prosecution of the case. Gov
ernor Alexander at his personal
expense Immediately employed
counsel to contest this lien and
Coffin released the lien and de-
clared he was willing to accept
such fee only as the majority of
the State Depository Board was
willing to pay him. Acting on
this suggestion an agreement
was reached whereby the Deposi-
tory Board decided it would pay
him his regular salary as As
sIstant Attorney General for 3
months, amounting to $4,000,
which it was decided would be a
reasonable compensation for his
services. Coffin thereupOn de-
cided to go back on his former
statement and when the Surety
Company rendered the State its
certified check 10 satisfy the
judgment, the State Depository
Board was served with an in
junction notice issued out of the
district court of this district pro-
hibiting them from accepting
$4,000 of the check which is
the amount to which Coffin has
increased his demand for a fee.
This case was decided against
Coffin by the district court which,
however, directed that the sum
of $4,000 be set aside as a spe-
cial fund in the State Treasury
to be held until the claim could
be passed upon by the State
Board of Examiners and, if de-
sired, by the supreme court and
Legislature.
Then Coffin came in with an
other claim of $4,000 for ser
vices performed at the same
time in foreclosure proceedings
ordered by the State Land Board
to close up some old loans which
had been made out and where
upon neither principal nor in
tcrest had been paid but which
were in default. The claim was
made out by the Attorney Gener-
al and signed by Coffin as the
amount due him for his services
as Assistant Attorney General.
When the bill came up for ac-
ton of the State Land Board,
Coffin demanded the right to
strike out the words Assistant
Attorney General" his purpose
being to lay the foundation for
his claim that he was not assist
ant attorney general during that
time but was employed as special
attorney so he would have better
chance to make good his claim
for $4,000 in the Allen matter.
Governor Alexander was will
ing to allow payment of this
claim for his services as Assist
ant Attorney General, but he was
not willing to allow it and voted
mo" as a claim for fees as spe-
'cial attorney which was wha.
Coffin desired.

Mr.. MiIIiken's Address

When Hon. Frank L. Dutton of Au-
gusta who presided at the afternoon
meeting presented Mr.. MilIiken to the
huge throng that filled the grove of
pines he described the candidate in
tnese words: He Is a plain American
citizen, untitled, a man of the people,
one who will mingle among them and
learn their wants."
The reception accorded Mr.. Milliken
was a wonderful one. Cheers and hand
clapping and the raucous cries of au-
tomobile horns filled the air for a pro-
longed period.
I'VE are entering upon a contest. but
let me say right here that it Is a con-
test we are going to win,' said Mr..
Milliken after the demonstration in
his honor had substded. ALTHOUGH this
is the opening of the campaign it ts
really the close Of the seventh week
for me. I have been IN al! OF the Is
counties Of the State and I have been
in touch with nearly every one. I
think know something about condi-
t1ons. They look extremely well; they
look so well in fact tina. 1t is impera-
not let up for moment"
Mr.. Milliken described the reunion
OF the two wings of the Republican
party and brought forth hearty ap-
plause when he said that there is no
longer any difference cf opinion be-
tween the Republicans and Progress
sives as to the methods to be used in
securing The principles for which beth
stand.
There are certain obligations that
rest upon u.s." said Mr.. Milliken. "rhe
people pay a tribute to the Republican
party in the standards they expect us
to live up to. They expect us to tell the
truth. We shall Go it, with our state
ments backed up by men we'll Informed
upon the subject to be brought before
the people. We must present candi-
dates whose records in public and pri-
vate life can be approved. We believe
we have met this obligation. The peo-
pie also expect us to make a clean,
gentlemenly campaign"
Mr.. Milliken laid particular stress
upon the obligation resting upon him
as a candidate for governor and the
appointive power that was being plae-
ed in his hands. He declared that the
appointive power is trust held by the
governor for the people, Of the whole
state. and that appointments should be
made not because Of political expedi-
ency. but because Of the expediency Of
the men named for Office.
IT I am elected / shall have my
hands united except by the promises
of the Republican platform and those
made in the open to the public" said
Mr.. Milhken. amid the cheers Of the
crowd. I'VE will give a real Business
administration. We shall use every ef-
fort at our command for the Statewide
enforcement Of the law"
The present campaign by the Demo-
Gratis has centered around three points,
Mr. Milliken insisted. These were the
party platform pledged for a constitu-

There are other issues in this cam
paign that the Democrats don't mem
ton and on which they don't expect to
need to. A member Of the Supreme
Court was not reappointed because Of
the political beliefs OF the appointee.
All the appointments of the present ad-
ministration have been made because
Of political expediency rather than be-
cause of the efficiency. Nothing is said
about the enforcement of law and es-
pecially Of the prohibitory law. be-
lieve in it. but there are good honest
men who disagree with me. But there
ought to be no disagreement among
decent men that while this law Is on
the books it should be honestly and
impartially enforced. The Democrats
have said: Let the Republicans look
after the prohibitory law The people
are going to let the Republicans look
after them"
Mr.. Milliken concluded his address by
paying brilliant tribute to the high
ideals for which the Republican party
stands and the necessity Of inculcating
these idesls in the minds of the rising
generation, for the upbuilding of young
American manhood.

HTYWOOD AND Tile MEXI-
CAN VOTE-A CORRECTION.

There was an error in the report in Sat

foot In San Benito TO cure this county of
the evil Of unlawful voting, which. il not
read with due regard to the context. might
be construed AZ representing Colonel Hey
wood "a designing to do just the opposite
of what he actually intends 10 10. The
paragraphs referred to should have read
a. f~ollows:.
1T was stated In n junta in Mexiquito
not long ago, by a peace officer. that Col
onei Haywood had threatened to put a
stick of dynamite under the Mexican vote.
'If IT was meant by this that Colonel
Haywood wanted 10 prevent Mexicans from
voting who had a right 10 vote, the state
ment was false.
IF it was meant that Colonel Haywood
would try 10 prevent Unlawful voting, then
the statement was true, and this pamphlet
showing who can vote, and who cannot
vote i the first stick of dynamite. the sec
ond stick will be the prosecution Of those
who vote unlawfuIly and Of those who try

the election clean and honest to help IL BY

mons 20 they will not vote wrong and get

The Herald has reproduced the fore
going paragraphs fully. 30 that there NAV
DC no doubt whatever a. To the real intent
Of Colonel Haywood and his companions IN
this movement to purify elections in Cam

ORIGIN OF TIE WORD ~GRINGoBs.'

Everyone knows the sighting term
used by a Mexican when he refers 10
n citizen of the United States l. To call
him a "Gringo." but few people know
the orpin of the phrase. When the
Meycan war Of lSl6 broke ont the
popular song Of the day was Green
Grow the Ru>hes. oh" and the Amcri-
can soldiers wen iuto Mexico singing
1t on all occasions. OF course the
Mcxicans did rot understand the
meaning Of the words. but they caught
the sound and dubbed the Americans
"Gringoes.' a word that haS corrupted
INTO the present one. '.Gringo." II i
strange what t%riflcs will survive in
MISREPRESENTATION News.
The foregoing xIalnation has been ac
ccpted more or less widely. but il lack.
confirmation The Spanish dictionary con
tains the word ''gringo." giving a. the Re
