HANLY AGAINST THE SOLDIER.

At the last session of the legislature

a bill known as Senate Bill No. 48 was passed by both houses, practically without opposition. It provided that any honorably discharged soldier, sailor or marine of the United States, who was a resident of Indiana, and who made application for appointment and who served in the civil war, the war with Spain or the war in the Philippines and who "is honest and competent, shall be given the preference for appointment to be made by whatever administrative authority conferred by the state of Indiana, to any position paying not more than ninety dollars per month in any penal institution, benevolent institution, public building or other institution or employment maintained or conducted by the state of But this bill in the Interest of soldiers, sailors and marines did not become a law because Governor Hanly vetoed it and killed It Governor Hanly asks the people to vote for his “cause”—whatever that may be—but he makes no promise to check official extravagance or to reduce the heavy taxes imposed upon the people by the Republican administration. It should not be forgotten that Hanly is annually spending more of the public revenues, without adequate returns, than any governor the Itate ever had —many thousands of tollers more.
