The History of Arthur Rich's Con-
nection With Senator Page

The Rutland Herald on Monday, Sept published the fol-
following affidavit made by Arthur NJ Rich. of Boston,
Mass formerly of Newport VT This affidavit contains the
plain simple story of Arthur NJ Rich former clerk for Sena
tor Carroll Page listed in the congressional directories oil
1910 as Senate messenger, $500
The affidavit forth straightforward story OF Rchs
employment by William S. Bean clerk of the Senate Commit
tee on Standards Weights and Measures of which Senator
Page was then chairman, at salary of $40 month"; 500
month which he required turn to Senator Page
through the senator's private enographer Miss Seymour
(Ar Bean has since died)
According the best of Rch knowledge and belief this
money was appropriated by Senator Page and not applied to
any other purpose Rich also that the checks sent him
in Vermont turned Senator Page in full and that
as result working half pay Washington and without
compensation in the he obliged to seek other
employment

DONALD H. SCRIBNER.

Concerning Scribner and his relations
to Senator Page, The Herald properly
SAYS: "Scribner is a man of good stand
ing, fine personal character and has been
in confidential relations with Senator
Page for number of years"
Senator Page gladly admits that Dom
aid H. Scribner has for great many
years occupied a confidential place with
/ him Congress adjourned on the 4th
day of March, 1911 Rich admits that
his employment ceased at that time.
Senator Page no longer had need of a
clerk in Washington, and he proceeded
as was his right to appoint a clerk who
could be with him at Hyde Park, his
home, and give such attention to his
duties as the senator might require. He
right in doing this, and he owes no apol-
ogy therefor to Arthur NJ. Rich the Allen
NJ. Fletcher Senatorial Club, or the Rut-
land Herald.
Casual reading of the Bean letter
shows what every senator and congress-
man knows to be more or less COM
mon practice in Washington. The whole
story is one calculated to blind the peo-
pie, to shake confidence in Senator Pages
integrity and to assassinate character.
In the alleged interview of Rich, The
Herald makes Rich say that "To the
best of his (Rich's) knowledge and belief
this money was appropriated by Senator
Page and not applied to any other pur-
pose" This is deliberate falsehood. as
is clearly shown in the Bean letter. The
Herald makes Rich say that ''he never
had any correspondence with anyone re-
garding the division of the pay" In the
light of the Bean letter, this is of course
another deliberate falsehood.
The Herald makes Rich say: Il went
to Washington in good faith expecting
to receive the full pay; in view of the
Bean letter and in view of Rich's own
letters of March Is and April %, above
given, this must be characterized as
deliberate falsehood, either by The Her.
aids correspondent or by Mr.. Rich.
The Herald quotes Mr.. Rich as saying;
when | was summoned to Senator
Pages Office and told to give up half of
my salary to Miss Seymour, | could
hardly believe my ears That such an
incident ever took place, in view of the
Bean letter, is utterly ineonceivable

For weeks information has been com
ling 70 senator Page that there had been
prepared in the Office Of Williams 8
Smith at Newport political headquar
tiers of Allen NJ. Fletcher in Orleans coun
tyl an affidavit By former employe o
the senator. Mr. Arthur NJ. Rich,
Senator Page in his political adver
tising last month, made mention OF this
affidavit showing that it was a part Of
well-laid plan to discredit him-Page-
and that il emanated from the same Of
flee as did the Lamoille County Saving.
Bank & Trust Co. attack.
II would never do to print this tissue
OF falsehood, misrepre. and in,
situation after its Newport parentage
had been exposed to the public. An.
other affidavit therefore had to be Sc
cured
The Rutland Herald under date OF
September I under a five-column front
page heading, gives the Rich affidavit
and The Herald's story. Someone has
well said that "a chain is no stronger
than its weakest link and if this line
OF reasoning should be applied to this
unique concoction it loses all its force, if
it ever had any.
1t is exceedingly fortunate in this cam
paign, where the wrecking OF character
seems to be the chief business OF the
Allen NJ. Fletcher Club that Mr.. Rich's
original letters and a copy OF the replies
thereto have been preserved, for no bold
er or more deliberate attempt at char
acter assassination was ever perpetrated
upon a citizen of Vermont than this
Rich affidavit secured by the Rutland
Herald.
When Senator Page went to the Sen
ate in 1908, he found there Vim. s. Bean,
who had been the secretary of both Red
field Proctor and John W. Stewart.
Senator Page was then entitled to a
secretary and clerk, and he appointed
VIM. S. Bean
Mr. Bean was from Newport, Yer
mont, and living at that place was one
Arthur NJ. Rich Mr.. Bean suggested
that Senator Page secure Rich's scrv-
ices as stenographer and that he also
bring from his home Office at Hyde Park
another stcnographer, assuring the sen
ltor that he could handle his work better
il that way and that these two stenog-
raphers would gladly work for the allow
ince made for clerk or messengter
Without further Introductory remarks
there is presented herewith the letter
press copy Of William S. Beans letter,
which tells a story, not written in the
stress of political campaign, not writ
EN- when it was ever expected that there
would be need of its publicity. Even
without comment, Senator Page feels

Sell Narcotic DRUGS in CHICAGO?

Kenosha.- William Michael, twenty
years Of age and a Chicago man,
made statement to the local. Of
ficials declaring that narcotic drugs
we're being sold without prescription
in Chicago. Federal officials were at
once called from Chicago to secure Che
confession of Michael, who alleged
that he had been buying drugs in guam
titles at Chicago stores for more than
year. The man is thought to be near
death and he declared to the officials
that he desired to make the statement
so that he could aid in preventing the
drug habit being fastened on other
boys and men. Michael was taken with
commissions in a Kenosha theater. Il
is admitted that physicians attending
him have administered cocaine in or
der to keep him alive. Michael declared
that he would be able to give the fed
eral officials dates and names of people
who were selling the drugs in defiance
of the federal statutes.
