Some of the candidates on the Re-
publican city ticket have been spoken
of as ~kickers." with reference to the
amounts assessed against them by the
city central committee. Arthur MEGA be
says that it is entirely incorrect to char
acterize him as such. He says that the
amounts originally assessed against the
candidates were strongly objected to by
some. Whereupon the committee pro-
ceeded TO raise assessments where no
objection was made and lower them
where there was a protest. Under this
last arrangement his assessment was
quite materially raised, but he made
no protest.
