ability to round up "one-iegged mig
gers"-this the choice expression Of
Colonel Joe Chiffon.
His administration was known to be
one OF the most extravagant and cor
rupt in the history Of the state. and to
divert the attention Of the people at
this time from a recital OF the rlisman-
agement OF the government while he
was in power. he made a mallciously
untruthful attack on Governor AtSin-
sons administration, which was wholly
upwarranted In n recent editorial
the Charleston Mafi-Tribune refers to
this feature as follows.

had. Well. this is pretty tough on the
Democrats. who. somehow, always
managed to get away with a lot OF
money and run up against deficit with
persistent regularity. II never oc-
CURED to the ex-governor that the rea-
son that the Republicans could expend
more money upon the state institutions
without any increase OF taxation was
that the Republicans must have ae-
