Davidson to Martin Kowal 250 THE TRUTHS ABOUT THE WARRANT (Continued from page one.) of the board, entered into a contract with Mr. Hutton to draw plans and specifications for the school house. This contract was in writing and was originally signed by all the members of the board. It provided that M ti. ton should be the architect and that he should be paid a certain Der cent on the total cost of the building for nis servlCes. The contract speaks for itself. There was never any question about the validity of this contract with the architect. It was one the School Board had a right to enter into with Mr. Hutton and did not exceed the constitutional limit of taxation and was never challenged nor could It be challenged by anyone as illegal. Whether the contract price for this work was too high or too low, is not for me to say. Nor can any court defeat It on that account. It was such a contract as the school board had a right to enter into and they did enter into it. Long after that contract was entered into with Mr. Hutton, I believe in November or December, 1910, the school board, which was then composed of Joseph G. Ibach, Henry il. X3i.-H.iieii ana AMgusi J . ureesen. entertHl into . a .contract -with Caldwell & Drake to build said school house 'at & cost approximating $300,000. The people were indignant at this. They be lieved the cost was excessive and some went so far as to intimate that there was some fraud in the deal. An in Qignauon arieeiing was neia and a committee was appointed, composed of Mr. CaM Bauer, Chas. II. Frederichs and others. A sum of money was raised to hire attorneys and pay expenses in making a fight against this contract. Judge Glllett was first employed. After he had commenced a case for the committee, I was engaged to help him. We were something like fifteen days in looking up law, making up the issues, arguing and settling legal questions and in trying the case. We were successful In defeating the Caldwell & Drake contract. That was as far as my employment went. Sometime after that Mr. Whinery, acting for Caldwell & Drake, appealed the case, to the Supreme court. I was not employed to act in the Supreme court. Sometime thereafter, I don't know how long, tut I think it was after the middle of July, 1911, Mr. Hutton employed the firm, of which I am a member to examine his contract and collect what he claimed was due him under it. I had long before this finished my work for the committee and it was well known by them that I had done so. The committee never at any time employed me, either directly or indirectly to oppose or defeat the Hutton contract. I never gave them an opinion on the Hutton contract and was never paid for doing so. What the Bull Moose paper and Mr. Gavit and others say in this connection is wholly false. Mr. Bauer and the other members of the committee will back me up in the foregoing statements. After Mr. Hutton employed our firm I examined his contract carefully and then examined the records of the school board so far as they concerned the same. I found that his contract was duly let and legal; that he had a valid claim against the school board and that the amount he was entitled ta recover depended on what contruction the court might put on tht language of the contract. I found on examining the school board records that on December 29, 1910, they had paid Mr. Hutton $2446.13 and had al lowed him at that time the further sum of $3176.11, for which a warrant was to be issued In February, 1911. I presume the school board did not have the cash to pay the entire bill at that time Or it would have done so. I quote the part of the record on that date that pertains to the Hutton bill. "The following bill was read and allowed and recommended to the Finance Board for payment: 6657. J. T. Hutton, part payment on plans for Industrial high school as per contract, $2446.13, and $3176.11 to be issued in February, 1911." On roll call, Bicknell, Dreesen and Ibach voted "aye". These minutes are duly signed by H. M. Bicknell, president and J. G. Ibach, secretary. At the time I got this copy of the record I had Superintendent McDaniels and his clerk witness It, as a true and correct copy of the school board record pertaining to the Hutton allowance made Dec 29. 1910. Mr. Hutton was claiming something like $6000.00. X ad

SIS Bumnd BmUAlaar Osm vised him that $3176.11 of his bill had already been allowed and did not need to be included in any law suit. That all he had to do to get this was to have them sign a warrant in accordance with the above order, and so we concluded to first get a warrant for said sum and then try to adjust the balance and if they did not adjust the balance we would bring suit and let the court determine the amount due. I went to Miss Hansen, the clerk. to get his blank warrant. It was given to me voluntarily and as a matter of course and without any snatching, grabbing or tearing it out of the book on my part. It was done openly and i above board and there was nothing 1 wrong about it. The lady clerk will tell you this. I, as attorney for Mr. Hutton, in the performance of my duty, desired .to get the warrant signed by the school board officers, because the same had already been al- j lowed and the date fixed for its payment was long past due. There was no deception used to any person at; any time or place, concerning this warrant. I presented the warrant in open meeting before the board that night and wanted the president and secre-, tary to sign it. It was my duty as the attorney for Mr. Hutton to do so. I did not shirk my duty. I never have shirked a duty for a client and I never will. At this open meeting of the school board, at which the board and Supt. McDaniels were present, I presented the warrant for signature. Mr.. Bicknell signed ft and Mr. Krost then made, the statement that he did not care If the president and secretary did sign it; that he was treasurer and he would not pay It until mandated to do so by the court. Mr. Krost had become a member of the school board after the bill was allowed and before this meeting of the board.- It was between these times that public sentiment had been aroused Tjy the Caldwell & Drake contract and some of the members of the school board were afraid to pay this amount to Mr. Hutton on account of public opinion, although It had been regularly passed on and allowed as shown above. After Mr. Krost made said statement, Mr. Dressen said he knew the bill was correct and that it had been allowed; that it ought to be paid but that he would not sign the warrant and would let Mr. Hutton bring a law suit for it. And hence the school board failed and refused to issue a warrant on an allowance that it had alrealy made. We were compelled to bring suit on the whole claim and the case is nowpending in the circuit court at Crown Point. I desire to ask the attornerys and the pa,pers that have made a "bugaboo" about this matter what the dishonorable thing is that I dhd. as Mr. Hutton's attorney? I did not draw the contract with Mr. Hutton, nor did I allow the bill.' After it was allowed, as Mr. Huttons attorney, I tried to get the board to issue the warmnt. I would not have done my duty as his attorney, if I had not done so. Suppose the City Board of Public Works should make an allowance to. anyone for services or materials furnished and direct the comptroller to issue a warrant for It, and the comptroller failed to do so, would the person in whose favor the allowance was made and who was entitled to a warrant on that allowance be doing anything wrong if he went to the comptroller and tried to get him to sign a warrant for it? Certainly not. It would be his right and duty to do so. And if nse did not, he would be a chump, and it would be the duty of the comptroller to sign the warrant. When the school board passed on Mr. Hutton's claim it wa? its duty to allow It or refuse it or allow ft In part. It did allow the claim in part and ordered Jt to be paid in February, 1911. and it was the duty of

PER CENT av a. m. aa, the officers of the board to issue x warrant and pay !t in February 1911. This they failed to da And 1, as attorney for Mr. Hutton, tried to get them to pay it. . Any talk about this being a dishonorable transaction on my part is cheap bunk. It is a coldblooded attempt to mislead and deceive the public, a part of whom do not understand theBe thing well. I was not surprised that a newspaper, getting the public printing and living out of the public crib year after year, would resort to any mud slinging to defeat the opposing candidate, but I did not think that my attorney friends would resort to any such clap-trap without first investigating lta truthfulness. This is my plain statement. This la my plain statement. It is the plain unvarnished truth and anybody who says to the contrary, is saying that that is not true. My friends and neighbors have known me for a good many years and I believe they never knew me to resort to any stealing and ' subterfuge in my business. I can safely leave the question with them and I charge them and all others concerned not to give any heed or credit to such stories just before election. If there was anything wrong about this, why did they not mention Jt or publish It long ago. If I were ,gullty of any wrong or theft, why did they not prosecute me. They know better than to try anything 6f that sort because they know very well that there is nothing in their statements. , . The gang of Chicago made .political bosses who are behind the lty hall officers and the above .named $aper in their last dying efforts., to-. save the day, are' resorting to all .sorts jot subterfuge, -but, they cannot s.re-me one bit.- I am in this race to win and if the good citizens of Hammond, who love patriotism and clean politic, will stand by me and work with me, we will clean the gang and their backers out on election day," as r sure as the tun rises.
