tune Ill apologizing for his inability
 10 make q speech and then proceeding
 to make rattIing good one. Not good one from the spread eagle" style of oratory, but an exceedingly good one from sound, hard headed common-sense talk. without any at
 tempt at putting on the frizzes and
 furbetows so often attempted by too
 many political transformers. He gave
 a story of his many sorry attempts
 and final failure at trying 10 prepare Iand perfect for delivery a speech
 along the Boy Orator line, and how
 he eventually had 10 come back to the
 original Dona2hey style of just talk
 ing to his audience
 He summarized the situation of the campaign by demonstrating that the race Was between him and Kirby, We believe, to the entire satisfaction of his hearers, Insisting that under these
 conditions that vote for Hinamon
 will be half d vote each for Kirby
 and himself and admonished those
 who desired to break up the Davis i machine to consider this point care
 fully. He insisted that Mr. HinemoD
 woeld not likely carry a single ccun- tz in the State, and cited as an in stance Drew county. where Mr Hine- mon lived for number of years and was loved and admired, but where he would nU' receive more than - pog cent of the vote, because the peo- ] ple Were bound to center their vote i on Donaghey to make sure of smash ing the state political machine which has been salling them since the rise 1 Of D3yisism He cited in corrobora- tion of this the fact that Senat9s Davis has recently been declaring in his speeches that Hinemon is stronger in the race than Donaghey. which he would not do if he believed His to be true.
 He emphasized to his friends the danger of underestimating Senator Davis influence in the State, and frankly admitted that it was danger ous and that they should be up and doing to prevent as few votes as pos sible being drawn to Iinemon. the 1 weakest candidate of the three. He made the point that Kirby is drawing d salary Of $1,DO0 and Sen ator Davis total of s10.0G0 per an mum. including clerk hire and sun dries. making a combined salary oi $17,0 that these two men arc drawing from the taxpayers Whi.H they are rawhiding the state, tellin2 1 the people what to do evidently as sun, ng the people of Arkansas have net good sense enough left to select a g,yernor without the assistance of
 couple of appointed, high-sala-

 Mi Donaghey called attention to the fact that Kirby was out makin@ a campaign speech one day a couple of weeks ago when an important rali- road case came up before the Supreme Court and the state lost the case be cause neither Mr Kirby nor any oi his representatives were there to pro 1 tect the states rights in the case. This was the demurrage case under 1 the law known as the Barker act and so the matter still stands, that the Shipper may be mulcted Tor de- murrage on the one hand while the farmers fruit and grain may be side tracked for days and days on the other hand with no responsibility on the part of the railroad on the othe.' hand.
 He charged that it comes with ill grace for Kirby to make an issue of the capitol building now, since he let million and quarter of that graft pass by him before the question was raised by Mr. Donaghey, He said that if Kirby will show where he (Kirby) ever said a word about the graft until it was all over, that Don aghey would quit the race and SC home
 He refuted the labor charges
 against him in toto and charged 1 that the circular of Carpenters unol
 No. 69O was forgery and declared that every union man i'll hls owl town was for him for Governor, an that all of the thousands he had em
