Sol'e 70 IN their administration and
10y aui ADMINISTRATION to compare-he
~ "",i s- record, here it is. They had
$lfSo0 and lost $576 on nat offioo
an actual loss of that amount 70 tt,is
state under the manapen,ent &c ~
last Democratic administration: hut
what nave we done, we have saved
You $3",S79; they lost you over s5Oo
NOW my friends, that's the comnari-
son, and that's the kind that goes on
mere all the way through. This is not
mlhe-these figures will be shown TO
you, and if there is a statement here
that Is not true, don't you vote for
me II II is true, 1t makes an awful
showing Tor Them and splendid
showing for us. The next is the state
engineer. They lost $4,000 on this Of
nee; we gained SIS, 450-some differ
ence there, isn't there? The next. the
game warden, they lost $500 on that
olIlce; we gained $19,62O, and re-
member that these figures mean inst
up to today.I have three months TO 90
on yet and we will cut them down
more. The next is the livestock COM
mission; they lost $2500, we gained
~ |1bf wv ne ItAl the insurance
commissioner. Here is where they
made some money. $36,2S2-we made
you S76,3l0 up to date under this adj
minlstration, and we have made
$4,000 more than they did Mr..
Hawley didn't tell you anything about
this, did he? And the next thing is
one that | am proud of; it is the law
that your executive recommended and
the law that was passed by Republi-
can legislature, that your money
should go out and work for you while
you slept, and it has been done: that
is the state treasurer's office. In this
office they lost you $5S75, an actual
dead loss to this state, with 100000
dollars laying there in the treasury
loaned out to their friends. What did
we do? Why we have made for you
$70,125. and yet they talk about mall
feasance in office, running around
over the state saying things of that
character. when we have made for
you over $4,000 profit to their $4,000.
And now we come to the final COM
pete comparison. They. after paying
all expenses had a profit on the last
administration of $22,677, and, now
we don't include the 100000 of bonds
that was issued by the other Demo-
cratic administration, the deficit but
we have shown to you a net profit
over the last Democratic administra-
ton of $35S,622. That's what we did
against their $4,000 Now don't
you think. If you were Mr.. Hawley
that you would try to hunt up some
Carey act proposition, or something
of that kind, or farm loan or some
thing else.
And now. my friends I want to
talk to you Just moment on the land
L,,ef Nv friend
ley took an hour of your time talking
about that | believe, and | believe
that an hour is long enough for any
man to talk, and | am going to have
all this matter printed and | am GO
ing to send it out to you, and then
next spring, when we all have time,
and I am serving my second term, l
will come up here and try to deliver a
speech that will be interesting and
not all figures.
Now. another thing I want to call
your attention to is the fact that /
am on II different boards. NOW
when our state was admitted INTO ths
Union we adopted a constitution, ana
we mt upon the land board the at
torney general. the secretary of state,
tho state superintendent and the gov
ernor. and the state engineer; you put
nc IN that board At the time that
thev adopted the constitution they
didn't believe that they would have
work enough for them to do-they
never thought of any such thng as
the Carey act-and they put all the
duties of chairman of these II boards
on your executive; and in addition 10
that they put all the work OF the
transferring of funds, that is the
transfer of funds from one depart
mont TO another. upon your executive,
and he has to sign these transfers IN
otber words. I do a business OF w.
500 600. that's pretty good banking
business to do. that, in addition TO an
the other duties I have to PERFORM
and in addition TO that your executive
bae TO sign personally every clalm
tro+ is alIowed-26. 900 of them. Your
evecutive has something to do hasn't
he?
let me call your attention to the
fact that when / went on those
boards as soon as I was elected l
naade nm my mind that this board
nidn,+ have the time to attend to the
carey net proposition. Here was a
new proposition that was Drous,i,
onto our state within the last ~
wears and for the benefit OF Only
~ roe. fifths of the whole state; mats
,,.i,ot n did And let me tell you
. i" We about what we have done
~, tbat hoard; we have had II

~ 40 of Them were Tor the !
