Davis, of Tennessee, member of the Committee, setting orth the fact that Mr. Grigsby had ‘nuull\ the bill and, by reason of his known opposition, had been refused a chance to speak on it the several candidates tear of a showed the ormy trip to They te ¥e had practically no rest a after the conference committee re- | port. He also declared in he was in New York, he had re- ceived a letter from Sutherland asking for a copy of the brief. He exhibited a copy of The Empire, dated June 17, 1920, containing the brief in question, and another issue of the same paper, dated October 1927, carrying Mr. Davis’ tele- am. Quotes Sutherland Statement Taking up Sutherland's challenge that no one could show any record wherein he had referred to Herbert Hoover as a grafter, Mr. Grigsby read extracts from a statement made by his opponent before the House Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries at a hearing held on in 1924. Turning to page 73 of the printed record, he read in connection with the much criticized “reservation” order of the Bureau of Fisheries, the following: i “Mr. Sutherland: consideration given that native population up there.

If Sutherland has the facts to back up these charges, Grigsby as- { serted, it his duty to his “adopted country” to produce those | facts and prevent such a man from occupying the presidency. “I do not believe he has them,” he -added. He scored the Delegate for his attaclks on members of the Alaska | Legislature who 'had differed with him on various occasions, and his accusations of bribery by a Gover. nor of a Territorial Senator. He asserted, Sutherland gave no man credit for having .an honest dif- ference in opinion, but that he questiened the, motives and hon- esty of those who would not agree with him. Not only has he at- tacked individual Alaskans, but he has attacked them by the whole. ob- ) t cou Al himse the ) change w than he, himse his bootstr hill was Iy was Y sai agent aid | the me Y0-1 dutie hod of H the | it up, with ‘fixin rsonally, he vinced id, con- had come when » without the aid ils, but the Con- the only means that end.
