ANOTHER MYSTERY BAFFLES CITY Unless the democrats and republi cans send representatives to nrguu tho issue of the day with tho Third Tenners ut tho Fair Grounds Tues day, tho Hull Moo.iQ is going to toss ii bomb that will shatter their parties to splinters. The bomb is in the shape of a letter written by u Med ford citizen ndvWng his party man ngors to keep away .from tho Iloooe-velt-Waro racing rally, barbecue, and speech-fest. This is the awful throat niado by Chief Hull Mooser A. K. Ware. The enemy must either cough up tho ad mission feo and dehato Teddy's hero, ism or suffer comploto annihilation. Tho Hull Mooo has said it, it was in the Sun it muM 1P so. And now tho (ptetirm is, who wroto that damning letter?. Who was tho Lvillianf lie must ba uncovered ere diro vengennoo overtnko both old par ties, oven If old sleuth in tho guise of Sherlock Holmes SiugW is employed to unravel tho mystory that is likely to rank with that surrounding tho man who struck Hilly Patterson., It Is generally supposed that Dee Kceuo wrote the letter.

In fact ho goes further and denies that thero is any such letter. He says that what ho thinks of the Hull Mooso is too strong to he put in a letter. Mayor Canon, as spokesman for the democrats, also denies writing any such missive. "Thero aro no 'dear Maria' or 'dear Harriman' lot tors from tho democrats on filo" he declared, "so tho democrats don't fear exposure." Suspicion now points to Ed Root as the guilty party and circumstan tial ovideuco is strong. Ed admits tho showing is against him mid thai us spokesman for Debs is likely to tako tho slump against tho Hull Mooso. Hut Mr. Hoot asserts they didn't get tho letter honestly, It must have been stolen. lie says: "Thou shnlt pot steal" ought to apply to Bull Moosors as well as the rest' of us. Hut they stolo stngo thunder from tho socialists- and probably stolo tho letter, Its tho fashion nowadaysdidn't somebody steal n book from Teddy which ho had nil thu t"uo m his own pocket?"
