"We hold oriei thousand dollars de-
posited with copy of letter dated July-
two, addressed to I-Ionorable * Scott
Ferris, signed by Thomas F. Chase, with
instructions to pay said sum t<$ any dis-
abled soldier or charitable institution
within the state when Ferris denies un-
der oath charges made by Chase set
forth in letter. No demand or sworn
denial has been filed with us."
"American National Bank."
If the charges Chase has made are not true
why doesn't Ferris deny them? Speaking of duck-
ing, dodging and side-stepping, Ferris did NOT
attempt in any degree at all to deny the charges
contained in the Chase letter. Thi people who
heard him will remember clearly that he did NOT
deny those charges. When he was asked about
the salary grab of $5,255.14, he did not deny
, that either, but asked if the people of Oklahoma
wanted their congressman to get less than any
other congressman. No citizen of Oklahoma
wants or expects a congressman from this state to
get less than any other congressman IF HE
EARNS IT. The point made in the charge by
Mr. Chase is that the money referred to was takei>
by Ferris and he did not earn it. Ferris didn't
deny it.
