Ben Scherck is a mighty fine man, I believe if the people give him their support he will make a good commissioner. He is a clean man, progressive and up- to-date, and is worthy of your support and your con- fidence. As against Jack E. Scott the clothing man, the people should not be slow in making up their minds who they want as their commissioner. There is no comparison between the two men. Mr. Scherck should have the united support of the Republican party and the universal support of the people at the polls on Nov, 4th. Ben and myself agreed before the primary that we would support the one nominated. I believe Ben would have kept his word, and I know I shall keep mine. It was my desire, and I so stated in a letter to Mr. G. R. Hagens, the state committeeman, to-conduct a clean and gentlemanly campaign, and one which would befit the dignity of the office, and maintain harmony in the ranks of the Republican party. I did so until the unfair methods of the morning newspaper, aided and abetted by one Charles Anda, made this im- possible, when I defended myself as best I could with- in the short time permitted. It will be noticed that the newspaper did not have the decency to pull its stuff until Sunday and Monday, when it would have two issues to the other paper's one, and when I would not have time to dig through the records because the Courthouse is closed on Sun- day. Anassassin always fires from ambush and slinks away under cover. It will be taken into consideration that Mr. Anda did not come out with any statement until election morning, and then the publication of the Herald containing his article was held up until 7:30 in the morning, only an hour and a half before the polls opened, which made refutation impossible. This act is in keeping with the character of the man. I care nothing for the office as such. Although the opportunity for service to my fellow-men appeals to me strongly, it is a financial burden and the exact- ing duties and tremendous responsibilities which it im- poses are a drain upon the resources of any man who tries to fill the office conscientiously. But I do care for thé good opinion of my fellow- citizens, and I shall not rest until the people are set right upon the charges made in the campaign, This I shall do if it costs me every dollar and every ounce of energy I possess. Mr. Anda’s animosity toward me dates from the time when he and his abstract business were request- ed to cease operating at county expense and were made to vacate rooms in the Courthouse in order that the space might be devoted to Public business. The founty paid his light bill, his water bill, furnished him heat and power FREE for many years, and old Charlie was naturally sore when he was separated from the graft and the State Highway department given the space he occupied. He now occupies quarters on county property, which HE AS COUNTY COMMIS- SIONER LEASED TO HIMSELF as an individual, and has a five-year lease at nothing a year. That’s the reason Charlie didn’t want me in office. He was afraid that five year lease would be cancelled. Then again Charlie is trying to put over a scheme for photographing the county records, so that he and his firm will practically grab every penny of the re- ceipts of the county clerk’s office received from recording fees. Charlie knows that if I was one of the commissioners he would stand no chance to pull that deal. Then again, I intend to show the thousands of dollars paid to John Kiel every year, and I hope to show just how much interest Charlie Anda has in that outfit. It will probably involve some others, but that can’t be helped.. You know when I was a member of the Board, John and his outfit were sepa- rated from the payroll, and when I left office they got back on again, because Charlie put them back on. I’ll show you some figures that will stagger an elephant. What’s more, I am going to spill the beans in a personal way and write a breezy bit of tragedy entitled “‘Charlie and Kitty”.* It may cause a family row, but I’m going to skin this skunk if I have to buy a gas mask for every man, woman and child in Casper. Jumping from Sweden to Casper, we'll have to pay some attention to Max Levand. All of you are just dying to know what makes Max jump every time he hears a telephone ring.. You might also want dé to know about the gambling privileges at Lavoye, and many other things just as interesting. Coming a little closer to your own pocketbook, the people might want to know just why some $250,000 or $300,000 is being spent for a building back on David street, to be paid for by direct taxation out of the general fund, when the people voted down a $500,000 bond issue for a new courthouse. I have always believed that the county hospital should be kept out of politics. But when the hospital injects itself into politics I believe it should be man- aged by a non-partisan board, and that all members of the medical fraternity should be given a square deal. But there’s something “Rotten in Denmark”. If some resignations are not forthcoming pretty ‘soon, there’s goifig*to’ be hell poppin’ around about. You folks might want some of this news Printed, and it will make mighty interesting reading. All this comes under the head of “unprintable news”. : > The “unprintable news” is going to be “printed”. No,,this is not going to be printed in The Tribune. I’m. going to bear all the responsibility myself— financial and moral. Within a few days announcement will be made of the publication of a little periodical called “The Tom Cat,” which will be published several times be- fore election. The Tom Cat will look into the dark corners and tell you things most of you can’t see. Interesting, amusing and instructive articles will appear on such subjects as “George Ferguson and Jesus Christ.” “Charlie and Kittie.” “The Bond Issue.” “Max and the Telephone.” “How About the Hospital?” “Fuller’s Rats.” g “When J. W. Miller Tried to Emulate King Solomon.” And many others you will want to read. You can secure the Tom Cat at any news stand within a-few days. It might cost you a dime, but it’ll be worth ten times that. J. B, GRIFFITH. _FRIDAY, AUGUST 22, 1924.
