state emphatically that not one dollar of
money received from any source whatever,
by any one connected with the conduct
Of the campaign at Madison, was received
on any condition that any individual
should be nominated or defeated on the
state ticket, or that any official should
either then or thereafter show any favor
or consideration to the contributor or to
any one else for the contribution. No such

promptly refused by those who were con-
Quoting the campaign. These are the

The desperate straits of the party is vel
shown by the sublety with which the,

| Circulars were sent broadcast by the state
central committee to all women's clubs
and to all prominent women In the state
showing the Importance OF the office Of
state superintendent and urging all wo'
men who are legal voters for educational
officers to register. One Of these circulars

Mayor Corcoran attempted to explain
away the difficulty by a statement tina

suggestion, and would not necessarily b
