ABOUT BEING BOUGHE

ssssG5 A0SIO1'& 0A1NO 6OUG1dz.
The Mills Craft element are contin-
ually charging the ADVANCE with be-
ing "bought. They do this privately
everywhere and in the campaign sheets
which they issue. Now let US say y
word about being 'bought."
The only man in tins campaign who
offered to buy US was DR.. J. Craft,
their candidate for Supt. of Schools
About the time that Craft made his
announcement that he was a candidate,
lie came into our Office one day Just
after dinner and offered us one hundred
dollars in cash # ace scould support him
for Superintendent Of Schools. We of
course declined. lie, then, with Mills
aud several Others bought the use of a
press and type owned by Peter Thomp.
son. The printer who had this type in
hand offered to sell its use to the
straights and said to Fred Bloom that
1T the stralghts wanted its use they
must come down with the money!
The straights did not want it and he
sold the use Of it to Craft and Mills.
This is the only buying and selling of
newspapers We know of in this cam.
paign. Craft is the only man who
offered to buy us and we are not now
and never have been in the market.
The ADVANCE never has and never
will sell its influence for money. We
have supported men and measures al
ways, and taken only such income as
came legitimately from subscriptions,
advertising and job work.
The printer who is doing the work
for Mills and Craft is pauper from
Iowa and must have pay for his work.
He is in no sense a legitimate news
paper man and has no influence to sell.
lie sells only his mechanical work.
