THE BULLETIN
Volume 28,
DIVERSION
The Madison Madisonian di
rects attention to the fact that
“the people defeated George
Carswell for governor on a plat
form of diversion of the high
way funds and now they are go
ing to re elect Governor Tal
madge on the same platform. ”
YeJ, and diversion >vas just as
important and necessary during
the Carswell campaign as it is
today. The fact that Carswell
championed it carried him this
paper’s support because we be
lieved that the state should stop
riding high and handsome long
enough to pay its honest debts.
Thus time and public senti
ment again vindicate the posi
tion taken by this paper, as they
have so frequently and almost
unfailingly done in the past. —
Walton Tribune.
The Herald was also among
those who shared the views of
George Carswell and proudly
accorded him liberal support in
his race for governor, and still
believe if he had been elected
and his policies adopted by the
legislature the state would today
be in a much better financial
condition,—Butler Herald.
