FASSETT JJOTTON
Holds Up a School Book Company for
$2,000 and Is Forced to Disgorge When Book Fails of Adoption. I
A Most Disgraceful Proceeding by the
F-.vpublic in Candidate for Superin-1 tendent of Public Instruction A I Duped School Book Company and a j Frantic Appeal for Help. On Tuesday. Oct. 14. a representative of the press visited Prof. David M. Geetlne. superint nd nt of the Greenshurs; public schools and former superintendent of public Instruction, and submitted in writing the following statement Ol facts: "After your retirement from office in March, 1859. Mr. üeeting. it Is said that you discovered that your deputy, Fassett Cotton, bad entered Into an arrangement wfth arott, Frowers 4 Co., a publishing firm of Chicago, whereby he had received 2,000 from the firm on a promise to have its arithmetic adopted for use in the public schools by the state board of educa
tion. The board failed to adopt the arithmetic and the Chicago firm demanded the return of the $2,000. Mr Cotton could raise but $1,000 of vhe money and hu appealed to you for as sistanre and you went on a note with him for the other $U0. That note was dUounted at a i.ank and the 0U cSvRo psjtllttdag company thus received the lull amount that It had paid to Mr. lotion. What have you to ay to this statement?" Mr. trotting did not manifest any ourprlse at the statement of facts, hut after a few moments' earnest thought replied: "I do not cat I to make any ctate uiont in this pCSUMetteSJu We are In the Bvdst of a political campaign end
what I should say might be mlscon
othti
strued." L'aqqr prcssujg of
questions Mr. Geeting adhered to his determination not to commit himself in any way, but it was plain from his manner that he was familiar with all
the facts and v. as silent only because he di.i not tare to be a party to the epoaure of Mr. Cotton at this time. The fuller facts in respect to Mr. Cotton's actions are as follows: Fassett Cotton, the Republican nominee for superintendent of public instruction, was appointed a deputy by Mr. fjesdag when the latter entered into office In March, 1895. A contract for school books had been made under his predecessor which was to run five yeara, and this contract would expire in February, 1899. Mr. Geeting was IS) Sleeted in 1896 and entered on his second term in March, 1897. It therefore happened that the new text books would have to be adopted under his administration and a number of pub iitod samnles of
lisniun - m school books to be passed npon by the state board of education. Among the I publishers which submitted arith i metica was Scott, Frowers ft Co. of
Chicago and Mr. Lotton went to them with a proposition that he would have their arithmetic adopted by the board for $2,0oe. The money was paid to him and hlc receipt was taken for the amount. The legislature was In session when thetime came to adopt the books and
Gov. Mount, who ata memner oi me board and very busy at tho time, asked that UM adoption of the books go over till after the adjournment of the legislature. This was done, and Mr. Oeeting went out of office before the board met. Mr. Cotton was retained as deputy under Superintendent Jones, the present Incumbent, and the board met in May. 1899. and awarded the rontrarta for the books. The arithmetic submitted by Scott. Frowers ft Co. was not adopted by the board and the firm Immediately demanded Ihm Cotton return their money. He could raise but $1.o0o and appealed to Mr. Oeeting. who had become aware In the meantime of all the fac ta, to save him from exposure. While bitterly condemning hie act and upbraiding him for betraying his confidence, Mr. Oeetg was nererthelesc moved by Cot-
ton's appeals lo help htm and v nt on a note with him fOf $1.""" ' ' scandal was hushed up. Fasset t Cotton Is the Republican nomine' for superintendent of public instruction and the people or the state are iu asked by that party to put him at thi bead of an offic e In which, as a deputy, he did not hesitate to enter Into a deal to betray the interests of the people for $2,000. The fact that the state board of education did not ilont tho Scott, Frowers ft Co. arith
metlc is evidence that It was lacking
In the easentlal qualttlee which the board lc sworn to observe, and but for this the book might have been
Wonted and Mr. Cotton would have en-
Joyed his Mntten reward. If, aa a

as the head of the office, be would not
play to his venality and put himself up for sale to the publishing firm
that would be willing to pay the best
price? The baard of education, while
Itawlf adopting the books for use in
the schools, deferc largely to ths
judgment of the rupcrlntendent of pub
lic instruction, and with Cotton in tnai position there would be no bar to a wholesale betraval of the interests of the patrons of the public schools. The people of the state were subjected for yearc to the extortion of a soulless school book trust, and a Dem
ocratic legislature came to their relief and reduced the price of school books more than one-half. Cnder this law the patrons of the public schools have been protected both against inferior books and against exorbitant prices but if a man is to be elected cuperlnn ndent of public instruction who If so tnal that he will enter into an arrangement to sell and actually sell his influence, every safeguard that ha? been invoked will be broken down
and the people will again become the vl time of rapacious publishers. Not only the honor of the state, but the protection of the public schools de
mands Mr. Cotton's defeat. Went Off Too Socn. The following from the Indianapolis
News tells the story of Republican discomfiture over the publication of certain figures by the bureau of statistics, the chief I cing a Republican and a candidate for re -election: 'The publication of extracts frOC the forthcoming report of State Statis
tician B. F. Johnsou. showng that the wages of 74 per cent of the workingmen of Indiana have neither advanced
nor deceased in the last year, has been received with dep chagrin by the Republican leaders, as It contradicts the dalms of their prcsc bureau, their speakers and their campaign hand book, which, in elaborate detail, deals with the general prosperity of
the workinumen. The press buieau st the state com mlttee headquarters has l en placing special empaasts on the fact that wages are higher than ever before.
and that even if prices of some commodities have advanced, that the advance of wages, proportionately, has been greater. Some time ago the press bureau ha I published in nearly every party : ap r in th state a statemert conipai lug the wages and prices of cornmodiites during the last few vears. It showed that uukcs have ad
vanced more rapidly than the cost of
living. ' The nolitical hand book goes even
further ay saowtaci Um si epertty of each comity. The speakers have taken their cue from this hand book
and tli' press bureau, and have echoed the stattiaal thai these has been an lacraase in eUjflSt only re cently at a inc. tint of the South Sitle Republican c lub I NtisM Storms of
Lafayette, candidate for secretary state, admitted that the price f somecommodities is hlcther but. he de
clared. it did not make much difference, as wag o vs. ! higher and more men are at work at steady jobs than ever before. "Mr. Johnson's report shows that
but 24 per cent of the wage earners of the state have rec eived an in n ase
of pay. while the wages of 2 per cent have been reduced. The party lead
ers think that he should not have made
public his figures at this time."
