YOU'RE another" is the decidedly

"Dal'' summarizes the latest epigram-
matte utterances of Ed" including
the pointed reference anent an enor-
nous campaign fund. in which the
Progressive Boss asks the Regular
Boss: Where do you get 1t? What
do you do with it?"
about all I intend to say for pub
lication was contained in my remarks
to the County Committee Friday
night" is the way Chairman Dalrymple
meets every inquiry on the subject, and
then he adds little bit more.
IF Mr.. Osborne IS sincere IN his de-
sire to let the public In on what a
primary campaign actually does cost
remarks the county chairman, why
don't he furnish an evidence of his
sincerity by publishing a statement OF
the receipts and. expenditures of the
New Ideaites In their campaign Of last
year?
where Did $1,000 COT
"Rumor has II that somebody from
sc mewhere, or various somebodies, gave
UP for New Idea uses in this county
about 81, 900 last year. and that about
$4,000 of the amount was expended
Where did the other 5000 go to? Can
Mr.. Osborne answer" is the way in
which Dali puts 1t.
Mr.. Osborne asks me to publish a
list Of all the contributions to the
county campaign fund Of last year and
the various purposes for which It was
expended, continues "Dal," land he
expresses a willingness to do likewise.
why should Mr. Osborne wait until
act? Why not take the people OF Es-
sex into your confidence at once and
tell them who financed the New idea
fight last year and where the money
went top
"At the same time" adds the county
chairman, '.the gentleman from Iows
might state what the present campaign
has cost up to date. He ought to know
| inasmuch as he has the reputation o.
financing the present campaign. or, a
least, standing good for any possible
deficit.
He is on record as saying II costs a
| least 5000 to conduct a campaign
against the machine in this county, and
says he stan5~ ready to publish al
iternized statement of the New Ides
account of the last campaign.

''Dal." for 1t was common rumor il
the Fourth ward, where l reside, thai
1t paid to be reformer. as the New
Idea bunch were handing il out at tns
rate OF 500 clip to crooks. Mr.. Os.
borne can tell If that is true. Why don'i
hep
Without waiting for reply from
me-" continued the county chairman
4Mr. Osborne may publish what 1t il
costing him or the league this year fol
obtaining signatures to nominating pc.
titions.
Some say this evidence of popular
support of the Progressive movement
this year has cost about $25 a petit
tion, rather a neat little sum, II it ap-
plies to each of the 22s districts in ths
county, and Mr. Osborne is the mar
who can tell If he wants to.
so far as I am concerned, my in.
terest lies in the success of the Repub

gagged without entering into contro-
versy with Mr.. Osborne or anyone els;
who Is hankering after free advertis

campaign.

and we Will put the issue squarely
up to the voters, leaving 1t to them t

More than that Chairman Dalrympl.
declined to say at present. Most of q
he whispered in response to the query
of few personal friends preparatory
to hurried trip to New York on bust
ness rather than politics. and not fol
the purpose of a personal visit to Mr.
Osborne, as had been intimated.
