THEIR" SECRETARY OF STATE.
Inspector SeweIl and Secretary
of State Lewis do no Agree.

rfduklOrt, n.y., OepC. It-A IepOTt
by State Inspector and Examiner Nat
B, Sewell on the Office of the Secretary
of State presents symposium of his
views and those of Secretary of State
James P. Lewis on the points involved
in permitting the Office employees to
share in the expense of the contest ill.,
stituted by Barksdale Hamlett to GUST
Judge Lewis and his force, and in en-
ploying members of his own family at
clerical work.
AIR. Sewell criticized severely what
he terms boosting" salaries at the
end of the fiscal year to the extent of
the annual appropriation, and embod-
led reply of Judge Lewis to these
points in his report.
Mr.. Sewell said Judge Lewis paid
his clerks their salaries in full and
they refunded to him or Al. Sturgill,
then in his office their pro rata of the
expenses of the contest
Concerning this Judge Lewis sad:
"As TO what they did with this
money hardly think it part of your
Office duty to make inquiry, but for
your information L will state that
after returns were in, showing my
opponent. BarksdaIe Hamlett, brought
an injunction suit. RS.
EMPLOYMENT OF LAWYERS.
"To defend this suit it was neces-
sary to employ numerous lawy ers to
take dispositions and mandamus cleo.
tion officers to do their duty.
"After winning the certificate Of
election before the commission, having
it supported in five suits be
fore Circuit Judges, and having finally
won in the Court of Appeals at total
cost of about $1,000, 1 think my op
ponent should have been satisfied.
However he next instituted gen.
eral contest, which placed every clerk
desk in my office in contest. There.
fore was and am under the impress
sion that it was the moral duty of
every clerk in this department to pay
his proportional part of the expense OF
these contests, the total of which
amounts to nearly $1,000"
Judge Lewis then takes up the last
critism:
II understand that because 1.-The
monthly payments 1 made to clerks
did not fully consume the appropria.
ton for this office you contend that /
did wrong in dividing the balance be
tween the Office force at the end of the
year.
II understand from the Auditors
office that it was the practice of al
departments with appropriations, &c
distribute any balance at the end Of
the year to the working force -
SAT the present time" Mr.. Sewel
says, Secretary Lewis has his daugh,
ter, Miss Rose Lewis, az S166.66 the
month: his SOD, Edison Lewis, at SIP.
so, and until June, 1917, his son, J. E.
Lewis, at s125.
Salaries in the Secretary of States
office Mr.. Sewell said, ''are very much
higher than in various other depart
ments."
