such statute and would thank somebody to en-
tighten me on the subject.
ALI of us can understand that care-t takers,
may be employed to protect the States prop
erty, and that the repairs made on the same.
are necessarily incidental. But where did Mr.
Barron get the authority to pay the Gov
errors cool1-or any other servant? The.
Keeper of Public Buildings and Grounds has
no more right to pay the Executives coach
man than he has to buy the Governor pair
of horses and a carriage.
1t would oblige me greatly if some better
informed citizen would tell us how long this
kind of thing has been going on. Nobody but
demagogue would object to public officials
being paid an adequate salary. But the car
rylng of the servants of the official on the
payroll of the State is most Objectionable
Were you aware of the fact that your tax
money was paying the salaries of servants at
the Governors Mansion? Here is one citizen
and taxpayer who knew nothing about it UNI
til he read Barron's report. IF the Legisla-
ture doesn't take hold of that matter of the
tremendous expense of running that one little
office, we're going to have Statewide scan

Did You Know That You Paid For
the Governors Servants

In my opinion it would puzzle Philadel-
phia lawyer to find any legal authority for
charging up to the people the salaries Of the
servants of the Governor. In Lee Barron's
report to Gov. Joseph M. Brown it appears
that the sum of $1,189.83 was paid to the
servants at the Mansion What constitutional
authority had the Legislature to authorize
that expenditure? Did the Legislature, in
fact, ever authorize it? / don't recall any

Hon. Champ Clark Would Be Well
Advised III He Would Take No
More Part i'm Trying to Save
Those Georgia DeSerters.

IT is easy to understand that leader takes
pride In holding his men together, This is
true of Military Chieftan and it is true of
a Congressional Leader. The Deserters who
are trying to escape punishment are making
the most of Champ Clark's leadership, and
are drawing him very far away from base
He has not as vet actually falsifed the record
In so many words, but he has come danger
ously near it. He has secured his own re-
nomination and is therefore feeling secure.
If he goes step further | will throw the
gauntlet at his feet and declare war upon him
for the next ten years. If [ live so long He
knows as we'll as [ do what the purpose of
those tWenty-three Democrats was in desert
ing to the Republicans in support of the
Fitzgerald amendments. He knows perfectly
we'll that the Republicans bought those TWEEN
ty-three Democrats and have been paving
them in Committee places and patronage.
Ever since Champ Clark took part of the
million dollar corporation which was organ
lied In St. Louis by prominent Republicans
and Democrats, | have been uneasy for his
future. Those st. Louis capitalists took some
Republican and Democratic Congressman into
the Mississippi River Valley Transportation
Company for sinister purpose Jim Griggs
Champ Clark and Louis Bartholdt have no
money, and it is all too evident that their po-
htical influence In Congress was desired by
the new Corporation. If Mr.. Clark has not
already severed his connection with that mil
hon-dollar corporation his political friends
should advise him that the sooner he sewers
it the better
Now coming to Pussy foot Bill: the most
of the troubles which he brought upon him
self began by his betrayal of the people when
he voted for the rules of old Joe Cannon. in
order that he might pass that infamous new
Tariff bill, and he committed crime against
the South for which, for less ground than
that, men and deserters have been court mar
tailed, blind folded and shot
Thousands of poor soldiers have run away
from the army on account of inconsistencies
and because lonely wife wrote to the soldier
husband that there was no bread in the house
and the children were crying with hunger
Many of those soldiers honestly meant to re-

attempts to repel my accusations? Why hasn't

faced wretch back to Congress, to betray

ThOS. E. Watson Proves an Alibi
The Burke Letter Worthless
to HardWick
CONCLUDED FROM PAGE ONE

Governor Smith will not indorse the charge
made by Hardwick that [ opposed his re-
election because [ lost $3.50 by his failure to
commute Glover's sentence. Not until they
have actually done it will believe that any
of the Hoke Smith supporters will indorse
the Hardwick accusation.
Hardwick's unprovoked attacks on me In
1908 did not make any votes for Governor
Smith; on the contrary, they lost him thou
sands. Hardwick's TRADES of abuse of me
now are not benefiting Ex-Governor Smith;
on the contrary, they are doing him harm.
He knew what revelations his attack upon
me about the Glover case would force me to
make He knows how embarrassing to eX-
Governor Smith these revelations mig ht be-
Yet he forces me to make them because, In
his campaign, as In all others, his selfshness
predominates Hardwick always works for
Hardwick No matter who else may be hurt
In making those speeches in 1908 Hardwick
was not actuated by any love of Hoke Smith
He was thinking Of Hardwick and of Hard
wick's future, for he wanted to 60 to the
United States Senate.
If / were to show Ex-Governor Smith some
of Hardwiclx's private letters in which Mr..
Smith is referred to, that gentleman would
wake up to the fact that he is as much de-
ceived in Hardwick as I once was.
Now let us consider the second deuce which
the little buffer produced at Thomson, to-wit,
''the Burke letter." In the first place every
one will be struck by the fact that Hardwick
has appealed for help to one of the twenty
three Democratic Deserters, who himself IS
already beyond the reach of help, but who
made an appeal to this Republican Congress-
man for it.
Republican Burke manifested the utmost
willingness to become the savior OF the near
Republican, Howard. whose desertion to the
stand-pat Republicans Oh the 18th of March,
1909, saved Cannonism from overthrow and
enabled the stand-patters to tack on to the
PAYNE tariff bill the $50 amendments which
are now robbing the people SO remorsely in
the increased cost of living. A fair example
of the bill being it's tax of $50 per cent. on the
poor mans Overcoat and tax OF 1855 per cent.
on the poor mans blanket while the rich
mans automobile escapes with tax of so per
cent
have been assured that my name does not
occur at all in Burke's letters. The reference
made by him is, am told, to "Mr w." No
body could avoid seeing how curiously the let
ter is worded. Congressman Burke may have
conferred with some other man who personated
me and who tried to get Republican money
in my name. Such thing is possible, but if
ever I saw Congressman Burke or he saw ne,
I am not aware of the fact We have never
had any communication with one another, di-
rect or indirect Never did attend a Repub-
lican conference in Chicago or anywhere else;
never did I see Mark Hanna or have any re-
lation with him.
During the campaign which he managed [
fought him from Georgia to Colorado.
Throughout the campaign my work was for
BRYAN, and when the fight was over I was
utterly worn out. In the off year, 1898, the

make straight Populist speech at Thomson
for our candidate for Governor, the Hon.
James r. Hogan. After that I quit politics
until 1904, taking no further part therein un-
til after Mark Hannas death.
Never was | in Chicago at all until Mark
Hanna had been dead some months. Ma or
Charles E. McGregor and | went through that
city in August 1904, stopping over one night
to hear the splendid music of the comic opera,
"The Royal Chef" We had no conference
with any Republicans, but went raight on
to Lincoln Nebraska, where | opened my
campaign with an address, to which Mr..
Bryan listened. After the speech was over
Mr.. Bryan took me to luncheon at his home,
Fairview
During the whole of the year 1900 / don't
think I was out of the town of Thomson
single day; not out of the State, | am
sure. During the whole of the year 1900 my
studies for the life of Napoleon Bonaparte
monopolized my time. More than a thousand
volumes, bearing upon the subject, were care
fully and impartially examined before the
pen was put to paper Hon. Wharton Barker
was the PopuHst candidate for President in
1900, and he got rather angry at my refusal to
take part in the campaign. To represent me
as having been willing to 90 to South Dakota
and help Republicans in local campaign
during Presidential year like 1900 is one of
the most wildly absurd SANDERS ever circu-
lated by desperate, INSCRIPTIONS men.
If mans character can be taken away
from him on evidence like that nobody is safe.
If there had been even the merit of sincerity
In Congressman Burkes charges against ''Mr.
W. he would have g ven the names of the
other two prominent Populists who attended
that mythical conference. He couldn't say
they were prominent without having their
names and had he mentioned the names he
would have in jected some little importance
into his curiously worded accusation against
"Mr. w."
You will observe that Congressman Burke
has not made oath to anything and has been
SO cunnlngly cautious in wording his letter
that he couldn't be reached by libel suit if
one were thought worth while Unless I am
utterly mistaken in the character and intelh-
gence of our people the Hardwick charges
will recoil upon him, and if he persists in
making them he will not only ruin himself,
but will greatly I'M ure Ex-Governor Smiths
candidacy. It will astonish me greatly if the
intelligent public fails to attach the proper
significance to the fact that Pussy Foot Bill
Howard made his appeal for help to that
stand-pat Republican who was selected by old
Joe Cannon to whitewash Hog face Jim Sher-
man and those other scoundrels who attempt
ed to bride the blind Senator from Oklahoma.
Congressman Burke acting as chairman of
the Investigating Committee in Muscogee is
doing his level best to save lot of crooks
who ought to be in the penitentiary instead
of in Congress. And it is the most natural
thing in the world that Burke should devote
spare minute to the noble work of trying to
help two such creatures as Pussy Foot Bill
and little Tom Billy from having to check
their political baggage for a trip up Salt
