Offers to Tell Where He Got It.

pi'rs to itil NHcre itc GOt It
 You refer to our campaign fund in | 1896 and accuse us of allowing two men to contribute largely to the small fund with which the committee con- ducted the campaign. I am not sure about the figures because 1 have not seen an authentic statement of the con trlhutions, but was informed that tho l largest of the two sums which you mention was not all contributed by tho man to whom it was credited but in- cluded contributions from others as well as that which he gave himself. But if you want to be fair. why do you not give the amount of the repub- lican campaign fund that year and the sources of it? I am willing to have both i funds published; are you? If some of those who contributed to our fund of less than s300,000 had a pecuniary in- terest in the result of the election, how will you explain the enormous contrbu- tions made to the republican fund. If you will remember, the democratic | platform canddly declared that the partys purpose. If the carrying out of that policy would have been of advan- tage to anyone, the whole public had knowledge and the publication of the contributions would not have affected the result. Publicity as to campaign funds is needed to make known that which is disclosed by the platform, but to direct attention to secret agree ! ,r ,,lt ai, would otherwise be concealed from the public,
 You certainly pay more attention to the campaign mote than to the beam when you find fault with our national campaign fund in 1896 and ignore the significance of fund almost as large which, at your request, was collected from a few persons in 1904 and was used in one state and was only small item in the fund collected that year But your letter presents a defense of your party's position and an accusa. tion against the voters which empha- size an issue already prominent You are the first conspicuous member of your party to attempt an explanation of the partys opposition 10 publicity before the election, and the admission which you make will embarrass youl party associates. Your position Is that the publication before election of thC contributions made to your campaign fund would furnish your political op ponents an opportunity 'to give falst impression" as to the fitness off tho candidates.

VEGETABLES ON THE ROOF.

Saying that the conventional roof
garden was a misnomer. Afrs. Antonio
Bellestri of l.039 Hiilen street. built a
real garden on her roof and planted
a variety OF vegetables. Stalks OF
corn which IS only one of the many
vegetables she raises, can be seen
from the street, and attract much az.

The inability % buy vegetables 10
the market caused Mrs. Be.iestH %
conceive the idea Of a roof garden.
Procuring several store boxes OF a
depth of about six feet. she filed
them with rich soil and planted the
seeds. The growth Of the plants
was watched with keen interest. and
10 her delight the vegetables she de-
sired came in abundance. and she had
more than could be used By her fam
iiy. Those that she does not use arc
sent TO her friends.
Several crops are raised a year. and
besides corn and spices she has beans.

In speaking of the congression-
al situation in the Thirteenth dis
trict and South Bend Tribune on
Saturday said:
District Chairman John l..
Moorman, of Knox, and Hon.
Charles w. Miller of Goshen, the
candidates for the Republican
nomination for congress to sue
ceed the late Congressman A. l..
Brick, were in city today. Mr..
Moorman left this morning for
Plymouth and Mr.. Miller went to
Mishawaka to consult with politi-
cal friends.
Both gentlemen seem thor
oughly satisfied with the situa-
ton. Mr.. Moorman said that so
far as he is concerned it could not
be better for his candidacy. Mr..
Miller expressed great confidence
in the result, indicating that he
had little doubt but he would Sc
cure the nomination.
Mr.. Mcorman said the date for
the congressional nomination had
not been set. He said he had
about decided to leave the selec-
tionof the date to the seven coun-
ty chairmen and to have them
sign the call 1t is understood
that in many parts of the district
the feeling for an early conven-
ton is strong. 1t is also stated
that some Republicans prefer a
late convention so that any per-
sons desiring to enter the con-
gressional race may do so.
So far Moorman and Mr.. Mil
Ter are the only avowed candi-
dates although other names con-
