meal for several years? Does it seem
that your meal has more bulls in it
than it used to? If it does have more
hulis in it than it used to have, who
puts the extra hulls in it? Do you
believe it is right for these bulls to
be put in your meal? The same peo-
pie who adulterated the cottonseed
meal are opposing Donaghey BY
watching closely you will observe that
Donaghey is not found in the COM
pany of any of the above-named char
acters. Should anyone be judged by
the company he keeps? If you should
see man in company with a thief,
a robber and murderer, what would
be your opinion of that man, if he
seemed to be enjoying that company?
If Donaghey is not keeping com
pany with the trust headers, whiskey
gang and state capitol bribe- takers,
then with whom are they" keeping
company? Who are they following,
Or rather, what candidate is following
them?
1t has been asked What has Dom
aghey odne since he has been COVER
nor?" We would ask, What has he
not done that should have been done,
Stree he has been governor, if it could
have been done?" Did he not help es-
teblish four agricultural schools? Did
he not fight the Hot Springs gam
blers? Did he not fight Caldwell &
Drake and their gang? Did he not
veto eXtravagant appropriation bills,
thereby saving the state large sums
of money? Has he not fought d cor
rupt convict system? Uas he not
shown mercy by pardoning conv.cts
when mercy was due? Has he done
any low, vile and groveling tricks?
Has he done anything beneath the
dignity of a gentleman n any re-
spect? Absolutely nothing, because,
il he had his enemies would nave
found it out and told it by this time.
Of course, Wen admit that Dona-
ghey is not phrase builder and ora
tor-that he was not born with q ST.
yer spoon in his mOuth-that he did
not get as much book-learning as
some people have, that he is not a
Theoretical statesman, bat we will say
that he is a pretty good, plain, blunt
talker; that he did learn much from
experience, and that he is construc-
i've statesmen instead Of theoretic-
al statesman. Mr.. Voter, do you
know that there's a difference between
our constructive" statesmen and our
"theoreticaP statesmen? Do you
know that Thomas Jefferson was the
greatest constructive statesman the
United States ever had? Did you
know that Thomas Jefferson could
not deliver a speech in an oratorical
manner? Do you know the difference
between theory and "practice?" Is
there a difference between telling
things and doing" things? If you
know the difference between telling"
things and doing" things, you have p
pretty good idea of our two candi-
dates for governor. Robinson is an
excellent hand at telling" things;
Dcnaghey is an excellent hand at do
ing" things. Which would you rather
have?
We have asked you to tell us one
thing Donaghey has done that he
should not have done; also, one thing
that he hasn't done which should have
been done. And Donaghey has done
Things, tOO-uOu IOISeI lHdl.
Now, we want to ask you what Mr.
R. has ever done-just one thing
that entities him to be called con-
structive statesman?
Do you know, or have you ever
heard of one piece of constructive
craftsmanship that originated in Mr..
RS brain-just one?
Mr.. Voter, if you wanted to hire a
hand to work on the farm, would you
take a musician who had never work
ed any ON the farm, or would you take
ar experienced farm hand?
One of Mr. RS friends criticised Mr.
Gates because Mr.. Gates said that he
(Mr Gates had quit a $500 per
month position to take the position of
state tax commissioner at 5000 per
month. This critic said that he (the
critic) had no faith in man that
would quit $500 position for a 5000
position. Let's apply this to the pres
ent situation in the governors race.
/ Mr.. r. is congressman at $500 per
year or 1925 per month. He is rum
ming for governor which pays $4,000
per year or 1888 1-3 per month";
difference of 1921 2-3 per month.
Does the faith decrease in proportion
to the size of the decrease in salary?
