to fool the members Of the State
Press Association into adopting q
resolution condemning the State ad-
ministration for letting the State
printing to a person who was incom-
petent. Mr.. McBeath drew from
Carter the cause of his resolution
when he made him admit that the
editor Of this journal was the man
to whom he referred. This resoln-
ton was truly Carteresque in spirit
and in letter. The animus was bad
and the letter was wrong, because
there was no change In the State
printing contract as declared in the
Carter resolution, but merely a
change In the management of the
company which had the State print-
Ing.
Carter did not forget this Interior

occurred he did not fail to lie abont
him.

A few days before leaving home

''Tom McBeath, formerly a school

to you to say that the article which

to yourself, as your name had not

application that was turned down
was that of another person, not
resident of the state.
