 A STATEMENT Raps the Little Rock Ring and Says Gabe Bloch is Fixing Whiskey Men

Little Rock, Ark Feb. Id A. MA The following signel statement will be issued this morning to the public by C. C. Kavanau9h:
 The Southwest American of recent dates, over the name of their star correspondent, a Mr. Parker. who is Writing his supposedly truthful and unbiased staff correspondence in the governors office using the state s typewriter and no doubt ill the em- ploy of the governor, has attempted to discredit and beIittle my candi- dacN by connecting me with what he terms as the Little Rock Ring Nihe Grafter, Ananias Club and
 The Caldwell and Drake Gang, which shows to what extreme ends users of slush funds sek to preiu- dice the minds of the readers of that yellow paper and thereby obscure with mud-slinging tactics Donaghey's $ record from the unbiased and truth seeking public
 "The Little Rock Ring" of whom he speaks, l suppose, are Gabe Bloch and Joe Lyons, the whiskey bosses of Arkansas, who are Governor Dona- shey's most ardent supporters. And by the way Gabe Bloch, Or one of his representatives will soon be in Fort Smith to fix the saloon people for Governor Donaghey, as he has already been in Hot Springs on that mission.
 The Grafter'' of whom Parker speaks. do not know other than him. self, whom l am told by reliable au- thority has represented the whiskey interest of Western Arkansas as their lobyist in the legislature for the last SIX or eight years, and is now said to be employed by them and Governor Donaghey.
 AS to the Caldwell and Drake Gang l do not know, but for the benefit of the public, I will say that It became my duty, as sheriff of Pull aski county, to arrest Caldwell after he was indicted by the grand jury of this county, and that I saw that he put up good sufficient bond. This is the only relation Of any kind or character l have eyer had with the firm of Caldwell and Drake. and the statement that I have had any con- neet1on other than l have just stated is an infamous falsehood. As to the sAnanias Club supporting me, will say, l will be glad to have Governor Donaghey meet me in Fort Smith. or elsewhere, and deny if he can. any statements I have ever male in re- gard to his record.
 As to the interview Donaghev gives out in regard to ris reasons for cut ting down the appropriations of the different charitable institutions. I will say that they are in accord with the charges I make, that he is incom- petent and has not the executive abil- 1ty to be governor of the great state of Arkansas. Governor Donaghey, in interviews with reporters, anticipated that his Tax Commission law would bring one million dollars additional in taxes. Now, if this one million dollars additional taxes would be brought into the treasury, why didn't he borrow from the state capitol or some other fund sum sufficient, to

Whiting Board Busy.

The Whiting board of health is not
combining its activities to the ordin-
airy channels of work of such depart
ments. but is continually seeking new
ways of being useful. Believing the
health of the people to be directly pro-
portiona1 to the size of their pocket
books, the board, besides giving at
tention to the quality. is investigating
the quantity of real food obtained for
the money expended.
The first investigation taken up yield
ed some surprising results. This was
upon breakfast foods" The popular
ity of these so-called breakfast foods
seems to argue a long felt want OF
some kind, but the Whiting officials
seem to believe their value is a real
breakfast, 1t is possible they may be
useful in those households whose mem
bers cannot eat heartily in the morn
ing.
There are many forms of these foods
on the market, and the housewife is nc
doubt often puzzled to know which II
the most economical to buy. None Of
them were found to be really economi
cal food, and some were as high priced
as the best cuts OF meat. Packages o.
those brands that have the most fire
quent sale in Whiting were secured
from the shelves of a groceryman, and
the net weight of the food was care
fully ascertained.
