to total at least $2,250,000 and unless
the citizens of this arc: other counties

STERLING GREETED
RY RIG CROWD HERE
A large crowd thronged the court
house lawn Saturday morning to wel-
come Governor Sterling and his
party. Although the hour was early
for a public gathering, many people
from different paits of the county
heard the Governor defend his re-
cord asi the States chief executive
and brand Fergusonisn-. as a power
that worlj; without responsibility.
He charged Fergusonism as a disrup-
ting influence founded upon person-
al greed and prejudice.
He cited a number of instances
where under the present administra-
tion, thousands of dollars had been
I saved in economy program and mea-
! sures which had preserved the states
heso'.irces and protected the people
I from the greed and wholesale con-
| fiscation of the peoples property by
i the combines and money powers of
f the east.
He plead for the confidence of the
people in his desire and ability to
serve the state and its intereste even
better during a second term if elect-
ed than had been possible during his
I'first term.
The Governor spoKe fluently, never
having to pause for words, and his
entire address was well received by
h<s hearers and was heard distinctly
by everyone, due to th? fact that a
loud speaker which carried his mes-
sage to anvone located on the pub-
1 v
lie square.
