Kempf for Treasurer.

John j. Kempf, present state
treasurer and Repu olican candi
date at the primaries Sept. 4th
is entitled to denomination on
the splendid public record he
has made. Since going into Office
he has had but the one idea of
making it what it really is, the
big business institution of the
state.
He has devoted his whole time
exclusively to the office; has seen
the receipts increase from $4,-
100000 to 100000 annually;
has introduced new ard mod
ern system for accounting and
distributing the public funds;
the rate Of interest on state de-
pOsitS has been raised enough
to pay his salary in full each
year; the trust funds have beer
loaned out to larger extent and
at a greater, rate of interest than
ever before; the surplus has in
creased to 50, 100000. which Mr..
Kempf believes should be used
for State improvements for
which taxes would otherwise
have to be levied; the increased
work has been done without any
increase in the clerical or office
force, and instead of beng a
drain on the treasury, as former
ly. the Office has been made to
yield a revenue Of nearly $4,000
per annnm to the state over and
above all salaries and expenses.
Mr.. Kempf has had some hot
fights on his hands, but the peo-
pie Of Wisconsin have always
given him "square deal. He
stands on this terse platform:
II favor: Business methods in
the Office of the state treasurer;
honest receipts; legitimate ex-
penditures; reasonable retrench-
ment; public reports and a
square DEAL for every man.
Mr.. Kempf is a native of Wis
consin and of German parentage
