western Newspaper Union News Service.
 tdttie Rock.-Beginnins in the near future, Gov. Donaghey will make A tour of the state speaking in favor of statewide prohibition and the grand. rather clause amendment to the state constitution, according to his announ. cement. The governor has received several invitations to speak in favor Of the statewide prohibition bill to bs voted oh in September, and says that he will actively support this measure.
 IAe governor also will champion the grandfather clause" amendment to the constitution, regarding which he said:
 ms state should be controlled by the white people. The negro has not advanced to the stage where he should vote generally. The elimination of the negro from the ballot is best for the white man and also for the negro himself. Having passed this amend ment l am then in favor of passing election laws so stringent that ballot boI stuffing will be done away with. To my mind ballot-box stutfing will cause more dissension and strife and actual hloodshed, if not stopped"
 The governor says he may not dis cuss the Turner-Jscobsen bill. but says he is as much iA favor of it as nc ever was and thinks it is for tho best interests ef the people of the state. He is also in favor of the so. day session of the legislature amend. ment, and fayers the recall of public officials. with the exception of the judges. He says che judiciary system Of this state is geed enough.
 Gov. Donasaey stated that he has not locked inc the merits of the amendment to permit bond issue by municipalities, but that he is in favor Of the amendment to exempt cotton factories from taxation during the next 1t years.
