Charge Against Lewelling Brought to
Light by Senator BatteY.

Senator R. T. Battey of Florence, who
wants to be nominated for state treas
urer by the Republicans, has COM
menced his campaign by issuing a IMAM
ifestO cOndemning the PopuHsts, charg-
ing members of the legislature as well
as the administration with all sorts of
corruption. He also nominates General
J. @. Caldwell for United States SEN
ator. Battey first attacks Bank Com
missioner Breidenthars new law and
says:
THE banking law passed last winter
is absolutely worthless. 1t takes the
control of a banks business out of the
bankers hands and places it under the
control of the bank commissioner, who
dictates absolutely the policy of the
bank. It means, by the restriction of
loans, the driving out of business of
all bankers in small towns and the
Capitalization of banking into a few
of the larger towns of the state.
The past legislature will go down in
history as the most corrupt body of
lawmakers ever assembled in the
state
was up before the house a direct prop
osition was made to the Wichita steer
ing committee to pass the bill in con-
sideration of the sum of $4,000, but the
Wichita men in charge of the bill re-
pudiated the offer.
"A gentleman in a position to know
told me that at least One-third of the
PopuIiSt members of the house received
from s25 to $50 for their votes on the
Oleomargarine bill. There were a num-
Der Of PopuIist legislators who believed
in doing business in the legislature with
their left hands behind their backs.
''LeWelling is practically dead in
Sedgwick county. Had he succeeded in
passing the Wichita normal bill through
the house he could have had anything
in the gift of the people of that county.
The Populist party about every 50
often demands a sacrifice to appease
its rapacity, and Lewelling is marked
as the victim. I believe that in a very
short time he will be removed from the
state railroad commission. He will, I
believe, make no defense against the
many charges brought against him
'Lewelling is a very shrewd politi-
clan, but occasionally makes frightful
mistakes. Ex-Governor Frank jack
son of Iowa, in speaking of Lewelling,
says: 'LeWelling was candidate
against me for the nomipation of treas
votes. He is a man who trumps his
partners ace
I believe the railroad question is set
tied for the time being. It will be
are able to hold up the corporations.
There will be no extra session called.
1t is easier to control one man than
an entire legislature. The railroads
were bled last winter, it being simply
a case of life or death with them"
Senator Battey expresses a desire in
his manifesto TO see General J. G. Cald-
we'll United States senator, if the Re
publicans shall have the choice of one,
but said he never expected to see that
happen, as Caldwell was not a politi-
clan; did not stand in with the lead
ers and, therefore, stood little chance
of that or any office
Battey says Leland does not want the
pension office and that George Find
lay will be appointed internal revenue
collector

that it is some temporary disorder of

So the drug Coffee is swallowed each
