FRANK v. EVANS FOUND
FIRST DISCREPANCY

That Frank Evans of Birmingham did
the work which proved beyond all ques-
tion that there was a shortage in the
department has become known. Because
II. Y. Brooke was assigned to examine the
books of Theodore Lacy, and because his
attempts to do so precipitated the disap-
pearance of that man. it has geen gem
era thought that Brooke was at the bot
tom of the discovery
Some time ago the governor called for
financial statement of the condition of the
state This was made by Mr.. Willlerson
The governor, on investigating that re-
port, announced himself dissatisfied with
the showing of the convict department. He
is said to have declared that there was
a "Ieak" somewhere. Thereupon. Chief
Examiner Mccall was consulted and he
suggested the sending of ldr. Evans to
Speigners. Mr.. Evans went to Speigners
and made a complete report of all goods
that had been produced and sold. 1t then
became known that many sales, all of
them amounting to more than $4,000 and
less than $4,000 had not been reported,

that no accomplice of Theodore Lacey will
be unearthed, and that no other name than
his will be found affixed to the rear of
any check, not legally accounted for,
which is now in possession of the gov
ernor.
Up to the present time the amount of
money misappropriated by Lacy, other
than that which he drew from Montgom-
cry banks, is a triie more than 295OC.
That sum was made payable to the con-
Wet department by factories which had
purchased the product of the mills of
the state.
This $4,000. added to $4,000, drawn by
Lacy from Montgomery banks is the to-

Roosevelt and 1915

Those Republican "leaders" who
are quoted In anti Republican organs
- predicting the nomination Of
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt on the
regular Republican ticket two years
hence may or may not have said
II" 1t matters little whether they
did or not. There is not . single valid
reason why Republicans should sup
port the candidacy Of man
who exhausted his extensive vo-
cabulary In search of terms to de-
nounce the party which he betrayed
and defeated In q national election.
This fact is being sbundsntly demon
strated ut every opportunity by the
rapid disintegrstion Of the Progress
sive organization, and the Colonel's
latest diatribe again the two old
| parties must serve to remove the last
vestige Of excuse for supposing that
Republicans could support him as 3
Republican or that Democrats could
support him as anything he might
choose to call himself.
In his latest utterAnce Colonel
Roosevelt. with all the vitrolic We
hemence Of disappointed leader Of
. collapsed revolt, burns the last
bridge over which he could hope to
return to the Republican party as .
candidate for any Office whatever.
Not all the adroitness Of which he IL
master can reconcile this vindictive
assault upon Republicanism with the
acceptance of any further honors at
the hands Of that party. II Colonel
Roosevelt had any basis upon which
TO build the hope Of larger Pro-
gressive vote in 1915 than in 1912,
there would be some degree Of con-
sistency In rebuilding his attacks
upon the two old parties. But all the
facts are against him and he is too
shrewd . politician not to know 1t.
With his 1900, 900 followers reduced
to showing that is almost pitable
| tt is Uncomfortable that he should
imagine any bugle blast from him at
this time can reform the shattered
lines and bring into existence . new
army for 1915. Vsrus weeping for
Mis- lost iegions was not 80 impotent
Is Roosevelt scanning the returns Of
every election held since last fall.
But upon what theory can a
Roosevelt candidacy on the Repub-
lican ticket be based in the face OF
the vitriolic attack he has just
llapnchsd? On what sane theory can
there be . popular demand for him
by the rank and file Of Republicans
without which all the predictions
Of the headers" are mere empty
sound? And II there is no Progressive
party for him to lead, and II the
Republicans cannot, II they would,
accept him without the most abject
DISQUALIFICATION, Of what force and
effect Is his scolding?-Kansas City
