The log cabin Democrat., 1910-02-22

ton. want to ask, MT. Kavanaugh, who is paying the expenses of this regiment with you today?
 "They are paying their own"
 Do they go everywhere over the state? Just to boost for you? Where do they expect to get their money back from?"
 "They do not expect any back"
 "They do this for fun, then-these Pulaski county politicians?" Here B. L. Roberts, sheriff of Pu- Iaski county, got in a word II came because he is a friend of mine. I voted for you last time. You have no right to attack me that way"
 "Then why do you give your sup port against me and make all appoint ments with MT. Kavanaugh?"
 More cheers for DonagHey rang through the hall.
 My opponent says he believes pro- hibition to be unDcmocratie and un- American, yet would sign statewide bill if the legislature passes one. If say a thing is unAmerican and un- Democratic, l won't sign it.
 If prohibition is not Democratic it is nothing. If it is not Democratic to vote on a thing, what is it?'
 Governor Donaghey then gave his we'll defined record on prohibition.
 Ask him what his past associations have been,' said Governor onaghey, referring to Kavanaugh; task him how he has voted. Ask him what Lit tie Rock believes in-on what ticket he was elected"
 Passing to Caldwell & Drake, Gov ernor Donaghey said:

 "Kavanaugh may not know he is working in the interest of Caldwell & Drake, but he is.'
