That campaign yarn you bring up
about Mr.. Lundg re1 is new to me,
and / do not believe you have any
foundation for making any such as
sertion.
Your next query IS: "Why did
you try to make the farmers assess
ed for Judicial Ditch No. 81 pay
your team hire in addition to your
10 cents per mile mileage when you
inspected that ditch5?" My answer
Isl did not try, AID this charge is
one. Of your mis- statements.
Your statement that I claim
credit for the s2500.O0 appropriation
for the Oslo bridge. is false and mis-
leading. I never did claim that I
got; that appropriation for Oslo, al
SO your statement that I opposed
said appropriation is also false and
misleading.
You ask me if ! ever repaid the
County the amount it paid to Mr.
Morck for indexine. I say No. I had
settled with Mr.. Morck more than q
year before he presented this bill
and that bill was never a legal
charge against the county. This is
one Of the assertions you made ir
the fall Of 1905, when YOU tried sc
hard to elect Mr.. Morck Clerk Of
Court. | answered your charge al
that time, but lou refused to pub.
lish my answer. in your paper.
One of the other papers published
my answer, and neither Mr.. Morck
nor yourself has ever made any den
ial Of my claim.
You say I voted for the combine
bid for county printing in 1911 ant
1918, and against in 1912 and 1914
You can have it that way if 20,
like, even if you are wrong.
You also ask how many Crane
Plain farmers had to pay double
school taxes for 1906 when I wa
County Auditor, because of m!
laundering. This is another Of you
malicious assertions. This was =:
clerical error bv one Of the clerks i,
the Office. While levving schoo
taxes in the Town of Grand Plain
the clerk had the correct amounts
but entered them up against thu
wrong parties in a few cases on on,
page Of the tax b book. They pait
the taxes and I reimbursed every
one that had paid more than the,
should. It was their gain and m.
loss. They know it and have bee1
satisfied. q ~,
l. Now, I have answered all tn
1squestions in your letter, and believ
as you. say, that both yourself. ;. an,
the public are entitled to the facts
It is now up to you to,s-pdblish ::thi
in. full both the contents ysof you
1letter, and: my answer to. the same.
>aEiNow Mr.. Stevens, when you. writ
your: comments. ON my answer t.

which youa were a. member cut dow

Why you could not defeat the Cler
