SECOND NEWS SECTION - Republican Warren Machine Resorts to Criminal Libel To Defeat JudgeRose — Character Assassins Make Eleventh Hour Attack to Steal the Election by Brazen Methods . October 8rd,-the Kemmerer Gazette printed a long, circumstantial and wholly false. assault upon Judge Robert R. Rose, charging him with having “stolen” the oil-claims of a widow in one case, and with having “stolen” or “robbed” a minor child of its inheritance in another case, and with other less heinous. offenses. Citizens of Kemmerer, knowing the facts and indignant at this unjust assault, caused paid advertisements to appear in the Gazette, giving the court records of these lawsuits and showing that these charges were false. The Democratic State Central Committee was advised from Kemmerer that there would be no further attacks, and the matter was allowed to drop. However, some two weeks ago the Republican committee, or some of its agents, caused this libellous article to be printed in circular form in the Capitol Press printin, establishment at Cheyenne. Then these circulars were prepared for mailing and held up until November 1. They were then, on November 1, mailed in two-cent postage envelopes to the voters in distant parts of the state. Last night these first-class mail circulars were distributed to practically every voter in Salt Creek field, and many have been delivered in Casper. They are to be released in Cheyenne Monday night and Tuesday morning. In the envelope is ‘also enclosed regular Republican campaign literature under the name of P. P. (Press) Anderson, whois connected with the Republican State campaign. The utter falsity of these charges is well-known. by all parties connected with their circulation. The charges impute such base con- duct on the part of Judge Rose as to shock the conscience. The purpose is to take the voters unaware and mislead and deceive them, too late for Rose to make reply. So base and false are these attacks that most of the leading citizens of Kemmerer, regardless of party, signed a pro- test and forwarded it to Judge Rose. The answer made by Judge Rose, the full exoneration of him by the minor’s guardian, and the protest of Kemmerer citizens follow: Casper, Wyoming, November 1, 1924. Dr. J, R. Hylton, Chairman, Demotratic State Central- Committee, Douglas, Wyoming, Dear Sir: It has come to my ‘attention that a libelous article, recently published in the Kemmerer Gazette, is at the eleventh hour of the campaign being widely circulated throughout the state. Although the representations made in this.article are known to everyone in Kemmerer to be untrue and have been denied in paid advertisements in the same aper by leading citizens of Kemmerer, the libelous matter is now being published widespread threnghout the State at too late an hour to be effectively counteracted, I was told yesterday in Cheyenne that this eleventh hour campaign had been planned some time ago, and that it had been planned to put it out just before election, in order that there could be no comeback, but I was unable to learn, until one of the circulars came to my atten- tion this morning, just what the attack was to be. I think we owe it to the voters of the State to give such publicity as is possible at this late hour to the facts, It is charged in the circulars, belng idistitvated that all of the men formerly in my employ in Kemmerer are working against me. e fact is that every man now resideht in the State of Wyoming and formerly employed by me, is enthusiastically supporting my candidacy, except one man, now in the employ of the Kemmerer Gazette, which paper is owned by the leading Re- publicans in that part of the state. 3 It is charged that I stole the coal claim of a widow. This was a land contest between oil and coal claimants. The woman referred to.as a widow was at the time and ever since has been living with her husband. Her son was employed by the Company, for which I was the attor- ney on the ‘wild cat” well at the time when first discovery of oil was made, and during the Be ee after the discovery of oil was made, he walked twenty miles to a telephone and telephon- ed to his mother, who was in the city of Evanston, where the United States Land Office is located, told her of the discovery of oil and suggested that she file on this land as coal land. When the I.and Office opened the next morning she was there, and made application for the land under the Coal Land Laws; but the placer oil locations were made at an earlier hour on the same day, and the contest following was decided favorably to my clients by the Commissioner of the General Land Office, at Washington, D. C., the Secretary of the Interior, the District of Columbia Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court of the United States upon the und that the coal entry was fraudulently made on land covered by ‘prior oil filings. The lawsuit was en corporations, the woman having sold her “right” for $10,000 before the suit started, The charge that I “jumped” ‘eaegs locations in the Dry Piney field is absolutely withont foundation, and the fact that I voluntarily withdrew my filings and those of my clients in sév- eral instances’ where Gk rights were claimed by other individuals, and I have never prosecuted a single contested claim With reference to the chargethat I received’a part of $100,000.00 paid for a lease on oll land, the fact is that $20,000.00 only was paid; that I received none of it, and practically all of it was used to pay the indebtedness of the Company holding the oil placer rights, Tt.js ‘also supe that I stole the proceeds of an insurance policy belonging to the minor child ‘of Mat Cirej, whom I defended on a vba! charge. The fact is that the Insurance Company refused to pay the amount of the policy at all, the amount being $1,000; that I made a trip to Chicago and Joliet, Hlinois, at my own expense to file suit for the collection of the insurance money, in which suit I was successful, that the share belonging to the child, namely one-half, was paid over by the administrator to E. L. Smith, Cashier of the Kemmerer Sav- ings Bank, named by Judge Arnold as muardian of the child and that the money belonging to the child has ever since been and now is on deposit in the Seuperer Savings Bank, at em. merer, Wyoming, in the name of E. L, Smith as guardian of said minor child, drawing inter- est at 4 per cent per annum and that the money mentioned has never been in my_hands or under my control, that this. whole transaction was closed and approved by Judge John R, Ar nold,of the District Court, Third Judicial District, more than seven years ago, and is all a matter of court record in the office of the Clerk of the District Court, at Kemmerer, Wyoming. I may also add:that of the $500, the interest of Matt Cirej in said insurance policy assigned to me, I paid out in traveling expenses and in expenses of witnesses all but $119, which last sum.represents the total amount received by me in the defense of Mr. inet in his preliminary examination in Justice Court, the trial of the case in the District Court, which consumed the greater part of ove week and the argument of the case in the Supreme Court, resulting in a re- versal of a verdict of conviction previously rendered. The meagre sum received by me, as al- ready referred to, was not sufficient to have compensated me at the rate of $3.00 per day for the time spent by me on the case. Very truly yours, ROBERT R. ROSE, WESTERN UNION TELEGRAM Kemmerer, Wyo., Nov, 2, 1924, J. R. Hylton, Chairman Democratic State Central Committee, ey Casper, .Wyoming. Regarding charge now being made that Judge Rose misappropriated money belonging to Julia Cire}, a minor, the fact is that the money has been for about seven yoaray acid is sie in my hands as Julia’s guardian on deposit and drawing interest in Kemmerer Savings Bank in which I am and -have been cashier for fifteen years, Judge Rose has never received one penny belonging to my ward. The other charges against Judge Rose are equally without founda- tion, Although I am a Hennbliean I make this statement in fairness to a man whose standing here during his long residence is beyond question.

We, the undersigned, business men and residents of the town of Kemmerer, feeling that unwarranted attacks have been made for political reasons upon the reputation of our former townsman, Robert R. Rose, do hereby reaffirm our faith and belief in the honesty, integrity and the sincere and upright citizenship of Judge Rose; and we do endorse our names to this cer- tificate of his good character, regardless of political affiliations and regardless of Judge Rose's present political campaign.
