ARE THEY SO ASHAMED OF IT?

Kentland Paper* Silent on McCray Campaign Expense Report. f. A careful perusal of the Kentland papers fails to reveal any mention of would-be governor W. T. McCray’s official report of primary campaign expenses of 131,368.82. And yet this official report made under oath, was filed in Newton county and is of especial Interest to the voters of not only Newton county but the entire state. Why this conspicuous silence on the part of the newspapers in this candidate’s old home town? Also, why did he not file his statement in Indianapolis, the same as did his unsuccessful opponents, Toner and Fesler? It will be remembered that Toner spent $21,000 and Fesler over $60,000, and they didn’t make much of a campaign either. Mr. McCray’s long and thorough campaign, with expensive headquarters and numsrous campaign managers and sub-man-agers all over the state, together with the great amount of newspaper advertising, circular letters, posters, etc.; etc., costing all told but halt what Mr. Fesler expended, demonstrates that he is Indeed a trained business man.
