Colonel Suggs plans to have the

taken up with Mr. Hudson and Mr..
Johnson.
According to Mr.. Suggs, the dis

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Sept. 25.- The week opens politically, with an address at Hot Springs by Gov. Donaghey in support of the Revenue act. Congressman Robinson spoke there not long ago, and riddled the measure with his opposition and Gov. Donaghey accepted the invita- tion to speak at the opening of the Garland circuit court, to answer him.
 While continuing his speech making, however, for the en- lightenment of the public from his viewpoint on the chief bone of contention in the politics of the day, he declines to enlighten the people as to his own inten- tions. The belief grows strong CT that he will finally get into the contest for a third term.
