There is being given circulation i throughout the state to a pamphlet 1 purporting to come from one H. F. < Scaife, of Washington, D. C., mak- < ing an attack upon my record In i the United States Senare. The < burden of the publication ts that I have neglected my duties as Senator by not attending to some of the roll-calls. I have challenged comparison of my record in this respect during the campaign and since the issu- i ance of this circular with the average of those Senators who stand high in the Senate and in tnelr respective parties. The challenge was not accepted and for the infermation of my "friends throughout \the Stete T wrote to the Hon. Charles M. Galloway, former Civil Service 1 Commissioner and now practicing ! attorney in Washington, requesting that he compile from the Congressional Record the record in i respect to roll-calls of the follow- 1 ing Senators: ' i Senator Hitchcock, Democrat, 1 chairman of the Foreign Relations i Committee when the Democrats 1 were in control of the Senate, and Democratic leader in the Senate f during the treaty fight. s Senator Owen, Democrat Chair- s man of the Banking and Currency 1 Committee under Democratic conSmith.

One report was to tiiej ffect that the two men differed over, tolitics and were discussing tne mat-1 g ' er. Hughes is attributed with makng some remark and Asiiley made ome more. One of the men is said to lave offered to bet $100 on his fav-' rite, and the other replied: "I haven't got a hundred dollars to iet, but I'll bet what I have and my noney is clean money. I worked for t, and didn't make it selling whisky." ( r The shooting is said to have followd this immediately. ( Another report states that Hughes vas fired on by Ashley :ast week vhen he was near the Ashley home, .nd that when the two men met to-j lay, the altercation, which ended, a the -shooting, was commenced. !
