DONACHEY'S new
PAMPHLET hot"
ISSUES SIZZLING ADDRESS
GOVERNOR BEGINS MAILING
SCORCHING MESSAGE TO
VOTERS.


VOTERS.
"You Cannot Serve the State and
the Devil" is the title of pamphlet
just issued by Governor George w .
Donaghey, which is pronounced by
those who have read it to be one of the
hottest" and most sensational pieces
of campaign literature ever published
in Arkansas. The work of mailing
100000 copies of the address to the
voters of the state was begun yester-
day by force of clerks under John C.
Hamilton, in the local campaign head
quarters of the governor.
mo man can serve two masters.
bow to the behests of the enemies of
the state, every imp in the camp of
the Devil would be for me- But | will
not betray the people. If | serve the
people l cannot have the friendship of
the gang"
The above opening paragraph of
the address gives an idea of its char
acter and the vigorous language quot
ed above is by no means the strong
est contained in its pages. The
gang" which the governor charges
has combined in the hope of encom-
passing his defeat is condemned in the
severest language. The notorious SEN
ate ring and it's controlling genius,
the whiskey lobby, are assailed in
caustic terms. Appealing to the peo-
pie to elect good and honest men to
the legislature, the governor asks at
one point: will you perpetuate a
condition-the supporters of which
are for Mr.. Robinson-that debauches
the senate through whiskey lobby r;
that made some rooms of the state
capitol place viler than the vilest
wine room den?'
Robinson has been asking that |
name some of the gang Governor
Donaghey writes in the pamphlet

sentative in the last legislature.

the members of which have figured
VIGOROUSLY in grand jury reports.

Drake gang, whose work Robinson en-
dorses.
"The big cotton spectators and
gamblers, who sell the farmers crop
before he gathers it, and force the
price down to starvation figures.
THE Waters-Pierce Oil Company
crew, a subsidiary of the Standard oil
trust.
The Hot Springs gamblers and
thugs.
"The state farm grafters, who tried
to rob the state of $4,000 worth Of
land and 100000 in interest.
"The convict contractors, who want
to squeeze the life-blood out of the
convicts to cram Their own pockets
full of gold.
"The Little Rock street railway,
which has been defrauding the state
out of over $4,000 taxes annually.
"The Pulaski county political ring.
"These are some of the gang They
