Why, that don't say n word about
trees or plants, and is the only word
about Mr.. Hays on the page.
Now, on the next page didn'tth same
facts exist, and didn't thirty-four men
| receive wheat alone; and on page %
doesn't II appear that wheat alone went
| to the seventeen men named? Why Mir.
Director, it looks ~ il you are try
ing TO deceive some n again. Who
is it-the people? You have been doing
this for some time, but they are getting
their eyes open.
Now please open the book to page IS
and read:
"Jrle,, Zines, DC, shipped TO farmers i"
The district"
Now, don't yon find 4 list OF trees,
vines, &c, shipped to these men, Hays,
Bennett and Brown, that occupies all
the space from page % TO 80, inclusive,
tho total being l,64S, every Il that
was shipped into the state?
Now, let us see If this was a private
purchase.
Please turn to page 81 OF the Bulletins.
Do you find a letter from +. A. Bennett
to John A. Myers? Now read the
quotations ! mark, as the letter is two
pages long-too long Tor publication in
lull:
"Beirg supplied by tho Station with a
large variety OF such fruits as could BIO
hastily selected owing to the l~atenesso OF
the season when the experiment was
determined upon. o . . These have
been planted upon an eligible tract Of
upland in tho foot hills near the city Of
Huntington. The stock supplied by
the Station was received about Christ.
mas. 1888. . ali the hopes Of
those patronizing and forwarding the
experiment arc realized such informa-
ton will amply repay the cost Of the
work and expenditure and confirm the
view entertained by them that such a
concentrated method Of experimentation with
the proposed reports thereof will prove
of much more value to the public than
the distribution Of a like number Of plants IN
small lots when it is impossible to get
reports either Of progress or results"
tSiened. L. A. BENNETT.
Now, Mr.. Director, don't you think
the people will conclude by this time
who is the prodgous liar.
You claim "the Board Of Regents
only meet once, and if necessity arises,
which is rarely the case, it may occas-
ionally meet twice a year. This has
been the case once in about five years"
Now, Mr.. Director, please tell the
good people how thirteen men whom
the law only allows four dollars per
day and actual travelling expenses, and
only meet three or four days, can useln
one year 50, $50 81. You admit 81, 70O9l.
l claim you can prove the whole amount

This only amounts to 1915. Explain

My dear Nj. Director, il YOU think !
cannot prove all Of $3.50 81. demand a
n~on-partisan examination by a commit
lee oil equal numbers OF each party, and
If / do not prove enough to start one or
two heads OF the departments travelling
You can then call me a prodigous liar.
Now, Mr.. Director, l want to testify
q little myself and tell the people of
West Virginia that / and my party are
not enemies Of the West Virginia Uni
yersity. We established il. Its pur-
poses are good and it should be sus-
tanned, and after a wedding process
its utility could be enlarged and its ex-
penses made much smaller.
AS you will note, | did not say one
word about wheat, grass, ETC., sent to
regents for distribution, for in most
cases l am certain it went to proper
persons. My intention was to call at
tention to the wrong and not where
there was even a chow Of doing what
was right.
Respectfully yours,
ALEX. r. CAMPBELL.
