VINO DeiieNe IN the purify OF CuafNctefl
the upTightness and clean hands Of thu
republican Doodle ring Of this state, and
their candidate for United States senator
the Hon. John B. Allen is respectfully
commended TO the subjoined affidavits.
Briefly stated, Francis E. Madigan, re
publican candidate for representative in
Kittitas county, prior to the primaries
promised George Bradley, chairman Of
the Kittitas county committee, eve hun
dred dollars (SjOO) u he would secure
him the nomination as representative.
This was done, and Madigan not having
the requisite funds referred Bradley to
Allen, who in turn referred him 10 the
Hon. Fred Grant, prominent member
Of the last corrupt legislature, now editor
Of the Seattle Post ntelligsheeT, and who
is apparently stakeholder and mouth
piece for the senator. They gave him
800, and turned him over to Charley Sui
Ivan, chairman Of the republican state
COMMITTEES at Tacoma, who, after first in
forming Bradley that he would pay the
amount provided the county committee
Of Kittitas would o. X. the bill, which
was done, finally told friend Of Bradley
that be was not going TO pay any more,
and he, after having expanded his time
and working 90. hard, finally became
tired Of being flouted and turned the orig
inal letters, Of which the following are
sworn copies, over to the democratic state
committee at Tacoma. They are pub
lished thus early in the campaign to give
the senator and his friends every chance
to refule them Il they can.
