The World-Herald is trying to bubble
about The Bees reference to the plat
forms on which the opposing candidates
for mayor are appealing for votes at
the election. When The Bee speaks Of
Mr.. Benson's platform it refers to the
declaration he himself promulgated at
the opening Of his campaign for NOM
ination, which was printed in all the
papers from carefully prepared manu-
script. When it refers to Mr.. Dahl
mans platform it refers to the docu-
ment formulated for him by a self
appointed group of democratic guar
dians, without official standing, and
swallowed by Dahlman with his eyes
shut So far as the endorsement by the
rank and file of the party goes, Ben.
sons platform has the best of it, be-
cause it was submitted to the public in
advance of the primary, while the Dahl
man platform did not see the light of
day until after the democratic candi-
dates had been nominated.

Planning to Attack WIN.

Plans of attack upon the will of Rus
sell Sage are being prepared by The rela-
tiyes, and according to the last confer
ence it is considered advisable to begin
by filing objections on September z,
when the citations are returnable.
The ground on which such contest
could be made, in the opinion OF the
kinsmen Of the late hnancler, ia that the
testa.or was not capable OF making a will
for five or six years before his death.
Wall street men who we're seen yesterday
doubt if anyone could prove that in 1901,
when the will was made, Mr.. Sage was
not fully capable Of disposing of his
property. They point out that in 1901
he was conducting extensive operations
that be was in contact with some of thu
brightest minds of the financial world
and that be aeyfy betrayed the slightes
sign of not being In command OF hi
faculties. Had the will been made two
years ago they think there might be som'
chance OF contesting it. 1t was pointed
out that if the question we're ever raised
scores of brokers and bankers could b
brought forward who would testify tina
Mr.. Sage was entirely able 10 take car
of his money. TIE question is also raise'
as to whether or not man could be un
duly Influenced by his wife.
