1t Was II Moral Duty.

1T Is also entirely untrue that Com
missioner Ruth of the school and public
lands had any arrangement or agree
ment with me about the holding up of
the school money in the summer of 1898.
We never exchanged a word about the
matter. l did hold up the states money
at that time, and I believed, and the
other state officers believed, tina it
was my moral duty to do so. The money
was deposited in various important
banks of the state. Strictly under the
law l should have drawn this out. But
had l done so 1t would have certainly
wrecked them and probably every
financial institution in South Dakota.
I was keeping careful track of the
banks and knew that to carry out the
law at that time meant disaster. By the
o vigorous work and pulling every
string ! could I succeeded in floating
the funding warrants of the state and
so prevented a panic in this state
while banks were falling thick and fast
all over tho country.
1t is not true hat the money lost
went for political purposes. / was

cam and carried forward over our
heads, dropping again in front OF the
