Governor Deaf to Duty.
On the contrary, my opponent has
been through almost the entire pc

honesty begyl at home but did not
stay there. The law imposed on him
the duty and gave him the authority
to investigate. II when rumors OF
wrongdoing were rife. he was deaf tC

but discouraged, developed the truth

tlons for auditor and for treasurer Of
their present deputies, and for attor-
ney general Of the favorite of one Of
the bosses in the alliance. II is plain
that the election of these men is in
tended to and would simply prolong
the present statehouse dynasty.
These nominations were thus
forced on the Republican voters OF
the state in spite Of reports generally
current concerning the deposit of
public funds. Many Republican jour
nails Of high standing at once repudi.
ated these candidates, and their
course was justified by the Investigate
ing committees report, which is part
Of the records Of the state. The re.
port was founded almost entirely on
the evidence and conduct Of the Off
cials themselves The facts therefore,
are not open to successful denial.
Governors Duty to Enforce Laws.
The duty of the governor is to
enforce the laws and see to 1t that
the other officers Of the state proper
ly perform their duties SO he is
given by law full authority to investi-
gate their conduct, Yet, in spite OF
these rumors; In spite Of this action
by journals Of his own party; in spite
OF this official report; in spite OF
these charges by the representatives
Of half a million voters, the governor
has taken no step whatever And in
his speech Of acceptance, long after
the facts had been brought out, with
out resOrting to his own power TO in
vestigate further, but taking the bare
word Of the officials involved, he says
that the charges are merely partisan
and the assertion can be made with
out fear of contradiction that there
has not been a cent OF the public
funds stolen or misapplied."
am glad to say that believe the
governor to be perfectly honest and
upright himself But fear he had at
his elbow when that part of hls
speech was written one OF those
snifty steersmen who are familiar
with the gaps which are unfortunate-
ly sometimes left between moral hon,
esty and legal crime, because nobody
has made the charge OF technical lar
ceny or embeZzlement.
What was the conduct of these OFF,
cials then, which the governor does
not think deserves condemnation or
even inquiry?
