Townsend. told meand I will be pardoned for mentioning his name. because I have no doubt he would be quite willing I should use it" Mr. Cannon. there is nothing whatever in this charge about your not being a citizen. I went to the bottom of that case myself in the Fortyfourth Congress. and if you are not a naturalized citizen I do not know where to look for one." But at this session my case was referred. and fourteen of a committee composed of fifteen members of the House have decided I was properly elected. Of that there can be no question. for the governor himself in my presence gave to the Clerk of this House last winter his decision upon the election. and in response to my question. in the presence of the then Clerk of the House. "Governor. do you admit that this is your official action ?" he replied that it was. In that decision lie stated (and it is his duty under the law to declare the result of the election) that Ihad received 18.568 votes and my competitor 1.357.
