Why would McCullough not publish the whole corrt'iKindence? If he stands as he says, “for bonest, cJ(‘an government.” whf does he not stand for "honest, clean” ()oIitics? “By their fruits ye shall know them.” flow is McCullough campaigning? The place to cam paign is on the stump. l>efore the people, as I have cour teously invited McCullough to do. The people want Mc- ('ullough to come out in the o|>en. and face the people, so they can ask him who is Ucking him, and who writes his “campaign literature” for him? Will McCullough show himself to the |Kq)ple, .<0 they can at least look at him? W'hy does he not go before the jvonle and tell them what he. the forty-one year oM "f^u'mer" McCullough has ever ‘done, what .sort of man he is. what .so intoxicated his brain as to make him l>elieve himself to he fit or worthy to represent, the goo<l and givat iK*ople of this District in Congress?
