RECORD HAUNTS G. 0. P. ASPIRANT FOR TREASURER Ora J. Davies Recently Made Good Shortage as Howard County Official. COST ONE MAN JOB Ora J. Davies, republican nominee for treasurer of state, recently made good a large shortage in his accounts as county treasurer of Howard county, it was revealed today. The fact also was made known that in connection with the settlement of the shortage a false report was made by field examiners of the state boaid of accounts, resulting in the dismissal of Thad L. Major, one of the examiners. According to the records the hoard of accounts, under Gilbert H. Hendren, failed for four years to make an examination of the books of the treasurer of Howard county and the city of Kokomo. The first examination was ordered last year by Jesse E. Esehbaeh, the presi-dent-chief examinar of the accounts board. BOOKS EXAMINED AS DAVIES GOES OUT. The books were examined up to Dec. 31, 1918, the date on which Davies ceased to be county treasurer. Major and Horace Fosdick, field examiners, were assigned to the work. A report was later made showing that there was a deficit of $3,181.77 in the Barrett law funds, $91.39 in other city funds and $329.31 in county funds, totaling $3,602.47, all of which was handled by Mr. Davies as treasurer. The return of this money was demanded by the board of- accounts and Major and Fosdick later reported that the total amount had been paid in cash. Nothing more came of the case until the examination covering the year 1913 was ordered. This time two examiners who had not previously worked on the books of the Howard county treasurer, Otto Weber and Richard Palmer, were assigned to make the examination. SHORTAGE NOT MADE GOOD WITH CASH. These examiners immediately reported that the previous shortage had not been settled in cash, but that Davies had placed in the cash drawer an unsecured note for $2,400 and that Thurman C. Sanders. who was a deputy under Davies, and is now county treasurer, had placed in the drawer an uncertified cheek for $1,202.47, making up the total of $3,602.47 which was supposed to have been paid In cash. Major and Fosdick were immediately called into the board of accounts' office and Major was discharged. Fosdick was then, and still is. in the midst of a long assignment which the board desires he should complete. It was also learned that Major had been Involved in a business deal with i Davies and that they were very close ! friends. AMOUNT CHARGED WITH $216 INTEREST. The amount was again charged up against Davies, with the addition of interest at 6 per cent, the latter amount- ; ing to $216.14. The amount of the charges were again demanded of Davies end he borrowed toe money and payed them in full in cash. • Davies is now the republican nominee for treasurer of state, a position ia which lie would be called upon to handle enormous sums of money belonging to the state.

"For a vice president to appear before a great religious body, the Southern Bap- ! tlst convention, one day and lecture them : about influencing congress on moral lsj sues, and the next day champion the outlawed liquor interest at a bar assoj elation in Virginia does not Inspire conj fidence ip his sound judgment or coni slstency.” Boy Runs to Meet Daddy, Hits Auto Harold Brophy, 3 years old, son of Joe Brophy. 1174 Kentucky avenue, was painfully, but not seriously, Injured \\ hen he was struck by an automobile this afternoon.
