The Butler Weekly Cimes. VOL. XXVI. ‘REPUBLICANS USE PUBLIC’S EMPLOYES. Cowherd Reiterates Charge That Campaign Literature is Paid for by People. Washington, June 11.—Represent- ative Cowherd, chairman of the Dem- ocratic Congressional Committee, sent out from headquarters to-night a statemon’ in reply to Secretary Shaw’s Wilmington, Del., speech. In this the Democratic chairman reiter- ates the charge that Government clerks are engaged in preparing Re- publican campaign materlal, and he says: “The speech of the Secretary of the Treasury made at Wilmington June 6 was of special interest to Demo- crats in at least two particulars. “The story has been current around Washington for weeks that a corpse of clerks working under the head of the Department of Commerce, the future chairman of the National Re- publican Committee, were engaged in preparing: campaign literature for use by the Republican party. In fact, one New York paper published a statement a few days ago giving somewhat in detail the number of clerks engaged upon that work and stated that the Republicancampaign text-book was belng prepared at an expense of about $20,000 to the Na- tional Treasury. “TI was very loath to belive this re- port, but the following statement from Secretary Shaw’s speech seems to give credence to the story. He is reported to have said: “TI am contident, however, that before the campaign proceeds very far therg wvill be furnished from high- est possible authority in the United States well-authenticated data show- ing that the average wages have in- creased in larger proportion than the average articles of ordinary household consumption.’ “The Secretary evidently recognizes the pressing need of the Republican party for data of that kind, and while expert statisticians may be able to furnish figures tocorroborate almost any theory they will be hard pressed to find an. excuse in law or good conscience for the employment of Government clerks to prepare campaign material. “Weare told repeatedly that the entire Cabinet will take the stump for the presidential ticket, If the other members are as unguarded in their disclosures of party practices as ths Secretary of the Treasury the Democratic party will certainly wel- come them to the stump at the ear- liest opportunity.” ‘ Startling Evidence.

Judgment in Cases of Julits: Lehman and Emil Hartman Of St. Louis Affirmed, Robert M. Snyder’s Verdict Was Reversed and Remanded by the Supreme Court. Jefferson City, Mo., June 14.—The supreme court this morning affirmed the judgment in the St. Louis boodle cases against Julius Lehman and Emil Hartman, who were sentenced to the penitentiary for seven and six years, respectively. Both of the men are ex-members of the house of dele- gates. They are the first two of nineteen convicted boodlers whose sentences have been affirmed. AFTER A BIG PIE, Lehman and Hartman were con- victed for their connection with the St. Louis lighting franchise grab. The “pie” was $47,500, and the “pie was cut’ at Lehman’s house, each of the nineteen delegates who voted for the bill in what was known as the house “combine,” receiving $2,500. Ed, Butler, of St. Louis, who was accused of giving the bribe in the lighting deal, was acquitted in Ful- ton only a few months ago. R. M. SNYDER'S CASE. The case of Robert M. Synder, who was sentenced to five years in tho panitentlary for*bribery in the sub- urban railway deal, was reversed and remanded. Snyder is out on a bond of $25,- 000, The offense for which he was con- victed was securing the passage in the house of delegates of a bill allow- ing the street railways of St. Louis to consolidate. In this connection he is said to have spent $250,000. Of this amount $145,000 was deposited in the Continental National bank of St. Louis, to be paid to the order of cer- tain persons. It was charged that Snyder deposited this money. The franchise he secured was later sold to the United Railways compa- ny for $1,000,000, All the street car lines in St. Louis are operated under it. Snyder pleaded the statute of limitations of three years as a resi- dent of Missouri, while the state con- tended that he was a resident of New York city and thas the statute of limitations did not run in his favor. The supreme court decides that Snyder was entitled to plead the statute of limitations. The opinion of the court was written by Judge Gantt. An instruction asked by Snyder’s attorneys, that he was a resident of Missouri, was not allowed to go to the jury. Driven to Desperation. at an out of the way place, remote!

Par- ker will be the choice of the Demo- cratic party for the presidency. Mr. Harrity declared that he was taking little active part in politics, as his entire time was occupied with busi- ness affairs. He asserted that neither Bryan nor Hearst, nor both of them united, would control one-third of the convention. “Judge Parker will be the nominee” decleres Mr. Harrity, “according to those ia whose judgment I have the utmost confidence. He represents the conservative business interests. As conditions now exist in the race, he is far ahead of any other candi- date, and unless changes are rapid will receive the nomination. Men- tion of Gorman, Francis orany other person es the heir of the Parker strength is altogether premature.” “You ask of vice-presidential tim- ber,” continued Mr. Harrity; ‘‘well, that depends largely upon the Re- publicans. It is customary to select the running mate for president from either a southern or a pivotal state, and this custom will probably be foilowed this year.
