As the list of names is printed elsewhere, it is not necessary to particularize further; but I note one thing with special interest.
The Massachusetts Congressman who was selected by the enemies of W. R. Hearst to attack him on the floor of the House gave the country a chance to learn who was the cleaner, better man.
Hearst did not vote for the steal; Sullivan, of Massachusetts, did!
The people of Georgia may wish to know where Congressman Bartlett was when the vote was being taken. His name is not recorded against the steal. Nor is that of Brantley or that of Adamson.
Where were they?
These three gentlemen are paid $15,000 per year to stay in their places and safeguard the rights of the people who elected them.
Where were these three Georgians when this piece of rascality was being put through the House? If they were necessarily absent why did they not arrange “pairs,” and thus give their votes to defeat the robbers? Did they DODGE?
If so, Why?
Alabama will want to know where Bankhead and Wiley were; Texas will ask explanations of Stephens; Tennessee of Sims; Kentucky of Hopkins and Stanley.
