and Casper.
Editor Indenendent: While I did
not expect to' break into print about
Butler county politics when I inciden
tally 'mentioned some matters to you.
in regard to the campaign, . 1 , am noi
inclined to dodsrc the issue. Had I
known while talking to you that what
I said was to be used as the basis for
an article in your paper I should have
been more explicit. - '
Now, as to ' the information upon
which I based the opinion expressed
to you:
I was told by several well Informed
residents of Butler county during the
campaign that there was a tie-up by j
which some , democrats were to do
what they could for A. J. Evans for
district judge in consideration of
Evans, in the event of his election,
appointing Charles Zergan, who is at
present stenographer in his office,
court reporter. This fact became
Inown to the democratic state com
mittee which resulted In an investiga
tion being made and an effort put
forth to have the deal called off.
Personally J do not believe C. D.
Casper was a party to this court re
porter deal, but I do believe he was
favorable to the election of Evans.
Thi3 opinion is based on the fact that
in the article Casper published in, the
Butler County Press relative to the
Bellwood bank matter in the begin
ning of the article he predicted Evans
would poll some fusion votes and to
ward the close of the same article he
said that if they did, he would for
give them. If this was'not a bid for
fusion votes for Evans, what was It?
The chairman of the democratic coun
ty committee, editor of the only demo
cratic paper in the county and god
father of the party in the county,, of
fering absolution in advance to those
who would scratch their tickets for a
"republican! . " .
Politics in Butler county seem to
have drifted into a system of personal
graft. Mr. Casper will agree with me
on this point, for he said in his first
issue after the election that after pass
ing through thirty-one campaigns In
Butler county, he had reached this
conclusion. .
The Ulysses Dispatch is well known
to be the personal organ of County
Judge C. M. Sklles, for about every
month he is held up in its columns as
the greatest legal luminary whose ef
fulgent rays of wisdom' have ever been
shed in Butler county. Mr. Sklles is
hand in glove with tho colerl of cheap
grafters who manipulated the court
reporter deal. There Is a well found
ed suspicion that Mr. Sklles' ambition
la to warm a seat on the bench of the
Fifth judicial district. Seeing, as Mr.
Casper asserts, that politics U a per
sonal jr,raft in Butler county, what is
more natural than that he (Skilcs)
should become a grafter, m to arak
and shrink from giving offense to the
republican grafters? Is it not barely
1!U!o that this la the reason the
I'lysaea Dispatch paid no attention to
the jmllt lal r .impawn and nUo why
Mr, l.vitisi ran ahead of hU tlcht-t in
