...Four Confederate veterans are still alive: W. W. Williams of Franklin, Texas, 110; William A. Lundy of Laurel Hill, Fla., 104; Thomas E. Riddle of Austin, Texas, 106; and John Salling of Slant...
...government is full of crooks and grafters ... I resigned not as a millionaire but as a poor man." Although he still wore the label of the Liberal Party, his resignation made him a leading candidate to oppose Liberal Quirino on the ticket of the opposition Nacionalista Party.

"Doctor Laurel," he said sneeringly of Laurel's proposition, "always presumes that I will commit fraud. Very unkind of him." Quirino obviously wants to vindicate himself and his administration at the polls. Some of his followers in outlying provinces have been anything but upright, and must, indeed, regard with great fear the prospect of a change in administration after which they would probably be investigated and would possibly be jailed.
