TO QUIT Governor Hanley Forced to Quit Speaking — His Health Will Not Admit of Such a Strenuous Life—Also a Hard Worker. By United Pre** New* Aaaociation. Indianapolis. Ind., June 15—Gov. Hanly intends to curtail his speech making trips immediately. He has to do it. His physician and his friends will compel him to do so. The governor is entirely worn out. I and to his family and friends he appears tobe ready to take to his bed with fever Before leaving for Madison. where, today, he leads theG. a“R parade, the governor admitted that he will have to quit traveling Iso mush, living irregularly and ' making so many speeches. A friend of the governor, wishing a little fun. said to him at the station Iwfore the trip to Madison: " Well, governor. I suppose you have your pass for this trip-’’ "Yes," he replied in all seriousness. "I have it. Here it is,” and he drew from his pocket a much used interchangeable mileage ticket, for which lie had paid |3O. I have used over four of these,” he continued," since I became governor, and at the rate I’m going now, if I don’t stop it, 1 will spend nearly |3OO yearly with the railroads. That's not counting incidental traveling expenses of course, and it means a total of 11,000 a year easily. Mrs. Hanly often accompanies me and I have not until just now lieen wise enough to buy her a mileage book, so there’s that much more at three cents per mile and expenses. Really it appears that it will take 11000 yearly out of my salary to pay for our traveling." Gov. Hanly is net a rich man and one of the reasons for "cutting out" these trips or so many of them is that he can't afford it. Another thng is that it takes him away from his work as governor. It is said ttat since the legislature adjourned he has not spent three whole days at work in the governor's office. This, however, does not mean that he don t work when he is at the office. On last Saturday for instance. Gov. Hanley arrived at his office and was at work at 6:15 a. m. At noon he slipped over to a lunch counter, drank a cup of coffee, was back at the office in ten minutes and was just leaving his office and his work at 6:30 p. m. This is a fair sample of how he works when he gets at it. He is as thorough as any one and as fast as —well, a” the new Pennsylvania, New York, Chicago flyer. |
