AUDITOR MOORE
PAYS ELECTORS
ReConsiders Decision and Issues
Warrants to Men Who Voted
for President.

Members of the Virginia Electoral
College Will receive their mileage and
per diem after all. Auditor Moore hav-
ing relented and issued the warrants.
They were mailed yesterday from the
Office OF the Secretary OF the Common
wealth by Chief Clerk J. NJ Hayes,
Jr.
On January IA. the day after the cleo
tors met at the Capitol and cast their
votes for Wilson and Marshall Clerk
Hayes made requisition for the per
diem Of 81 for each man : days attend
ancc and for mileage for the electors
al the rate Of 10 cents per mile Travelled
The entire sum amounted 10 about
$500.
As exclusively stated in The Times
Dispatch of January Is the Auditor de
clined TO issue the warrants. basing his
refusal on the fact that there was
no appropriation for this purpose. The
Constitution requires that no money
shall be paid from the State Treasury
except on specific appropriation by the
Legislature.
The electors kicked. but the Auditor
stuck TO his ruling for some time.
However. on further consideration. he
has paid the claims on the provision
in the appropriation bill for the pay
rnent of other sums not therein speci-
fed. but which are provided for by law.
Il l. decreed by statute that the presi-
Dental electors shall draw their mileage
and per diem
Mr.. Moore docs not yield the point
that the amount should have been cared
for in the bill. since otherwise II would
be possible to provide for payments by
general law. TO be later forgotten. and
so have sums paid out each year by
the Auditor of which the Legislature
and the public know nothing.
IT L. not believed that appropriations
have ever been made for this purpose.
and previous Auditors have paid with
out question.
