.DONACHEY DENIES
 HE HAS A SLATE
Says Statement is Made Without his Sanction and
 Over His Protest.

Little Rock, May 30. Con siderable comment was here this morning at the term slate" as used with regard to the proposed list of convention officials. The statement was made by promi- nent politician that the mention of slate" had become so repug- nant with cut-and-dried list of candidates, recognized as having been arranged with regard to the general wishes of the con- vention and without consulting the body to some extent it would mean utter wreck for the said
 "slate. The speaker declared that he had no objection to any one who had offered or who had suggested. In fact he was friend ly personally and politically with them almost to a man and they would suit him, but if the senti- ment went out broadcast that a convention list of candidates had been slate" and that they were going to be put through the con- vention there would be a legu- lar revolt among the delegates, or else many of the delegates would not attend the conven ion.
 Governor-elect Donaghey was called by long distance and in reply to the query as to wheth- CT or not he had a slate" of candidates declared most en- phatically that he had not.
 "T do not object to anyone of- fering for nomination" he said, but I insist that any statement to the effect that 1 have selected a list of candidates whom l in- tend to push through the con- vention regardless of the wishes of that body is wholly without my authority and furthermore such statement is made over my emphatic protest. In other words, I have no slate" in the common acceptance of the term. l may not even be a candidate before the convention myself. l may request the convention, in my case my name is proposed, to withdraw it and send some one else in my place. No; while I have consulted with some of my friends and may have a personal choice, I do not wish to be under stood as dictating a list of con-
Daily picayune., 1908-05-30

choice or secretary of the con- vention will be Steele Hayes of Russellville, who may be made both temporary and permanent secfetary. The name of Hon. Joe T. Robinson of Lonoke, has been mentioned prominently dur ing the past several days, in con- nection with the permanent chairmanship of the convention, and it is probable that his name will go before the body for the the office. However. there has been no open announcement for either of these position.
 Oscas H. Vim, who was men, toned as having practically de- cided to enter the race for secre- tary of the State Central Con- mittee, today gives out the state ment that he has definitely de- cided on this point and will have his name go before the conven- tion for this office. He declares that the statements to the effect that Bruce Bullion of Conway is to have the influence and endorse ment of the Donaghey elements in the convention is mere news paper talk and that he believes he has strong chances for elect tion as secretary.

flooding of thousands of acres, while in other localities the dan ger to levees is guaged by inches of additional flood water in the stream.
 In some sections the levees which are in danger have up to this time protected thousands and thousands of acres of valua- ble crops and a brake in them means millions of loss.
 PINE BLUFF IS BEING FLOODED
 Pine Bluff, May 20. Word reached here this morning that the levee at English had broken and thousands of acres of plan- tation lands were being flooded.
 Here in Pine Bluff the water has backed up in a dead bayou and the eastern portion of the city is being flooded, but no mat erial loss has been sustained. Many residents have moved their household goods to higher sec- tions of the city and the water has crept into some of the homes in the low sections.
 If a stage of 26 feet is reached there may be considerable prop erty loss here, but on account of the timely warning which gives people time to move their be- longings, it is not believed that it will be heavy.
 Little has been heard from the section of country belew the city today except that the levee at English had given away and that the plantations of that section would likely be inundated.

TODAY WILL END SUSPESE
Flood Will Be More Disastrous Than First Anticipated---Levees Break 4,OOO Acres Under Water
 In Pulaski County.

Little Rock, May 29. Moth ing but stories of added loss come from the river districts and the section of the state which will be the most damaged will not be reached by the crest of the flood before tomorrow and Saturday night.
 The crest of the flood is due here this afternoon and the riv- CT is expected to hover about the 20 foot stage at that time. which is three feet above flood tide.
 The river is just as a wide stream here, but portions of Argenta are overfowed, and the river gets out of it's banks soon after passing the city.
 Millions of dollars will be lost to the state this year through the overflowing of the bottom lands, as it is possible that some of the levees cannot hold against the strain which they will be subjected to before tomorrow night.
 There are a number of weak places in the levees where high waters of this spring have caus- ed cave-ins or breaks, and it is at these places that the most danger is anticipated.
 One of these is just above the state farm, near Cummins, and here about 25O convicts are bat ting with the raging torrents.
 Across the river, John M. Oracle, the largest planter in the state, is working hundreds of laborers day and night to save his thousands of acres of grow ing cotton.
 The same condition exists at the mouth of the river, and there is little encouragement to the plantation owners for success.
 The worst element in the sit- uation is the high waters in the Mississippi, which have backed the waters of the Arkansas up for about 100 miles, making the water higher there than it would be under ordinary circumstances.
 The real news of the damage is expected to start tomorrow, as the banks up the stream are all nearly high enough to keep the water in bounds until it strikes the lowlands.
 CROP DAMAGE INCREASES.
 Reports from up and down the river today are to the effect that the flood water is spreading over a greater section with every fraction of an inch the river rises. The flood has now reach ed a point where the rise is measured and estimated by frac- tions of an inch instead of by feet. In many sections an ad- ditiOnal inch of rise means the

 Governor Pindall this morning admitted that his name would go before the State convention for temporary chairman, and that he would accept the honor.
 II was asked to accept the place of MT. Donaghey," said Governor Pindall, when asked If he had considered the matter of temporary chairmanship "and in difference to his wishes in the matter shall gladly accept the place and honor. MT. Dona- ghey's desire is that I accept the temporary chairmanship, in or der that 1 may, in a breif speech before the convention, give voice to his emphatic desire for party harmony and the elimina- tion of one-man rule in State poli- tics. have now under prepara- tion an address in line with this request.
