We'll, I hardly think so; you see you
can't tell whether the governor was really
robbed or was just Dragging about having
that much money.
AS a general proposition, however, the
state officers are very indignant at the
treatment OF the chief executive and they
likely will petition him to call out his
colonies and declare war on the entire
state of Iowa. They figure that one charge
Of the brave colonies in full dress would
At least cripple a few Sioux City and Des
Moines ball players.
One suggestion received at the office OF
the governor was for him to send Tom
Allen and Mayor Dahlman to Iowa to get
the money back, they having been sue
cessful on a little financial call down on
Wan street some five years ago.
But here is the question that will have
to be settled by the legal department of
state; Is the $3.50 the governors share of
the gate receipts or does he have to split
that with the original chautauqua attrac-
ton whose place he filled7 And if the split
had not been made will the governor have
to make good the loss to the other man?
