DONAGHEYAND THE CAPITOL

MT. Robinson charges that Gov ernor Donaghey has violated his pledge to complete the state house.
 The state house question seems to be worrying good many of the governors enemies, and as 1t will bear looking into let's see about 1t.
 The Legislature of 1903, while Governor Davis was in office, pro- vided for the erection of the new state house, and appropriated one million dollars for the construction of the building. The contract was let to Caldwell 6 Drake, and work commenced under Gov. Davis administration.
 When Gov. Davis retired from office in 1907, this million dollars had been practically exhausted, and but little work done. In other words, with a million dollars in money to begin with, work was begun on the state capitol in 1903, under the Davis administration, and in January, 1909, when Gov. Donaghey went into office, he found the new state house with practically nothing done on 1t ex- cept the foundation. Much of the foundation had to be torn out be- cause of defective work, a con- nittee from the legislature and
The Newark journal., 1912-03-08

We earnestly believe that Gov. Donaghey and the measures he is advocating are far more in the in- terest of the majority-the com- mon people than has been any, thing in this line for years. And we believe when the governor and the issues are understood, the op- position will be very scarce. The governor is leading in the fight, as well as in the race, and the princi- pal opponents he he has are big property owners, boodling politi- clans and the liquor interests. With such facts to face, who do you stand with.-Gravett News.

Web Covington and his bunch

Web Covington and his bunch of boodlers and grafters are after Donaghey's scalp, and are doing their best to elect Robinson. The bunch of grafters who were in sympathy with Caldwell & Drake, the self-confessed boodlers who tried to rob the people in the state house deal, are knocking on Dona- ghey and boosting Robinson. Judge Kavanaugh, president of the Little Rock Street Railway and the Southern Trust Company, two of the biggest tax-dodging corpor- ations in the state, IS fighting the governor and helping MT. Robin son. The gang of Pulaski county political tricksters who can not control Donaghey, have declared war on him, and are whoopin' 'er up for Robinson. The whiskey gang are fighting Donaghey and are lining up their men for Robin son. Around Newark there are probably half a dozen good citi- zens who are for Robinson. We wonder if they are proud of the company they are lining up with?

Senator Davis, Governor Don- aghey and their opponents and a lot of other candidates who have been very popular, are now occu- pying back seats, so far as New ark is concerned. The great and momentus problem of government we are solving now is, shall the great American hog be deprived of his liberty and be compelled to spend his days in some foul pen in a back alley, or shall he be ac- corded the same privilege of other citizens, with the admonition to go forth upon the highways and byways and multiply and replen- ish the wealth of the land and help to banish poverty from this land of the free and home of the brave. It is great and momen- tus problem of government, and no candidate for any office, high or low, need come to Newark so- liciting votes unless he is willing to declare himself upon this ques- ton.

two experts from the U. s. War Department at Washington having condemned 1t, and about $175,000 had to be spent by Gov. Donaghey in tearing out this defective worK.
 Gov. Donaghey has spent, all told, $695, ,000 on the state house. But after deducting the $175,000 he had to spend in tearing out the defective work of Caldwell & Drake, we find that he has only spent $520,000 in the actual con- struction of the building.
 When Donaghey went into of- flee, he found the state house hardly started, and yet a million dollars and nearly six years time had been spent on 1t. The con- tractors were not only putting in DEFECTIVE WORK but were actually BRIBING MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATURE IN AN EFF FORT TO BLEED THE STATE FOR MORE MONEY.
 Donaghey had the contractors discharged, tore out their defect i've work, and has erected the building, from the foundation up, with several expensive changes from the original plans, and the building stands today MORE THAN COMPLETED, so far as the original contract specified. And this has been done with an expen- allure of only $520,000.
 Charge up the defective work to the former administration, where it rightfully belongs, and we find that Donaghey has spent less than half as much in two years as the preceding administra- ton spent in six years, and has done more than twice as much work.
 So far as the building itself is concerned, the state house is fin ished. The only work that re- mains to be done is the perfecting of a suitable lighting and heating plant, installing steel vaults and other appliances in the treasurer's office, completing and flooring the basement and sub-basement, fur nishing the offices of the state of ficials, and terraeing and landScap- ing the grounds. None of these were included in the original con- tract, and so far as that contract IS concerned, the building is more than finished.
 With the completion of the minor details mentioned above, the Arkansas state capitol will stand the most imposing structure on Southern soil. It will be a good investment for the state, and is a building that every patriotic citi
