The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1912-11-06
THE TRIUMPH OF DEMOCRACY.

After sixteen years wandering in the desert
the Democratic party has finally entered the
promised land BY an overwhelming vote in
the electoral college and large plurality of
The popular vote woodrow Wilson and Thomas
r. Marshall. son and grandson OF Virginia,
have been elected and with them a Democratic
house of representatives and probably a Demo-
cratic senate.
The triumph of the Democratic party was
not a small one 1t was not victory nosed
cut in the last moment. but victory Of
tremendous import, showing that the voters
IL the country had turned again TO the party
Of Jefferson for guidance, II is victory of
which every man who has stood by the party
of the people through long sevres OF de-
seats, unterrined and undismayed, may wen
be proud Throughout the nation the hosts
Sf Democracy are rejoicing today for they
have come into their own at last.
Virginia and the South, especially. have
cause for rejoicing. The States which have stood
scIidly for Jefersonian principles through
victory and defeat which have never strayed
after false gods but have held fast to that
which was good, feel this morning triumphant
exuItation over victory and the citation that
comes with a good work well performed.
Virginia is justly proud for the Old Dominion
has again given of her offspring to the nation
in great crisis. At critical periods In the
history of the country all eyes have been
turned to Virginia for help and Virginia has
never failed. She gave Washington to lead
s3ha erriaS af tha country against the foreign
tyrant and then gave him to the nation to
guide her first footsteps. She gave Jefferson
and Madison and Monroe during the critical
period of the republics early life. She gave
Taylor and Tyler in the days Just following
th~ Mexican war and just preceding the War
Between the States. Now in these days when
representative and constitutional government
u Mt stake assaulted by demagogues on one
{ side and by those who would control it for
iheir own selfish purposes on the other, she
gives Woodrow Wilson. Truly Virginia and
the South have the right to feel thrill OF
exultation; truly that small body of Demo
Gratis In the North and West who have stood
true to their principles when the darkness Of
night gathered around them have the right
to exult with them.
1t is great day for Democracy and, We
believe a great day for the nation.

Ing that you never would have called

ing that you never would have called the attention of the people to this legislative corruption if you had not wanted them to honor you with the office of governor for third term.
 Governor, why do you ask the people to elect you to the third term? Don't you know that only twenty-five men could hold this office as long as you have in a century-a hundred years? Just think of it. And yet you want a third term?
 In your epistle, on page ', you con- tinue to discuss the "T' and "J' bill, the corporations and "tax dodgers"
 Governor, why don't you say "us tax dodgers?" The people know you would not make trap in which to catch yourself
 Now, governor, will not ask you about the vast amount of real estate you own in this state, which is assess ed by the assessors owner unknown" I conjecture this is the property you propose to sell at it's assessed value: but, governor, I just want to ask you particularly about che item. Where and how did you assess the $S0,000 you collected on one fire insurance policy on a building of yours at Seventh and Main streets, in the city of Little Rock which burned in Janu- ary, 1911?
 l know you have vast amount of property but ask you to please ex- plain about this sS0,000 insurance money. We can't find it on the tax books in Pulaski or Faulkner counties, where your homes are, and where your personal property is assessed.
 Now, governor, you will not meet your opponent in public debate. Why?
 If you so thoroughly routed Attor- ney General Norwood at Harrison, as you say you did, you must be an able debater, and therefore you do not decline to meet Mir. Robinson on that account.
 Then why do you refuse to meet him? Are you saying things about Mir. Robinson you are not willing to say in his presence, or is it because you know you cannot answer or ex- plain the charges he brings against you? Why, governor?
 The people will expect you to answer this letter, and if you remain silent they will conclude that thereby you agree that you cannot explain your very devious and winding course since you entered upon your public career. Yours truly,
 George W. Reaves.
 (Thfs open letter was published in the Little Rock Daily Gazette, Feb. ruary 25th, 1912; 20 days have passed and Governor Donaghey has not an. sWered.)

ROBINSON CLUB
 MAY HEAR ITS IDOL
GubernatOrial Candidate is Trying to Arrange to Accept the Invitation
 To Speak in This City.

Meyer Solmson. secretary of the Joe T. Robinson Club Of Jefferson county, has received word from MT. Robinson that he will make every eff fort to speak in this city before the close of the present state campalgn' The members of the Robinson Club in this county are only awaiting the naming of the date for his coming to arrange for the big torchligh, process sion and reception in his honoh.
 Mir. Robinson states that he hopes to speak in Pine Bluff few nights before the stare campa gn closes, but is nCt certain that he will be aoie to reach this city during the pres campaign on account of o,zh5T ap- pointments in counties that he has not yet visited. He is anxious to speak here, not because of any doubt that he will not carry Jefferson county, but because of the invitation that has been extended him by the Robinson Club. He fully appreciates the good work tha, is being done by it's members and says that it's llflu- ence has spread to adjoining coun- ties.
 Letters received from more than thirty magistrates in various toWn- ships and voting precincts oyer the county by the secretary of the Rob- inson Club indicate that Mir. Robin son will receive an almost solid vo'e in the country distr, cts. His vote in this city will be equally as satis- factory. Until some definite infor- nation is received from NIr. Robin son as to his yisis, if he finally de- cides 70 come to this city, no meet ing of the Robinson Club will be called.

DONAGHEY AS A
 BUSINESS GOVERNOR
Offered to Build New State Capitol
 for Less Than Million Dollars.

In 1902, MT. George w. Donaghey said, through the Arkansas Democrat, that he would build the capitol for one million dollars. Tn commenting on the capitol question, MT. Donaghey said Certainly the estimate given by Mir. Mann included everything to complete the entire job."
 At the Democratic State Conven- tion in Hot Springs, in 1906, the gov ernor said he could complete the capi- tol for $250,000.
 In his campaign for governor in 1908, he said he could complete the capitol in twelve months and at a cost of about $4O0,O0O.
 He became governor in 1909. He and his commission have spent on the capitol S605,00O in addition to the use of large number of convicts and the cost of the heating plant-a total cost of approximately $750,00O.
 Now the governor asks for third term and wants $672,00O to be used in completing the capitol.
 As a contractor, he offered to build the capitol for less than one million dollars; as governor he has made it cost about two and one-half millions. The governor has offered no satisfac. tory explanation for this enormous in. crease in the cost of the capitol above his own estimate and the people have decided that as Business Governor from their viewpoint, he is an expen. sive luxury, and that they had better fire" him as a governor and hire him as a contractor.

UPON LEGAL POINTS
HANGS FATE OF BIG
LOAN ASSOCIATION

SAN FRANCISCO, August 10
Especial to The Advertiser by Poulsen
Wireless Upon the constutionality of
the building and loan association law
stands the fate of the Continental
Building and Loan Association. If Judge
Seawell, who today took under advise
ment demurrer to the petition of the
attorney general to approve the action
of Commissioner George II. Walker,
holds that the act is constitutional, the
state will conduct the liquidation of
the concern. If not, then the present
management will resume control and
conduct the liquidation according to
their announced intentions. The ar
gument in Judge Seawell g court today
was largely technical and had to do
with the question whether the action
sought by the attorney general is es.
sentially one of it's solvency. If so,
argued the attorneys for the Cont
mental, then The only way in which the
corporation can be liquidated is by
bankruptcy in the federal court.
