Mumper claims too MUCH

mumper Claims too Much
Greeley, Colo, Oct. q, 1912
Hon. j. Max Clark,
Greeley, Colo.
Dear Sir
There fs.n mis-statement in
your letter to the Greeley Tribune un-
der date of Oct. l2, unintentional on
your part no doubt: and in that letter
you argue that no better man for as
sessot can be found in the ranks of any
political party than A. l.. Mumper.
Because believe A. E. Morgan, candi-
date Of the Progressive party, to be
the best man that has been nominated
for assessor, and am not willing that
Mr.. Mumper shall take credit for an
act'he did not perform, am writing
you this letter, copy Of which | shall
furnish the Greeley Tribune and other
papers.
You made the statement in your let
ter that Mr.. Mumper moved the ap-
pointment of the committee which
made an investigation for the tax pay
ers.I This is an error. The undersign.
ed moved the appointment of that com
mittee. and also moved that Mr.. Mum.
per act as chairman. Mr.. Mumper did
not wish to serve. and offered to give
S25. 90 toward the expenses of the COM
mittee instead.
Nh Mumper has had ample time to
correct this error of yours, he has not
done so, but has reprinted your letter
and is circulating it as campaign doc
ument. It is up to Mr.. Mumper now
to put himself right with you and the
public. ! do not wish to detract from
any credit he should have for public
service actually rendered but neither
ne nor the Democratic party should
claim credit for the acts OF individuals
wis were at the time members of
another party.
This whole movement against graft
IN this county has been largely non-po-
liticai any way, and | have no more
sympathy with the effort of the Repub-
lead party to claim all the credit for
its exposure than have for the at.
tempt CT the Democrats to fasten OH
the Republican candidates who assisted
in its exposure the blame for its exist
ence. The taxpayers meeting was non
partisan as was also the grand Jury
and the committee on which you and
Mr.. Mumper served.
To show, too, that Mr.. Mumper is
not the only candidate for assessor who
has a record in connection with the
graft exposure. | wish to remind you
Of the suit H. L. Badger, yourself,
Jas. &. Graham and others filed against
the county commissioners on May l3,
1903, many months before the taxi pay.
ers committee was appointed, on ac-
count of the bridge across the Poudre
cutoff north of Greeley. One of your
associates in that suit was Mr.. A. L.
Morgan. Now, while Mr. Morgan in.
sists tha, he should not make political
capita. ont of bis part in that suit. !
think it proper to mention it in view
OF claims being made by and for the
opposing candidate.
Yours respectfully,
John V. Crone.

i'll Sunday March 10, but his condition
was not regarded as serious until week
ago, when he became seriously i'll and
was taken to Springfield hospital. His
mother was in almost constant attend
ance during the worst part of his illness,
but she found time to send daily bulletins
to an anxious bride in Brattleboro who,
following her secret marriage. returned
to her work as stenographer for the firm
of Durham Bros. of Brattleboro. During
the last two days Mr.. Coolidge improved
to such an extent that his mother left
Tuesday for Brattleboro to pay short
visit to her daughter-i law.
at was through this visit that the
friends of Mr.. and Mrs Coolidge in
Brattleboro received their first intimation
OF the marriage. Inadvertently Mrs.
Coolidge senior dropped hint of the
object of her visit and an examination
of the records of the Brattleboro town
clerk confirmed the report.
Mr.. Coolidge is "a years old and Is
employed in the factory ONCE OF the
Hendee Manufa curing company. where
he has worked since coming 10 this city
in October. He Is well liked. and re-
spected by his fellow employees in the
Hendee plant and is regarded by the
officials of the company as an able and
conscientious worker. At the SPRING
field hospital yesterday 1t was reported
that he was greatly improved and that
he would be discharged from there with
in few days"

BELLOWS FALLS NEWS
A Lively Mail clerk In His s1st Year.

A Lively Mall Clerk In His 9tst Year.
A. M. Kendall, the veteran mail clerk
running through here between Burling-
ton and Boston, was for many years a
resident here and took an active part
in the affairs of the local Baptist
church. Monday evening when he reach
ed Burlington on his regular run ne
found a pleasant surprise in store for
him. 1t was his S0th birthday ami
versary and his friends on the mail runs
on his route and over the Boston e. AL
bany route had sent to his Burlington
home MANY floral membranes of the
anniversary among them 81 carnations
and IA white roses.
Mr.. Kendall began railroading in 1860,
running from Bellows Falls to Fitch
burg as a brakeman on the old Chesh-
ire road. He later worked several years
for the express company as a messen-
ger and as early as 1869 began his SER
vice for the government as mail clerk
between mere and Springfield, Mass.
This run he had many years, still re-
siding here. He has had various runs in
New England but has been permanently
on the Boston and Burlington run since
1880, except about four years following
Cleveand's first administration. lie was
reinstated under President Harrison.
His record of 81 years of railroading,
the last 80 as being in the mail service,
is probably unequalled, as well as the
record of man of so years of such
vigor as to be able to continue so long
a run and do satisfactory service. He
always greets his old Bellows Falls
friends with much hearty pleasure from
his car door each day.

Increase in Paper Makers Wages.

The International Paper company dur
ing the past week have issued a circular
letter to their employees here and else
where informing them of a voluntary
increase in pay to take effect May l.
amounting to about $3.50 per month to
every employe in their standard payroll
digest. This includes both day and hour
workers and is very pleasing to the 5oO
or 600 local men. The minimum wage
is to be for common laborers 20 cents
per hour for day work, while those
working on tours received "a cents and
upwards. Expert workmen receive
much larger pay. and it is probably true
that at Bellows Falls the average wage
is slightly larger than the average paid
workmen at other points in New Eng
land
