verified to his own use funds that should
properly have gone to children and
others in need"

The Governor was careful to point
out, 1T is not enough to say that Davis
has not yet been proven guilty. . = The
Republican party cannot afford to run
candidate who is under suspicion
A week ago, Senator Davis was among
q large number mdlcted by Federal
