Will there be any effort made to from the
bondsmen of O. " Allen the money stolen from the
in the big bond issue that he engineered?
There will not be, Of course any than there
has been since the deal pulled off, unless official
is elected allied with the Republican machine which
protects offcad law volaors until action forced upon
them from the outside.
1t will be remembered that Allen took 81 161 800 worth
of state bonds with him on trip to the east sell them
He reported that he had received premium Of only
$1o25 which not equal to the interest actually &C
cumulaed
Moreover at the price of other like bonds those
school districts and other minor governmental Districts
the premium received should have been least S4oO
not counting their greater desrabity smaller bond
ing districts This should have been received in addition
to the accumulated interest.
Thus it will be seen that the cheated out Of
the difference between the $4646O that the state
doubtless actually received and the o25 that he report
ed that he had received, or approximately S55OOO
This the first considerable pecuat1on OF the state
treasurer but Notwithstanding the fact that was commit
ted nearly four years ago, and Notwithstanding the tact
that public attention was called the facts in the
nearly years ago. the state treasurer was given tree
hand go into the public funds to his hearts content!
The Democrats cupable IN this instance as the
Republicans the first crooked transaction took place
under a Democratic administration whose attention was
called the That administration defended Allen
and abused his nformants just as the Republican machine
defended Allen and abused those who exposing the
rotten conditions under his administration right up to the
very minute OF his arrest
There is no more hope for exposure of the actual con
dtons under Democratic rule than there under Repub
lican rule This is shown by the avdity OF Republic
machine heeerS to throw their support 10 the De1no
cratic nominee for when 1t seemed that
nothing would be done successor to Allen upon
the Republican ticket The old fellowship Of machn1sl
and corruption displayed in strong manner just as
always displayed whenever there danger to the corrupt
machine.
If the people relief, they should support those
candidates who have brought about the exposures OF pres
ent conditions The Democrats have done not thing but
conduct sham battle with the ammunition already shot
bv Van Dese Broxon and the Progressive organization
The Democratic campaign committee and the Democratic
have
thew have done single thing to fastep responsible
v until after Van Deusen and Broxon had fired the first
shot.
