In this connection the following letters
are pertinent as showing the estimate placed
upon Mr.. Baright by the members OF the
order of the World, and to show why he is
not worrying over the assertion of the
World Herald that at may be set down as
certainty that Barights candidacy for the
clerkship of the courts will not be materially
advanced by any member Of the World Mutt
ual Benefit association"
OMAHA, Neb., Feb. II, 1891 have
known Mr.. l, G.. Baright for the last ten
years, in fact during all of the time he was
connected with the order of the World and
World Mutual Benefit association. 1 was
charter member of Omaha lodge No 200
and president of that lodge for more than
three years. Mr. Baright was employed as
local agent of that association and abso-
lutely had nothing whatever to do with the
management of either OF the associations
nor was he in any way responsible for the
trouble into which 1t was eventually drawn
by those who had one of the finest institu-
tions for mankind that has ever been offered
TO the public If 1t had been properly man
aged / am free to say that If Mr.. Baright
mad been given the entire management OF
same it would be in the lead of all institu-
tions OF its kind AS agent for the World
Mutual Benefit association he handled large
| sums of money every month and l person.
ally know that every cent was religiously
accounted for to it's members. Have had
business relations amounting to quite large
sums with Mr. Baright covering a number
| OF years and would beg to say that by bus
| mess men here he is considered absolutely
gilt-edged. His word is good wherever he
| goes and we could have customer in our
business that we appreciate more than We
do Mr.. Baright. | can recommend him as
| an honest and trustworthy man in every
| respect and l would be pleased to answer
any inquiries regarding him or his brother.

| OMAHA, Neb., Feb. Ito Whom 1t May
| Concern: l am well acquainted with Irving
| G. Baright and have known him for eight
! or nine years. l was a member of the Order
| OF the World long before Mr.. Baright knew
| there was such an organization. He was
the local agent for six years and handled
thousands OF dollars in said position, but
had absolutely nothing to do with the
management Of said association and 1 never
| heard or knew of his being short one cent
in his accounts. l was treasurer Of Oak
lodge for number of years and was in
position to know whereof speak I be-
| lieve Mr. Baright to be straight, square
business man and don't believe his honesty
| has ever been questioned.

| LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 10, 1S99.-It gives
| me great pleasure to state some facts in
connection with Mr.. I. G. Baright, at pres
| ent treasurer of the Midland Life associa-
| ton or Omaha, and candidate for the office of
clerk Of the district court of Douglas county,
| as nave known him for the past seven
years, part of the time as local agent of
the Order of the World and World Mutual
| Benefit association, in which capacity he
represented the orders above named; hav-
Ing nothing whatever to do with the man
agement, that being under the direct super
| vision of the home office, which was in the
east; having no power to make an agree
ment of any kind without consultation with
said home Office, in fact having no voice
| whatever in the management thereof, he has
by his manly, straightforward, honest busi-
ness principles gained full confidence of all
who know him, especially so with those who
were carrying insurance in the orders
named, knowing full well that he was in no
way responsible for their ceasing to do busi-
ness, as was evident by nearly the entire
organization going over to the Midland
having confidence their interests would be
safe in his hands, which certainly would not
have been the case had they felt he was in
any way responsible for the downfall of the
w. NJ. B. A.
Knowing all this personally 1t gives me
great pleasure in stating the facts and en-
dorsng Mr.. Baright for the Office for which
he has been named to those who are not
fortunate in having a personal acquaintance
with him. To others it is superfiuous, as
they only know him as one who would
honestly and accepJabiy hll the position.
