Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 56, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 March 1911 — GOVERNOR GOES BACK ON ACTION OF LAST SESSION. [ARTICLE]

GOVERNOR GOES BACK ON ACTION OF LAST SESSION.

Ip 1909 He Signed Bills for Relief of Democrats—This Tear He Vetoes Bill For Relief. Tom Marshall is a queer governor. Two years ago, he signed bills for the relief of officials who had lost public money in banks. This year he vetoes entirely similar bills. Two years ago the officials seeking relief were democrats. This year part of those seeking relief are republicans. Monday he vetoed the bill for the relief of Frank Padgett, treasurer of Benton county. Also bills for the relief of Chas. M. Blue and Alison A. Fell, former trustees of Marion and Carpenter townships, respectively. All these men had lost the public money which had been deposited ia banks considered perfectly sound and reliable. They were just as much entitled to relief as those who were granted it two years ago. But Governor Marshall has changed his mind since two years ago. He seems to have changed his mind on a good many things within the past two years. And the people will probably, change their mind about Governor Marshall. The bill for the relief of S. R. Nichols, which passed the senate Monday, will probably fall before the Governor. Nichols is a republican. Presidential timber? Marshall is fast falling from thd plane of common respect. He is playing politics. That neVer served but one purpose. It deceives the-man that follows it. Tom Marshall is showing that he is a two-by-four lawyer. Back to Columbia City for him.
