WHY DAVIS Is
FOR ROBINSON
COALITION Is EXPLAINED
GOVERNOR DONGHEY SHOWS
UP PARDON DAVIS GRANT
ED ROBINSON.

A very plausible explanation of the
reason why Joe T. Robinson quit the
race for the United States senate and
entered the race for governor and
why jeff Davis is now supporting
Robinson, was given by Governor
Donaghey in a speech delivered at
Van Buren last night, in which the
governor showed that Davis. when
governor, had issued a pardon free
ing Robinson from the payment of an
$4,000 bond for defaulting Lonoke
county bank official.
Recently there has been going ov.
er the state a prominent politician
stating that he has no interest in who
the people elect as their governor,
stated Governor Donaghey. "Yet he
intimates that the people made a
mess when they elected me. He will
not try to influence your vote, yet it
seems as though he is going out of his
way to prejudice you against me.
There was a friendship once ex-
listing between my opponent and SEN
ator Davis when the senator was gov
ernor and there is no indication of
that friendship being broken now.
This friendship is evidenced by the
pardon records of Arkansas, which
show that in 1906 Governor Davis
pardoned Joe T. Robinson to the ex-
tent of $4,000.
"A bank failed in Lonoke county
and a great many poor people lost
their money. Joe T. Robinson was at
torney for the head of the bank, who
was later indicted on 20 counts for
embezzlement. Congressman Robin
son was on the bond of the defendant
and the client ran away before the
case was tired. Governor Davis then
issued pardon for Robinson re-
heving him of the bond and the state
or the people who lost money in the
bank receiving nothing.
Senator Davis has fought me ever
since | entered politics, but up to the
present time | have ignored him"
