horse" Pleas Greenlee, McNutt pa
tronage secretary. told the Old Hick-
DRY Club meeting at 43 West Yer

This sally brought cheers and ap-,
plause from his hearers who re-
called that Governor Jackson had
explained $4,000 check he received
from D. G. Stephenson as payment
for very fine saddle horse"
They also recalled that Governor
Jackson pleaded the statute of limi-
tations to avoid being tried on an
attempted bribery charge and that

Khan dragon and now life-term
murderer, put Jackson into power.

laws of the Dillinger type to break
out of jail, but it is unusual for
Governors to break into prison"

the first year in Office, Mr.. Greenlee
expressed sorrow that there were
but 5000 state jobs for him to dish

dent Wilson died of broken
heart"
