Think He is Man to Defeat
Idol of the Hill Billies
•Special to The Journal.
Little Rock, April 10.-— Arkan
ansas politics is the nearest ap
Proach to perpetual motion tha
has yet been discovered. No soon
er is the Democratic state pri
maries, with its sensational con
tests, out of the way, than othei
political interests assume the cen
ter of stage, and between local
state and national politics the pool
voter finds himself most sadly
buffeted.
Gov. Donaghey, who was more
overwhelming defeated by Con
gressman Robinson than the Lon
oke stateman’s friends could have
expected, is taking his defeat phil
osophically. “Those who have tast
ed the sweets of victory must be
prepared for the sting of defeat,"
is the cheerful spirit with which
he resumes actively the affairs of
state. He feels no resentment, is
not sulking in his tent, and declares
that Mr. Robinson will have no
more ardent supporter than Geo.
W. Donaghey.
Had Gov. Donaghey been elect
ed to a third term, it was recog
nized by all that he would have
been a logical candidate for the
Lnited States Senate. His defeat
puts a different aspect upon the sit
uation, and whether Donaghey
may be considered as eliminated
from Arkansas political consider
ation depends upon the future.
Mr. Robinson’s friends, however,
openly assert that he is now in
line for the senatorial toga, and
that should his administration be
all that is expected of it, even Jeff
Davis will be unable to defeat him
for the senatorial nomination.

ANOTHER ELECTION

Arkansas has already had nn.^y
elections .this year, and still there
are more to follow. There have
' been primary elections for every

| governmental division national,
i state, district, county and munici
pal. The municipal elections have
already been held, and we have
yet before us the general biennial
election this fall and we are well
in the midst of the national cam
paign.
There is, however, another elec
tion which must not be overlooked
I and which, in many respects, is ot
| greater importance to the indivklC
i ual elector than any of the othep
! elections. This is the annual school
election, Saturday May IS.

men and measures were defeated.
Some of these defeats were, une.x
pected and very significant. -*
It is generally agreed that the
[ defeat of Gov. Donaghey by such
a decisive majority was a public
expression of disapproval of the
T.-J. bill, although its supporters
refuse to make such a concession.
They contend that there are thou
sands who voted against Donaghey
because of the third term or for
other reason who will support the
j|Ktaue measure. The governor
'TiimsT'lf still advocates it as the
only way to meet the financial
needs of the state, and predicts
that this or a simlar measure must
be adopted to meet the financial
exigencies of the state.
The rehabilitation of the state
treasury is the task»that has been
set for Governor-apparent Robin
son, and that it will be a full-grown
man’s job all agree. The state is
now on a scrip basis, has been for
months, with about $225,000 al
ready outstanding in warrants,
and no money in sight before next
July, when collectors will begin to
turn in the taxes. The $44,000,000
increased assessment will itself
yield about $70,000 more taxes
than last year, and this wall help
some, although only slightly, to
ward a regaining of the state’s
lost financial prestige, which st°
