you who he is for. In 1891 |
drafted an antitrust bill and
gave it to Dave King to intro
duce. The bill could not pass
the senate. The same bill with
an amendment including the
American Cotton Co. was intro
duced and passed the house. The
senate would take no action.
Senator Jones came to Little
Rock and appeared before the
legislature. He pumped NOR

swore I'd tell it. 1t is the duty
of the governor to warn the peo-
pie of danger. You will yet call
for the rocks and hills to fall up
on you to save you from Senator
Jones and his trust, What can
we do fighting trusts and the old
he trust in Washington a United
States senator?
(Here Gov. Davis reviewed the
bankruptcy charge against Sem
ator Jones and also attacked the
Senator's war record for several
minutes. He was frequently in
terrupted by the audience with
cries of "Hurrah for Jones'"
"Jones is all right" "Answer
Rector" etc.,
The governor said he knew
nothing Of Col. Rector's difficulty
with Prof. Cook Of Hot Springs,
but that Cook said Rector said
his children were given no more
attention than the children of
wood d-haulers. He said he had
had nothing to do with clrculat'
ing Cooks letter.
The speaker declared his action
toward the Fort Smith editor was
a mistake, that he was mad, but
that he had much provocation.
The speaker declared the
charge that he had bought ar
ticles for his office with the states
money was true, but it was too
small a thing to talk about.
Gov. Davis closed with an ap-
peal to the people of Sharp co IN

In regard to the Cook affair Col

that he had personal difficulty

who has recently undergone a trial for
criminal assault upon aslittle ten-year-old

four years in the penitentiary, was in
Jail awaitig the arrival of officers to con-
