VOTE FOR
w. =. SPEER
For State Treasurer
His Record i'm This Office Is
Without a Flaw.

Under the law the Treasurer is solely re-
sponsibe for the deposits of State funds. The
act of 1898 (page 1876, Acts of that Year, in
plain terms limits such deposits to 100000 in
any bank
This is a wise law, and while Treasurer, Mr.
Speer strictly observed it, that possible loss,
litigation and embarrassment to the State
might be avoided
By careful personal examination of each de-
posltory he always knew their actual condi-
ton and kept the States balance with each
one we'll within the limit fixed by law His
examinations of the other banks were equally
as satisfactory. No depositors ever lost
dollar while he looked after their interests
This is his record. Vote for him.
