This 1b not true. Considerable ! mention was made of the fact that ong.oi the items was for glossy pho tographs. This bill for expense Is a legitimate one. All governors are constantly being requested for copies 01 pictures for use by news bburcaus, nowspapors, magazines, etc,, and all the governors have Incurred this Item of expense in connection with the office. These photographs were taken In January, contrary to tho published statements that they were taken Just bciore the election. An investigation of the records of past years will show that Governor Pat tersons expense In this connection during 1029 was greater than mine, the bill for lUU being $60.76. For the same purpose in 1928 $30 worth of photographs was used and in 1027 $24.24. . . . The records disclose that each year similar sums have been used for such purposes, with glossy prints a part of the orders. The glossy prints are the only ones that car. be used by news bureaus. These bills have always in the past oeen al lowed by tne ooard or control as a matter of state business and I am unublo to understand the hue and cry at this time."
