ming positive campaign, and SO far
have not been driven into denying
many of these misrepresentation.
They have become SO plentiful that
the republicans themselves have COM
menced denying them.
Recently Morton Albaugh, chair
man of the republican state central
committee, came out in an interview
to the effect that MIR. Craddock was
paying no taxes in Wyand dotte county,
that he never had aided the county in
taxes, but had always lodged them.
In reply to this, J. G.. Bailey. the re-
publican city assessor, writes the fol-
lowing to the Kansas City World:
KANSAS CITY, KANs.. Sept 8.
DEAR SIR:-I have seen an article
from Topeka paper, in which Nor
ton Albaugh. chairman of The repub-
lican committee, states that w. 81,
CraddOck. mayor of Kansas City,
Kans., and candidate for governor,
has never paid one cent toward de-
fraying the expenses of his state, his
county. or his city. In the years 1887 :,
1888 and 1899, when Mr.. CraddOck
,, was in business here on James street,
he had Il general dry goods and
clothing store, and the writer of this
was the assessor at that time, and
will state that Mr.. Craddock, of his
own free will, showed me his books
and all of his stock and was assessed
1 believe, higher and paid more taxes
| than any other store in Wyand Otte
county at that time, and, furthermore,
he said he wanted to pay his just pro-
portion. This is written without any
partisanship, only to do justice to
Mr.. Craddock.
! j. G.. BAILEY,
253 North 18th street,
Kansas City, Kas.
| Mr.. Albaugh seems to think it is Il
crime because the homestead is in the
name of MIR. Craddock's wife. Here.
tofore it had been thought that the
homestead upon which the wife and
children must depend for roof over
their heads should be put beyond the
pale of business emergencies or finan.
cial disaster. When Mr.. Craddock
bought the present home he made a
present of it to his wife. The event
was glad moment in the story OF
their lives. That he should have beer
criticised for this is unDianly, con.
scienceless and devoid of all human
feeling, but is on a nar with Other
disreputable political methods of AL
baugh and his associates.

a drummer for a wholesale clothing
firm cleaned up $500 in Barre last week
as the result of the ''softness" of certain
people in that city. He talked on the
Jeffries- Fitzsimmons fight very carefully
and finally induced II people to bet 500
each that Fftzsimmons would not be
knocked out in the eighth round. The
men were so sure that he would not
and that he would win that they hurried
ly posted their money. The drummer was
a particular friend of Jeffries and knew
what he was betting on. The result
proved that he knew all about the fight
in advance and that he was betting on
a certainty. 1t also incidentally proves
that the story of the fight being fake"
is correct.
