TO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN.

This is to certify that Mr.. WI B.
Weaver has been fixing roofs on my
mothers property for the last twenty
years, shingle, metal and composition
roofs, and that his work has been salts
factory; and he has always stopped the
roofs from leaking when others have
stated that there would have to be new
roofs, and his paint does not affect the
water or metal roof.
His guarantee, we have found to be
good, as he has always willingly gone
back on any of the roofs when they be-
gan leaking; ant we recommend him to
any one that would see fit to give him
contract, feeling satisfied that he will
do what he states and stop the roofs
from yeaking. Very truly,

Indianapolis. Oct. 81. -- Campaign
managers OF both parties are greatly
mystlfied and not little concerned
over developmenC that has
just arisen In the campaign. In bet
ting circles wagers are being offered
that John w. Kern will not be sent
to the senate if the legislature is
Democratic and that Beverage will
not be elected If the Republicans
control the legislature.
Both men are nominees of their
party, and the confidence with which
wagers are being offered il causing
genuine surprise. Those who are
Offering the wagers do not give any
explanation, but it is known chat
they are depending upon the brew
cry opposition to Kern and the an
tagonism of Shiyely's friends to de-
feat him if the legislature is Demo
cratic.
In the case OF Beveridge the con

fact that some of the Republican
candidates for the legislature have

eorsHALL TOOK NO MILEAGE

The Republican-News attempts to
cast doubt on the sincerity of Rep
resentative Gotshall In not accepting
mileage under the t2-cent mileage
law, and asserts that "Gotshall has
the voucher, which is as good as gold
to himself, his heirs or assigns, and
the voucher can be cashed after the
election as well as before" This
statement of the Republican-News is
an absolute fabrication. Gotshall new
er accepted a voucher for mileage un-
der the 12-cent law. The voucher, II
ever written out by the clerk of the
house, is in possession of that officer
and no warrant was issued on 1t by
the auditor of state. In point of fact
the appropriation for mileage at the
first session, which had not been
drawn by members of the Legislature
has lapsed under the law into the
state treasury and will never again
be available. The Banner stated the
exact facts regarding Representative
Gotshall not accepting any money un
der the 12-cent mileage law, and the
Republican-News, if il had been dis
posed to be honest, could easily have
verified the Banners statement by tho
records at Columbus.

DENMAN's DODGE

Speaking at Columbus Friday night
of last week Attorney General Den
man said II shall take pleasure in
suing Davis and Rogers, Republican
ex-oGlcials, who owe the state about
800 each, and Finley, Democrat, now
in office, who owes the state $1,000"
Why doesn't Attorney General Den
man go ahead and sue instead of talk
ing about it all the time? It is inter
esting to heap him say now that he
will take pleasure in suing Finley, for
that is a confession that he has neg
lected for two years to perform an
official duty If he has the least possi-
Bile ground on which to file suit.
But why does Mr.. Denman single
out Rogers and Davis and Finley, and
keep silent about Laylin and Thomp-
son?
The Howe investigating committee
of the state senate, whose report has
been matter OF official record and
public knowledge for more than two
years, charges that H. C.. Laylin, chair
man of the committee conducting the
campaign for the ticket on which Den
man Is a candidate, Is liable to the
state for $1S,12i,78 on a monthly av-
erage of more than $4,000 of state
funds carried in banks covering a per-
iod of 6 years when Laylin was secre-
tary of state. And the same commit
, tees report iholds that Secretary Of
State Thompson Is liable in like man
ner for $3,274.21
Why doesn't Denman promise to
sue Laylin, Republican eX-oiiiclal, and
Thompson, Republican, now In office,
for the amounts charged against them
by the senate probe committee more
than two years ago? Is 1t because
Laylin Is chairman of the committee
conducting the campaign in which
Denman Is so deeply concerned as a
candidate? Is it because Thompson
shared with Dick In giving George b
Cox 1875 delegates to juggle with In
naming the candidates that were nom
mated by the Columbus convention
this year?
Mr.. Denman's implied confession
In his campaign speeches that he has
so long neglected his official duty Sc
far rs Davis, Rogers and Finley are
concerned is exceeded only by his 81
ience rs to why he did not long age
bring suit against Laylin, the Republl
can secretary of state out of office
and Thompson. the secretary of stat,
In office.
These questions and Denman'i
dodging lead up to the same conclu
sion-if you want to clean hous'
right elect Governor Harmon and hi
entire ticket.

nor Harmon said: my three ap-

items he talks about upon the a'l-

officer in the state house had done
fer years. When the present attorney
general reversed that opinion these
items were promptly repaid. What l
said, AND SAY NOW, Is that this
was not graft any more than Mr..
Harding's overcharges were."
Mr.. Harding said in his campaign
opening speech at Kenton that the
true condition of the state treasury
could not be known until incumbents
changed. Well, since incumbents
changed, and State Treasurer Crea-
mer has been conducting that office,
some very astounding correspondence
has been brought to light, showing
how state deposits were manipulated
by political pull. Many letters evi-

Mr. Harding's trumped-up graft
charges against Democratic state Off.
cials have fallen to pieces. From the
beginning of the campaign Mr.. Hard
ing. his associates on the Republican
ticket and the gop. machine organs,
have been trying to deceive the vot-
ers of Ohio by hurling alleged graft
charges against State Treasurer
Creamer and some of Governor Har-
mons appointees because they fol-
lowed the custom observed for years
by Republican state officials in charg-
ing travelling expenses between their
homes and the capitol, custom found
cd upon an Official opinion given by
former Attorney General John M.
Sheets, Republican, to former State
Dairy and Food Commissioners Horace
Ankeny, also Republican.
This custom prevailed without
question by the former Republican
state auditor, w. d. Guilbert, without
question by the present Republican
state auditor, e. NJ, Fullington, or any
other Republican state official until
the ruling was made by the present
attorney general Mr. Denman, that
the custom was not legal-a ruling
that reversed the official opinion OF
Attorney General Sheets
AS this ruling by Denman was made
about year ago there is reason to
believe that there was political mo-
tive in 1t, inspired by a desire to hang
something onto Democratic officials il
possible.
But the ruling has had this effect.
All the Democratic officials who were
affected by it repaid to the state the
small amounts they had received un-
der the ruling of the former attorney
general, Sheets, WHILE NONE OF
THE REPUBLICAN OFFICIALS AF-
FECTED IN EXACTLY THE SAME
WAY BY MIR. DENMAN'S RULING
HAVE YET PAID BACK ONE CENT
nor has suit been brought against
them by Attorney General Denman to
compel them to pay back.
Mr.. Harding and his associates
have been charging that the repay
ment of these amounts by Democratic
officials Is Confession of graft" They
have not told the people Of Ohio what
kind Of a confession it is for Repub
lican state officials to collect the
same kind Of expenses and REFUSE
TO PAY BACK.
-Four years ago examiners reported
overcharges against Mr.. Harding's
paper, the Marion Star, for official ad
vertising Mr.. Harding refused tt
pay back the amount Of such alleged
overcharges, and two years later sui
was brought to recover them. This
suit is still pending In the courts o
Marion county. AS a newspaper edi
tor, therefore, Mr. Harding Is subiec
to the same kind of criticism whicl
some INSCRIPTIONS Republican papers
have hurled at Governor Harmon'
| appointees.
