he was going to bolt the party if
not nominated, but left a loop hole
through which he might escape

lltical future and no mention was
made of extravaganza Baker re-
piled TO the governor aud request

tnre, the governor placed an ex-
pert accountant at work on the
books OF the prison and the report

with the figures contained in the
annual report as made by Baker.

REBUKES THE LEGISLATURE
Tells of Abuse of Power by Peace Justices in Imposing Excessive Sentences

Little Rock. Ark, Dec. 17.-As- Gov. West. of Oregon. delivered a crushing blow to capital punishment in his state by executing four men in one day in spite of protests and petitions from the people in an 11th hour awakening, so Gov. Donaghey, of Arkansas. today. has started a fight on convict labor, giving 360 men sen
 fenced to the state prison and county prisons their liberty.
 Three convict camps, where prison CTS work for contractors. will be wiped out by the governors action. In explaining his action, the gover- nor issued statement which will be
 presented to the state legislature in which he declares that some members of the general assembly were inclined to permit the lease system to con
 tinue.
 ''The abuse of power shown by a few justices of the peace in some
 parts of the state is enough to stag
 ger those who have given the matter no attention" the governor declared. "I have secured reports which are in- deed startling. But for the record, they could scarcely be accepted as
 and personal statements by civilized people-and but for the necessity | which compels me to officially trans
 init to you an account of all pardons | granted by me, giving the reason
 therefore, I would be loathe to make known, in a manner, for the outside world, to know, the statements ob- tafned.''
 Gov. Donaghey points out that he l has consistently fought the convict lease but in spite of his appeals and legislature, no adequate, relief has been given. The governor believes the state prisoners should be worked on the state highways and state farms and to force the legislature co11vening g next month to act and rem owe the in centive for the formation of a Hobby opposing the abolfshment of the lease | system he has practically eInptied the penftentiary.

 ON ENGRAVING
Witness Says American Bank note Co. Alone Can Do Busi- ness With Stock Exchange

Washington, Dec. 17.-George H. Kendall, president of the New York Banknote Company, was witness before the money trust probe com mittee yesterday. He testified that no American Banknote Company could ity engraving. Because of this em- bargo, he declared that his company and other independent companies were prevented from securing an enormous volume of business. The Standard Oil Company, the witness said, was the only company powerful enough to have it's engraving done by an inde- pendent cofnpany.
 The United States Steel Company, Kendall declared, had been forced to pay g, 1000, 600 within the past 10 years for securities his company or any other company would have been glad to prepare for half the sum-
 The Boston and New York stock exchanges, the witness said, were the only ones which maintained this em- bargo against independent companies. This was despite the fact that the prices quoted by independents were 20 to 50 per cent. lower than those of the American Banknote Company.
 The Franklin Lee Banknote Com pany, the Republic Engraving Com pany of Pittsburgh, the Hamilton Banknote Company of New York and the Western Banknote Company of Chicago, have for ten years been sub sidiaries of the American Banknote Company, while ostensibly competi- tors, the witness declared.

New York, Dec. Awhile President elect Wilson was at work on his reg ular. job as Governor Of New Jersey, in Trenton, today, the march of the patriots was in full swing. Not since the last Democratic President, Grover Cleveland, went into office, has there been so many men openly ac- knowledging their ability to save the country as at present.

And 1t WAS announced sorrowfully from McCombs' office today that there are few who supported the victor in the last election who have not put in claims for recognition.
