Colonel Harley’s friends immediately came to his defense, but in our opinion his record in the House is hi 8 best defense. No man can truthfully assert that Emile Harley aerved two masters during his incum bency of the office—he worked first, last and all the time for the best in terests of the people who elected him and of the State at large.
