Fight for Trensurcrship.

Taking everything into considera-
ton, the most important fight, and the
most interesting is the run for the
treasurership, and 1t is on this contest
that the new electorate is to be square
ly tested. 1t appears to be a general
feeling that If the people of the couh-
ty purpose to countenance the slip
shod methods OF past years they will
elect Mr.. Hechler to take charge of
the office again. Mr.. Hechler's cleo
ton is by no means assured, however,
not only on account of the change in
the electorate, but from the fact that
lie has never secured an office in a
general election. Appointed treasurer
by Judge Scott to fill the unexpired
term of Mr.. Todd, who died in Office,
he was later removed by the same
judge for malfeasance after trial
and appeal. At his trial Mr.. HecTTier
did not deny having used county funds
for private purposes; in fact, admit
ting to the Board of Supervisors, and
to the court when on the witncss-stand
that he was short moro than $4,000,
but claimed that he could make god
the amount at any time.
Mr.. Hechler testified on the stand
that he had used the money, but that
he had sufficient resources to cover the
shortage. The money was used to
save discount on Individual notes, said
Mr.. Hechler.
The hearing in the Hechler case de-
veloped the fact that the books of the
office under his administration were
badly kept. Mr.. Henry Boudar. of a
firm OF special accountants, testified
that he kept no cash account; that
his books We're n mere pretense; that
his worthless system of bookkeeping
was mainly responsible for the accu-
sations made, and that he had certain
ly violated the law which prohibited
a county treasurer from using county
money for private purposes.
Mr.. Hechler had as his deputy a
son Of former Treasurer Todd, who
served as bookkeeper of the office.
When placed on the stand young Mr..
Todd was greatly confused, and was
unable to explain his system of book
keeping to the court. Mr.. Hechler has
|sgnified his Intention of reappointing
young Todd If reelected.
The election Of Hechler and Todd
could not be otherwise construed than
as an Endorsement Of their methods OF
conducting the office. and would also
BIO an assurance to all other county en-
