ROGERS OAYIS LITTLE
A Few Thoughts on the Present
“Beautiful” Political Sit
uation in Arkansas.
To The Newark Journal:
From whatever viewpoint the
present political compaign in our
state is regarded, objectional fea
tures are seen. Every intelligent
voter, however, ought to be able
to solve the problem for himself.
Our state has become a paradise
of office hunters, and the methods
seem somewhat "out of whack,1
for instead of their directing their
shafts to the particular offices they
are after, some of the hunters
point them against others, who are
after different positions of trust.
Is this right' Every Democratic
voter must answer for himself.
For my part, while I admit it
could not ordinarily be justified,
especially in view of the scuni
lious and slanderous extent to
which it is carried, 1 think it per
fectly defensible, so fur as Gov
ernor Davis a candidate for the
United States Senate, his associ
ates and assistants are concerned.
Wh_\' Among the points of con
troversey between him and Attor
ney Genenal Rogers, a candidate
for governor, an office for which
Davis openly declares him to be
morally unfit, is the recent tax
suits between the railroads and
the state. This is the main con
tention between them, though
there are others, to which I will
allude, incidently. May I then,
in order to show that Governor
Davis is right, and thus vindicate
him, make a short exposition of
just a few ol these matters*
Under two seperate assignments
of taxes, made under oath by the
Board of Railroad Assessors, com
posed of Governor Davis, Auditor
Monroe and Secretary of State
Crockett, the railroad companies
owed the state $500,000 in round
numbers. To enjoin the collec
tion of these taxes, they tiled suits,
all based on exactly the same
grounds, and Senator Clark was,
at the instance of his friend Gav
ernor Davis, employed to assist
the Attorney General in defend
ing the suits. After some time, a
! compromise was proposed (by
whom it is not known), whereby
the railroads were to pay just a
little over half of the sum du<, and
to pay the $enator $30,000 as a
fee, and while both Davis and
■...* !■■■■■.■■ 1— ■———
Clark favored this compromise,
and brought to bear the persuasive
I influence of their high otlieial po
sitions in favor of its hasty consu
mation, Rogers from his poor lit- ,
tie position as attorney general,
had the audacity to oppose it.
Is it, not plain that he was wrong
in this? How could Governor
Davis and Clarke have gotten the
$v>0,000 which they so much need
ed, if the compromise nad not
been made!1 What right had Ro -j
gers to complain, even though
they took the whole business and
left the state nothing? The state
had plenty of money in the treasu
ry and did not need any more.
Still Rogers kicked, and thereby
disqualified himself for governor.
What did the people elect Clarke
and Davis for, if not to take care
of themselves and of each .other?
Governor Davis and Senator
Clarke should have the right to!
tell the people whom to elect.
They will then be able, through
the machinery of the party organi
zation, which will continue under
their absolute control, not only to
perpetuate themselves in the high
, offices of their choice, indefinitely,
but to dictate who shall hold all
the state offices from governor on
down. This would relieve the
people from the annoyance of this
modern method of ceaseless cam
paigning, exempt them from tin1
burden of holding primaries, and
do away with the necessity for so
i much unseemingly boasting and I
unconscionable lying. It is there
fore. a consumation devoutly to;
be wished. The voters would then
be at no trouble or uncertainty at,
all.
Apprehending that Rogers would
undertake to mal^e political capi
tal by assailing the compromise,
Davis, who thoroughly under
I stood the demands of the times, j
determined to anticipate him. In
his first formed speech as a candi
date for the United States senate,
he declared that it was “the best
compromise ever made,” arraigned
Rogers for opposing it, and chal
lenged to combat. Roges seeming
slow about accepting the chal
lenge, and unwilling to mix up his
own race with the race for the
senate, Davis not only continued
ro arraign him about opposing
“the best compromise ever made,”
but adroitly ferreted out the fact
that he had borrowed #4S<;.1(), had
hundreds of thousands of copies of
the note given for it printed, cir
; eulated them all over the state, and
in his speeches urged this fact as
; an additional reason why Rogers
| was unfit to be governor. Thus
| forced into controversy, Rogers
was reduced to the wretched jneces
sity of defendining himself by de
nyin that the compromise was, in
fact “the best compromise ever
made,” and urging his poverty as
an excuse for borrowing the mon
ey. He even had the hardihood
to insist that a compromise that
| released the railroad from half of!
what they justly owed, was not
only not a good one, but was inde
fensible, and that being poor and j
having to borrow money, did not, i
from a moral point ol view, unfit
;a man for govtrnor. But in all of
, this, is it plain that he was
wrong? He was attorney general
when he l>orrowed the money.
! Then is it not well known that a
state officer, however poor, who
has not ingenuity enough to get
all the money he needs without
borrowing it, is not resourseful
enough for governor?
And as to the compromise, who
can say it was not a good one?
Even if it was not a good one for
the state, it was at least gocxl for
Davis and Clarke hence undeni
ably good.
Rogers is even so unreasonable
as to intimate that the &*(),<KX) fee
I was exhorbitant, and should have
been paid in the state treasury in
stead of to Clarke, leaving the
state to pay Clarke what was right.
Hut what is there in all ol this?
Can anything paid a senator be
exhorbitant? What difference
does it make whether two honest
diligent laborers could earn that
much in a lifetime or not, or
whether it was as much as the
governor of the state would make
in ten years? It is unfair to meas
ure the services of so eminent and
august a personage as a United
States senator by such a low stand
ard. Such a being should not bo
mentioned in the same breath with
a common laborer. And as to
what the governor makes, Rogers
is altogether off. In these modern
days of thought, honesty and re
sources, that olliee has many
fruitful perquisies, pertaining to
pardons, vouchers for personal
expenses, certain kinds of traffic,
etc., in which private secretary
Jacobson appears pre-eminently
useful.
Rogers seems to be in a bad
way always to have had a hard
time. Horn in poverty, he dad to
work on the farm from the time he
could reach up to the plow handle,
until he attained manhood to sup
port his poor mother and her
younger children.
lie was engaged at this while
those who so justly assail him and
say he is moally unfit to be trust
ed, were attending school at the
expense of their parents, and wal
lowing in luxury. Not having
known any of tb*; hardships or
wants of life, they know that
$:',0,000 for a few hours work is
not too much for them, and that
a man like Rogers, who is so poor
as to have to borrow money, is
morally untit to be trusted. Hut
Rogers, who was born in poverty,
and who lias so long lived and
toiled under it, knows nothing of
; what it takes to constitute true
1 wor t’ll". VV h'.V sdiewW 'TM+- fb* • - -
pire to be governar.
Davis and Clarke want Little for
Governor. Everything they dc,
they do it in his interest. All this
lierature, the Lubbock county and
Van Huren business and every
thing else Davis can work up, is
sent out from headquarters, and
largely at the state expense.
What will come next, we know
not. Hut this we do know. Davis,
| Clarke, rnd the entire political
j ring want, us to vote for Little.
Then let us do it! Ah, gentlemen,
voters of Arkansas, stand by
Davis. Vote as he tells you. 1*
