l saw it
on the report. He may be drug
lgist and bald headed, if that is
relevant in any way. l don't know.
If, however, l had had any influ-
ence with Mr.. Risley, l should
have secured the report as soon as
it was out, for it would have been
very useful in the campaign. If
had any idea that the report was
out for sure, would have wired
for it. AS matter of fact l thot
that the report wa sbeing held up
by the public examiner for the
benefit of the Sheridan county re-
publican machine. The ridiculous
ness of these insinuations should

and this thing alone is sufficient
to discredit every word in the
Wave article, which is a tissue Of
