when Gov. Graham states that the letter wes not
addressed to him as an individual. but contained

editor feels The awkwardncss of his position, and
thinks that the Governor was " upiair" in pac-

cannot publish bis letter to Gov. Graham with
out exposing himself; and to withhold il now
that il is placed a, his disposal, leaves room foI

We do not wonder that the STANDARD feels uneasy
under It.
