The Stoop administration IS now
conducting an examination OF the
city's books at an expense OF SIS per
day for an indefinite time. While
the auditing OF the city's accounts Is
all right. yet in this case the animus
IS purely political. There has never
been any hint, or suspicion, or prob
ability that there was anything wrong
with the city's finances. The oihcers
are competent and men OF character
and high standing. There has never
been the slightest rumor ot any de-
mand for an examination. Yet be
dorc portion OF the aldermen are
sure OF their seats this costly eNlmi-
nation is rushed into-bcgun with the
statement of one OF the aldermen
that they only wanted to 5 how MP the

believe that with him rs our standard
bearer at the coming election, he
would bring success to our state. con-
gressional. legislative and county
tickets.
He is man whose honesty and
integrity has never been questioned,
his efforts through all these years
have been principally in building w
the industries and improving the
country At large. in which he has
made 4 great success, as many hap
py homes and communities will bear
testimony. Having served two terms
in our state senate naturally made
him acquainted with the varied in
dus,rics and resources oi the entire
state. and coupled with his long and
busy life in private affairs, amply fits
him to cope with all the duties con-
ncctcd with the office oi governor.
Your earnest aid and support in Sc
