s35,ooo FOR THE BULL
MOOSE CAMPAIGN.

Some weeks ago Henderson Martin
gave out an interview calling atten-
tion to the fact that State Chairman
Dolley of the Republican committee
had assessed the state employees for
a contribution to the campaign fund.
This assessment was two and one.
half per cent Of the annual salaries
Of the employees Of the state. II this
had all been collected it would have
amounted to more than $4,000 for
the Bull Moose campaign fund.
Mr.. DOlley attempted to deny this,
in a haf-hearted way, but since then
the committee has been pressing the
matter of collecting this assessment
at the reformatory at Hutchinson and
at the 0sswatomie asylum, and in
fact, everywhere they thought there
was a chance to force a collection.
Assessing state employees has been
outlawed' by the federal government
and by most Of the state government
but here the Bull MoOsers still seem
to think it is the proper .thing-that
even the poorest stenographer work
ing the state house must pay her $15
or $50 and even the janitors who
barely earn enough on which to exist,
should pay their share to help elect
two millionaires, Stubbs and Capper,
to office.
It's up to the voters Of the state to
decide, on November 5, whether or
not they care to see this thing con-
tinued..
