ter presented strongly to Mr.. Hine
mon as being the only platform on
which he could win. l told this gen
tleman then-it was about the last
day of October-that | knew Mr..
Hinemon did not have the nerve to
play a role so bold as that; that there
was only one condition under which
he would make such an announcement
that if he should reach point in
that campaign where he was lost and
knew he was lost, he would then prob
ably make such a plunge. Let it be
remembered that this conversation &C.
CURED just a day or two before the
Anti Saloon League forces had de-
term;ned whether or not we would
bring on a campaign for statewide
prohibition. In two or three days we
agreed to bring on the campaign. A
&C Insulation was Immediately held
lit was held in my office-to determine
what attitude We should assume in
the governors race then on. We
wore not five minutes reaching our
conclusion. Mr.. Donaghey had re-
peatedly told me that he would de-
clare for state wide prohibition when
ever the temperance leaders decided
lit was best | had a similar declara-
ton from my friend, Mr.. McFarlane,
who was also in the race. 1t was
known to us that Mr.. Kirby and Mr..
Hinemon, the remaining candidates,
were temperance men. Our conclu-
sion was quickly and unanimously
reached, that we not only must not
force this issue upon these candidates,
but must, if possible, get THEM to
agree not to raise it, for the plain
reason that if it were raised at all,
all four of them must take up the one
attitude, and fifth man would clean
up the bunch and clean us up. One
Of our men went to Mr.. Hinemon,
speaking now as to his part of it, and
that man reported to US that Mr.
Fl inemon assented to the proposition,
pronouncing it very wise We con-
sidered that We had his agreement
Sixty days after the Fort Smith con-
vorsation, above referred to, and
about So days after the consultation
in my office, above referred to, Mr.
Hinemon found himself lost in the
campaign, denied this agreement, vio-
lated it, and came out at the very hole
on which | had put my finger in talk
ing to the Fort Smith gentleman. 1t
is needless to say that the Fort Smith
man quit him cold, and it is also need
less to say that for my part, | could
not see the moral heroism in his act
which some people saw, though for
my blindness some few have been dis
posed to hammer me ever since But
/ have stood all the hammering am
going to stand. The truth is forced
out, though there will be more to fol
low, should it be necessary.

SCORES HINfMON
SHOWS UP INSINCERITY
kNTI-SALOON LEAGUE LEAD
Err GIVES INSIDE FACTS IN
RECENT CAMPAIGNS.

In singing statement published
over his signature in yesterdays Ga
zette, DR.. James A. Anderson of Con-
way, a member of the Arkansas Anti
Saloon League and editor of the
Western Methodist, scores John H.
Hinemon and shows his insincerity in
the recent campaigns. DR.. Ander-
son says:
at had been my intention to have
absolutely nothing to say to the pub
lie with reference to the present gu
bernatorial campaign. l adhered to
that intention till l saw statement
from Mr.. John H. Hinemon in the
Gazette of March %, in which he uses
my name and leaves me in a false
light before the public. He says that
| made statement four years ago
which confirmed his conviction that
the saloon men were not supporting
him. Now, that statement at the time
got into the papers, and it is therefore
a matters of public record. Refer
ence to it here is an attempt to put
me in the attitude of having said that
some of the saloon men We're support
ing Mr.. Donaghey at that time, and
thus make me a witness against Mr.
Donaghey for the purposes of the
present campaign. In this light | will
not stand. The truth is that | did at
that time admit that many saloon
men were supporting Mr.. Donaghey
ard, accompanying the admission, |
gave the reason for their support
namely, that it was not based upon
any sort of agreement on the part of
Mr. Donaghey, as l well knew, but
arose from the compulsion of another
man, who was bent on keeping the
vote from going to another candidate,
according to his own statement at
that time, and who was in position to
inflict great damage upon the saloon
men, and who was pouring the whip
on to them all through the campaign
like they were lot of hounds. | will
add that while | knew at the time
that Mr.. Donaghey had nothing to dc
with the case, | afterwards obtained
full proof that not even his manager
Judge Milwee, had anything at all to
do with it. They were in the attitude
of simply obtaining the fruits of it,
without any sort of promise of agree
ment on their part. If that was a
crime, what shall now be said of Mr.
Hinemon and his crowd who are back
ed by the solid liquor vote of this
state, and who are making no sort of
complaint of the fact, and who do not
dare do what Governor Donaghey is
now doing, tell them they do not want
their vote!
LAS for Mr.. Hinemons attitude
four years ago, prominent citizen of
Fort Smith, who was at that moment
a supporter of Mr.. Hinemon, wrote
me asking to see me in Fort Smith
when | got to Fort Smith he told me
he desire to discuss statewide pro-
hibtion; told me he had had the mat

Brandt Practically Free.

New York, Feb Except for ser. vice of five years in prison, Folke E. BHandt is tonight the same man in the eyes. of the law as he was before he was sent away on April 1, 1907, to serve 90 years for burglary at the home of Mortimer l.. Schff, where he once worked as servant. The long prison term was broken up to. day when Justice Gerard of the su. preme court sustained a writ of ha- beas corpus obtained in Brandt's be. half
 The young Swede remained at the Tombs tonight, but with assurance that he would be released on bail later to await new trial or any oth. CT development in his remarkable case.
 What other. developments than new trial there might be were tonight matter of some controversy, but it was widely assumed that the hearing before Commissioner Hand, appoint ed by Governor Dix to hear Brandts application for clemency, was now of no importance, as 1t was held that pardon could not be given to man who, as Brandt now does, stands un- condemned, with only charges pend ing.
 Justice Gerard's decision brought 10 a climax case which has had the absorbed attention of the public for nearly month, and is stiu a mat ter of grand jury investigation to de- termiHe If thase--2la conspiracy in giving Brandt suCh long term
 According to records Justice Ger, ard read into his decision, Brandt on March 2S. 1907.. withdrew plea of not guilty to the indictment charging that he feloniously broke into the Schiff house and stole two pins and shoe horn, and pleaded guilty. fn HchtNhNthS hhh h Wtch ldltI 10 oD years in prison, Judge Otto 4. Rosal sky illegally condemned the man. ac cordlng 10 Justice Gerard.
 The court held that the examination of Brandt at the time he was sen fenced tended to refute he plea to a charge Of first degree burglary, as he denied that he forced entrance to the schiff house.
 "The questions aud answers set forth in the examination" declared Justice Gerard. "show that Brandt, whatever crime he committed, did enot break to enter, within the mean. ing of the law, and showed that the crime of burglary in the first degree, or in any degree. was not in fact, committed.'
 The justice then ruled that a court is without jurisdiction to sentence a prisoner, for crime which it is plain the prisoner does not admit that he committed, and to which he does not plead guilty"
 Brandt. it was decided this even. ing, will remain in the Tombs until Friday. when by agreement of coun- sel he will be released on bail fur aished by surety company.
 District Attorney Whitman said to.  night that he would confer with At torney General Carmody as to wheth. Fer the state should appeal from Jus tice Gerard's decision and win take no steps until after this conference
 As to the status of Commissioner Hands investigation. the distrbss at torney said the governor. cannot par don Brandt now Brandts position Is that Of 8 man who has been in
