necessary. it shall be first submitted
to the commissioners The sheets
which were furnished under this item
required rule and figure work and the
price was fixed by the Commissioners
and was ordered put down in the
minutes. The minutes of the Board
Of Commissioners should show that
they agreed to pay $1,000 for this
item and we do not believe that Pop
bottle Jack forgot about it as in the
case Of the agreement with Joe DOlin.
The Producers News furnished the
$50 Memorandum Of Distribution of
taxes for exactly the pnce agreed
upon, not a penny more.
Items No. 3 and 4. For 5000 let
terheads for the Sheriff the Producers
News received S24.30 Under the
printing contract which was assumed
By the Peoples Publishing Company
last Oct. there is no provision for
lotterheads Of the quality which is
generally required by the officials and
Joe Dolin knew that at the time he
submitted his bid. These letterheads
were furnished and billed for as half
sheets, printed one side and the con-
tract calls for a price of $11.50 for
the first thousand and S6.4O for each
additional thousand for these items.
Figure this over and you will find that
there is no trace of graft in these.
This also applies to item No. 5.
Item No 6. 500 perforated sheets.
We furnished these to Sheridan CoCn-
ty for $3.50. If the pill peddlers done
as much work as is required for this

Item No. T. This is a hum-dinger.
The fakirs try to tell you that 1000
Manila Envelopes of the size and
quality furnished by the Producers
News costs only $3.50. We will pur-
chase all such envelopes that the
prune peddlers can sell for that price.
The County Purchasing Agent agreed
on Z cents apiece for these envelopes
before they were ordered and he re-
marked that Sheridan County used to
pay 10 cents apiece for them. On
that basis the Producers News saved
the county $4,000. Where is there
any graft in this?
Item No. 8. The pilster got his
wires crossed on this item. Evident
~ they were too anxious to lie about
the Producers News and its manages
ment when they got to this point
1850 envelopes were printed for Sher-
idan county and the charges were
only $3.50. No printer in the United
States would do this work at that
price. The Peoples Publishing Co. re-
ceived only its agreed price, accord
ing to its contract.
The 9th and last item contains an
allegation that the Producers News
received SLIGO too much for printing
1000 A 101 Receipts for the County
Treasurer. Again these liars got
their wires crossed. 1000 Originals,
1000 Duplicates and 1000 Triplicates
were printed, perforated, gathered
and bound in books of so complete
For this work the Producers News
received $3.50 which is just about
half of what this work has brought
to previous county printers.
Sheridan County is indeed FORUM
ate IN being able to get its printing
delivered at such low prices.
Out Of all the lies that could be
concocted by the gamblers and crooks
the best they could do was to accuse
the Producers News of getting S13055
out of all the printing it has delivered
to Sheridan County during the past
five months. This amount would not
make up the loss at one sitting of
''the Knight of the Green Table" nor
would it be sufficient to raise the ante.
