Where the People
 May Have a Hearing
Says He Received No Fee

To the Editor:
 My attention has been called 10 your editorial in the Sunday mornings Re publican, on page four of that issue. Whereln said editorial says amongst other things, "'rhe situation has be- come such in the campaign that the Democratic politicians have found it necessary to hire a special pleader for the Democrats, and MT. Bullard has ac- cepted that office. He is acting not as loyal Democrat, not as a disinterest- ed, public spirited citizen, but as a lawyer. MT. Bullard's well-paid for services are always properly available to those who have the price. He is known as a most expert defender-of corporations and of persons charged with serious crimes. It his his business to forestall adverse verdicts."
 While thanking you for the implied compliment to my legal ability | uls- tinctly resent the statement therein that the Democratic politicians have found 1t necessary to hire a special pleadef for the party Mir. BulIard has ac- cepted that office" Also the statement: He is acting not as a loyal Democrat, not as a disinterested public spirited citizen, but as lawyer" Those state ments made in your editorial are false in every respect. have not been paid, AAiCNAAs UT AlANAitNllgf d cent Dy any person to make the speech that I made last night, or any speech that l intend to make throughout the state on the land department issue. To the contrary, I have refused to permit either the Democratic Central commit tee or any other person, either direct ly or indirectly, to pay my expenses, but intend to pay them out of my own pocket.
 It is true that I have represented corporations. and that I have repre- scented persons charged with serious crimes; and that I have also repre- sented Thomas E. Campbell. but none of these parties influenced me one iota in an statement that I make from the stump during a political campaign. They all paid me for my services and I gave them such value received as could at the time; but that did no; give them aTy further call on my serv- ices during .iiny political campaign. cannot understand your accusation that T am not acting as loyal Democrat thought my record on that was pretty clear. The only criticism that could be directed against my loyalty to tho Democratic party is that l put Ton Campbell temporarily in office foul years ago.
 In view os the fact that have giver you my peIsonal assurance that I an not being paid for the speeches that
 am making during this campaign. bu that I am making them because I re sent MT. Campbells unfounded attacl on the Democratic party and on indi viduals in the Democratic party. I trus you will immediately retract the state ments that I have objected to in you editorial
 1 have always had a high regard fo your sense of fairness, and therefor deem that all that will be necessar. is to call your attention to the fac that you are mistaken. Despite the
 fact that am a lawyer. there are cer
 tain classes of lawsuits that I am no anxious to handle in my office. anon
 others, libel suits: but unless you re
 tract the statements made about m
 to which I object, I shall, of course, b
 under the necessity of calling upo
 you to make proof of the same in
 court of law. That is to say l sha
 require you to make proof that I ar
 being paid for the speeches that I ar
 making during this campaign, or tha I am receiving any compensation there
 for have not yet even received com
 pensation from Mir. Moeur for repre-
