dinating the wishes and welfare Oh
the tax payers to the political for
tunes OF Governor McLaurin and his
followers, which has stained this ad-
ministration since It's Inauguration is

the Levee Board That such a pol
icy-naking political baubels to be
bestowed as personal favors upon
partisan followers out of positions OF
honor and trust-should be appIie.
TO the Levee Board, peculiarly nom
partisan in its organization, charged
as it is with the collection, control
and disbursement of hundreds of
thousands OF dollars paid as taxes by
the people annually. and with respon>
sibilities. upon the proper discharge
OF WHICH depend the welfare, prosper
ity, and even the physical safety It
self of the people OF the Delta, must
fill the minds of the tax payers OF the
District. not only with resentment
against an Executive who SO prosti-
tutcs his high office: but also with

1t manitests a spirit OF partisanship
which the incumbent of great of
ice should never entertain.
The Governor reply places Mr..
