OF Methods Used by Republican
MayoraIty Candidates to
Obtain Votes.
This Offer Was Reported by Clergyman
W. c. T. u. Will Work to Elect Mr..
Adamson.

Il am permitted to say to you that
Mr.. Edison G. Webster, recently can
didate for the Republican nomination
for Mayor, will answer all questions
you refer to him with reference to the
manner in which the other candidates
secured the nomination"
1t was at the meeting of the W.
G. Il. u Monday afternoon and the
speaker was Rev. w. f. Crispin. A
discussion was in progress relative to
the best and most effective methods
of campaigning to secure the election
of the Prohibition candidate for
Mayor, Mr.. Alexander Adamson
The announcement made by Rev. Mr..
Crispin that Mr.. Webster, one of the
candidates for the Republican nomina.
tion for Mayor, would thus assist in
the campaign was received with great
applause.
Members of the w. G. II. U. organi-
zatlon expect to take an active inter
est in the campaign to eIecte Mr..
Adamson. They are glad to learn that
Mr.. Webster will contribute ammuni-
tion to shoot into the camps of their
friends, the enemy; glad not because
they wish to follow the methods Of
other candidates, but because they will
get information to accuse the system
employed by others. Mr.. Webster is
familiar with the methods which he
claims were used by his fellow Repub-
lican candidates, and his revelations
concerning them will be awaited with
great interest.
SCHOOL BOARD FIGHT.

present, who signed it freely, asking

NO SENSATION YET.
Although Loose Methods Are Found
to Prevail at the Yankton
Asylum.

Yankton, S. D. Feb. 1S.-The members
Of the state legislative committee APP
pointed to investigate the Institutions
under the supervision OF the board Of
charities and corrections has been in
session here since Friday most of the
time thus far las been spent examin-
Ing DR.. Mead's administration, but
nothing of a sensational character has
developed.
Thesregular work.of the investigation
commenced Saturday, when Public Elk
aminer Maris Taylor was called to tes-
dfy on the charges made against DR..
Mead by Governor Lee. MI. Taylor
proved a cautious witness and an
5sWered only direct questions. He prom
ised to give specific information in re-
gard to the furniture charged to have
been taken from the Institution by DR..
Mead If allowed to consult notes he
had made on the property at that time.
Fl. Z. Smith, chairman of the board of
charities andcorrections, and f. D. Wy
man, former steward, We're examined
Saturday afternoon. While most of the
evidence la beer immaterial in Its
results 1t has been shown tina exor-
bitants prices were paid for various fac
tory articles which We're subject to
rebates and yet no credit for UGH dis
counts are shown on the books nor
have any credits been made of the SO
refunds allowed by railways on 1000
mile tickets on return of ticket cover.
Many of such tickets have been pur-
chased for attendants sent after pa
tents. Up tosnoon today six witnesses
had been examined including ex-Goy-s
ernor Lee, Public Examiner Taylor.
Superintendent Ross Of the hospital,
Chairman Smith of the board OF char
tiles and Architect Dow.
Architect Dow, who is familiar With
the cost of labor n material therein,
estimated In regard to the rear middle
building, which was an issue in the last
state campaign on the grounds of ex-
straVagance, or worse, in Its building,
that SIS, 0g0 should have been expended
SO far in its construction, and that $685.
600 more would be eed to complete
1t. The present steward, Nissen, testi-
fed in regard to the cost of the build
ing that no accurate account was ever
kept, and that he did not consider that
the returns made to the state auditor
in such matter We're correct, as money
was always taken from one fund for
use in others. He could give no infor-
nation in regard to the value Of the
patient labor used.
Ex-Governor Lee was questioned in
regard to h charges against DR.. Mead,
but did not seem able to substantiate
them. On the subject of bills rendered
by individuals for supplies, MI. Lee
stated from his own business exper-
ience that bills had been presented
that no honorable firm would make out
and no honorable body would allow. He
characterized the conduct Of affairs at
the reform school during the former
administration as the most reckless of
any In the state.
The investigation will continue today

Island Republic Expects to Make 1t a
Memorable Day.
Havana, Feb 19.-Governor General
Wood left Havana yesterday for! a two-
days rest at Batabano. With him went
the special committee appointed by the
Cuban constitutional convention to
draw up q proposition defining the fu-
ture relations between the United
States and the republic of Cuba.
Judging from the personal opinions
of the members of the committee, no
objections Will be raised on It's part to
~instituting the most liberal relations;
matter Of course that the United States
government is entitled to ask for as
surances as to the stability of the re-
public. There is an evident disposition
to look upon the outline of the pro-
posed relations as published in La Ma
cion, as Indicating what is desired by
the United States, La Lucia comments
ed fayorably on the proposition at the
time.
The only hitch that is expected to
arise between General Wood and the
commission In discussing the question
is as to establishing naval stations
in Cuba by the United States. The
other clauses may. be somewhat modi-
fled, but 1t Is likely that an agreement
will be reached whereby Cuba shall.
not negotiate loans on which she is
unable to pay interest and shall not
make treaties with other nations preju-
dicial to the interests OF the United.
States In Cuba or in n way prevent

The United States, on the other hand,
