Offered Him by Rosen1gald to Quit Race

pendent Republican, could have a
clear field.
He said that on Oct. 8, 1926 (after
he had been nominated by the Re-
publican party and stories had been
published concerning the insult
contributions, Rosenwald made him
the offer in the Congress hotel in
Chicago.
Smith quoted Rosenwald as say
ing to him on that occasion:
after the meeting the other day,
went to an inner room to take
a siesta, upon orders from my doc
tor. While lying there thinking, ]
had a brainstorm. I thought to
myself, If 7 will give 100000 to
have Magill elected, why not give
Frank Smith 100000 and have him
withdrawn
$50 I acted.
"No one knows what I am about
to say to you except my wife, whose
consent I had to get before could
make the offer, and no one else
will know from me.
IF you will withdraw from the
senatorial race, am here to offer
you 10000 shares Of Sears Roebuck
stock the moment you sign your
withdrawal notice. In a few months
that stock will be worth three
quarters of a million dollars
(Smith states at another point that
the stock actually was worth
100000 two years later.)
In the 1926 election Rosenwald,
according to Smiths letter, spon-
sored Nagill's candidacy. Smith was
elected. The James A. Reed sena-
torial committee investigated the
campaign, with the result that
Smith twice walked into the United
States senate seeking recognition
