Of the charge that he had demanded a 15 per cent reduction on purchases made by him of local merchants.

When a second firm presented a bill Mrs. Shallenberger asked if there was to be any reduction and she was told a re duction of 15 per cent would be made for goods bought for the state, but no reduc tion for goods bought for private use. By the firm from which she accepted a reduction Mrs. Shallenberger said she had been told It had been customary to make reduction on goods bought by the gov ernor and the governor has since been in formed that all state officers heretofore had boen given a reduction on their pur chases. Mrs. Shallenberger said she dealt more with the firm that did not give the re duction than the one that had. In the matter of the charge that the gov ernor had charged $00 for a speech de llvered at the Is or folk schools the gov ernor said: , I was paid $60 each for two speeches that I delivered, one at Norfolk and one at Alliance. The engagements were made with a lyceum bureau to which I had en gaged myself to make five speeches. had nothing to do with the making of the contract. I would hate to think anyone thought that the speeches were not worth the $60. Mr. LaFollette, you know,, gets five times that much. However, where no admission la charged I make no charge. Both at Alliance and Norfolk admission was charged. Had the school engaged me would have made no charge, if no ad mission had been exacted." JNCEMEllT!
