At the same time the President Is immeasurably gratified at the rapid development public opinion in support of his course. ! He is able today to receive a decided change for the better in this respect. WANTED —Paper to hang. 15 cents t per bolt. Call phone 448. 100t6.

‘ The Figures Given Again (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) the latter two being republicans. Tile Republican State Central Committee in it's statement says: "The last year of Governor Durbin's administration ended with a general fund balance in the treasury of $60,601.93.” By referring to page 19 of the Indiana House Journal of 1909. the republican state central committee will find the message of Governor Hanly on the eve of his departure from the State House to the General Assembly, in which he says: "On the 31st day of October, 1914, the close of the fiscal year last proceeding the present administration, the treasury balance was $60,601.93. but to obtain this balance advance payments from county treasurers had been called and received, and the re venues for 1905 anticipated in the sum of $154,740.00. But for these advance payments there would have been no treasury balance but a deficit of $94,137.07. The proceeding administration Governor Hanly refers to the administration of Governor Durbin. So that deficiencies were not a new thing to republican state administrations when Governor Hanly took hold. The Republican Bb|e Central Com : mittee says: "The Marshall administration. 1909. began with a balance rom the year 1908 of $493,117.46. Gov-1 rnor Marshall did not go into office , tor three and one half months after the close of the fiscal year. September 30. 1908. The $493,117.46 referred | to was expended by the Hanly admin-1 istration within fifteen days after the I -xpiration of the fiscal year, and that idministration in October. 1908. called tor advance payments from counties ‘.o the amount of $315,600.00. and a •ew days later in November, 1908. call'd for advance payments, amounting •o $105,600.00. so that the Hanly ad-1 ministration not only expended all the! money on hand at the close of the sis-1 cal year. September 30. 1908. but anti | jipated the revenues to the amount ot 1421,000.00. The Republican State Central Coi.T | •nit tee objects to the statement that -he Hanly administration turned over to the Marshall administration a de-1 ’iclency of s!.4ffi»mm and tries to ex-1 ilaln the expenditures of the Hanly idministration In 1905 when the disbursements were $506,778.30 more han the revenues of that year. The Hanly administration In the special >e««ion of the legislature of 1908. re ippropriated the unexpended balances of the republican appropriation bill of 1307. amounting to $926,192.91 until September 30, 1910. In 1909 the repub ■lean senate Increased the appropriation bill after it had passed the democratic house, $511,000. The revenues or 1909 were anticipated more than a million dollars to take tare of the republican appropriation bill o< 1907. Taking ali of these figures Into consideration Jhe estimate of the deficiency is very conservative indeed.The Republican State Central Committee also deplores that Mr. O'Brien did not tell his audience that on page 30 of his 1912 report, and on page 30 of his 1913 report, that there was an apparent discrepancy in the general fund net disbursement. The items referred to show the deduction of the trar>' 'er warrants from total disbursements to get the net disbursements of the general fund and was the method inaugurated by a Republican Auditor of State, and followed by every Re publican Auditor of the State from Daily to Billheimer.
