HADLEY'S ATTACK

Several days ago Ex-Governor
Hadley published an attack up
on the Democratic State admins
tration in the Globe-Democrat.
His two main charges were eX-
travagance and nepotism. He
also glorified himself to a con-
siderable extent.
State Auditor John P. Gordon
has replied to this attack in a
red-hot interview in which he
not only takes the hide off the
Ex-Governor, but has hung it
upon the fence to dry. 1t is the
best article Of the kind that has
been printed in a long time, and
every word Of it is true.
AS to the charge of extrava-
gance, which would be serious
were it true, the Auditor shows
that during Governor Hadley's
administration the sum of $685.
930.88 was added to the payroll
per year, while the increase dur
ing Governor Majors admins
tration has been but $218,86768|
per year, and the big item in
this is the establishment of the
State Public Service Commits
sion, the costliest single branch
of the State government, and
which was not in existence dur
ing Governor Hadley's admins
tration.
On the score of nepotism the
Auditor rubs it in good and hard
on the Governor, who opened his
term by placing his father-in-
law in good position. The
Governors example was follow
ed by other Republicans as in
dicated: The State Game and
Fish Commissioner put two of
his own family on the pay roll
the State Beer Inspector found
good job for his hopeful son,
and the Superintendent of Build
ing and Loan Associations APP
pointed his wife a deputy under
him. The Labor Commissioner
gave a good birth to his son, and
the Warden of the Penitentiary
cared for his brother-in-law. |
And this is not all. The Repub-
lican Chief Justice Of the Su-
preme Court put his son on the
pay roll and the Superintendent |
of Public Schools founo a good |
place in his own Office for his
sister-in-law.
Before the Ex-Governor criti-
cises Democrats for extrava-
gance or nepotism he should ex-
plain his own bad example, if |
the practices are to be condemn
