Criticism Of John F. Cook.
The Cook Reyburn ticket TODAY en-
countered another unfortunate obstacle in
being threatened the withdrawal of Col.
Perry Carson, who has been really the
backbone of the Cook-Reyburn strength

kating' of late. and that his post as jani-
tor at the District building has been va
can't In fact, it Is said that Col Carson
has been hard to find, devoting all his hours
to the interest of his friend. John f. Cook
Rumor has it that the District Commits
sioners are looking for the old political war
horse, in order to tell him that as he is
still on the pay roll as janitor they would

his time to politics. In other words. the
Commissioners believe the District Is not
getting what 1t is paying for, in so far as
Col. CarsonS services are concerned. When
the colonel can be found in the vicinity
of the District building it is understood he
will be asked to appear before the Com
missioners, and the wishes of the city s
rulers will be communicated to him. If he
Is not found shortly, 1t is fntima ted, wire
less message will be placed in the local
ether waves to land on him, wherever he
may be. With Col Carson out OF the nght
for Messrs Cook and Reyburn that ticket
would be reduced to very inconsiderabie
following.
