The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-06-10

Submitted to Gov. CIOugh and
ceipt by the Chief Executive
Hanley's Expense Account.
At the meeting of the Farmers AL
lance and Industrial Union, held In
st. Paul early in January, the paucity
of farmers holding places on the
various state boards caused a good deal
of discussion. The result was a reso-
luton calling for the appointment of a
committee to select a list of names OF
farmers to be presented to the COVER
nor so that the chief executive, whSn
making future appointments, would, if
he wished, have the material at hand
from which to select men for some Of
the positions who had the Endorsement
of the alliance and the interest it rep
reSentS.
The work of making this selection
fell on John c. Hanley, and it was
through his efforts to secure means to
do this work that certain Minneapolis
papers applied various names to him,
none of which was intended to indOrSe
Mr. Hanley's honesty. But Han,ey went
on with his work and when it was fin
ished he submitted a list of names to
Gov. Clough, and attached to 1t was a
statement OF the expenses he had in
CURED and the moneys received in do
ing the work.
The censor of the governors office
was attending strictly to business the
day the letter was received by the chief
executive, and for several days after.
So far as governor was concerned the
information contained in the letter,
which was as nearly a public document
as any he receives, would never have
been given out for publica ton. While
1t is little late, The G b herewith
publishes the letter of Mr. Hanley,
which was suppressed by Gov. Clough.
The statement following the letter
shows that the stationary and postage
and other like expenses amounted to
great deal more than the money de-
rived from the 81 that each man was
asked to send with his letter sanction
ing the placing of his name on the list
for positions. Here is the letter:
