City Finances Told Of at Meeting
in Second Ward

Some startling statements concern
ing the city's financial status when
the Republicans came into Control,
with reference especially to the sink
ing fund, were made last night be-
fore a large audience at the regular
meeting of the Second Ward Repub-
lican Club by City Comptroller Olaf
J. Morganson. Mr.. Morgenson was
only one of the speakers who took as
their topic "City Affairs" the others
being former Mayor John +. Ten
Brock and John Pfeiffer.
Mr. Morgenson explained the con-
ditions found by him, left by Demo-
Gratis, when he took up the work of
handling the city's accounting. Fig
ures which he had compiled from the
statements and records on hand when
he took Office were used by the comp
troller to show the poor condition of
accounts a few years ago. He then
showed, substantiating his statements
with more figures, how the so-called
Chaotic condition" of finances had
been Strengthened out during the Re-
publican regime. The comptroller
cited instances in working with the
sinking fund of finding notes which
were not even signed or dated.

sand this meeting promises to break
all records of political gatherings held
in this city in several years.
In connection with the vote at the
primary election for County Clerk
Cannon it was pointed out today that
the fact that he polled about 600 votes
less than the total votes cast for the
three Democratic gubernatorial candi-
dates in this county. does not show
that he ran behind his ticket as many
who would have voted for Cannon
failed to do so owing to the lack of a
contest for this office. Clerk Cannon
was unopposed for the nomination
whereas there was a hot contest for
governor which brought out nearly
every Democratic vote.
