The contention will usually arise from the unfortunate or unsuccessful bidder that he has been cheated or swindled. or something of that sort. We have that sort of thing coming up every day. and therefore that is to be expected. The point here that makes this possibly an exception to that is the eminent respectability of the firm of Hudgins & Dumas. who claim that this contract was given out by favoritisma firm who have had the concession to feed the Immigrants on Ellis Island. and who. I am informed. are perfectly reliable men. I presume that if the committee see fit to investigate and find out whether there was any underhanded or dirty work in the letting of this contract to Markel they can find plenty of witnesses to go to the very bottom of it.
