ing used at the Hospital lor ex
perimental purposes and were
being whittled upon, under the
pretext of holding autopsies.
You will find in a little Bulle
tin published by the Medical
Department of he Unversity,
on page 1 1. the following:
“ARK A NS AS 11 (>SP IT ALFOR
NFRVOUS AND MEN
TAL DISEASES”
“'Phis Hospital hasmorethan
1900 patients that are avail
able for teaching purposes.The
institution maintains a two
hundred bed hospital for those
of its inmates that are acuei.v
ill. One Nervous and Mental
Clynic and three Medical bed
side Clynies are held weekly
throughout the year for the
Senior class. An adequate
equipped necropsy room is
maintained in which autopsies
are held.”
When 1 saw this and learn
ed that these autopsies were
being held 1 at once wrote the
Board of Control a letter advis
ing them of my information
and suggested that, if this be
true, they should take immedi
ate steps toward removing the
present Superinendent. When
1 wrote this letter 1 brought
upon my h( ad the condemna
tion of a little coterie of doc
tors in Pulaski County for the
benefit of this so-called Super
intendent and a night letter
was sent out to the medical
societies of the state asking
them to adopt certain resolu
tions condemning me for my
action and in seven or eight
counties of the State they su.
needed in getting these resolu
tions passed by possibly two or
three doctors who would meet
and agree upon them, which
did not represent the Medina:
Society of the .County. Are
there any doctors present? If
so, permit me to say that I
have the greatest respect and
admiration for your profession,
but it is like all othes in some
respects—eertan members ab
use the profession, and do you
gentlemen know the so-called
acting Superintendent of the
Hospital is not a member of ev
en the medical society of Pul
aski County? It is true he man
aged, for the purpose of get
ting this so-called meeting, to
get his name properly submit
ted for reinstatement he was
not elected to membership. I
wish to say further that a ma
jority of the members of the
Pulaski Medical Society are
not in sympathy with this
“would-be” superintendent
and do not endorse his course.
It is only a few. After he sign
ed a statement which repudiat
ed what he had asked them to
do, they even became indignant
and resented his course. I want
to say to you people right here
that the majority of the people
in the City of Little Rock are
good people, but on the other
hand. 1 trust that the God of
I'niverse will in some way pro
vide for the other class. When
I was elected Governor and
sometime thereafter I went out
over the state and plead with
the people for a co-operative
disposition on the part of all. I
urged that many good people
in the capitol city were being
discriminated against by the
people throughout the state
because of a prejudice they
had inculcated in their minds
and that this condition should
not exist. In some instances I
made a great mistake. There
are many business firms in Lit
tle Rock for which I have the
highest regard and rejoice in !
their prosperity but there are
other people who would de
stroy the Throne upon which
God Almighty sits if theycould
not have their way.
I want to say to you my
friends that it becomes neces
sary at times to change those
occupying high positions, to
change officers, even judges of
courts sometimes, and I think
the time is drawing near when
we will have some changes—at
least, I am going to advocate
that we do, and when the time
does come 1 am going to tell
the people about it. There are
many things that the plain peo
ple of this state are in the dark
on. I think 1 win write an ar
ticle in the near future in which
1 intend to give a history of
certain conditions and the way
certain interests work. I came
to Little Rock comparatively a
stranger. I tried to make you
an honest officer and because
1 would not yield to certain in
fluences I have been hounded
and hammered, with all man
ner of criticism and villifica
tion, but this has not deterred
me from the straight and nar
row path of duty, notwith
standing the fact that when I
go out of the Governor's office
1 will be a much poorer man
than when 1 came in. Some of
the things I have done to call
upon my head the wrath and
condemnation of this bunch
was in the passage of the state
wide prohibition law, the veto
ing of the famous Hot Springs
race horse gambling bill,which
meant the destruction of many
and many young men and wo
men, and in vetoing the ap
propriations made by the last
legislature.
I have been criticised severe
ly on account of the granting
of pardons. I have granted
pardons and will continue to
do so as long as I am Gover
nor. 1 can say to you truthfully
with nearly double the pen
population to contend with, 1
have granted fewer pardons
than any of my predecessors
for twenty years back. This is
not idle talk but the records in
the Secretary of State’s office,
where every pardon granted is
recorded, will bear me out in
this statement.
There is an old thing in Lit
tle Rock, which is neither of
the masculine gender or the
feminine gender nor of the
neuter gender, but it is of the
oldest, commonest of the com
mon gender, known as the Ar
kansas Gazette. It has been as
unfair in the news items with
reference to pardons as any
thing could be, always fixing it
in a way that would leave the
people under the wrong im
pression or in doubt, but when
1 adopted the policy of having
applications published in the
Arkansas Democrat, it fell ov
er on its back and just bawled
and bawled—but what did it
amount to? It is true I have
pardoned quite a number of
people out of the penitentiary
and I say to you candidly and
sincerely that when I can see
my way clear where merit and
justice justifies it, the greatest
pleasure I get out of the Gov
ernor’s office is in granting
some poor fellow a pardon,
sending him back to his home,
his destitute family and giving
him new opportunities in life;
and let me make this statement
to you, that of those whom I
have pardoned, only one has
been returned to the peniten
tmry lor a subsequent offense.
It that be true, eliminating the
human side, 1 have done the
state a great service in reliev
ing it of the burdens of caring
for these men, to say nothing
ot the fact that I have melted
the hearts of mothers, wives,
brothers and sisters and poor
poor innocent babes. When I
go out of the Governor’s office
this pleasure will not cease, for
as I go out over the state and
come in contact with some
dear old mother whose boy has
been pardoned or some good
wife whose husband has been
pardoned, and many men who
will come to me and pour out
their blessings for having giv
en them another chance. I will
continue to rejoice in the fact
that I have done something for
poor, forsaken humanity. I
have a letter here written to
me by a good mother asking
lor the pardon of her boy.
(The governor here read a
very touching letter from Mrs.
I ennie Lewis of Booneville,
asking for the pardon of her
boy.)
1 say to you, my friends,that
the pleasure this letter gave
me overshadowed the criticisms
of all the fanatics in the state,
and I want to say to you fur
ther that when I read the let
ter of this broken-hearted
mother I sent her boy home and
would do it again if I had it to
do over.
These criticisms come to.
the purpose of showing that
the granting of pardons breed
lawlesness. Take the reports
made by the various grand
juries of the state and see if
you do not find that conditions
are materially better. Take the
report filed a short while ago
in the County of Pulaski as an
example. You talk about grant
ing pardons. I say to you that
I have no confidence or faith
in the men whose heart cannot
be touched by the appeals of
old fathers and mothers and
by good wives and the tears of
innocent children as they
trickle down their cheeks, and
I had a thousand times rather
be called “The pardoning gov
ernor of Arkansas” than to
have it said of me that I turn
ed a deaf ear to those in dis
tress and rags, tears and in
hunger. I will be your Gover
nor, if I live only a few months
longer, but so help me God; as
long as I occupy that position
I am going to answer to my
conscience alone, and when I
think a man justifies executive
clemency, he is going to get it.
I have thought in years gone
bv, when I listened to the piti
ful stories of those who enter
ed the Governor’s office to
plead for mercy that the pic
ture was overdrawn for some
personal aggrandizement but
1 have long since come to the
conclusion that the story has
never been half told, and
those who have the actual ex
perience will only know the
true story.
I have, my friends, endeav
ored to redeem as best I could
every campaign pledge made
to the people of the State of
Arkansas I have tried to give
you an economical, conserva
tive administration. As to how
well I have done this, those
who write history in the future
will realize the effects of my
administration, the fruits of
which will only be realized
about the time 1 go out of of
fice.
One other thing I wish to
call your attention to and that
is the upproat hmg county
state and national elections.
I he present national adminis
tration has been the greatest
in my opinion of any in the his
tory of this great republic.
President Wilson has had many
serious problems to combat.
Many, many times might oth
ers, had they occupied the
position he does, involved this
country in some of the conflicts
that are going on among the
nations of the world today,but
instead he has been able
through his wise and conser
vative policies to maintain a
neutral attitude, and today this
nation is at peace with all of
the other nations of the world,
while the clouds of war gather
over nearly all of the civilized
nations of the earth, the dov*
of peace hovers over the Amer
ican continent and the Amer
ican Eagle soaring in the air is
crying to the other nations of
the world in the language of
Him who spake as never man
spake “Peace on earth and
good will toward all mankind.”
My friends, let us make this
a great Democratic year in
county, state, and nation.As an
endorsement of the present
democratic administration and
with anticipations of the fu
ture, let us realize our fondest
dreams by rolling up in every
county in the state, and in the
State itself, the greatest Dem
ocratic majority we have ever
had. This will be an endorse
ment and tribute to the present
national administration which
has achieved so much for our
people.
I do not know what my fu
ture aspirations will la* but one
thing I will say,two years from
now, there will be a United
States Senator to elect, and I
trust you will not make up
your minds too soon.
