TONEY OPENS GUBERNATORIAL
CAMPAIGN AT POCAHONTAS
Pocahontas, May 15.—At
!tacking the McRae adminis
! tration for alleged Preach o
faith with the people and de
parting from his prepare!
manuscript in many places a
the enthusiasm of the audi
cnee showed him to be touch
mg uponquestions of vital im
portance to the j>eople, Judgs
P. Toney, of Lake Village
candid:.to lor governor, oppos
I mg Gov. McRae, fired the op
filing gun of he J922 gover
nur’s race at Pocahontas Sat
unlay.
d'he honorary penitentiary
commission, behind which th<
judge declared that "Gov. Mc
Rae was hiding in an effort R
cover his broken faith with
the* people by refusing to bad
up the? courts of the state ii
keeping convicted .men in tin
penitentiary, Judge Toney
brought the audience to theii
feet on many different occa
sions in repeated rounds of en
thusiasm as he attacked th<
ystem of wholesale and seere
paroles and the disregard o
the public in the managemen
of the penitentiary as exempli
Led by the “public-be-dammec
policy."
Other points on whicl
Judge Toney charged Gov. Me
Rae with a breach of faith
with the people included th<
handling of the negro questior
in the Elaine riot cases, ant
the “insultingly pusillanimous’
reward of $25 offered for th<
negro assailant of a Randolpl
county girl on the streets o
1 ittle Rock, the attemptec
vetoing of the llartje amend
ment for the assessment o
personal property, the defea
of the severance tax on oil, tin
demoralization of the marke
tor Arkansas bonds and th<
smothering of law desinged t<
throw further protcctioi
around bank depositors.
Judge Toney’s reference t
the- negro question and his at
tack on the governor’s veto o
the llartje amendment wer
the high spots in his address a
far as the audience was con
cerned, exciting almost a
; much applause- as his firey at
, tacks upon the penitential';
! commission.
; In his attack on the honor
;; ry penitentiary commission
! Judge Toney departed fror
| his prepared manuscript to er
| tor into a detailed discussion o
the number of paroles issue'
and a comparison with th
convicts released by previou
administrations.
To date, he declared tha
more than 500 convicts ha
been turned out of the state
i
penitentiary by parole and the
honorary commission has beer
in control a little more than i
year. This in one year’s busi
is ess, he showed, is nearly
equal to the entire number ol
parole? and other forms of re
lease granted during the
1 ’ r o ugh administration.
“Under the present system,’
Judge Toney declared, “the
criminal against whom yoi
have testified and who yoi
have helped send to the peni
tentiary and to his just punish
ment, may come buck into the
community ready to knife yoi
in the back from ambush be
tore you or the authorities
, I know of his return.”
Judge Toney paid an elo
quent tribute to Mrs. Laura
Conner, woman member ol
, the penitentiary commission
. whose efforts for the improve
. ment of the sanitary and mor
al conditions surrounding the
convicts were overriden by the
, four male members of the
board. He deplored the so
le ailed economy which denied
the criminal “the plain ordin
ary decencies of life” and de
^ dared that he did not believe
that the state of Arkansas
t wanted gold “minted from
blood of poor unfortunates.”
Judge Toney also digressec
„ from his prepared speech tc
t tell of the efforts of certaii
i ministers who attempted to in
i duce the commission to carry
join me law in regard to im
.(hiring of a chaplain. These ef
• 'forts which he said were un
.-uceessful, were scoffed anc
repulsed by the chairman of
the commission, who, he said
told one of the ministers thai
| “it’s work we want out o'
those damned peckerwoodi
and not religion.”
Gov. McRae, Judge Tone\
declared ,has by his continuec
backing of the commission, as
sunwd all responsibility for its
acts, and must answer foi
j. I them at the polls. Gov. Me
Itae’s support of the education
al movement was ridiculed b\
Judge Toney, who declared
that if the governor had beei
really solicitous about th;
schools that he would not havt
yielded to the demands of tht
oil men for the defeat of the
severance tax on oil, a tax
which Judge Toney said
would have netted the school,
already more than a millior
and a half dollars. “This mow
<‘y that has gone from us for
ever into the pockets of the
Rockefellers and Sinclairs and
other millionaires, would have
give us the mean., to run out
i schools without passing ‘he ha!
among the already overbur
dened taxpayers."
Judge Toney ascribed Gov
McRae’s hostility to the per
sonal property tax and to tht
bank guaranty laws to his “life
long training as a banker and
lobbyist for the banking inter
ests of Arkansas.” He said thai
he himself honored the bank
us as an important factor in
tht state’s development, and
was proud of the fact thai
many bankers were support
nig him in his race, but declar
ed that in his opinion the
| same sort ot a guarantee ought
to be given tin depositor as k
required by the bank from the
borrower. “I promise the peo
ple of my state that 1 will give
i them a law extending such
protection without demoral
ization ot business or hurting
legitimate interests."
