Failure of a publisher to comply

i AS you very pertinently remark
In the same issue this statement
of account" was published, it Is
absolutely preposterous to think
for moment that / would enter
into agreement to pay the pub
Usher of the Tacoma Labor Ad-
vocate or any other Insignificant
weekly 81 per inch for advertis-
ing when / could get the same
publicity in daily papers of estl5-
lished worth and circulation for
practically one-half that sum.
For the information of your
;elf submit on separate sheet
/ complete and detailed statement
Of all my expenses. The total
amounts to $41S.60. 1t is true
tho I paid certain little weeklies
each, but that payment IN
,ery instance on my part was
Tor advertising and subscriptions.
This is a statement to which l
will have to swear under the pro-
visions of the charter. For ad-
vertising and subscriptions to his
papers / paid Cameron so and net
pine cent more. However, / did
iccede to his request to go ON his
note for $3.50 at bank, but this
note does not become due for al
most a month yet and it could in
no wise be considered payment for
advertising or subscriptions or
anything else connected with NV
campaign. 1t was simply favor
which I granted Cameron, as /
have scores of other persons need
Ing help and which l expect HIN
TO meet manfully.
The animus behind Cameron's
attack upon me at this time can
be traced to the offices of the II.
r. e P. company, the officers of
which are doing everything IN
treir power to defeat me because
they know that they cannot
handle me If am elected to the
mayoralty of Tacoma. Whether
Cameron is being used as their
tool knowingly or otherwise do
not know. nor do / care. Never
theless / do know that grave sus-
picions regarding Cameron's deal
ings with the T. r. & p. are not
tenable, but his attitude with re-
gard to the T. r. & P. company
is so palrably unreal and trans
parent that anyone who wishes to
ascertain the facts can do so with
but slight effort. Suffice 1t hero
to say that Cameron has been do
ing in the neighborhood of $500
worth of job printing and adver-
using for the t. R. e. P. per
month, obtained but recently
through the personal influence OF
General Manager Dimmock. This
fact is significant when 1t is
known that never before has the
office which Cameron is conducs-
- Jnder lease since Christmas
red any T. r. & p. busin ess
the exception perhaps of
advertisement amounting to
lore than $40 per month de-
the. fact that such business
cen sought time and again.
