one written by Mr.. Voohers, in
which ne stated that company

business of the Pocahontas Ice &
Power Co. and combine the three
INTO one. 1t is understood that the
members, especially the smaller
stockholders of the Ice & Power Co.
would be glad to dispose of their in,

that a combination deal can be made.
With this understanding the gentle
man writing to Mr.. Eoohers states
that the matter will be considered
favorably by the water works COM
pany.
Mr.. Voohers is also in correspond
ence with several other companies
in different cities and will probably
have something material to propose

ROBINSON SPOKE
TO LARGE AUDIENCE

Congressman Joe T. Robinson
who is opposing Governor Geo. w.
Donaghey for the third term as
Governor, addressed large crowd
at the court house last Thursday af-
ternoon IN the interest Of his candl-
dacy. Mr.. Robinson spoke for two
hours and the crowd did not tire but
rave him close attention during his
entire speech. Frequent bursts of
applause greeted the speaker as his
convincing arguments began to
bring the large crowd to his way OF
looking at the condition of the at
fairs of state from Governor'svlew.
point. He criticized Governor
Donaghey's administration severely
and on different occasions brought
forth the records to prove his asser'
tiOns.
Mr.. Robinson said be favored
submitting the liquor question to
the people and let them vote on it,
the same as all other questions or
issues that concerned them. He
stated that if he had been governor
he would not have permitted the
saloon that Governor Donaghey
spoke of to have been operated III
the State House during the last ses'
sion of the legislature. He stated
further that he would have routed
the notorious "machlne" that has
been the chief bone of contention
for the aspirants for Governor for
the last ten or twelve years, and that
he would have cleaned matters up
while that body was in session and
not have waited until the present
campaign came on before taking de-
cIded action.
We cannot dwell at length on the
address of Mr.. Robinson at this
time. We do not deem it necessary
as Mr.. Robinson will have his plat
form published in full in this paper
within the next few weeks. We
are free to admit however that Mr..
Robinson is a brilliant man, force
ful speaker and would make Gov
ernor of which we would all be
proud.
