guilty of the embezzlement of public
money during the year 1902 and this
we concede but we are at a loss to
understand WHY HE WAS NOT
PROSECUTED AT THE TINE
THE DISCOVERY WAS MADE
BUT ON THE OTHER HAND WAS
EMPLOYED AT THE COURT
HOUSE as long as Mr.. A, l.. Farrell
was holding the Of county auditor
under claim of right.
Does any one think that Mr.. Clay
ton would ever have been prosecuted
had not these other discrepancies
been discovered? Never His con-
viction of the ENLIGHTENMENT of 1887 90
during 1902 as u natural consequence
would carry with it the inference that
he and he alone was also guilty of en-
beZzling the amounts that were
short in the year 1900 and 1901 as
found and reported by the county
auditing committee. But is this true?
SUM " l ~ ! Nv NHIN''N'N b's
1t must be remembered that the
shortage for which Mr.. Clayton was
convicted was not the only one nor
was it the one uncovered by the audi
tors, according to the eX-trcasurer'S
own testimony HE ASSUMED A
SHORTAGE WHEN HE CAME
INTO OFFICE AND CARRIED IT
THROUGH HIS ENTIRE ADMIN
ISTRATION REPORTING IT AS
CASH ON HAND AND DID NOT
LET THE SSION Frs
KNOW OF IT.
In passing it might be well to state
that, Notwithstanding the actions of
Mr.. Clayton were well known by the
ex-auditor lac, Clayton, was retained
in Office as a deputy in the auditors
Office until the end of his incumbency
in Office. Therefore the claim of the
democratic party in their platform
that they are in no wise responsible
for the acts of Mr.. Clayton is futile.
1t is self-evdent that the democratic
party i'm their platform tried to evade
the responsibilities which naturally
attach to their official representatives.
SHORTAGE OF FEES.
Regarding the shortage of fees
about which no little comment has
been made, the disclosure of this
shortage was melted by the fact that
the auditor himself had omitted to
pay the fees in the filing Of his own
case against Mr.. j, n. Larsen, Pro-
ceedlng along the lines of democratic
argument one would be led to believe
that Mr.. Farrell county clerk, could
not collect these fees from Mr.. Farrell
as a private citizen. The shortage OF
the fee list is too extensive to detail.
We will, however, illustrate one phase
of this question which is parallel with
the others by furnishing the following
list of the names OF people who have
been naturaiZed from 1899 to 1908 for
which no fee was paid or If it was,
never found its way into the county
treasury
