Orr was .prosecuting ^attorney of the coulnty there were a'number of bills-appi-oved -by him- and allowed, by the county that Inter were found to be Illegal by the State Examiner and. in his report he says: •- “The effect of a prosecuting attor­ ney allowing the payment Of buc I i bills by the county when he himself admits there is no authority of law Is far reaching and. does not argue well for the just administration of public affairs in this county.” He further says, after enumerating the duties of prosecutor that' some of these duties have been sadly neg­ lected during the period covered by the examination which was from ’June, 1007, to October, 1910. Previous to this examination by Mr. Brown there had been an examination by another state examiner Covering a period from September 1, 1903, to July 1 ,1&07, and in that time heiound that there had been paid out of the treasury o f Greene county IN ILLE­ GAL FEES THE SUM OF $4,838.23, niid on the 14th day of December. 3907, this amount was certified along with the, findings by the Auditor of Stdte, Mr, Gilbert, to W.

And although it whs' his auty under the statutes to collect this money back Into the treasury no step -was taken by diim to do so and the •state examiner in commenting on this says On pftgo 123 of hfs report: ,■ “None o f the findings of the ex­ aminations previously made havo been paid Into the county treasury, nor Have Any Proceedings Been Institut­ ed by the Prosecuting Attorney to Recover Samd.*' 5 THE PROSECUTING ATTORNEY REFERRED TO IS THE SAME’ IV, F, ORR, Who again seeks the office) claiming that ho can stive money for the county.

President Taft’s attitude toward pen­ sions for the veterans Of the civil war has been persistently misrepresented throughout this entire campaign by his opponents. Recently ’Representative Cyrus Sulloway o f New Hampshire, for many years chairman of the com­ mittee on pensions of the house of rep­ resentatives, went on record publicly In favor o f President Taft and against Mr.. Roosevelt, basing his judgment solely on the pension record bf the two candidates. Now Representative Isaac R. Sherwood of Ohio, author of the “dollar a day” pension bill, with which every old soldi# Is familiar; adds his testimony,in faVor of President Taft aud against Colonel Roosevelt on the pension record. The fact that General Sherwood is a Democrat only -adds tc the effectiveness of his statement; ns his solo Interest between Republican candidates Is to sep to-It that the In­ terests o f the old soldiers are fully and amply protected, In a recent letter .to hls.brother he wrote; What 1 said about President Taft was that Xbelieved he would sign a moderate pension blit that would cost about J15.O0O,- O00. But president Roosevelt for ail tho tlmo my -dollar a day pension bill was ponding In tho pension Committee, for al­ most four yearn, would not allow tho bill’ to bo reported to tho house, HO favored, however, liberal pensions for tho Spanish war soldiers.
