state treasurer on the Republican ticket
In their resolutions they not only repu-
date his candidacy, but accuse him in
strong and positive language of embez-
element while county clerk, and call at
tenticn to the fact that he has paid in
to the county treasury over 81 800 as the
result of their investigation of his ac-
counts. This resolution was adopted
by vote of 180 in favor and 20 against.
At Wichita not only Mr.. Kelly himself.
but both Senator Burton and State
Treasurer Grimes assured the delegates
that Mr.. Kelly would have no difficulty
in satisfying everybody that there was
no actual basis for these chargesa against
him in Miami county. 1t is certainly
time that this promise made at the
Wichita convention were redeemed. The
Republicans of the state are loath to be-
Heve that Mr.. Kelly is guilty but in
the light of such positive action on the
part of the Republicans of his own
county, it is not unreasonable at this
hour to urge Mr.. Kelly to place himself
in the right attitude in this matter.
