REPLY TO ATTORNEY CRIMSON.
Mistatements of Crimson Shown Up
In Cleary's Open Letter

Have you read my circular letter?
Every statement contained in that
letter { believe to be true. The facts
were taken on the records in the clerk
of courts office, the proceedings of the
county commissioners, the sworn
statement of Treasurer Seeley and
Auditor Hamilton, published in all
official papers, I mailed copy of that
letter to G. Crimson, the present States
Attorney on Oct. 7th, 1912. In that
letter I challenged debate. I INDUCED
in no personalities and attempted to
discuss the conduct of the States At.
.torney's Office, based on the records.
1 received copy of Mr.. Grimson's book
of twenty three pages, yesterday after
noon. In the limited time in which to
prepare reply and in the limited space
the newspapers can give me before the
next public alton, I cannot cover the
twenty three pages in detail. Nearly
all of the alleged statements of fact
in the Crimson book. are personal
illusions and gross misstatements of
fact. AS to personalities. I assume that
the public have no interests. On page
eight of the book he has the following
item: Witnesses in District Court

Miss Helen J. Sullivan has no opposi-
tion this fall in her candidacy for re-
election as county superintendent of
schools. Can recori of two years ad-
ministration of the duties of that Office
be given a higher endorsement. 1t is
one of the Offices that certainly should
be kept as far away from the lines of
politics as possible. Miss Sullivan has
more than made good and the running
against her didn't look good to the
festive republican Office seekers.

WHITE TO GET A MATCH
WITH OWEN MORAN NEXT

Los Angeles, Cal, May 13.-What
Jack White did TO Frankie Conley has
placed the Chicagoan stronger than
ever in the esteem of the fistic colony
here, and as a favorite he is second
only to their local idol, Joe Rivers. The
punishment administered by White
was more than the game little Keno
sha youngster took in matches against
Rivers and Kilbane. AS a result of
Whites achievement there is a popular
demand for another match between
Rivers and White. This match can
not be considered at the present time,
owing to the Rivers and Wolgast
agreement, but Promoter Tom Nc
Carey has wired for owen Moran to
meet White here June 5.

Block, However-Dope Says He
Is Best Ever Seen Here.

Bull McCleary. the Muscatine crap
pier who first attained distinction be-
fore a tri-city audience when he threw
Harry Bronden in two straight falls,
realizes that when he tackles Jesse
Slaymaker at the Illinois theatre Fri
day night he is going up against the
real thing. There are mat fans in the
three cities who insist that Slaymaker
is the best middleweight that has ap-
peared here this season, not even ex-
cepting Carl Brown or Gus Papas.
SEES MATCHES AHEAD.
McCleary will accordingly take no
chances with the Albany farmer. He
is out to win this bout, as he sees an
other match ahead with Papas, the
conqueror of Carl Brown. A victory
over Papas would mean another bout
for Bull with Brown and perhaps a
chance with Champion Young" Mil
Ter. That explains why McCleary is
digging in for all he is worth to get in
shape, and as he showed in his tilt
with Brondell that he had improved
wonderfully, it is safe to assert re will
be in the pink.

The other big event, between Ionic
Page and Kid 'Sharkey of Chicago, is
exciting almost as much attention as
