OSBORNE REPLIES
TO OALRYMPLE IN
STRONG LETTER
toontinued from First Pagso

that subject. They haven't treated
bosses in Iowa and Kansas with the
consideration that is calculated to
make a boss happy.
IF Mr.. Dalrynple is SO opposed to
fraud at the primaries, what earthly
object could he have had In getting a
construction of the law which facili-
tates fraud by his own election officers,
though refusing the Progressives the
right to challengers?
'T have heard Mr.. Dalrymple say that
the business of a leader is to win 1
altogether agree with that, but I want
to remind him that there is an increas-
ingly large number of Republican vot-
ers who are getting fnicky about the
methods employed to win We are go
ing to need all these Republican voters
way to get their confidence is to con-
vince them that we deserve it.
There are lot of these 'finiclfy
Republicans who think that the
methods employed to win last years
primaries by Mr.. Dalrymple's machine
were not altogether satisfactory. There
are rumors that the machine used 9
great deal of money, and leaders who
require large sums of money to win arr
finding 1t more and more difficult t6
get the confidence of these 'finicky
folks. You know a gentleman by the
name of Sibley recently won out in 9
Pennsylvania congressional district
and lot of meddlesome people are
making q row because he spent forty
odd Thousand dollars to win his nomi-
nation, an average of more than foul
dollars for each Republican vote cast.
"I therefore make this suggestion to
Mr.. Dalrymple in the interest Of party
harmony-that he publish a sworr
statement giving the names of al
parties who contributed to his cam.
paign fund last year, giving the amount
, of each contribution, and that he also
publish an itemized sworn statement
of expenses We will, OF course, agree
that if Mr.. Dalrymple will publish this
statement the Progressives will pub
lish similar statement.
" 81 arm aware, of course, that nobody
suspects that the Progressive Repub'
licans have received any money from
| improper sources or. have made any
questionable use of primary election
funds, but 1t iS only proper that bott
statements be published.
| Il further propose that both tn
Regular and Progressive organization
Y shall give out sworn statement ol
Saturday, September 10, 1910, contain
ing the name of each and every con
tributor in 1910, and the amount con
tributed, together with an itemized lis
of expenditures made to that date, an
! that two days after the primary elec
tion they shall each give out anothe
statement, giving a list Of all contribu
tions received since the ante-primar.
/ statement was made, together with OK
penses incurred.
eff Mr.. Dalrymple will accept thes
suggestions he will travel far in con
vincing the people of Essex county tina
his business In politics is to promot
the general welfare and not particu1a
| welfares.
81 am very anxious that the Republi
can party shall win in the Novembe
election, but know that the only wa
it can hope to win is by convincing Re
publican voters that 1t deserves to win
1t seems. therefore, very proper that
should offer Mr.. Dalrymple any sue
gestions calculated to assure the re
suits that both he and / want in tn
November election. I have sewers
other suggestions that shall offer, br
I do not wish to fatigue Mr.. Dalrympl
Il have probably given him enough
think about for one day"
