- between the Democratic candidate tC
Governor and one of the leaders of Il
Third party movement. The constit,
ton of the Farmers alliance allows II
president OF that body $500 year an
travelling expenses. While Elias Car
was president he drew out $3.50 tha
was ALL only one-half of his salary. Mo-
let's see what Marion Butler did viii
president of the Alliance. He not onl
drew the $500 salary allowed him, bit
$575 as travelling expenses, making
total of $S75. Not only that, but
borrowed $475 from the executive con
e mittee. Was this all No; for he ha
the check to get up in the last State co
vention of the Farmers alliance ar
ask the body to cancel that debt-and
4 did it. The full amount was 81 $50, s
YOU see that there was little dlitcren
Of 81 $50 between Carr and Butler.
