The fact presented tonight are based upon public records available to anyone, me make this clear before I pro- “I do not accuse Governor Dan iel of unlawful activity, but I do believe these facts raise a serious question of a conflict of interest between his personal affairs and your public affairs. Wilson said he thought the gov ernor’s office would be a full-time job. “The people deserve the gov ernor’s undivided attention—the governor’s full, fighting energy. They did not intend to elect a ‘moonlighter’,” Wilson said.

Wilson called upon Daniel to join with other gubernatorial can didates in making public “a full disclosure of their personal hold ings and of their current income.” “Where did the money come from for these land deals ?
