You are kind enough in your letter
to exonerate me from any "wilful mis-
representation" in preparing the pam
phlet. Now that you knowtI did not

to must be held guiltless. You want
some corrections in the figures made.

; looking the fact that the appropriation
of S446,7T6 was made in contemplation
of the meeting of the legislature within
year due to the time Of changing
from the event to the odd numbered
wears for legislative sessions. In that
respect Mr.. Cownie is entirely right.
But Mr.. Cownie is not right when he
speaks of the report Of the board show
ing expenditures" of certain amounts
and he juggles figures here. He knows
the statement he is attacking is speaking
only OF appropriations while the "ex-
penditures' include not only the appro-
pria tons but also large SUMS not de-
rived from appropriations. But without

for the forty-two months just preced-
ing it was s6,3o3.367.43, an excess OF
s124sS991 or s2,973 per month during
your service.
This gives the situation in a Greatly
understandable way and is given not to
suggest extravaganza or incompetence
for you rendered the most excellent
service, Mr.. Hamilton. but to show
your want of candor when you are MAX

COWNlE BlUNDER REACTS
Effort OF DiseruntIed Ex-office Holder
to Boost Hamilton Proves Boomer
arg and Injuries Democratic candi-
70 Times Republican

Special 10 Times Republican
Des Moines. Oct. e3.-When John
Cownie set out TO make sure OF place
for himself on the board OF control
again by a boost for his old friend,
John 7. Hamilton. he overshot the
mark by trying 10 make a point OF
comparisons that do not compare. To
make 1t appear that Hamilton was
economical he compared appropriations
which Hamilton got with total ex-
penditUres. In order to make the sS01.-
$50 OF appropriations Hamilton and
Cownie got from the legislature in 1907
look small ne quotes from a board OF
control report showing previous ex-
penditures of sS.426,5 49o5. The con-
trast was SO striking and so startling
that great many people were at first
deceived aid many We're led 10 be-
iieve that Hamilton had really made q
record for reducing expenditures.
But a closer investigation showed
that the larger figure Cownie injected
into the controversy is not only APP
preparations but much larger support
fund about which nothing had been
said, and it is carefullp concealed by
Cownie Then he proceeds 10 admit
that the figures that have been quoted
by republicans are absolutely correct
only that the appropriations were cred
tied To the wrong legislatures, ana
with this slight change no fault can
be found with them. Cownies ad
mission settles 1t that while Hamilton
was IN office ne made no move toward
reducing expenditures and therefore
has no record in fact as business
and economy candidate" which is his
claim.
The fact appears that the expenses
of the board of control have contin-
ued TO increase right along, year after
year and so increased while Hamil-
ton was a member and will continue
TO increase SO long as the price OF
living is rising as now and the num-
Der of inmates at the institutions in
creases annually In defense of the
board from the attacks made by Can
didate Hamilton on the record Of
Commissioner Hamilton and associates
the republicans presented the facts
and gave this statement which Cownie
has avoided quoting:
But in fact every dollar given the
board Of control was well invested The
fact that the appropriations were large
| did not prove nor indicate fraud or
collision or waste or extravaganza OF
Incompetence"
The only person who has accused
any one OF extravaganza is Candidate
Hamilton. His indictment ran asains,
Mr. Cownie and all other state off
cials Cownie has rushed into prin,
70 defend himself, but overlooks the
fact that it was Hamilton and not the
governor nor any republican, who put
| up the argument that merely because
| expenses Of state institutions have in
creased there must have been waste
Now Cownie confirms in full the show
, ing that at least Mr.. Hamilton has ne
| record on which to base a claim thai
! he knows anything about how TO DC

| Cownie's admissions make the accuse
ton of Candidate Hamilton agains
! Commissioner Hamilton and everybody
else appear ridiculous.

Harding was attacked because he is

charged that while he served in the
legislature as representative from

favored the saloon interests.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Day's Dealing In All
the Leading Stocks.


New York. March 27.--The progressive
decline In stock exchange transactions
proceeded today to point which brought
down speculation to minimum proper
the last few days continued Weakness
developed in spots, but losses in most in
stances were held to fractions. In the
hrst hour, usually the most active of the
day. transactions footed up 5000 shares.
Fluctuations were SO narrow that pro-
fessional traders had few opportunities.
and In the latter part of the day they
left the market practically to itself.
The diseouraging feature from the
standpoint of traders committed to the
long side was the comparatively wide de-
cline Of a few issues. In spite of the fact
that no severe pressure was directed
against them. Lehigh Valley stood out
most conspicuously among these stocks.

especially heavy. Its decline was attrib-

forecasts Of an unusually large beet SUI

Tracing was dull abroad as well as in

There was an easier tendency in the

The invading Of more territory after

and the resulting list of victories
speaks for itself. as does the fact that
no less than four teams cancelled
games after agreeing to play.
Aside from the success of the team

that is too often overlooked in ath

by the Augusta team in their efforts

To the Sporting Editor of the Kenne-
bee Journal:
AS a baseball fan witnessing some
of the first-class exhibitions last sum-
mer | feel that it is no more than
proper for me to put forth few ideas
which may become suggestions for
those who plan for coming local sea-
son.
/ have read with interest the letters
from other fans and think their sug
gestions should be followed if posi-
BILE.
The matter of improving the grounds
could well be started now and with
the aid of the High School and public
spirited citizens a baseball diamond,
properly situated and leveled as we'll
as a suitable grand stand and bleach
ers should be an easy matter.
The suggestion that some form of
entertainment be given was read and
particularly the suggestion that some
sort of a playlet representing life in
a training camp be given by the local
boys, sounds good to me. 1t would be
an attraction par excellence and
should be well patronized.
Now that we read of the big teams
preliminary games, certainly If we are
going to have baseball this summer,
and l don't see any reason why we
cannot, someone ought to start some
thing soon. Already out at Winthrop
a Coffee party has been given for the
benefit of the baseball team. Are we
here in Augusta, going to let them get
ahead of us in any particular? / say
no, and that a real ball team Is wanted
and is bound to come if only we will
get together and pull in the right way
at the proper time.
Just Il suggestion to the directors
about umpires for this season will not
be amiss as we all know that as a rule
there was much dissatisfaction in this
particular last summer. When the d.
rectors meet and / trust that will be
very soon, it would be we'll for them
