LEFT STATE DEEPLY IN DEBT.

Frankfort. Ky. July 2s. Especial
Auditor Frank =. James took fall
out OF Governor Beckham aud the
Democratic press OF the state today
when he gave out hot statement
which came out In the Kentucky Re
publican. his newspaper. lie says
that Beckham was extravagant and
quotes the figures to show II. The
statement follows:
The Democratic papers OF this
state. he'd by the Kentucky state Jour
nal, have had a great deal to say OF
late with regard TO the "mismanage-
ment." "extrayagance" and "all
around incompetency'' OF the present
administration. Some OF this rot has
been printed In ignorance. some In
sp.red by prejudice and some pub
lished out OF pure cussedness In
justice to the state Journal we desire
TO say that generally speaking h has
been falrer than the country press.
However. II has fallen into many
errors In It's edition OF June 18th.
Il begins a two column editorial with
the following statement:
Auditor James Is a fair man and
We do not believe that he would
knowingly. even for partisan pur-
post. misstate facts or figures His
recent public statement. while correct
Ia some particulars. is misleading In
others"
Then follows some so-called facts
and figures which leads us 90 remark
that We are loath to believe that the
editor OF the State Journal would
knowingly: even for partisan purposes
migssiate facts OF figures. but his ed
itorlai while correct In some particu-
lars. II misleading az 10 others For
instance. he intlmates that each ses-
sion OF the legislature during his ad-
ministratlon OF eight years appro-
priated quite as much money as did
the session OF 1908. Now here are
the facts:
Session OF 1900 appropriated s29f,
500 $4,000 OF which was merely
set aside for prosecuting the Goebel
assasslns.l
Session OF 1909 appropriated sS24.
G3s so. session OF 1894 appropriated
$4,000.
(Leaving out the state capitol APP
propriation) session OF 1906 appro-
priated s2s2. 400. making a total OF
si.Oi5.53s.
II We add TO this the 81 900 600
appropriated In 1894 for the purpose
of building the state capitol. II will
make a little over So .0OO.OOO appro-
priated in eight years OF Governor
Beckham's administration. aud II we
leave the state capitol appropriation
out OF both OF the amounts appro-
priated the appropriations OF 1905
almost equal the amount OF the total
for the eight preceding years.
Further along I'm the editorial he
says II cannot be denied that the
Democratic administration came into
power with a bankrupt treasury, and
with a heavy debt on the state. We
say that II can be denied. and as a
denial we quote from the auditors
