directly after the suspension Of tho bank of the shady
dealings with II OF State Treasurer Danforth.
For Mr.. Danforth and his action and keeping State
funds in the bank after the State Bank superintendent
had declared the hank TO be unsafe. there has been
almost universal condemnation. BY receiving a
large personal unsecured loan from the hank under
such conditions Mr. DanfOrth aroused a perfect storm
Of popular indignation.
But Mr.. Danforth was not the only person con
cerned In these discredltable transactions. There
must have been strange and unaccountable faith In
Mr.. Danforhs paper or else there must have been
