DONAGHEYAND THE CAPITOL
Mr. Robinson charges that Gov
ernor Donaghey has violated his
pledge to complete the state house.
The state house question seems
to be worrying a good many of
the governor’s enemies, and
as it will bear looking into let’s see
about it.
The Legislature of 1903, while
Governor Davis was in office, pro
vided for the erection of the new
state house, and appropriated one
million dollars for the construction
of the building. The contract
was let to Caldwell & Drake, and
work commenced under Gov.
Davis’ administration.
When Gov. Davis retired from
office in 1907, this million dollars
had been practically exhausted,
and but little work done. In other
words, with a million dollars in
money to begin with, wrork wras
begun on the state capitol in 1903,
under the Davis administration,
and in January-, 1909, when Gov.
Donaghey went into office, he
found the new state house with
practically nothing done on it ex
cept the foundation. Much of the
foundation had to be torn out be
cause of defective wcrk, a com
mittee from the legislature and

J had to be spent by Gov. Donaghey
in tearing out this defective worm
Gov. Donaghey has spent, all
told, $695,000 on the state house.
But after deducting the $175,000
he had to spend in tearing out the
defective work of Caldwell &
Drake, we find that he has only
spent $520,000 in the actual con
struction of the building.
When Donaghey went into of
fice, he found the state house
hardly started, and yet a million
dollars and nearly six years time
had been spent on it. The con
tractors were not only putting in
DEFECTIVE WORK but were
actually BRIBING MEMBERS OF
THE LEGISLATURE IN AN EF
FORT TO BLEED THE STATE
FOR MORE MONEY.
Donaghey had the contractors
discharged, tore out their defect
ive work, and has erected the
building, from the foundation up,
with several expensive changes
from the original plans, and the
building stands today MORE
| THAN COMPLETED, so far as
the original contract specified. And
j this has been done with an expen
diture of only $520,00U.
Charge up the defective work
to the former administration,
where it rightfully belongs, and
we find that Donaghey has spent
less than half as much in two
years as the preceding administra
tion spent in six years, and has
done more than twice as much
work.
So far as the building itself is
concerned, the state house is fin
ished. The only work that re
mains to be done is the perfecting
of a suitable lighting and heating
plant, installing steel vaults and
other appliances in the treasurer’s
office, completing and flooring the
basement and sub-basement, fur
nishing the offices of the state of
ficials, and terracing and landscap
ing the grounds. None of these
were included in the original con
tract, and so far as that contract is
concerned, the building is more
than finished.
With the completion of the
minor details mentioned above, the
Arkansas state capitol will stand
the most imposing structure on
Southern soil. It will be a good
investment for the state, and is a
building that every patriotic citi

zen of the state should be proud
of.
And Gov. Donaghey has built it
with less than half the amount of
money that was wasted on it by
others in merely getting it start
ed.
These are facts of record which
no reasonable m in can or will deny.
I Then why knock on Donaghey
about the state house? The peo
ple said they wanted him to build
it, and he has built it and saved
i money for the state in doing it.

Senator Davis, Governor Don
aghey and their opponents and a
lot of other candidates who have
been very popular, are now occu
pying back seats, so far as New
ark is concerned. The great and
momentus problem of government
we are solving now is, shall the
great American hog be deprived
of his liberty and be compelled to
spend his days in some foul pen
in a back alley, or shall he be ac
corded the same privilege of other
citizens, with the admonition to go
forth upon the highways and
byways and mutliply and replen
ish the wealth of the land and
help to banish poverty from this
land of the free and home of the
brave. It is a great and momen
tus problem of government, and
no candidate for any office, high
or low, need come to Newark so
liciting votes unless he is. willing
to declare himself upon this ques
tion.

Web Covington and his bunch
of boodlers and grafters are after
Donaghey’s scalp, and are doing
their best to elect Robinson. The
bunch of grafters who were in
sympathy with Caldwell & Drake,
the self-confessed boodlers who
tried to rob the people in the state
house deal, are knocking on Dona
ghey and boosting Robinson.
Judge Kavanaugh, president of
the Little Rock Street Railway and
the Southern Trust Company, two
of the biggest tax-dodging corpor
ations in the state, is fighting the
governor and helping Mr. Robin
son. The gang of Pulaski county
political tricksters who can not
control Donaghey, have declared
war on him, and are whoopin’ ’er
up for Robinson. The whiskey
gang are fighting Donaghey and
are lining up their men for Robin
son. Around Newark there are
probably half a dozen good citi
zens who are for Robinson. We
wonder if they are proud of the
company they are lining up with?
We earnestly believe that Gov.
Donaghey and the measures he is
advocating are far more in the in
terest of the majority—the com
mon people —than has been any
thing in this line for years. And
we believe when the governor and
the issues are understood, the op
position will be very scarce. The
governor is leading in the fight, as
well as in the race, and the princi
pal opponents he he has are big
property owners, boodling politi
cians and the liquor interests. With
such facts to face, who do you
stand with.—Gravett News.
Overproduction means a glutted
market; and a glutted market
means poor prices and a very
small margin of profit. If cotton
growing is to be made to pay, it is
very necessary that the market be
not overloaded. Therefore it be
hooves every farmer to join in the
movement to reduce the cotton
acreage this year. Don’t depend
altogether on the other fellow cut
ting the acreage—do some of it
yourself.
Senator Davis, six years ago
in the heyday of his populartiy,
carried Arkansas by 13,000. A
change of seventy-five votes
to the countv would elect Brun
didge. And it surely looks like it
would be done.—Walnut Ridge
Blade. _________
The most important change
needed in our system of farming
is to change the farm from a buy
ing basis to a selling basis. Instead
of going to town to buy supplies,
go to sell the surplus products of
the farm. Farm and Ranch.
Robinson has been in office 14
years and we have never yet
found a single one of his support
ers who can point out a single
thing he has ever done for the
people. What does Mr. Robinson
stand for, anyway?
State-wide prohibition is a live
issue in Arkansas and the candi
dates for the legislature should
not be permitted to leave the vot
ers in doubt as to how they stand
on this question.
The public schools should be
made more efficient in training the
boys and girls of our homes how
to become good citizens. Are you
doing your part to improve the
schools? _
When you see a bunch of men
standing on the street in close
consultation, or maybe gesticula
ting with vigor, its a safe bet they
are settling the hog question.
If Donaghey is a tax-dodger,
why does he favor a law that
makes tax dodging impossible?
