HUGHES, of New York, For Vice-President, In an attempt to defend some of I the em ar Kable assertions made by Chairman Harris of me Democratic state committee in his attack on the administration of Charles E. Hughes as Governor, me newspaper of former Governor Glynn argues that the balance in me state treasury nine months after Governor Hughes took office was the balance me treasury when he assumed office. The argument pat forth by Chairman Harris" defender is that me of 1S06 made me appropriation for me fiscal jear waich began October and ended September 30, 1507, and, consequently these appropriations and the expenditures from them were part and parcel of the business of the preceding administration. This contention appears so reasonable that it may easily befuddle the average reader who is not familiar with state business. It is a snischievo-s half truth.

If all the ap-; propriations for the support of the government were contained in the annual appropriation bill, mis contention would be correct because the appropriations in me annua; appro- priation bill rcace by the Legislature i of a given year co net become a-, aii-1 able tmtll October 1 mat year and continue September 00 oi the following year. But it is not trtre that ail of the appropriations are contained in the ann-aa appropriation bin therefore any cr--upon the assumption mat they are. are worthless. In. addition to the annual appropriation hill mere were, prior to the adoption of me present budget system, the annual supply bill and numerous special bills, me appropriations contained in which become available immediately upon the signing of the hills and which were in large part expended cr contracted to be expended before the time when items in the appropriation hill can be Sri Stecn-l CioJt ris defender gives the last year of Hughes' administration credit for only $3,253,537 or available cash where as the comptroller's re- port for 1916 (p.
