colleges Of the state In all these cases
the school receiving the body paid trans
portation expense on the basis OF $40
for bodies from Julietta, s. from the
poor asylum and SI.JO from the City
hospital. said amounts being paid 10
a. c. Whiteside on delivery.
We find numerous cases where the
body Of the deceased was turned over
to relatives for interment in other GENE
teries In accordance with their wishes
"'In some of these cases the relatives
have paid the funeral expenses. but the
county paid the contract price of a
pauper- burial without knowledge Of the
payment by the relatives, and the rela-
tiyes had no knowledge OF the payment
Of the county,
"On. Sept. %, 1919, Whiteside was con
victed in the Marion criminal court for
presenting false claims and was sentenced
to serve from two to fourteen years in
the state reformatorv. where he was re-
ceived on Sept. %, 1919.
"On April II. 1920. with the written
consent of the republican judge Of the
Marion criminal court. and with the con
sent OF the republican prosecuting at
torney, he was given a temporary parole
by Gov. Goodrich for q period Of FIVE
days. I have previously publicly stated
that he was paroled It should be I'M
derstood that his parole was temporary.
Under date of March q, 1920, Mr..
Shideler, the republican superintendent
of the state reformatory, wrote a letter
to Gov. Goodrich, asking that the sen
tence of this man Whiteside be COM
Inuted to from one to fourteen years, ana
in that letter, which / have seen, he said,
IN part:
HEALTH not GOOD
ENOUGH TO SERVE TIME!
81 would not recommend parole at
this time but Communication of sentence to
read one to fourteen years, that he might
be released next September as this would
be punishment enough for him and per-
haps he would leave here in better phys
ical condition than he would IL allowed
70 remain longer, on account Of his
nervousness from confinement and the
disgrace of his crime
''If am elected prosecuting attorney 7
will not consent to the Communication of
this mans sentence nor viii l consent
to his parole.
81 claim that the republican machine
is responsible for the acts of its ap-
pointees. 1t is responsible for the acts
Of Whiteside. 1t is chargeable with the
misery and the sorrow that crept in the
hearts of those suffering mothers when
they found that the graves Of their babies,
where they had wept, contained the re-
mains Of dog. The appointment of
Whiteside is an act for which the voters
Of Marion county, and especially the
thousands of good women, will hold the
republican machine responsible
I'VE elect our officers for the purpose
of carrying out the business of the coun-
ty. II Whiteside can be paroled for a
vacation of five days, no matter what the
excuse, then any other prisoner of the
state can be paroled for the same reason.
This is one of the instances showing
that this republican machine of clean
politics and good government has cast
shame upon the fair name of this com
munfty and during this campaign I will
call to the attention of the voters other
instances showing the misplaced conf
dence Of the people,"
