Transcript	2. It has been said that my own appointment was political. It has been rumored that I have a mother and that Homer Adkins does not like her. It has even been rumored that I or my family gave $10,000 to Governor Bailey’s campaign. So far as I know it hasn’t even been rumored, incredible as that seems, that I was not qualified to fill or had not filled the position acceptably or will. With regard to the circumstances of my appointment we should recall that the late President John C. Futrall was killed instantly in an automobile accident
