appointee for the short or Initial
term of this office and for which po- jc
sltlon I am a candidate to succeed e,
myself at the primary to be held on p
Friday. September 20th. ra
The following are the facts in regard
to a conversation between Mr.
Windley and myself; On the night .
Mr. Rood epolre In. the .CoHJ House |
a few wspka since, after the speaking
and while on the way to the poetoffice.
I met Mr. Windley on Main
street In front of Mr. Frizelle's store.
Mr. Windley stated that he wished
to talk with me about his running R
for Recorder. He had Just returned ?
from a trip in the country and 1 w
stated to him that 1 would talk with S|
him on the following day at any time ^
he might oall at my office. 1 did not
see him the next day. The following
night as I was leaving my office In u
company with Capt. Studdert, we met m
Mr. Windley on Main street, at the
steps that lead from Main street to
my office. Mr. Windley 'said ho
wished to see me. t After he said this
1 suggested that we wait until the
following ^ay. Mr. W'ndley insisted CJ
on going to my office and I went ^
back. Mr. Windley said he wished p
me to understand that he had no fdel- g
Ing against me In running sgainst k
me, but that he was after another ?
person and that to show me his good A
feeling f6'r me in the matter that if
on the first primary Mr. Bryan and
myself were the two highest, he ^
(Windley) would throw and deliver tt
his strength to ine. He then asked n
what I would do for him in th? event
tha't he (Windley) and Mr. llryuti ~
were the leaders! I told him I could
not deliver my strength to any one. tl
but that I, (W. D. Grimes), would j
give him my Individual vote. tl
Not a word was said as to any w
agreement If Mr. Windley and my- tl
self were the leaders in the prl- p,
mary. k
In the affidavit Is following: w
"The first primary g&ve-rae a major- u
ity of nineteen In the district over v,
Mr. Grimes. This being true it Is p,
nothing but right and fair he should g
carry out his agreement and bow to
the wishes of the majority." n
The people know the statement u
that ho received a majority is incor- a
rect as the official vote as certified to 6
and announced by the authorities n
hows that Mr. Windley got 967 j,
votes. 1| votes more than myself; 0
that I got 864 votes; that Mr! Bryan e
gdt 24Q votes, and Mr. Powlsr got S7 c,
votes, making a' total of 988 votes p
cast In the primary and a majority t
of that vote would be 600 votes. So t

Is the season when mil the govern- tn

mates (or the expenditures of the jyt
next flecal year, which, according to of I
law, must be completed by October of
15. Each head of a department sends was
his estimates first to the President cld<
for his approval, then thej^Tre sent fixe

who collects them Into one printed sals
book and they are forwarded to Con- one

year the House committee on appro- whi
prlations already has a force of $4,(
clerks at work preparing a skeleton prei
of thl8 very important document, all
from the estimates of last year, so Jjjgr
that when the department statements equ
are 'received, the two can be easily pari
combined, for the opening of Con- F
gress. As this is a short session and for
the passing of the legislative bill Ib ores
always a tedious process, it was deem- moi
ed best to get the bill in shape as torn
completely as possible so that no froE
time may be wasted In getting down buri
co ica consideration. the
The growth *f the country's busi- 1781
ness since the beginning of the pres- the
ent government in 1789 is nowhere and
more clearly indicated than in the 313,
budgets of the different years. In It
spite of continued efforts to lessen ex- age
penses the total has advanced by reau
leaps and bounds. The total appro- ernt
priations for the fiscal year 1912 atop
reached an aggregate of f 634,549,- of tl
561 and. through the efforts for w
economy made by the Democrats, the
that sum wag much less than was bera
appropriated for 1910 or 1911. eacfc
Of courae, there has been a great full]
deal of extravagance at times, but a doul
multitude Of causes have contributed Long
to increase the government expenses la b)
rn a perfectly legitimate way. One cedu
great contributing cause is the nals
growth of population which number- flnd
Ing in 1790, 3,929,214, had risen, ac- plac
cording to the census of 1910, to Com
91,972,266. This, correlating with of a
our growth of industries and com- it v
merce, naturally necessitate an in- time
crease of government work. Salaries ruin
have been raised but by no means M
universally in proportion to the in- whi<
crease in the cost of living. ed s
It is interesting to refer back to get
the 8tate papers and dote the dif- thin
ferences in salary and in the num- othe
her of clerks employed in certain of- are
fices in 1790 and in 1912. The salary mea
of the President was the cause of orgs
much discussion in the first Congress, itH 1
in view of the fact that the C'onsti- a b\
tution declared that the President espc
should rpceivp rnmnemoliftn tr\r hi
services. Washington had notified this
his fellow citiiens that he ITeSlred no clpe
salary. The limits suggested in Con- serv
gresB ranged from $16,000 to $70.- bcsi
000. The salary was finally placed ?rto
at $25,000 and this remained the a hi
compensation until President Grant's like
second term (March 3, 1873), when well
