ARCHIBALD SAYS
BARBER DENIES 1T
Attorney General in Letter Disclaims
Responsibility for Statement IN
Liquor Raid Story.

Editor of The Reformer:
In your issue of the Sth inst. is print
ed an account of the recent liquor
raid in Bennington. In that ac-
count is the following statement:
,t-Several weeks ago complaints
reached Governor Graham that wide
open traffic in booze was being conduct
ed Il by persons not holding licenses
and he turned the matter over to At
torney General Barber. The latter
called the attention of State 8 Attor-
new Frank Archibald to- the situation
land suggested that it be cleaned up. -
Upon my calling Mr. Barber s atten-
tion to this statement he, under date
of July 18th, wrote to me a letter as
follows: "iYour letter of the 18th inst.
regarding liquor prosecutions in con-
nection with the raids made against
the clubs in Bennington received, and
contents noted. Replying, | beg to
state that l am not responsible for tile
publication in the newspaper; there
certainly is no claim on my part that
| have ever had any talk with you re-
| garding the conditions at these clubs
in Bennington"
In addition to this Attorney General
Barber on the 18th inst., in the pres
ence of State 8 Attorney Allen Martin
of Essex Junction, and myself, said
that he had never spoken or writer
to me about the selling or furnishing
of liquor in Bennington, either by clubs
or licensed dealers, and that he had no
made any request of me for the prose
lcution of either And / declare tina
he had never requested or suggeste,
tsuch action by me.

WILkERSoN WITHDRAWS.
Recalls His Application For Admission
to Bar Without Explanation.

Des Moines. Sept, eli. \. Wilker-
son. Red Oak and Nillisca detective.
yesterday withdrew his application for
admission to the bar.
The question of his admission was
to have been determined by the SUI
preme court next Monday. He gave no
explanation of his action in withdraw
ing his application beyond stating that
he did so with the understanding that
it would not prejudice his chances in
case he should decide to make another
application in the future.
Wilkerson will now be ont Of the run
ming as a candidate for county attorney
of Montgomery county. He was nomi-
mated for that Office at the primary by
the voters of that county, but the Iowa
law provides that no man may act as
county attorney here unless he has
been duly and legally admitted to the
practice OF law in the courts of the
state.
wilkerson filed his application for
admission in the spring and went about
making his campaign for nomination as
county attorney in anticipation of his
being admitted on the strength Of his
having at one time practiced law in
Texas.
The law governing such cases in
Iowa provides that the application must
be passed upon by the attorney gen.
eral of state Attorney General H. NJ.
Havner objected to WiIkerson's admis-
sion on the ground that the latter's
moral characer was not what that Of
an attorney should be.
In the meantime, Wilkerson was ar
rested with a woman in an Ottumwa
hotel, later being Indicted for con-
sriracy to commit an offense against
pubic morals. The trial of this case
Wal to have taken place yesterday OF
the present week but was postponed
ard may now go over to the Septem-
Der term of court.
