and extravagance during the war, and
continued wholesale waste since the
armistice.
'The administration has permitted
these charge? to go unchallenged for
months. They were not idle campaign
the aggregate it established the waste
f ported by facte and figures. The evl-
dence accompanying these charges has
been overwhelming. It is official evi
dence evidence taken from the- gov
ernment records at Washington. In
the ending of the war. It did not
of billions of public money."

f dared lo risk an attempt to detenu
i'.Sl-lf
' The money expended in the south
alone, under war pretexts, much of ii
absolute and wanton waste, exceeds j
the entire cosrt of our civil war "
