Whitman of New York county, In his fearless crusade against graft and grafters In and af fecting public office, and they wonder at the real motive actuating Governor Martin H. Glynn in his outspoken op position to Mr. Whitman and Mr. Whitman's work. In refusing to appoint Mr. Whitman as a special assistant attorney gen eral to conduct graft Investigations throughout the state, and so defying public opinion, and in issuing bis lengthy statement denunciatory of Mr. Whitman a few days ago. Governor Glynn has set himself squarely against a state wide graft probe of the ef fective description that could and would bring results warranting the company, 400—’Tracey Farley, Bingham ton.

The list bus been banging there for more than a mouth, and every few days in that time a clerk bus taken it down and added to it. The assist ants to Mr. Whitman who pass in and out of the office refer to it as \the sandbagged list.'' It is expected that state contractors who built public roads will continue to come to Mr. Whitman's office lor months. There are some 4uu In all, and it Is believed that they have been sandbagged into contributing an im mense sum to the politicians A S u s p icious Increase. That the moneys spent of late on building and repairing roads and iu maintaining the highways department alone lias increased by many hundreds of thousands of dollars is a matter of public record. As an example: In 1910 the appropriation for the de partment was $3,530,157.74. In 1913 It was $5,534,081.59. Those official fig ures show an increase in three years of $1,998,523.85.

Mr. Whitman is absolutely merciless with those members of the bar who have aban doned the high s’nndnrda of their cell ing and descended to rime. Among those who have fallen into his net are Vercy L.

So far ns the legality of his appoint ment was concerned, the laws of the state of New York plainly empower the governor to appoint special deputy attorney generals. A precedent has, in fact, been established by United States Supreme Court Justice Charles H. Hughes, who when governor of the state appointed Mr. Whitman to that office to conduct investigations In elec tion cases in Clinton county. Three valid indictments were found as a re sult of that appointment. Is It possible there Is fear In high quarters that Mr. Whitman knows too^ much about conditions existing and al-‘ leged to exist In the department of highways and In other state depart ments; that he Is too relentless In pur suit of crime; that he Is too thorough ly equipped and cannot be “handled7’’ Already his operations in relation to the obtaining of campaign contribu tions for the Democratic state com mlttee have resulted in five Indict ments, and more are expected to occur. Already he lias shown officially that the following .persons and companies among others doing business with the state were \shaken down” for Demo cratic campaign funds In the sums tab ulated: IND IV ID U A L S . 1360. *160—’J.

When Mr. Whitman was a student Ht Amherst me of his Instructors said “Whitman is made of determination to the very marrow. Once he star « something he will sec It to the finish. Deiwnd on that.” This pretty well sums up the Charles S. Whitman of today. It Is agreed that the administration of the district attorney's office is almost entirely a matter of the fearlessness and deter mination of the district attorney him Mr. Hinman gave specific figures In twenty-nine maintenance cdBtracts in the counties of Saratoga, Suffolk, On tario, Cayuga, Onondaga, Broome, Os wego, Erie.

It makes no difference whether Mr. Whitman or any one else conducts the investigation so long ns the man who does so bos the necessary know! edge of the \leads'’ that will show actual proof of wrongdoing and has ample resources at bis command. So far as Mr. Whitman is concerned, he Is going ahead with the Investiga tion of the sordid details of politl ill sandbagging for partisan purposes in every case In his jurisdiction of which j be has Information, and any Insinun- | tioqs that he Is actuated by political ; motives In his attitude toward grafters. | as Governor Glynn has charged, are, in the words of the district attorney I himself, “unworthy of their source.\ ; Mr. Whitman Is proceeding with his ; political graft Inquiry * t as tbor- j oughly *s he did with the trials of the following Influential men (among the many) whom he convicted of crimes Anything to Sell Buy or Exchange? more of the office than ever was made of It before his time is pretty general ly admitted. On the east side of New York city, where thugs and band men and Tammany Hail \guerrillas\ or \repeaters\ at the polls herd and mul tiply, the mere mention of the name of Whitman will set the hardiest treui bling. Perhaps no. man is more hated by i lawbreakers than the present district attorney, yet lie ' as never carried a weapon In his life and goes about the city at all times of the day and night unprotected. Whether or not Governor Glynn ud- i Imres to his statement that ho will not ran for governor next fall, he has rais ed one of the chief Issues on which the campaign will be fought. The issue of economy, so frequently taken down from the political shelf and dusted nrd regilded for new use, pales Into In significance before the Issue of honesty In conducting the business of the For bow can any government be con ducted economically when faithless administrators and employees are per mitted to remain under cover, dlsslpat ing state moneys and exacting tribute for partisan campaign funds without fear of suffering the consequences of their unlawful acts?
