this city, and brought the indict
ment of Congressman Wurzbach
This was done maliciously for the
purpose of besmirching the good
name and character cf Mr. Wurz
bach. and to attempt to discredit
him.”
Th<= indictment was recently dis
missed.
John N. Baker of Houston wrote
he thought Judge P. A. Dowlen
chairman of the Beaumont. Texas
democratic committee, would "tes
tify that he and other Ku Klux
democrats made up a fund of $20,
000 in Beaumont and Jefferson
county and gave it to R. B. Creager
to put Dr. George C. Butte on the
republican ticket as a candidate for
governor.” Eaker also said C. L
Rutt told ‘‘friends of mine he
promised Creager $2,000 and paid
him $1,600 claiming $400 credit for
expenses as delegate to the nation
al convention” in return for ap
pointment as postmaster at Beau
mont.
Letters Commending Creager

were from the following, who. ac

Many letters criticising Creager's
organization also were put into the
record.
Reads Telegram
Brookhart read a telegram he
said he received from Creager in
which the Texas committeeman
said;
“You are quoted in press reports
as stating that I, in advance of the
event, testified before your com
mittee that Congressman Wurzbach
would be indicted for receiving
political contributions from federal
office holders in violation of the
law and further that I caused the
indictment to be brought in order
to stifle the committee’s investiga
tion. If you made such state
ments you deliberately falsified.”
Brookhart then read testimony
from the record of the previous
hearings in which Orville Eulling
ton. of Texas, and Creager. were
quoted as relating evidence of con
tributions Wurzbach had received
which, they said, were in violation
of the law.
“If I were dealing with an ordi
nary man,” Brookhart said, “I
would not hold him strictly to the
accuracy of his statements, but
Creager sets himself up as a Mus
solini. He was the most insolent
witness who ever appeared before
a congressional committee, and i
have listened to Robert W. Stew
art.
Dishonesty Charged
“Creager is intellectually dis
honest. He never would have
charged Wurzbach with these vio
lations if he had been intellectually
honest, because the evidence shows
that Wurzbach made a fair and
honest return of the items on
which Creager bases his charge.
Wurzbach was not. In fact, guilty
of any of these charges. An in
tellectually honest man would have
said there was no moral turpitude.
Creager made, the charge in an un
i truthful and dishonest style.
“Creager showed he knew Wurz
bach was indicted although at the
| time the indictment was not public.
; He had the indictment promul
gated through a district attorney
whom he appointed and controls,
doing exactly what, former Attorney
General Daugherty did with Sen
ator Wheeler.
"The charges laid before this
committee indicate Creager has de
moralized his organization in Texas.
The immoral purpose in collecting
these contributions is unexplained.
He thought he controlled the fed
eral court, but I am happy to say
that the indictment against Wurz
bach was dismissed.'’
Introduces Letters
Turning to a discussion of the
contributions received by Creager's
organization, most of which were
made, the records show, on a
promissory note basis, Brookhart
said that "it seems that the big
ger the note, the longer and more
eloquent the letter."
He had just introduced a file of
j letters, most of them commending
Creager. A large part of them
came from contributors, and some
of them from individuals who, ac
cording to the records in posses
sion of the committee, had not paid
all of the amounts the notes called
for. Other letters were critical of
Creager's methods.
“No propaganda." Brockhart said,
"was sent out to get these critical
letters."
