Mr.. ]. Fraser Lyon, Attorney Gen
eral, Columbia, S. C.-Dear Sir: Your
letter of this day received.
In reply, noticed in the papers that
Mr.. Rhame had commenced suit
against the State treasurer for March
expenses, and that you had served the
papers upon the State treasurer. 1
took it for granted that you were ad-
vising with Mr.. Stevenson what pro-
cedure Mr.. Rhame was to take. Later,
1 noticed in the papers where proceed
ings had been brought by yourslf to
oust Mr.. Rhame from Office. This pro-
cedure was brought without any con-
sultation whatever with me, and with
out any consultation with or request
from Mr.. Fraser, and 1 again presumed
that you and Mr.. Stevenson were ad-
vising and agreeing upon plan. |,
therefore, employed the Hon. B. L. Alb
ney and the Hon. George R. Rembert
to file a petition with the supreme
court and to take charge of Mr.. Fra
ser's interests in the matter. He (Mr.
Fraser) being the present State bank
examiner and being a State official, l
felt that it was my duty to protect his
interst; and, to be perfectly frank
with you, 1 do not think the proceed
ings which you brought were brought
in the interest of myself or Mr. Fraser,
because everyone knows that when Mr..
Rhame presented his expense account
for March that Mr.. Jennings should
have paid it without word, as he was
most assuredly entitled to his ex-
penses and salary up to April /, 1912,
at which time he was formally remov-
ed from office.
Messrs. Abney and Rembert present
ed petition to the supreme court this
morning-Which petition they present
ed to the court before the receipt of
your letter by me. presume the court
will act thereon, and that they will
allow Mr.. Fraser to come i'll and de-
fend title to his action. This will be
looked after by the attorneys I haze
just mentioned above.
I will, also, place in their hands all
of my reasons for removing MI.
Rhame, the law upon which i relied,
and all Of the original papars, in or
der that they may be Informed and be
able to make thorough Investigation OF
the law and present the same to the
court.
This being my position in the maj
ter, I beg leave to advise that l pre-
sumo that it is unnecessary for me to
furnish you with any facts or law up

Chicago, Aug. 22.-United States
Senator Joseph M Dixon, director
of the Progressive campaign, tonight
declared the campaign expenses of
the Progressives before the Republi-
can National conyention amounted
to less than 100000.
Senator Dixon said the amount Of
money sent by the Progressive or
ganization from its Washington bu-
reau, during this period, had been
grossly exaggerated.
II read the stories about our ex-
penses with considerable amusement,
at first" said Dixon I know that
they had been put into circulation
by the Republican organization but
took them as a joke until | discov-
cred that certain editorial writers
were using these false reports as
the basis for some of their writings.
Outside Of the money contrib,
uted by local leaders in Ohio, Penn
sylyania, Massachusetts, and Illinois
for the primary campaign In those
four states, the entire Roosevelt pre-
convention cost less than $160,0 900
think $155,000 would be a better
figure for the total. The Massachu-
setts Progressive leaders handled
their own campaign The same was
true to greater or less extent in
the other states mentioned.
