use at any time since l assumed the
duties of state treasurer. | have Sc
cured the afidavits from every bank
in the state which was carrying state
deposits, including n from the Nat
ional Bank of Commerce Of Pierre, of
which Mr.. Ewart, my opponent, is
president, stating that they did not
pay any interest { me on the state
funds in their possession up to the
time OF the depositary law going into
effect.
AT the time the d pOsitary law
went into effect there was no method
of securing interest on state deposits
in a legal manner. and 10 make GER
tain as TO that I secured an opinion
from Attorney General Clark in which
he said: Until such time (when the
depositary law vent into effect, the
money held in the banks was received
without a requirement as TO payment
of interest, and therefore they could
not be compelled to pay interest -
A depository law was introduced
in the 1907 legislative session. re-
quiring the payment OF interest on
state funds into the general fund of
the state, but it was killed by the or
ganization then in power and standing
back of Treasurer Cassill. the Irogres-
siye state treasurer. When the SEES
sion of 1909 met, the platforms of both
factions of the republican party de-
clared for a depositary law, and after
il was introduced, met no opposition,
but it did not get in until late in
the session. and was not a law until
March s. The bin was introduced
by the state affairs committee of the
senate OF which Mr. Ewart was chair
man. and II was handled by his com
mittee.
The bill was allowed 10 drag to
the end OF the session before il was
enacted. and after il pissed it was
several weeks before I could secure a
meeting Of the state finance board to
fix banks OF deposit. In the meantime,
the bankers who had been favored by
Treasurer Cassill, among them Mr..
Ewart, were carrying heavy state de-
posts. without paying anything TO
the state for the use of the funds.
With that condition existing l am
charged with having delayed in pay
ing interest to the state at the be-
ginning of my term, when the work
ings of the very men who are max
ing the charges were the real reason
for that condition"

DICK RICHARDS THOUGHT
OF GOVERNOR Wesley.

Dick Richards, who is 10Y bossing
the insurgent campaign and using his
utmost endeavors TO convince the vot-
ers that Governor Wesley should be
reelected, has had a remarkable
change of heart since last fall. In
December Mr.. Richards was interview
ed by the Minneapolis Journal and
among other things he said, zone of
which were complimentary to the man
whom he is now supporting, we re-
produce a few extracts as follows:
1T is safe to say, that more laws
are being referred to the people under
the Vessey administration than under
any administration since statehood;
and mark you, the wholesale creating
OF appointive offices for political sup
porters will give the governor no little
concern in the primaries next year.
The barter and trade in spoils, and
the consideration of increase in de-
partment forces and salaries was be-
gun by Mr.. Vessey six months before
he was nominated. He has not kept
his political pledges, public or private
in good faith.
THE mania for dealing in the spoils
of the administration is sc irresistible
with the governor that he has appar-
emily lost sight of everything else; in
stead of discussing state issues, he
launches into a personal attack upon
those who are honestly trying to bring
about an Improvement in conditions
in this state, by urging the abolish
ment Of the personal spoils' to which
effort Mr.. Wesley turned a deaf ear
when he had the opportunity to have
done something"
Then do you intend to support Mr..
Wesley for renomination?"
THAT Is rather a leading question,
My actions will be based entirely upon
what attitude the different candidates
take upon the most important issues,
and their sincerity in meeting prom.
ises with genuine results. As yet
there has been no expression by tine
governor upon state issues. It will
come with poor grace for him to
preach economy because the floating
indebtedness has reached the $1.o00.
900 mark under his regime, or Offer
to remedy the personal spoils system
while he himself is p~racticing It to
the fullest extent"
