An Address.

Judge G. u. Wood, candidate
for governor, has issued the fol-
lowing address:
To the Democratic Voters of
Arkansas:
Is the nomination Of Governor
Davis necessary for the success
Of the Democratic party in Ar
kansas? No one will say 50. On
the contrary, his nomination will
weaken it, Thousands Of good
men, who have been lifelong
Democrats, would feel that they
have been badly treated by their
fellow Democrats if forced to vote
for a man who seems to take de-
light in abusing them or their
friends, whom they know TO be
worthy Of praise rather than
abuse.
In his public speeches he has
criticised severely both the su-
preme court and the legislature;
in his message to the legislature
his charges against the secretary
of state, attorney general, auditor
and commissioner Of agriculture
amounted to this: That they
were either corrupt or grossly
negligent. All Of these officials
were Democrats and were elected
by the people, and it is very
singular thing if the people made
a mistake in every official except
in the one instance of governor,
Is there any great pubic crisis
or moral issue that calls for the
election Of Governor Davis for
the third term? If 50, no one has
pointed it out. His own claim is
that he is running for vindication.
If the rule against third-term
governors is ever to be violated
in Arkansas it ought to be in
favor Of a man who neither needs
Tor asks for vindication. Has he
done any great deed for the pub
lie good which entities him to the
distinction of a third-term gov
ernor? 1t must be added that his
chief distinction is in making
speeches and granting pardons.
The speeches have been an eff
fort to divide the people into
classes and to arouse the preiu.
