' The So cialist leaders all Insist today that tuis Is the ' fact, and whlla the Alexander . leaders will not discuss the-matter so far as the alleged bargain is concernea. they freely admit that ' the pleas of guilty In the McNamara casea on tho '; eve of election, were alone responsible for the' landslide In their, favor. ; I Interest "centered today in the brib ery .charges and In the federal Inves tigation.
