SELLING SEASON TICKETS
Campaign Started Today Will Be
Continued.

The campaign which was started
this morning by Commercial club
members for the purpose of selling
baseball coupon books to assure the
financial success of the 1911 season in
Topeka, will be continued for several
days, or until all the business men of
the city have been called upon.
The first work done by the commit
tees in the field was productive of re-
suits. Thirty men have put 5000
OF their own money into the enterprise
which makes it possible to keep To-
peka on the baseball map, and the
workers, who are business men, be-
lieve that all persons especially those
engaged in commercial enterprises
should at least support the team by
buying tickets The advertising a
good team gives a city is worth a
great deal, they say.

UNDER SURVEILLANCE

UNDER SURVEILLANCE
The fact that the board Of super
visors have kept an expert accountant
employed every day in the year for
twelve months checking up the work
of our county officials is sufficient
10 raise a suspicion that the members
OF the board have little confidence
in either the competency or integrity
Of our public officers
Previous to the beginning of the
present county administration the Off
cials Of the several counties OF the ter
ritory we're under the surveillance OF
a territorial examiner who did this
work in Cochise county. devoting the
time necessary TO satisfy him that
the public affairs OF the county were
being properly conducted. We have
never heard of any suspicion of
crokedness on the part Of our pres.
ent officials and can see no reason
pert accountant to check up their en-
for the continual services Of an ex.
tries from day to day. from week TO
week and from month to month, They
are regarded as competent and be
sides they are all under bond for the
faithful performance of duty.
Charles Purdon the holder of the
position of county examiner in this
county is regarded as a man Of in
tegrity and of high qualification fo-
the work assigned him and the fact
that he has been unable to detect any
irregularities worthy of report dur
ing twelve months of constant work
should Itself be sufficient TO convince
the board that it is uselessly spend
ing money under the county examin
er law. However. if the board pro
poses to continue this work indef.
nitely we trust that Purdon will b,
kept on the Job.
This paper has shown that Co
chise county for the past ten year.
has expended more money for iti
county examiner work than was ex
pended in several of the largest
counties in the territory and this
should be sufficient to cause our board
Of supervisors to give attention tc
the possibilities for retrenchment in
this matter.
In this connection it is proper tC
call attention to the matter Of rang

Bribery In Election.

Chattanooga, Tenn.-United States
Senator James B. Frazier, who is
home for the holidays, states most
positively that the report prepared by
the subcommittee of the senate com.
mittee on privileges and elections on
the election Of Senator William Lori
mer of Illinois, does not encompass his
views of the case and also declares he
did not sign the report.
Senator Frazier said that the testi.
mony presented before the investiga-
ting committee was conclusive proof
to him that the Office was obtained for
Mr.. Lorimer by corrupt influences. He
said that In view of the evidence sub
mitted he could rot conscientiously
sign the report giving Lorinsr a clean
bill of health.
Mr.. Frazier declared that he was not
even in Washington Friday night when
the report of the subcommittee was
submitted to the full committee. and
