REPUBLICAN "ECONOMY"
A. lies me of Republican Stewardship for
Sixteen Months Compared to m Like
Period Under Vastest
.Administration
At the republican ratification meet
ing in Lincoln in June of this year,'
when the selection of Mickey, et al.,"
by Baldwin and his conferees was rati
fied, a pretended platform was adopted
in which occurs this language:
"We commend the economy and re
trenchment inaugurated by the pres
ent state administration in the man
agement of state institutions."
Since then, up to within the past
week, but little has been said in sup
port of this plank. About the only
"retrenchment" this administration
has attempted was when Governor
Dietrich crippled the state university
by vetoing a needed appropriation."
And since the present warden at the
penitentiary ran through with a $35,
OuO appropriation in less than a year
it was intended tQ last two years the
republican papers have given the peo
ple nothing tangible in support of their
allegations as to the "economy" prac
tices at the different institutions.
There has been plenty of hot air, but
not figures.
The following letter covers the sub
ject, and needs no explanation:
Lincoln. Neb., Sept. 23, 1902. Hon.
Fred A. Nye, Kearney, Neb. Dear Sir:
I have yours of the 16th Inst inquiring
if our committee expect to prepare a
comparison of fact, figures, etc., be
tween the present republican state ad
ministration and. former fusion admin
istrations. Inasmuch as the republicans have
full charge at the state house, .and
have free access to all the records, I
have been waiting a long time for them
to take the initiative and present facts
in support of their assertions. You
will remember that your fellow-townsman,
the gentleman who does the at
torney general's work for a deputy's
pay except when there are "friends of
the court" around, sounded what was
called a "key-note" at the meeting' of
republican delegates in June, called to
ratify "the selections made at the fam
ous conference of railroad attorneys
ten days prior thereto. You will
doubtless remember his statement that
"there stood at the end of the first
year to the credit of the present state
administration the sum of $87,231.61.
Republicans, one of the material issues
of this campaign is, ''Shall the state
and the taxpayers be again turned
over to the tender mercies of deficiency
builders, salary . purloiners and inter
est collectors?" Fow, Norris Brown
is a pleasant gentlt. lan to meet, and
a good lawyer, but he fell into the er
ror of using some statistical matter
cooked up in the State Journal and
Evening News in April this year, re
markable chiefly for the things omit
ted. For example, the penitentiary was
entirely omitted from both tables, and
the Kearney school and Milford sol
diers' home from one of them. The
point sought to be made that the re
publican officials had refrained from
spending quite half of what the legis
lature of 1901 had said they might
spend in two years. But that did not
prove that they had spent less than
their fusion predecessors had in a like
period to time. To illustrate: The leg
islature of 1899 appropriated large
sums for erecting new buildings, but
did not give enough for current ex
penses. ' The result was that deficien
cies were incurred at a number of in
stitutions, chiefly in the items of fuel
and lights, and board and clothing.
The legislature of 1901 appropriated
much less for buildings and other per
manent improvements, but gave near
ly $110,000 more for current expenses,
as the following will show:
Comparison of appropriations for
current expenses
1899. 1901.
Asylum, Hastings $176,800 $204,400
Asylum Lincoln 117,450 145,725
Asylum, Norfolk 102,800 97,050
Penitentiary 32,950 36,500

Neb. City school 48,875 45,975
"Sol. Home, G. 1 78,870 97,810
Sol. Home, Milford.. 16,790 20,880
Home for Friendless 32,000 32,500
Industrial home 18,170 20,650
Totals $878,935 $988,915
Accordingly, the republicans could
spend $53,000 a year more than was
allowed the fusionists for current ex
penses, and still keep within their ap
propriations. As a matter' of fact the
statement made by Mr. Brown was
not true, because the penitentiary,
Milford soldiers' home, and Kearney
school, had each used up more than
one-half their respective allowances
in the first year (the penitentiary had
used its $35,000 for "maintenance" all
except 52 cents by the 11th day of
March, 1902 less than a year), and
these were conveniently omitted from
the statistical table from which he se
cured his information. But whether
half was used In one year, or less than
half, the real question is, How much
was spent, and is this more or less
than was .spent by the fusionists in :
the same length of time in maintaining
an equal number of inmates? This is
the rear question.
The only attempt that has been made
by the republicans to show any com
parative figures was a table printed
in the Lincoln Evening News, April
17, 1902. Shortly after it appeared I
showed the inaccuracies and unfair
ness in it in a series of articles in the
Nebraska Independent. A sample will
suffice. For a year's expenses at Bea
trice the figures given were:
Fusion $56,896.28
Republican 37,159.12
Republican "saving". .. .$19,737.16
- Investigation showed that the fusion
figures Included $26,776.04 expended on
four new buildings, but the republi
can figures did NOT include $13,713.90
expended in the purchase of land. - Af
ter eliminating from both sides the ex
penditures for buildings, land and
other betterments and repairs, I found
the expenditures for current expenses
as follows: ; ....
Republican $33,556.62
Fusion . . '. : 26,819.84
Difference favor" fus ion.... $ 6,736,78
TTT.a--t niTfTVif tn nut n .nnf.nnnW.f ""
thing had been done regarding the sol
diers' home at Oqtnd Island and the
school at Omaha. The comparison
was worthless it was worse than that,
because It was purposely intended to
deceive.
Since the receipt of your letter I
have examined the records In the audi
tor's office and prepared a comparative
table covering the period from April 1;
3 899,; to August 31, 1900, under Gov
ernor Poynter's administration, and
the period from April 1, 1901, to Aug
ust 31, 1902, under Governors Dietrich
and Savage. This Is apparently 17
months, but really only sixteen fdr
all but about two of the institutions,
because August claims are usually paid
In September and neither appropria
tion was available for claims incurred
prior to April 1. This does- not mat
ter, however, as both sides are treated
alike. I have taken the auditor's war
rant record for my authority it shows
what was paid.
In order to get at the matter intel
ligently, I have divided; the appropria
tions Into'1 three classes: (a) those
for current expenses, such as . board
and clothing, fuel and lights, etc. (b)
those for' repairs and replacements,
(c) those for buildings and other per
manent improvements, new engines,
furniture, and the like, and designated
them for convenience as maintenance,
repairs, and betterments, respectively.
The division cannot be made exact to
a cent, because some appropriations
cover , all three classes of items (us
ually small), ; but whatever I have
called an appropriation for one side I
have called it for the other. I have
omitted the Institution at Beatrice
from the summary, because from May
until some time in the fall the4 super
intendent was holding on at the end of
a lawsuit and only a part of his vouch
ers were being allowed; this would
make his apparent expenditures too
small for a fair comparison and we
can afford to be fair even if the other
fellows do try the flim-flam .game.
As it is necessary to a clear under
standing of the situation, I give below
the population (that is to say, the in
mates) of the various institutions, as
shown by the records In the governor's
office: r-;"Tjt'..:

The large growth in population at
the two soldiers' homes is doubtless
exaggerated. The republican figures
are doubtless the; total enrollment and
include those put pn parole, while the
fusion figures xe,-jnade up from the
average of the roll calls for six months.
It is also remarkable to note the
growth :h population at the peniten
tiary, notwithstanding the efforts made
by the prer-ent governor to keep it
down. Ho'vever, these are the official
figures and we must accept them.
The comparison of expenditures in
th9 periods named above is as follows:
Twelve State Institutions. (Bea
trice Omitted.)
Republican. Fusion. '
Apr.l.'Ol.to Apr.l,'99,to
Aug.31,02. Aug.31,'00.

Betterments ... - 79,258.10 123,714.80
Totals .....$671,597.45 $660,736.76
Oiir inquiry is now concerning the
item of ma menance. It will be seen
that thp republican expenditure is $5,
400 groater than that of the fusionists
for this item but that of itself proves
r-otiilug ui.til we compare the number
of inmates maintained. We find that
there wre 2j3 additional inmates un
der republican administration, and it
Qont the state 5,400.16 additional to
care for them. That is $272.90 to each
inmate U r 1& months.
Nowr the; 2,521, inmates were cared
for ti.i length of" time by the fusion
adminibtra'lon at the cost of $206.69
each, but the whole 2,723 inmates un
der republican administration cost
$211. 1 apiece. , That settles the ques
tion of which cost the more. So far as
dollars and cents "are concerned this is
probably the best record ever made by
any republican administration but it
falls short of the. fusion record by con
siderable.. The item of "maintenance"
for, the several , institutions included
in the above follows:

tions ,

The best index to what an adminis
tration Is doing is found by lodking at
the cost of maintaining the insane asy
lums and the penitentiary. We need
say nothing about the fires at Norfolk
and the penitentiary. Those were uhr- !
doubtedly the result or republican neg
ligence and carelessness and the tax
payers lost heavily. " Had these losses
occurred under fusion . administration,
we should never have heard the last
of them. Owing to the Norfolk fire and
the consequent removal of patients to
the other two places, we shall ' treat
the three as one in our comparison.
The figures are:
Inmates. Cost. Per capita.
Rep. .......1.399 $254,805.51 $182.13
Fus. ... . ...1,321 7; 221,649.23 167.79
Rep. inclTr. r78 :$ 33,156.28 $ 14.34
, The fusionists cared for ; 1,321 In
mates at these asylums at a total cost
of. $221,649.23, Jor $167.79 each for the
period named. An addition of 78 in
mates under republican rule cost the
show much republican economy with
such figures. - For every inmate In
these Institutions, the republican cost
is $14.34 greater than the fusion cost
for exactly, the same length of time.
This is what the records show.
The penitentiary record is even
worse. -It is such a sore spot that the
republicans hate to even think about
it. After the uisastrous fire down there
the warden got so muddled that Gov
ernor Savage was obliged to call upon
a populist to go down and get mat
ters straightened up. Warden Lei
digh in 1898 had succeeded in running
the penitentiary a whole year on a
little less than $7,500 from the gen
eral fund, and was of the opinion he
could get along the next two years with
only $30,000, using in addition, of
course, the convicts' earnings. It
transpired thct this was too little; but
his successor. Warden Hopkins, made
the $30,000 last a little over fifteen
months up to July 17, 1900, when he
had used all but $97.54 of it His suc
cessor. Warden Davis, started in with
$35,000 from the general fund and had
it . all spent but 52 cents by the 11th
day of March, 1902, a little less than a
year. Aside from what he gets from
convicts' earnings, Davis has been
running on tick since that time. Hop
kins had about $22,000 of "deficien
cies;" Davis will surely have in the
neighborhood of $50,000. Comparison
for this Institution is as follows:
Inmates. Cost. Per capita.
Rep 332 $71,167.45 $214.36
Fusion 273 53,887.59 197.39
Rep. inc....... 59 $17,279.85 $16.97
It cost Warden Hopkins $197.39
apiece to care for 273 convicts; but the
additional 59 under Davis' "redemp
tion" cost an additional $17,279.86, or
$292.88 a head. But this is not all: On
August 31, 1900, Warden Hopkins had
been running "on tick" a little over
six weeks from July 17. But on Aug
ust -31, 1902, Warden Davis had been
buying on time (running up defic
iencies) ever since March 11 over five
and a half months. Neither Hopkins
nor Davis had enough appropriated
to run the penitentiary without a de
ficiency, but the records show which
man made the best of a bad situation.
It costs Davis about $12 a year more
than it did Hopkins to care for each
convict.
Will the foregoing be sufficient in
formation along this line? I have not
thought it necessary to make the ta
bles too extended, because they are
harder to understand. I have directed
my inquiry along the lines of finding
.out the exact truth, believing that in
the long run figures "prepared for
partisan purposes are of little use. The
record made by the fusionists under
Governors Holcomb and Poynter, both
in efficiency and economy, has never
been equalled. The present republi
can officials some of them have un
doubtedly done better than some of
their republican predecessors,, but none
of them have yet learned the ar of
attending to the state's business with
the same watchful care that charac
terized the fusion administrations.
There is a reason for this: 'Long years
c: power in Nebraska had an enervat
ing effect upon the republican party;
ability to control one's ward was
placed above business ability; and the
result was administration by officers
who never counted the cost, who cared
nothing about that, because it was
somebody else's money they were
spending. Yours very truly,
CHARLES Q. DE FRANCE.
Attorney -General Broady
In every campaign the fight centers
upon the candidates for governor, and
as it grows in intensity there is often
an apparent neglect of the other can
didates. This is d3cidedly a good thing
for a candidate like Attorney General
Prout The less his record is scrutin
ized, the better' for him. But we must
not allow the people to forget his con
duct in the suit against the Standard
Oil company, the starch trust suit, or
the Rosewater mandamus suit against
the state board of equalization where
he abdicated in favor of railroad at
torneys and let them perform the du
ties he was elected to perform.
With Thompson and Mickey in the
thick of the fight, we must not forget
Jefferson H. Broady for attorney gen
eral. The more his record is looked
at the better the people like him. The
following, clipped from the Johnson
County Journal, shows Judge Broady 's
high standing in his old judicial dis
trict: "Beneath his modest and unassum
ing exterior Judge Broady possesses a
brain of perfect clearness, a heart as
true as steel and soul as honest as
sunshine. He is a man of keen per
ception, of solid conviction, of daunt
less courage, of perfect courtesy, of
supreme fidelity, of entire truth and
with the grace of tender kindness and
fellowship."
The above strong commendation of
Judge J. H. Broady, fusion candidate
for attorney general, was published
years ago in the Lincoln Herald, and
is from the pen of J. D. Calhoun, one
of the best men and best writers that
was ever in Nebraska. Mr. Calhoun
knew what he was saying, as he was a
neighbor of Judge Broady in Nemaha
county in the early days. What he
said of the judge is true, every word.
This will be attested by a large num
ber of citizens of this county, regard
less of politics. He has a host of re
publican friends in our county friends
that were won by the judge when he
was serving, on the judicial bench in
this district. These friends well re
member his ability as a lawyer and
his honesty and fairness as a judge,
and the vote on election' day will show
it
