The Secretary's Statement.


The statement of Colonel James is as follows:
To the Public:
Since my last communication to the public
in regard to the action of my chief clerk, Mr..
James NJ. Hayes Jr., in securing list OF voters
of the State through my office, have obtained
full statement of the whole matter from Mr. Hayes
and | submit his statement In full herewith
1t is true, as Mr.. Hayes states In his letter to
me- that Mr. Writ f. Taylor came to see me some
time in April 1914. and asked that ] request Mr.
HAYES to supply Mr. f. G. Akers with certain IN
formation the nature of which Mr.. Akers would
explain to Mr.. HAYES. and called Mr. Hayes into
my Office and told him to help these gentlemen out
in any way that he could. then understood that
what Mr. Akers wanted information in regard
to or extracts from such public records as were
then on file in the office, such as list OF the
electoral boards and registrars.
In my letter published in the papers on
Monday May Is, 1914 stated that knew moth
ing of the matter until my attention was called to
it by Mr.. S. B. Wood6n. At that time did not
connect the conversation I had with Mr. Writ f.
TAYLOR with the securing of these lists of register
ed voters.
With this explanation il is my purpose to let
the matter rest, as in my opinion Mr.. Hayes con
duet in this matter does not call for his removal
from office.
Respectfully,
May 10, 1914.
