GOV. MOSES ALEXANDER SPOKE
TO GOOD CROWD.

Governor Alexander spoke at the
opera house last Thursday night to a
good audience. He opened up with
laudatory remarks on the Wilson adj
ministration, and frequently and elo-
quently referred to the American flag
which decorated the stage, as represen-
tative of the patriotic sentiment and
acts of the national administration.
He rehashed the story of the million
dollar saving he had made to the state
during his administration, and Haunt
ed the $3.50 Coffin check before his
hearers with the declaration that he
had never signed it or authorized it
to be drawn, but that it had been put
through against his best efforts by the
three Republican members of the state
land board. He did not mention that
he had signed the voucher authorizing
the check, and that it was a matter
of record at the state house, but openly
denied it. What are you going to do
with a man who will publicly deny a
record of his own making and go
about over the state and foist upon the
people an untruthful and unsupported
version of the case? Alexander signed
the voucher authorizing the issuance
of the check, and upon that authorize
ton it was drawn, otherwise the act
would be criminal
