GOVERNOR GRAHAM
STILL GOVERNS
Absence of Developments in Recent
Scandal Mystifying to State Re
publican Leaders

MONTPELIER, Sept. $50 far as
can be learned there are no new devel,
opments in the situation created by
the revelation of shortages in the of
flee of auditor of accounts while
Governor Graham was the incumbent.
The one mystifying thing is the com
plete lack of developments.
When a sub committee of the state
Republican committee visited the
governor at Craftsburv and told him
that 1t was the opinion of LEADING Re-
pubhcans that he should resign. the
members of the committee say that
the governor said that he was willing
to take such course and said that
has resignation would be with the
secretary of state within two or three
days. There were some matters he
IS reported as having said, that he
ought TO attend to and not pass over
to his successor
Immediately thereafter Governor
Graham made several appointments.
and It was supposed this was the I'M
finished work he had in mind. But
nothing happened The governor still
governs, the resignation has not
reached the secretary of state and it
IS said that the governor has no III
tentlon Of LAYING down tie powers Of
his office. What has happened no one
seems to know. There is an air of
mystery surrounding il All. Meanwhile
the expert accountants are busy going
over the books.
