State Labor Commissioner Rozelle beard a rumor yesterday that Frank E Ritchie, ebairman of the Middle- of-the-Roard Populist Committee, | contemplated bringing suit against him ae former chairman of the Pop- ulist Committee to obtain something over $1,000 of campaign funds alleg- | ed to be umaccounted for. Mr. Bo-| zelle said he did not believe the suit | would be filed, but if it was he would | not lose any sleep. “Frank Ritchie is trying to attract a little cheap notoriety,” said Mr. Rozelle. If be wants to investigate | campaign funds, why don'the try | and hunt up the source ef the| $12,000 of boodle the Republicans offered me to prevent fusion be- | tween the Populist and Democrats in 1896? Such investigation would prove decidedly interesting. | Eyen if there was some fuods com ing to the Populist State Committee, Frank Ritchie could not sue for and recover the same. Mr. Littell is chairman of the Populist State com- mittee,and not Mr. Ritche. The an side show has vothing more to do with the regular Populist organiza- tion than Mayor Ziegenhein or Abe Slupsky. ‘That old lie about Sam Cook, |chairman of the Demecratic State | central committee, giving me $1,060 has been repeated by the Republi- cans, and so called Populist who are | acting as bellboys all whistle it back- wards.
