Tae 1915, ONE CENT i" : i: ©: SPEAK UP, GOVERNOR! : ERIOUS charges have been preferred against Gov. Lister, and he has remained silent. The governor is assuming an alarming position by silence under such critical circumstances. He }| has been charged—very directly—with being under financial obligations to his subordinates. Are the charges true or false? It is important that he answer. The people of the state are entitled to know. There has been a serious looting of the state industrial insurance fund. The governor is now investigating. Is he investigating men to whom he owes money? Is he in- vestigating men who made him a gift of money? These are no mere personal matters to Ernest Lister. The state is vitally interested. If the governor owes money to men who are under a cloud at this time; if he has received substantial sums from them, HE 1S NOT QUALIFIED TO CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION OF THEM. If these men are innocent, the governor’s exoneration of them under such circumstances will not suffice. It will not ease the public mind. Already many other charges are filling the air. Most of them—perhaps all of them—may be baseless. There is even a rumor that one of the commissioners offered to pay a claim on the industrial insurance fund if the injured workman would split with him. This rumor seems to have no basis of fact. Partisan newspapers and other political enemies of the governor are making, and will continue to make, as much political capital of the situation as they can get away with. Their motives for attacking the governor may not be ideal. But there is an ugly situation, nevertheless. This is not a question of politics. It is a question of good government, honest duty, and fair dealing. And as long as the governor remains silent, ugly charges will continue to bring about an unhealthy state of feeling thruout Washington. SPEAK UP, GOVERNOR!
