publicans say that try as hard as he
might Capt. J. A. T. Hull could never
| be governor and that even il Governor
| Cummins decides to enter the race for
congress it would be a poor move on
the part of the present congressman
to switch around and enter the race
| cry would be raised out over the state
| that Hull had been crowded out of the
congressional situation and such an
impression would be damaging to him
out over the state even if he succeeded
| in getting the support Of Polk county
or the entire seventh district. The
/ fox congress from this district never
seemed stronger than ut this time.
1t has been talked for some time that
whatever the Governor did he would
4 be in the fight in this district for his
friends and in every other district in
the state 1t is felt that the delegation
| from this district must be had at the
next state convention for the moral
/ influence as well as for the votes. At
the last campaign there was a COM
promise and the Governor and his
friends lost out through the Hull and
] standpat men now living up to their
word, consequently whatever happens
the Governor and his supporters will
| be in the fight. If. however, the Cow
ernor is q candidate for congress and is
/ elected as he would expect to be, his
entrance to congress would give the
otherss progressive republicans in that
| body from this state and the west a
1 leader about whom they could rally
! in advancing the interests of the west
The feeling of the progressive republic
| cans that the Governor could do the
cause much good at this time in con-
gress: that the support of the seventh
district must be had in the state fight
and that the Governor is about the
against Capt. Hull they feel assured
is tending much to popularize the idea
of the Governor running for congress-

The supreme court has not made a
sworn statement of its expenses during
the past two years for the biennial re-
port of the executive council and the
reason is that the supreme court re-
fuses to make sworn statement Of
something of which it has no knowl-
edge During a recent session of the
legislature there was bill introduced
requiring all officers housed in the
state house to make sworn statements
at the end of the biennial period Of
what they had drawn from the supply
department and further that the ar
ticles drawn had been used for the
purposes of the office for which they
had been drawn. The supreme court
is the only body that has refused to
make the sworn statement though a
number OF the officials and secretaries
change the wording Of the oath, maxi
formed that the articles have been
purpose OF the office. Whenever there
is any printing done for any office a
requisition is made on the supply de-
partment for paper for the printing.
This is turned over to the state printer
who goes and gets the paper and takes
it to his printing office where the
printing is done. The supreme court
never sees the paper and has no
actual knowledge of what is done with
it, except by what the courts term
hearsay knowledge. When the report
and sworn statement was first de-
manded Of the supreme court q the |,
court pointed out that it was assisting
in the punishment of citizens for MAX
ing sworn statements to things of
which they did not have the actual
knowledge sufficient to make such a
sworn statement. The case of.paper is
only one Supplies are drawn from the
supply department on requisition by
an official and are used up in the |
course of time hut they are not able to
say what be mes OF them except that |
they are gone.
The biennial report of the executive |
council which is now being printed
shows the amount of money that has
