NEW YORK, October 2.-The Times
Washington special says: Over two months
ago charges were preferred against John
G. Gosper, Secretary Of Arizona Territory,
by G. W. Beach, editor of the Prescott
Miner. These charges were filed in the
Interior Department, but all efforts to pro-
cure a copy Of them have failed. The ma
ture Of the charges, however, is known.
Gosper, as Secretary Of the Territory, pur-
chased all the supplies. In m instance
he sent a voucher to the Interior Depart
ment for $1,000, and was paid that sum.
Beach wrote to the Department and OBJ
tanned q copy of the voucher. he then
sent to the man from whom the goods
were purchased, and procured q certified
copy Of the receipted bill furnished Cos
per. The original was for $3.50, while the
| voucher for it was for 81, 100. The bill
had therefore been raised $3.50. A num-
Der OF other charges Of a similar character
were filed with this. but the Department
has neither suspended Gosper nor ordered
an investigation Of the charges, as far as
known.
$780,"
New York, October Within the past
day or two the Democrats have adopted a
silly, and probably self-damaging campaign
device, and that is the marking upon all
possible places the figures 1929. Dispatches
from Maine and other distant points show
that the absurdity has already reached
those places, which leads to the belief that
the idea was first conceived here and tele-
graphed in all directions from the New
York Democratic headquarters. White
chalk is generally used for dark surfaces
and black paint tor white ones. and the
stores, houses, fences, etc, of Republicans
are particularly singled out for such cabal-
istic embellishments. The Democrats,
through their journals, are laughing over
the popularity of their electioneering
scheme, and the Republicans, with the ex-
ception of those who nave had their front
doors besmeared with black paint or some
thing more offensive, are rather inclined to
let taem have their merriment out.
