PROOF OF THE z oNSPlRACY.

Gov Davis and cX-G0E. Clarke have,
for some time past, been accused OF
being at the head of a conspiracy to
defeat beth Jones and EeiGy for the
United States senate in order to make
room in that body for Davis and
Clarke. Davis has professed love
for Senator Berry in his speeches in
the present campaign, but it is a false
profession Davis has no kind feel
ings for Berry whatever, and his pro-
fessions of friendship have been for
no other purpose than to keep Berrys
friends from antagonizng Clarke and
Davis. His desperation to defeat Jones
is due to the fact that he thinks to
turn Jones down with Clarke would
make it only the easier for Davis to
defeat Berry in the next senatorial
contest. Every person who has taken
even casual observation of Arkan-
S<1S poilNlNo uCtS DCCll dOlC W SCC la
Wis motive in this matter, and if
there have ever been any who doubt
ed the following from Mr. B. F. Fly
of Fort Smith, taken from a letter
addressed by Mr. Fly to Gov Davis,
is ample proof to convince the most
skeptical:
This compact was entered into by
you and ex-Gov. Clarke, or else your
private secretary, Mr.. Charles Jacob
son, misrepresented the facts to ms
when YOU and he were here at my
personal invitation during the street
fair and carnival, of which | was the
general manager. Just prior to com
ing here you had declared yourself
for eX Gov. Clarke.
What does the governor mean?" |
asked Private Secretary Jacobson.
It's Just this way, he replied
The old man, (meaning you has
made up his mind that this senatorial
combination of Jones and Berry
must be broken up. He figures that
the only way it can he done is for him
to help Clarke beat Jones and then
Clarke will help him heat Berry. That
is all there is to it. The trade has
been made and no power can change
him"
That's what Your private secretary
said to ne. II it is not true YOU and
Charles can fight it out among your
selves.
