The state herald., 1908-10-23

the identical person who is purported
to have made the affidavit published in
the Phillips county Republican, Friday
Oct the l6, 1908. and that he has read
the same and knows the contents there
of, and that said affidavit was made on
the ninth dav of July, 1906, and was
made on information and belief as ther-
in stated, after investigation of the
matters in said affidavit. it was all
Strengthened up, and he received his
Homestead and has been Ii, ing on same
ever since, and is living there now, and
has no cause of complaint, that said af-
tidavit has not been in his possession
since making the same.
The statement made in the Phillips
County Republican in regard to Gov.
Mcdonald is untrue. Affiant never had
any correspondence or NJ pointment
with Gov. Mcdonald, ror with any 9th
er member of the State Land Board.
Further afiiant saith not.

MIR. Anderson sweirs that, after in
vestigaton Of the matters in the ailida-
Wit published. he has no cause of com
plnint." How does that sound beside
the afiidavid about which these mud
singers are making 20 much roise. II
there had been any good foundation in
fact for the charges made against Judge
Iellahd in that affidavit on information
and belief. Mr. Anderson would not be
now making an affidavit TO the effect
that, after investigation. he 'has no
cause Of complaint" II shows very
clearly that Mr.. Anderson was misin-
formed by parties who no doubt wished
10 make trouble and. on the strength Of
that information, made the affidavit on
information and belief.
II, member, these parties did not find
this affidavit In the hands Of MIR Ander-
son, No, he had no further use for IL
for he had no complaint. We ARE In
formed that these parties discovered
copy Of the affidavit that had been pre-
served by some party presumably frtm
no friendly feeling for the parties ~
gainst whom II WAS made and he per.

have. There is absolutely nothing in
their attack upon Judge Holland as i.
shown by nr Anderson's recent afTida.
Wit and as Is shown by the eircnmstanc-
es surrounding the finding and pubica-
tion Of the affidavit, All that nm all,
dayi, made on information and belief
amounts to is that that the maker cf
the affidavit has been told certain sta'e'
monts and believes them ard.
In this instance. after inyos,ig

the affidavit says he has M complaint,
