Madison Democrat: James E. An
derson has earned the belt for being
the most consummate liar unhung.
He gloats over falsehood with sin
ster sneer that would make an imp of
darkness leap for joy. While his testi-
mony is not worth a moments consid-
Grafton in itself it goes to prove that
such a eraceless william would dishoner
everything with which be had to do.
The conclusion is irresistible that he
would never allow the returns of
parish to pass through his hands with
cut tampering with them. He really
needed no incentive to be mean, bat
having one would only be the meaner.
Stanley Matthews admits that he Of
fered the fellow place but that he
did SO without knowledge of frauds-
Mr.. Sherman had offered him remun-
Grafton for services prior to this. Set
ting aside, for the time, all questions
of Sherman's 8 and Matthews honesty,
it is evident that Anderson was On
the sell and that be marketed his
fraud at the best bargain. It was
after he had conveyed his article to
the purchasers and failed to receive
his price that he squealed. He has
already lied himself into the peniten-
tiary for life if justice is done HIM
No wonder Sherman and Matthews
disown their protege and politiea
ward. @ 5
Chicago Tribune: The average
Democratic Treasurer is not always a
success, at least not in Wisconsin.
Not long ago, the Treasurer Of Demo-
cratic Washington County, which
claimed the banner on account of ita
big vote, was found. to be defaulter
to the tune of $4,000. Next high
est on the list of big Democratic ma
jorities is Dodge County, and Wednes-
day the County Board of Supervisors
removed the Treasurer because he was
found to be defaulter to the amount
of $4,000. AS Dodge County gives
a greater Democratic vote than Wash
ington, the Democratic Treasurer felt
in duty bound to increase the amount
of the deficit in ratio corresponding
with the majority. The account with
defaulting County Treasurers in tina
three strongest Democratic counties in
Wisconsln-viz: Milwaukee, Dodge
and Washington-now stands as fol-
lows: .ay, .a s-~
Ehelers, Mllwankee........,.... 4 .Ooe
Semer, Washington...................$15 600
Traynor Dodge $50 900
The returns from the back countiez
are not yet all in, but they will no
doubt do as we'll as the others accord
ing to their population. gsa
