ATTACK FARMERS
 UNION LEADER
Attorney General Kirby Accuses George W. Donaghey of Having Bought Secretary Ben L.
 Griffin.

| LOnOke, Feb. y.-Au alleged attempt on the part of Secretary Ben l.. Griffin ot the Farmers Union to swing that organization into line in support of George w. Dongahey's candidacy for goy- enor, twas the object of an attack by Attorney General w. F. Kirby and J. H. Hinemon, two other candidates for governor, in speeches delivered here today. Mir. Kirby handled the subject without gloves, making the bald charge that Griffin had sold out to Donaghey.
 ''Donaghey has made half a million in the past sixteen years" :" declared MT. Kirby. II do not know how he amassed such a fortune. He entered this race with the idea tbat he could buy the nomination. He has tried to buy the Farmers Union, and he has bought it's general secretary. Ben Griffin, the secretary of the Farmers Union, has declared that Donaghey is the logical cam didate for governor. and that while the union is not in politics, 7S,00 members of the organiz a- tion will cast their votes for him Has the union placed it in the power of one irresponsible person to deliver 7S,000 votes to any oae candidate ?"
 MT. Kirby declared that Mir. Donaghey is trying to control the Farmers Union and poses as a friend of organized labor, but that the labor unions of Little Rock have condemned him as be ing an enemy of organized labor.
 Mir. Hinenon also referred to the position taken by Secretay Griffin.
 1.-The Farmers Uaiou is good thing" he declared, "but 1t |should stick to it's original pur- pose. The organization in Ar kansas had hardly been effected when Ben l.. Griffil announced that 78,000 members of the union would vote for Douaghey. Dur ing my life have seen similar organizations, such as the Grange the Farmers Alliance and others, rise and fall. They have fallen because designing leaders have plunged them into politics.
 Messrs. Kirby and Hinemon were the only candidates for the 2 ubernauorial nomination who were here this afternoon. K. w. McFarlane was expected 10 join the other candidates here, but he was i'll at his home in Green wood.

Rapid Changes Made in the Ministry Which Is to Conduct tho
 Government.
ADMIRAL AMAAAL STILL HEADS CABINET
Martial Law Has Been Declared and Authorities Have Taken Needed Steps to Prevent Recurrence of Dis orders--FuneraI of King Carlos and Grown Psince Next Saturday.

Lisbon, Feb. 5.--Changes in the new Portugese ministry have followed each other in such rapid succession Tues day that 1t has been difficult to keep track of them or know what the final composition of the cabinet was to be. The ministry that was gathered to- gether Monday by Admiral Ferriera Do Amaral was superseded by another early Tuesday morning in which three of the ministers of Monday were re- tained and this cabinet was officially gazetted. A few hours later a third ministry was announced and this last cabinet is declared to be final. These constant changes arise from the diff culty of selecting and arranging g ministry that shall suit the many clashing factional interests and ensure the undivided allegiance of its mem bers to united efforts for improve ment of the disturbed conditions. Ad- , miral Ferreira Do Amaral Is premier
 in the third and presumably the final cabinet.
 The rassist---dissidents voted Tuesday to support the new govern ment on conditions that all political prisoners be freed, that all exiles be permitted to return to Portugal and their political rights be restored and
 that all existing autocratic measures contrary to liberty be repealed. Martial law and the suspension of constitutional guarantees was pro claimed Monday, and the municipal authorities are taking the needed steps to prevent recurrence of disorders. The palace and the public buildings
 are still guarded by troops and the po- l lice arc in strong force on the streets. It has been officially denied here that | the revolutionary movement is spread ing in Oporto or anywhere else in Portugal.

Lisbon, Portugal. Feb. 1.-King Carlos and the Grown Prince were shot to death while seated in the royal carriage at Lisbon by band of men who fired a volley from carbines.
 The royal family was driving in an open carriage when a group of men suddenly sprang toward the carriage, and, leveling carbines, which they had concealed upon them, fired, mortally wounding the King and Crown Prince and slightly wounding the Kings second son, Prince Manuel.
 Queen Amelie, who rose in the carriage and tried to shield the Crown Prince, was unhurt. The three regicides who partici- pated in the deed were themselves instantly killed on the spot where the assassination occurred.
 A reign of terror followed, and for a time a complete over throw of the government was threatened.
 Premier Franco assumed the reins of government temporarily.

lT is probably a very good
thing for William II. Taft that
the meeting OF the Chicago Com
mercial Association. at which he
and Mr.. Bryan are to speak. is
not political one. Mr.. Taft is
undoubtedly a good man and
somewhat better than the average
speaker. but trying. as he is, to
uphold the policies Of Roosevelt
and at the same time striving to
keep i'll touch with the Chicago
platform, he is scarcely in a posi-
ton to successfully refute the
strong, logical arguments of the
Great Commoner. backed as they
would be by his peerless oratory.
MIR. Taft in an encounter of the
kind would resemble a besieged
fortress which is assailable at sew
eral points, all of which are being
strongly attacked while only a
portion of its garrison a:e availa-
BILE for its defense at any point.
But be the speeches political or
otherwise the Democrats need
have no fear of their candidate
comparing unfavorably with his
opponent. The strong magnetic
personality of MIR. Bryan coupled
with the force and eloquence of
his oratory has never failed to
draw his audience to him and we
believe that if it were possible for
all the voters of the United States
to hear the issues of the campaign
discussed by the opposing caudi-
dates that the success of the Dem
ocratic party in November would
be assured.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

"~S'tihStOl, ~. - sept. Ia, 1908.
1t IS a most remarkable thing
that the Democrat campaign book
Just issued. contains no criticism,
or censire whatever of.Mr. Roose-
welt or Mr.. Roosevelt's admins
tration. This is one of the pecu,
llarities of politics. A still more
remarkable fact is that this was
purposely done and at the insti-
CATION of M. Bryan himself.
But when one looks at the logic of
situation, it will readily be seen
that Mr., Bryan could not have
done otherwise. All of the poll
cies that Mr.. Roosevelt has. a.
chIeved popularity in promoting,
were taken bodily from Demo-
cratit platforms and Mr.. Bryan's
speeches. There is not a single
one that is advocated by Mr..
Roosevelt of any importance but
what was taken from Mr.. Bryan's
teachings.
However. the fact has been
clearly established that the Re
publican party is running away
from Mr.. Roosevelt's policies.
This IS shown to some extent by
the nomination Of Mr.. James s
Sherman as the running mate for
Mr.. Taft. Mr.. Sherman is IL
tereSted in dozens OF trusts and
has been collector Of campaign
funds for the Republican party
for many years. This only goes
to show that the Republican par
to stand by the trusts"
and that If they are successful,
the tariff will he adjusted in the
interest OF the trusts instead of in
the interest of, the people. The
treasurer Of the Republican Ma
tlonal Committee has succeed in
evading the law against corpora
ton contributions to campaign
expenses. He has discovered
that while the corporations cannot
to the Republican cam
pa.gn fund. there is nothing to
prevent the Secretary or any Of
the members of the board of d.
rectors Of these great concerns
from contributing. AS there is
absolutely no enthusiasm in the
Republican campaign whatever
this year, the Republicans are
proceeding to squeeze all new
money they can out of corpora
tons. such as the beef trust. the
steel trust, the harvester trust.
the oil trust aid so on. so they
are depending on the power of a
big corporation fund to carry the
election against Mr.. Bryan. But
the people are not likely to be
brought up this time as many were
in the days of Mark Hanna. 1t is
said that the farmers of the coun-
try are sending money orders TO
Mr.. Bryan by the mail bag full
and that every day, he gets from
one to two bags of mail from
farmers, ranging from one to two
dollars piece. This is a mighty
good plan and every Democrat
IN the country should send at least
one dollar to Mr.. Bryan. at Lin
;oln. Nebraska and more # he can.
