Gov. Warner personally demanded
the resignation OF Frank r. Glazier as
state treasurer in the latters home
I Wednesday morning, and Mr.. GlaziGr
refused point blank TO quit the Office.
The governor pleaded with the
/ flnancier to withdraw as gracefully as
I possible for the interests of both him
self and the public, but Mr.. Glazier in
sisted that he will remain in Office
ana hight TO the utmost all steps to
Just him.
The governor will at once take the
/ necessary legal steps TO have Mr..
| GlaZier removed, and the state treas
urer will be cited to appear in Lam
sing and answer the charge against
him Of gross neglect Of duty" as soon
as he is able physically.
( 1t is necessary for the governor in
taking steps TO remove the treasurer
to move along well-defined path.
| The charges must be formally pre-
pared and submitted and then notice
served on Mr.. Glazier. who must be
given an opportunity to meet them.
{ The governor makes this plain state
ment:
Mr.. Glazier declines TO resign and
| shall at once commence proceedings
/ for his removal, believing the best in
terests of the state demand such &C
ton. Having decided to continue in
office, Mr.. Glazier will doubtless avail
himself of every legal method to de-
feat my purpose to make change. |
am informed. however that the pro-
cedure in such cases has been well de-
fined in Michigan and have no doubt
of the result.
| shall cite Mr.. Glazier to appear
before me and show cause why he
should not be removed and shall set
forth the facts as they exist in con-
nection with the state funds. Quoting
the very words of the constitution au-
thoriZing the executive to remove GER
tain state officers. believe there
was gross neglect of duty" by the
state treasurer The position of those
who advise and sustain, Mr. GLACIER
in his refusii> 20 resign is absolutely
7 untenable, in my opinion
| shall do what | believe to be my
duty in this matter. had no desire to
present this matter TO Mr.. Glazier
while he was physically incapacitated
and have waited on that account
can see no reason why these proceed
ings should be long drawn out It
shall certainly be my endeavor 10
bring about a change as soon as pos
sible. The public will be taken into
my confidence in all the proceedings
relative to Mr. Glaciers removal.
have been acquainted with Mr. Glazier
for many years, even before he was q
state officer, and always esteemed him
highly. The fact that we were per-
sonally on good terms will not inter-
fere with my duty now. The states
interests should be protected and the
course | have outlined will be fol-
lowed out
Atty Gen. Bird will be ready with
the papers in the removal proceed
ings against State Treasurer Glazier
this week. The charges will then be
signed by Gov Warner and a date for
the hearing set. Until the charges
have been submitted to the governor
they will not be given out for publ
cation, but it is understood that the
attorney-general's department does
not propose to have the papers fail
for lack of attention.

the circuit court this week. IL is
said the bank does not have a piece
of poor paper except that which
Glazier placed in ii, but as Glaciers
loans and those of his family are
about one-fourth of the deposits of
the bank, the assets are expected to
shrink considerably.
