Here is an expurgated copy OF what
Supervisor McMillin said yesterday
morning after he read The Herald
Republican:
mr.. Myton was relieved OF the
keys to the Office this morning. Mr..
Eldredge, who has acted as my chief
clerk all through the census cam
paign, resigned his position day be-
fore yesterday. Mr.. Eldredge has not
only been my chief clerk, but as conf
Dental man I had absolute confidence
In him He is thoroughly reliable.
and only resigned his position with
the bureau TO take up pressing per-
sonal business.
ION May 81 the services OF two
special agents whose work had been
completed, were dispensed with. These
special agents were Rock III. Pope, a
capable and reliable man. and II. Z.
Myton. Upon Mr.. Eldredge's resigna-
ton i asked Mr.. Myton 10 remain and
take his place. He began work In
that capacity yesterday morning,
when 1 handed him the keys to the
Office. Tais morning before Q o'clock
I demanded the return Of the keys
from Mr.. MytOn. and relieved him Of
further DUTY in the Office.
Il am making no charges. but the
public may make It's own differences.
one of the obligations taken by every
employe Of the census bureau when
taking his position with the govern
ment was that he would divulge no
Information whatever as TO the work
in the Office. Any employe OF the Of
ice who should commit such a breach
Of Office ethics would be liable to in
slant dismissal from the service. Ny
action this morning completely exon
crates the Office force.
Il wish to say that the figures Civ
en- TO the morning paper are absolute
ly unauthorized, and II they were OBJ
tanned through any source from this
Office il is because some one has dis
obeyed the rule under which they
were given employment. 1 am maxi
ing no charges, but simply stating
The figures given out are alb
solutely worthless. and It is plain to
cen that II they could not be OBJ
tanned here that they could not posi-
bly, have come from Washington
Different Matter.
THE fact that the figures purport-
ing to give the census returns for this
city appeared In The Herald-Repub-
lican. which IS the organ Of the party
to which belong. makes not the
slightest particle Of difference in the
matter. Everybody who knows me,
knows that I will hew as close to the
line OF party obligation in times OF po-
| ltical campaigns as the most devout
party follower but this is a different
matter This affects the integrity Of
| the Office and every employe In 1t,
| from the director down. and I wish
| the public to know the true position.
Harsh Words
7 sent a special request to the Of
/ fee of every newspaper in town this
morning that they send a representa-
/ tive to this Office at IL o'clock this
morning, sc that I could tell them
/ the situation. The Herald-Republi-
| can saw fit not to send a representa-
/ tive. I will say that II The Herald
/ Republican had a representative pres
ent. I would tell him that as far as
| assistance from the papers goes. this
i Office has received more help from any
/ Of the three other papers in making
| the census canvas than from that
sheet. I am only sorry that The Her
| ald-Republican did not send a repre-
| sentative, so that / could make the
| statement to him personally. / have
| always tried to be square with the
wspapers, and I believe my record
| viii bear me out in the statement
mat have always played fair. Wher
ever 1 have had any information 70
give out, IL has been given to all pa
pers alike, without Partially, when
that Information was for the benefit
Of the public generally.
The statement published in The
neutrality-suspicious. this morning re-
fleets upon the integrity of the con-
duct OF this Office, and I Will not stand
for Il. AS TO the dismissal of Major
! MytOn, 1 make no charges, but yoU
may infer what you please. When
, relieved him of the keys this morn
! ing told him that his services were
dispensed with. and that should need
him further. would send for him."
