THE STARVATION CHARGES

IL those Democratic newspapers. as
well as few disgruntled Republican
papers. who have gone out OF their
way in their attempts To dlscredit
Governor Hatfield and his adminlstra-
tion. had taken the pains TO properly
inform themselves on the subject,
they would not have engaged in the
campaign of Misrepresentation in
charging that the food supplies 10 in
mates OF the penal and charitable in
situations OF the State had been
skimped by the authorities TO star
Walton diet. But the question arises,
did they desire to be informed Of
the facts? There was no wall from
the inmates Of these institutions az To
the parsimony of the State in feeding
them. for there was no reason tor IL.
The papers attacking the administra-
ton on this point simply jumped at
conclusions without intelligent renec.
ton or inquiry into the real condi-
lions. and instead of discrediting the.
Governor and the administration they
will find that they have only brought
confusion upon themselves.
In the report OF the Board OF Con-
troll which was furnished the lceis-
laiure for its information 10 is shown
how the appropriation for current ex-
penses was expended. and that the
