GRIMES SAYS IT'S POLITICS.
Mr. Grimes, in response to a request

porter said today:
81 have understood for several days
| that such a suit would be filed but I
have not seen the petition nor the papperS
containing the allegations against me. 1
| believe this is a political movement in
| vOlving methods which no fair minded
Populist, Democrat or Republican will
| approve
1.-The motive, of course, is to injure me
politically. This I think the public will
readily understand and I believe this
| action will revert against those who at
tempt to institute such persecutions.''
GOVERNOR DOESN'T KNOW.
81 know nothing of the facts in this
case" said Governor Stanley, "but if it
| should be established in court that
| Treasurer Grimes has been personally
receiving the benefit of interest on daily
balances of public funds in Topeka
| banks, my opinion, as a lawyer, is that
he has no legal right to participate in
such transaction and should pay all
moneys SO received into the state treas
ury.''
GODDARD SAYS IT'S FALSE.
Attorney General GODDARD, who is pres
ident of the State Savings bank said to
| a Journal reporter:
"As president of this bank, know alb
solutely that Mr.. Grimes has not re-
ceiVed from Us one single cent as inter-
est on daily balances. No such pay
ments have been made to him and so
far as am able to state for our insti-
tuition, there is no foundation for such
charges
Mr.. GODDARD has been sick for a couple
of weeks and had not heard the gossip
which has been prevalent among the
politicians and was surprised today
when informed that such a suit had
been instituted.
Morton Albaugh, chairman of the Re
publican state committee, declined to
| discuss the subject in any manner.
GRIMES WORKS HARD.
Frank Grimes is one of the most ac-
commodating men the people OF Kansas
have chosen for q state officer. He is the
only man in the administration who has
not taken vacation this year; he gets
to his office at 8 o'clock in the morning,
| ahead of his clerks, and is the last to
leave in the afternoon.
Crimes admirers will be slow to be-
lieve that he has been guilty of juggling
with the public moneys and all of them
will have ito be shown" the facts be-
fore they will believe.
