say Wllau wrong they QlQ, or du- init by silence that his harangue is for political purposes.
 If there is a school book trust in Arkansas, why has not the governor suppressed it? He boasts of his allegiance to the an ti-trust low. Yes, my headquar- ters are in Gleason's Hotel, the same hotel in which he kept his rooms during his first campaign. He knows this is the best moder- ate-priced hotel in the city, and that it's manager has no relation to any book company. He ap- pointed the cultured and estim- able wife of this T. P. Murry on the Commission of Education, and solicited his support when he became a candidate for THIRD TERM. and when he found this T. r. Murray would not support him, the said T. P. Murray sud denly became a very bad and dangerous man.
 Is there a whiskey machine that blocks the wheels of State? If so, why should the governor be elected to serve a THIRD TERM when he admits that he has been unable to successfully cope with such an evil agency? Is his ack nowledged incompetency and in ability reason why he should be continued in office? Should l find such an agency there and b e unable to dispose of it during my first term, I shall never ask for a second. If such a machine exists, it is because the governor helped bring it into existence and nurtured it during it's infancy.
 1 have never defended Caldwell X Drake, but have insisted that they should have been compelled to complete the capitol under their contract, or been sued on their bond for non-performance. 1 did say that some of the work performed by Caldwell & Drake, blown out by the governor, was better than that replaced by him, but did not consider this any re commendation of their work.
 Are there any cotton speculat- OrS and gamblers in Little Rock? Perhaps so-they are to be found in most cities of the world. 1 grew to manhood on cotton farm, and still own one, and it is idle to inSinuate that I am in sympathy with their attempt to control prices. The governors bombaStic attempt to prejudice the farmers will be thoroughly understood when it is remember ed that, during his first camp aign, he proposed to transfer his bank stock in order to join the Farmers Union, for political purposes. He lived in the city of Conway, and got lis mail at that postot1ice; but for political purposes, he placed R. r. D. No. 1" on his campaign station cry,
 The governor raves like one distracted about the condition of the cOnvicts under contractors l am opposed to this system, and will try to remedy it. What has he done, or tried to do, during his entire two terms to relieve the situation? He has voted for some of these contracts.
 He says that the Pulaski polit- lcal ring is against him. I do not live in that county, and con sequently do not know. He lives there and ought to l<now.-it went for him both times he has been candidate. At the same time he talks about the ring, he hopes to line it up for bimself a THIRD TIME.
 Frenzied by evidenced of his impending defeat for THIRD TERM, his haranguing about the
 gang" supporting me, is noth- ing but a deliberate, malicious and slanderous effort to try to deceive my friends He furnish. es not one scintilla of evidence of any 5ruth in his charges. So cOmDlptp is tho pvida,co tho+ bo
