THOMAS T|BBLES TALKS
Accounts For One-Third of the
Campaign Fund.
USED FOR SPECIAL ISSUE.
Prominent Populist Says as Soon as
Mr.. Bryan Returned From Convention
Of 1904 He Wrote Editorial Headed,
II Shall Support Parker"

Omaha. June 5.-Some light was
thrown on the disposition of the now
famous $4,000 campaign fund raised
ut New York in 1904 and spent in the
Nebraska campaign by a statement
given out by Thomas II. Tibbles, Popu-
list nominee for vice president in that
year.
At that time Mr.. Tibbles was edi-
tor Of the Independent at Lincoln, and
Mr. Bryan's Commoner was printed
by the Independent plant. Mr.. Bryan's
editorial desk was In the Independent
office.
Mr.. Tibbles says: 81 know right
where $4,000 of that New York fund
went. II went into the special edition
OF $4,000 copies OF the Independent
which was gotten out for the purpose
OF electing George w. Berge for gov
ernor. The entire paper was given
up to the candidacy in that edition, Of
the Independent, Populist and fusion
cdnuludle LOT BoNeInOf. MS dWOunl
was handed us by Tom Allen, James
c. Dahlman and Colonel John G.
Maher. and they secured the funds
from the Democratic national commit
te on a trip which they made to New
York.
II do not know what became Of the
other 100000, but know positively
OF the disposition of the $4,000.
II also know something about the
charge that $4,000 was sent to Ne.
braska to get Mr.. Bryan TO support
Parker. = The day after Mr.. Bryan
returned from the st. Louis convention
he dropped into the Independent Of
flee, sat down at his desk and began
writing an editorial. The first words
were, I shall support Parker We
put that editorial in type and ran II
in the Commoner the following week
All that was done long before there
was any { K of needing money In the
Nebraska election. and should dispose
OF the ridiculous talk about Mr. Bryan
being paid to support Parker"

IN TEE SUPREME COURT
The Griffin.Gesner Contest now Pend.
Ing In Highest Court Tribunal.
Will be Argued at Topeka on
September I4th.

An alternative writ Of mandamus was
issued laa Wednesday by Justice r. A.
Burch sf the Supreme Courtagainst VIM.
Gesner and the County Contest Board, in
the Griffin Gesner contest case. The writ
was received by Sheriff Kidd on Thurs.
day and was served on the defendants.
The counts order is as follows
Now therefore. the aforesaid petition
has bean sustained and this wit allowed,
And you. William Gesner and S. w.
Ireland, county clerk. w. II. Cloud.
county attorney. and c. d. Rackley,
clerk Of the district court d. Barber coun-
ty. Kansas. are hereby commanded I'M
mediately upon receipt Of the wit to
proceed in the performance Of your du-
ties to the trial Of said contest, or tha,
you appear before this Court on the
4th day Of September, 1908, at the
hour Of 2 o'clock p. m. Of sa,d day and
show cause. if any you have. for refusing
TO 90 ~ commanded herein, and that
you then and there return this writ.
r. A. BURcH,
Justice Of the Supreme Court.
On Monday Messrs. Ireland, Rackley
and Cloud sat as Board and heard an
application by Mr.. Griffin and his at.
tomeys Seward |. Seward and C. M.
Martin, to proceed to the trial Of the con-
test, b4 after again hearing both sides.
decided to maintain their original position
that the contest was filed prematurely.
Tbis VIII have the efea Of checking
the entire matter up to the Supreme
Court next Monday. September 18th
the day the writ is returnable.
1t was hoped by many that since the
writ issued by Justice Burch made i,
plain dat it is the duty Of the board tc
try the contest, that the trial would pro-
ceed. bit it seems that Messrs. Ireland,
Rackley and Cloud do not desire to as
sumo thework unless compelled to do so
Noble & Tmcher. attorneys for Mr..
Gesner, who will also probably represent
the contest board, still believe that the
Supreme Court will not compel a re-
count Of the votes after the law is thor
oushly presented, while Mr.. Griffin and
his attorneys as firmly believe that a re-
count will be ordered.
In addition to the local attorneys,
Troutman & Stone Of Topeka will repre-
sent MIR. Griffin in the supreme court.
1t is understood that Mr.. Gesner has also
employed Topeka law firm.
This paper adheres to its first state
ment-that both parties to the contes,
should have entered into an agreement
to recount the votes regardless Of cour,
orders or legal opinions and this i
the view the general public takes. There
can be no valid reason urged against ar
honest count on any proposition. Wher
that is denied. the right Of suffrage o
the people is denied. and no decision o
any court can make it different.
