Democratic sleuths accuse county treasurer of loaning funds for interest
The piece notes long running claims that a county treasurer lends county money and pockets the interest. It recalls a prior Sun disclosure during a Democrat’s tenure. It also mentions a councilman who confessed to selling his vote for a large sum, then being swindled. Editor Dunn spoke on Jacob Piatt Dunn’s congress candidacy. Governor Durbin’s Pole trip and Fairbanks’ presidential prospects are lightly noted.
