REPLY TO J. I. MARTIN

In last weeks Journal, Rev. J. |. Martin states that Judge Pearce was in the combine to keep cer- tain candidate from getting his name on the ticket, so am inform ed, and this simply because he could not use him." and in speak ing of a bridge in Black River, he says, Read what Judge Craig says about it."
 MT. Martin is a good man, and wants to be fair and impartial, but his judgement is easily prejudiced along certain lines.
 1 WAS NOT in such a combine, and some politician has put that under his hat, knowing that it would peculiarly appeal to his pre- judices.
 As to the bridges am sure that has been thoroughly diseased over the county.
 Personally, 1 have profound re- spect for Rev. J. 1. Martin as a man and a minister, and l regret to know that he feels it his duty to tell the good people of Indepen- dence county how to vote. More over, 1t is better, for all concerned, to simply give all candidates a square deal and let the people de- eide for themselves. Yours truly,
 CUL. L. PEARcE.
 Candidate for County Judge.

in Characteristic Speech lie Tells of Progress
 During His Term

In order to get the full state- mentof Gov. Donaghey'scandidacy for reelection, one must hear the eheif executive make his speech, tor the Little Rock papers give only the portions which will not hurt the interests of the heaviest advertisers ill their papers. These are the very interests that Gov. Donaghey raps so hard in his speech. When he spoke here last Saturday Coy. Donaghey declined the offer of the Auditorium and climbed on cotton bale on the depot platform from where he ad- dressed at least 800 people, and during the discourse of an hour and a half, scarcely a person de- parted.
 "I beleive that the State of Ark ansas should stay sober," stated Gov. Donaghey when discussing the liquor question. Individuals take their liquor without great in- jury to anyone but themselves, but not so with the representatives of the state. We must have sober representatives in our Senate be- fore they can soberly consider laws which mean much to the state. You all know what the liquor machine has done to Arkansas. am against any machine holding its hands about the throat of the state, and when am renominated l will bend my energies to put this machine out of existence. This machine is mad with me because caused the Initiative and Referen- dun, by which the people can go around the legislature and vote on the liquor question, to become d law. They know that if am elect ed and the people vote for the punishment of liquor from the state that 1t will be a dry state. They have stated that 1 would not sign the three mile petition in Lit tie Rock, to put liquor out there. I could not legally sign this petition as my home is in Conway. I have to day signed the petition to refer the statewide proposition to the people and the circulator of 1t will show my signature if you do not feel inclined to take my word.
 Speaking on the State Capitol matter, Gov. Donaghay defed any one in the audience to say he had

 And as to whether or not I would better serve the interest of the people in the enforcement of the law against all alike both small and great, individual and collect i've, you may consult those ac- quainted with me as a man and my ability as a criminal lawyer, andthestrong endorsement given me by the Lawrence County Dem oeratic Central Committee.
 Trusting that you will give my candidacy a reasonable consider alton before casting your ballot on the 27 of March, 1 remain yours with a promise to use my very best effort to please every one ex- cept the violator of the law.

mistakeand told the sheriff that the Governor had no personal proper ty in this County. Then the Sheriff immediately erased the Governors name from the Book.
 Judge Princes antagonism and. fierce opposition to the Governor began to develop some twenty five years ago when the good peo- pie were trying to drive whiskey from Faulkner County. Judge Prince represented the liquor in- terest and Governor was fighting for prohibition. Judge Prince was defeated, his defeat cankered on his brain and he has been sore every since. Soon after the liquor fight, a cousin of the Governors was mixed up in a very unfortun- ate street fight in which brother in-law of Judge Prince was killed. The Governors kinsman was in- dicted and tried for murder but was acquitted. The Governor naturally aided his kinsman in every legitimate way. The oppo-  sition of Judge Prince Is purely a personal one and any one that knows the facts as they really are would never take the advice of the Judge when it comes to casting a vote for Governor of Arkansas.
 The statements made above are made with great care and preci- sion and can be easily substantiat- ed by the records of the County.

Circuit Clerk of His Home County Gives Facts
 Shown by Records
Conway, Ark. March 9th., 1912 Geo. L. Bevens, Circuit Clerk.
 Batesville, Arkansas.


 Geo. L. Bevens, Circuit Clerk.
 Batesville, Arkansas.
 Dear Sir:- Your letter of the 9th, inst. addressed to J. H. Bailey was referred to me and will say in ge- ply that l believe Donaghey Nill carry this, his home county, by a vote of Is to 1.
 am going to give you some in- teresting facts, and these are facts that are not misrepresented and can be easily substantiated by the records of Faulkner County.
 Judge P. H. Prince, the author of several unsubstantiated charges against the Governor, owns a piece of residence property i'll the city of Conway that would easily bring $3500.00 at force sale. This pro- perty is assessed at $120000 or practically onethirdits actual value Governor Donagbey owns 50 acres of land near the City of Conway, forty acres of which is in the cor porate limits of the City. This for ty acres was taken in last summer when we organized a water works system here because we needed all the available property on which to levy taxes in order to meet the ad- ditional expense.
 The sixty acres owned by Dona- ghey is assessed at SIX tTHOUS- AND FIVE HUNDRED DOL LARS. Our Post Master, 0. J. Owens, offered the Governor Ten Thousand Dollars for this property last spring but the Governor re- fused and said that he would take Twelve Thousand Five Hundred Dollars and was unable to get a purchaser at that price. You can readily see that our Governor IS hewing to the line along the 50 per cent basis on which taxes were assessed for the year 1911. This land is farm land and is being cul- tivated each year. There would be no sale for the property If 1t were cut up into citylots. The town has not grown enough to make such a distribution profitable.
 One Mrs. Samie Little, wife of the wealthiest planter of Faulkner county, is the owner of sixty-eight acres joining and laying broad-slde to the Donaghey sixty referred to above; it is the same class of land,

THE TRUTH ABOUT GOVERNOR
 DONACHEY AS A TAX DODGER

with better improvements and is as- sessed at THIRTY SIX HUM DRIED DOLLARS.
 The Governor ownsseveral busi- ness lots in the city of Conway which are..assessed from TWO TO EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS MORE than those adjoining. The Governor owns considerable river bottom land. This land is wild, un- cleared and undrained, but 1t IS as- sessed from ONE HUNDRED TO ONE HUNDREDAND TWENTY DOLLARS Der the eighty acres more than the adjoing land. This is the way our Governor is dodg- ing his taxes.
 In regard to Judge Princes ar- ticle in the Gazette of recent date in which he accuses the Governor of erasing his name and personal assessment from the Collectors Tax Book, I have this to say: to my own certain knowledge the Governor has not beenin the Court House of Faulkner County for three years and if he had have come to the Court House he would have had no right to have chang ed the records. This you well know. The assessors book for the year 1910 does not show that the Governor was assessed any thing for personal property, all of his personal property was assessed in Pulaski County. On that Cele- brated Page No. 72 of the Collect or's Assessment Book an erasure is shown, but the explanation is simple, so simple that 1 am sur prised that the Judge had the nerve to try to fool the wise con- stitueney who support our Cover nor. During the tax paying time for the year 1911 one MT. C. L. Banner, a business representative of Governor Donaghey, told the Sheriff to make out a list of the Governors taxes and that he would be around to pay them ill a day or so. The Sheriff asked MT. Banner what the Governor had to pay taxes on in this County and MT. Banner replied that 1t would be the same as last year. The Sheriff proceed to list the Cover nor's taxes but unable to find any thing against the Governor on the Assessors Personal Book, and he (the Sheriff entered the Gov ernor's name on the Collector s Personal Book but when MT. Banner came around to pay the Governors taxes he discovered the

number of signatures, and among those who signed the petition was Governor Geo. W. Donaghey. The governor has been so busy cam paigning throughout the state that he had previously had no op- portunnity to sign the petition. Rev. lively is leading all the workers in the number. of sig natures secured, and added to this distinction he now has the luther honor of having secured the gov ernor's signature.

Middle Names

Harper's Weekly: In England mid :
die names were once illegal. English
statutes were most definite as to the
naming of children, as will be seen
from Coke, who states that "a man
cannot have two names of baptism
ut is requisite" states the old English
law, that the person be named by the
name of his baptism and surname and
that special heed be taken to the name
of BAPTISM
Persons of royal extraction in Eng
land have always been allowed to pos
sess more than one given name, but
it is said SO late as the year 1900
there were but four persons in all
the kingdom who possessed two given
names. Even $50 years ago double
names were very uncommon.
