Mr. Johnson. About getting rid of the gang in Washington.
Mr. Hubert. Did he say to you that he had gone down there to remonstrate with the editor for taking such an ad?
Mr. Johnson. Yes, sir; he talked about it, and we didn’t listen.
Mr. Hubert. Why would he be fussing, as it were, with the newspaper for taking the ad, if he agreed with it?
Mr. Johnson. I don’t have any idea. I don’t know.
