Sources of Perkins Millions Here is the story of the Perkins wealth: To start with Mr. Perkins made some of his millions by capital- \izing thin blue air into millions of dollars of real money. He made more millions by getting a monopoly of wire nail manufactur- ing plants and forcing the American farmers to pay $3.20a keg for wire nails that were sold before the organ- ization of the trust for from $1.25 to $1.50a keg. (See page 8 Stanley re- port.)

We, The Democratic Central Com- mittee of Bates County, in session, August 13th, 1912, having seen and examined the Record of the County Clerk for the date and time referred to in the Republican-Press, of August 9th, 1912.—That expenses for Regis- tering Drainage Bonds paid by R. B. Campbell and per diem and milage paid Judges Campbell, Wolfe and Fix as members of the County Court were legal and proper, and were not paid on September 25th, but were paid on September 15th, 1911, for services la on the said September 15th, That on September 25th, 1911, the County Board of Appeals on Mer- chants Statements met and that the per diem and milage paid on that date are correct and were legally due said members. The statement that the items in the first charge were for services rend- ered, and to reimburse for money ex- pended on the 15th day of September, 1911, are substantiated by the records in the County Clerk’s office and the receipt of the State Treasurer on file in said County Clerk’s office. We further find that the charges in said paper that the County Court had misused or misappropriated county funds is absolutely false.
