Hadley has been attorney-general for Missouri nearly four years. He has spent more of the state's money, twice over, than any astoroey gener- althe state ever had. He has had more than twice the number of sala- tied assistants than was allowed to his predecessors tn ottice. With all this what has be done, other than to tun an extremely successful prese bureau in bis own Interest ag the prospective candidate of tte Repub- lean party for Governor, Such a press bureau as maintained by Had- ley, with Rush ©. Lake and Frank Blake, two of his assistants, at ite head, was never before equaled {no Missourl, Will some republican brother point to any work done by these two pald assistants, other than giving to the public press reporte|, . trom the attorney general’s office. Nota week was permitted to pass without newspaper_head-lineson prepared newspaper articles, being given out to the metropolitan pa- pers. If no other excusefor publicity appeared, some letter of the office was taken as the subject. And all this to the end that Hadley might be made Governor. Other attorney: generals, without @ press bureau in the office, accomplished some results and put some cash tn the state treas- ury. What has Hadley done? Where {a the cash he has placed in the state treasury? Where is the trust that he has busted? He has thoroughly advertised himeelf, whether in or out of the atate, but when that fs saldall has been said. The people of Mis- sour! are not to be misled by the re- ports of Mr. Hadley’s own press bureau, bat have been patiently awalting results, which have not come, They are tired of flashy head- lines to prepared articles, and will not be fooled by them {n November. WILD-CAT BANKING, Republican pollticlans who have feasted upon the campaign contribu: tlons made by the National Banke, and other large fiaanclal interests, are, of course, denouncing the Democratic idea of requiring all banks to secure and indemolfy their depositors, a8 a scheme of “wildcat banking.”” Not #0, however, with the sensible Republican farmer and busi- ness man who has had a “touch of high life” by losing his deposit in some failing bank. Banks, like rall- roads, are in @ senee public service corporations. In such institutions the public has an interest There ean be nothing in the nature of “a wildcat scheme of banking” in pase- ‘og a law tn the interests of the depo- sitors rather than in the interests of the bank corporation officials. Such 8 law will put a atop tobigh cotftrib- utfons to campaign funds, and make secure the money of the depositor. Republican newspapers are trying to make capital out of the fact that two wards in St. Louis went over- whelmingly for Cowherd in the recent primary. They hope to estrange the supporters of Mr. Ball by thie mesh- od. These same papers are extreme- _ banks. cratic party Will get no ussietance trom trusts. great corporations and insurance companies.
