A series of reports upon the conduct of the state anditor’s office under the administration of Robert C. Dunn, now republican candidate for governor of Minne- sota, has been issued from the office of the state public exam- iner, S. T. Johnson, accusing Mr. Dunn of grave irregularities in office. The public is already in posses- of Mr. Dunn’s detailed reply, but in weighing the relia- bility of the accusations made it is no more than prudent, as well as reasonable and right, tocon- sider the source from which they eminate. Who is the man who makes these charges against the repub- lican nominee for governor? He is the state examiner and has held office nearly four years. During the first three years of his term of office no word of censure for Mr. Dunn passed the lips of the public examiner. If the mismanagement of the state auditor’s office was so gross, why did the public examiner so long hold his peace? If heis so dili- gent to do the public weal, why did he so long neglect it? What manner of public official is it that is so long indifferent to public wrong? sion But the public examiner be- comes suddenly and keenly alive to the grave wrongs the people have suffered. The beginning of the campaign for governor rouses him to extraordinary action. No time and money — the state’s time and money—is spared in laying bare these wrongs. Who is the man so long inactive, so suddenly and fiercely active? He is the appointee of the personal enemy of the republican nominee {or goverror. Is it possible that fact bas anything to do with such peculiar actions? There is a bit of northern Min- nesota history which throws a good deal of light upon the relia- bility and disinterestedness of reporl‘fs emenating from the off- ice of the public examiner under the administration of Mr. John- son. This history is about two years old and was made in Polk county. The Minneapolis Journal (now so strenuous in up holding John- son’s charges against Dunn) one day printed, under great head- lines, on the first page a story of how George A. Ralph, of Polk county, state drainage engineer, had stolen large sums from the state in the performance of his official duties. The accusation fell like a clap of thunder upon Polk county where Mr. Ralph had lived for years and where his integrity had been proven many The Polk county grand jury had just met. The public examiner appeared before it. The grand jury returned an indictment against Mr. Ralph. But a few hours before the in- dictment left the grand jury room, the Minneapolis Journal published a full textofit. (No one but Mr. Johnson and the grand jury could possibly give out this information. Did the grand jury telegraph it to the Journal?) The day set for Mr. Ralph’s trial came on. The governor, at the solicitation of the public examiner, appointed an eminent twin city attorney to conduct the prosecution. The case was called and the eminent times over, twin city attorney moved to dis- miss the case and to quash the rmgmm Roosevelt When you have 2 vs Parker selected your can- didate come around and see our - = —Sh 0es No matter who is running, you will have to walk. busy the whole year wearing them out.
