MAJORITY WILL
 BE ENORMOUS MAKES FINAL STATEMENT THANKS LOYAL FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS FOR THE
 CERTAIN VICTORY.

Little Rock, March 28.-Yesterday was a most cheerful day at Governor | Donaghey's office. The governor had | just returned from a whirlwind can vass of northwest Arkansas, where he was given every assurance of the most sweeping victory ever accorded gub- ernatorial candidate in Arkansas. At every appointment during the past week he was literally given an ova- tion, and at two appointments where persons representing his opponent at tempted to interrupt his speeches, they were howled down by the crowd. Gov ernor Donaghey states that friends who are we'll advised as to the situa- | tion predict that there is not a county ] in the northwest part of the state which he will not carry by a vote of from five to ten to one. Governor Donaghey left this morn ing for McCrory, where he speaks this afternoon. He will close his campaign at Hazen tomorrow night.
 In yesterdays Little Rock papers, Governor Donaghey made his final statement to the voters, as follows: To the Democracy of Arkansas:
 A few last words before you vote. My victory is assured by stupendous majority. Not only a victory for me, but also for the cause of good govern ment and honest Democracy.
 1 want to thank you for your confi- dence in me. I desire to express my gratitude to you for upholding me in my efforts to advance the state in every walk, and to place Arkansas be- fore the world as commonwealth of great opportunity.
 This grand state must not retro grade. It must not stand still. It must move forward-forward in ev- erything that makes a state great.
 Every movement to make known the amazing resources of Arkansas must be encouraged. Far and wide should be disseminated in a proper manner the knowledge that Arkansas with it's wonderful advantages is the place for the good citizen to come.
 The invitation to desirable people to assist in our development must be hearty and must be sincere. It must be backed by something to show, and God helping me, before the end of my administration, if honest, untiring ap- plication and self-denying efforts amount to anything, Donaghey will have done his part in placing Arkan- sas in the proud position she should occupy in the galaxy of states. - 1 A word with reference to the oppo- sition to me.
 Not an opposition demanded by the people-for they were satisfied.
 Not an opposition wanted by the people-for the people knew that l was fulfilling my promises to them.
 Not an opposition wished for by any lover of his state-for he knew the state was in safe and loyal hands.
 But a markable-crazy opposi-
 An opposition with no apparent is sue for an excuse.
 A scurrilous opposition with islander 1 for its weapon.
 An opposition with foul reekings from the gutter.
 An opposition so indecent that type anu paper were uellleu WlCH lodtHSOfne caricature.
 An opposition that pure-minded people were shocked at and that pa triots resent.
 A desperate, FRENZIED opposi- tion.
 Such frenzied opposition and desire to encompass my defeat could not, and did not, have birth in the person al ambition of anyone.
 The movement has deeper signifi- canoe than this.
 The state had been robbed.
 I turned on the searchlight.
 The discovery of the despoilers meant that the occupation of the boodler was gone.
 My retention in office meant that nc bills to reimburse grafters could be passed or would be signed by me.
 DONAGHEY WAS IN THE WAY.
 And they thought Democracy would stand for it.
 They didn't know the definition o1 } pure Democracy.
 Democracy does not fly the black flag of graft.
 Honest Democracy stands for pro gress, in the right way-for just anC } economic government of state affairs for absolute honesty in the admins ] tration of everything pertaining tC the state-for advancement, mora and material. And if sometimes tC preserve this ideal 1t is deemed neces
