The state examiners’ report of moneys ille- gally squandered by officials, the Sullivan dis- closures, the grand in the ferry deal an d i ury indictments for graft n the purchasing depart- ment and the indictments for banking irregu- larities relating to the ferry-shipyard mix-up and which helped bring about the collapse of a great financial institution—all these develop- ments have newly awakened the voters. A house cleaning will doubtless result. A house cleaning is years overdue. It is fortunate that an election is near so that the renovation can be started at once.
