Hon. H. D. Money Defends Record Against Rail Rivalry Charges
A Washington interview with H. D. Money of Mississippi presents his denial of charges linked to Huntington's railway deals. Money recounts his four terms in Congress, his Post Office Committee work, and the $50,000,000 government aid to Huntington projects. He asserts no vote or action benefited Huntington personally and describes the loan story as a business matter never influencing his legislative record. The Washington editor notes for context that the cited paragraphs originated in a Southern paper and were not intended to indict Money.
