Uncle Horace said Democrat increased
expenses 100000. The records show they
! decreased them $l,306. In this connection
1t must be borne in mind that out of the
money appropriated for current expenses
| large amounts were paid out for per
! mancnt improvements which, when de-
Quoted, would show large decrease in
the cost of the institutions while under
! Democratic management. 1t has been
shown before how widely astray Mr.. Tay
Tor was in his comparison of expenses
about the Capitol. These instances are
enough to illustrate how badly he was
| tangled up while trying to make out n case
against the Democratic administration.
| But that reduction of S742 600 in taxes.
: That IS the thing the Republican managers
wish to get out Of the minds of the people.
They knew that SO long rs that remains
unchallcnged it will be hard to convince
the average citizen that the Democratic
administration is not deserving of support.
A weak effort to mar the record has been
made by trying to show that the Demo
cratic officials received large sums from the
cxstatc trcasurcrs and the receipts from
other sources. Mr.. Sawyer's friends arc
not aware probably that the present adj
ADMINISTRATION has in four years paid out
81, 172,7l6 in extra special appropriations
and excess payments, besides wiping $742,-
COO off the taxes for this year. Even Re.
publican managers cannot but admit this
! is doing quite we'll
WHAT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE DONE
In other words Governor Pcclx's nd
ADMINISTRATION has paid out to the people, or
for their benefit In the past four years the
large sum of $l,0l5, 2S6 more than did the
Republicans in the four preceding years.
To provide this amount, nearly $1,000, 600,
economy was necessary But the Repub-
lican managers say the Democratic adj
ministration has been extravaganza.

In addition to all this the Democratic
administration which the friends of Mr..
Sawyer say is SO extravaganza, has increased
the different school funds over what they
received during the four preceding Rcpub-
lican years rs follows;

This may be extravaganza, but II Is
kind that is likely to appeal to everybody
that is not blinded by partisanship. That
this enormous excess has not been at the
expense of the taxpayers the following

Just how the Republican machine poll

convince the people that the Democratic
administration mas been extravagant Is
