STEVENSON GOT THE MONEY.


During the past week since the expose the
esve chairman Mr. H. Stevenson has, through his lumber
interests muced Carbon county at the rate Of $500
all lumber furnished the county during the reign Of
Sharp and Hamilton the bull commissioners the apoogss
Stevenson INDUCED In all sorts Of contoons and qurm
ing effort 10 make plausible explanation which might a
peal 10 the taxpayers for such unprecedented out
RACES VOTERS THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EXPLANATION
THAT CAN BE MADE OF THESE TRANSACTIONS. STEVEN
SON GOT YOUR MONEY He got II by charging than $500
thousand in Of current local prices for like materials
he obtained II because Joe Sharp and Bill Hamilton permit
ted him obtain IT, These facts cannot be denied because they
absolutely fortified by the public records and by the claims
by and paid to Mr. Stevenson Mr. Stevenson drew the
cash The bull commissioners borrowed
ting approximately 0o0O0 and Mr. Stevenson has had
10 discount cent The most outrageous faehoods
have been circulated by his apoogts attempt TO show that
other lumber houses have maintained equally high prices their
relations with the county We have asserted that the other um
Der houses by written bids offered TO furnish the material
the county per thousand but that the commissioners
directed the materials be purchased from Stevenson and Steven
permitted charge the county Of $4,000
per thousand for the identical materials THESE ARE FACTS
They be successfully denied because in Carbon
county the clerks office and the claims and be
nexcusabe negligence the part the
msone manifest In permitting the county to be mucted by
this Stevenson Of the republican democratic nom
had been guilty such conduct blatant progressive
In the county would call them thieves We leave to the
10 form their estimate of the preensons Of c. H. Stevenson
and characterize his conduct padding these claims knowing
he did that they than $500 In Of
charges thousand feet of material purchased by the
county.
Stevenson may bluff and buster and his friends may hand
buncombe from until election day. but the fact remains
the that between himself county progressive chairman Joe
Sharp and Bill Hamilton County progressive commones) the
treasury has been haefu looted and voter interested
IN obtaining honest and economical administration of county
affairs duty bound 10 exemnate his political machine the
coming election Three four small items picked out by the
Carbon County News effort show that Stevenson has
at all times charged the excessive prices complained about but the
very claims cited by the Carbon County News demonstrate that
exactly what have charged him with doing
to padding aggregate Of his bills by adding TO his
NAL prices than $500 per thousand The explanation Of the
News when analysed establishes accusation beyond the per-
adventure Of a doubt
The Carbon County News lies deliberately when says
Weeer Lumber company did the county business and
that that company demanded cash. The lumber for which
Stevenson charged 5000 per thousand be laid
