Page, the Democratic editor oi
Bonnc Torre, Mo, who refuses To
say where he obtained a $1,000 bill
mt Jefferson City on the ground
that giving the facts would incrim

of the recent session Of the legis-
lature Mr.. Page made contracts
with large number of Demo cratic
country papers to furnish them
with letters from the state capitol

low rate OF 50 for the session. II
was not long before the more in

covered that his letters were in

seeking ringstcrs. In every letter
he charged the Republican mem
bcrs with boodling and working
for the lobby, no doubt to distract
attention from the $1,000 bills cir
culating within his own circle.
