In hunting there is nothing that

the rogue and man or woman will
ride their best hunter to death to

The opening shows "the assem-

tearing into the arena followed by
many riders in scarlet coats, white

hunting field where mans chivalry to

EAST ARKANSAS
 FOR DONACHEY GOVERNORS POPULARITY FORREST CITY PAPER SAYS COMPOSITION HAS SCUR-
 REED TO COVER"

The withdrawal of No,woo9 from the race for Governor has had the et- feet of clearing the political atmos- phere in Eastern Arkansas, and it s now an assured fact that Governor Donaghey will carry this section of the state by an overwhelming major ity. The governor is being openly en- dorsed by all classes of citizens, and the opposition has not yet been able to develop enough strength to create even a ripple upon the surface of the political waters. George Donaghey is power in the public affairs of the great state of Arkansas and is prov
 Ing himself to be great leader with the initiative and ability to hold the confidence and loyalty of the mighty Democratic hosts throughout the state. The man has not yet been found in Arkansas who will be able to stem the tide of Donagheys popu- larity, and already the handwriting on the wall is so plain the opposition has scurried to cover until now the few who had the temer;ty to stand out against the Governor for a brief season are afraid to speak above a whisper. Put Eastern Arkansas

practically solid in the Donaghey col umn.-Forrest City Times.

Commenting on the above the Wayne Progress says:
 In another place in this paper will be found an article copied from the Forrest City Times. The Times believes that the withdrawal from the race for Governor practically assures Donaghey's election; at least it as- sures that he will carry East Arkan- sas. Gov. Donaghey has gained in every race he ever made, at least gained in his last race over his first race, when he was elected Governor. In his first race he hardly made a showing in Independence county, and in his last race he carried the county by handsome majority. In most of the counties of the state he made great gains. If Gov. Donaghey has lost any friends in East Arkansas, it is someone he has displeased by en- deavoring to do his duty, and the ma jority of the people will remain with him."

FIFTY THOUSAND NAMES BY MAY 8
GOAL OF PROHI WORKERS
A VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN FOR STATEWIDE INITIATIVE
 BILL IS NOW ON.

Little Rock, Feb. 5.-Fifty thous- and signatures to the statewide pro hibition petition by May 8, is the goal that has been set by the Rev. Frank Barrett and his co-workers who are uteengaged upon the initiation of a stated wide law. And they are going about it systematically.
 Prominent temperance workers are in the field constantly. Preliminary to the circulation of the petition in any county, mass meetings are held at some central point by some of the numerous workers and a central com mittee appointed to have charge of the work in that county, and see that the petition is circulated
 The petition is now being circulat- ed ;n the counties of Jackson, Wood ruff, Lonoke, Craighead, Greene, Clay, Poinsett, Crittenden, Lawrence, Randolph, Independence, Pulaski, Hot Springs, Saline, Clark, Garland, Ne vada, Hampstead, Howard, Pike, lief ferson, Benton, Washington, LaFay- cite and Arkansas.
 The workers actively engaged in the organization and the propaganda are Rev. Frank Barrett, Rev. E. J. A. Mckinney, Rev. J. H. Bishop, Rev. J. A. Anderson, E. L. Salyers, w. w. Nelson (Pine Bluff, Rev. J. F. Jer- nigan (Marked Tree.) and l.. C. Ora g of Walnut Ridge. Others who are aiding the cause as much as their time will permit are Rev w. P. Richardson of Little Rock, Hon. Clay Sloan, commissioner of agriculture, Dr. J. w. Conger, President of Cen tral Baptist College, and Rev. 1. G. Mcclure of Argenta Sunday Rev Barrett spent at Stuttgart and Rev Anderson at Stamps, and the others in unworked territory. It is the pur- pose to have the state completely GOV cred by the first of aMrch.
 The petitions are being circulated in each county by laymen under di- rection of the central committee. There are spaces for 5S names on each petition, and as rapidly as they are filled they are sent to the head quarters in Little Rock, for record, and are filed by Dr. Barrett with the secretary of state. The first were filed by him last week.

 TO HE R SPEECH
DONACHEYAT MONTICELLO
LOCAL PAPER SAYS CROWD WAS LARGEST EVER ASSEM-
 BLED THERE.

(From the Monticello Montcellonian
 February 2.)
 One of the largest crowds that has assembled in Monticello for many days was at the courthouse on last Friday evening at 1:30 o'clock to hear Governor George W. Donaghey speak. The court hall was packed, and it is estimated that TOO or 800 people were present, and standing room was at a premium. In the au- dience were many ladies, who graced the occasion and honored the gover- nor With their presence.
 Pat Henry, Esq, chairman of the county Democratic central committee, acted as chairman and introduced the speakers.
 Judge ". l.. Moose of Morrilton, candidate for attorney general, who was in the city, was first introduced and made a short speech, announcing his candidacy.
 Then the governor was presented to the audience who, in masterly man. her, for two hours gave an account of his stewardship and outlined his future policy.
 He defended his vetoes of the va r,ous appropriation bills, scored the legislature for inefficiency and rascal ity, and especially was he severe on the ruling element in the senate, and said men were being sent to the leg islature that ought to be sent to the penitentiary. He also denounced the convict lease system and favored working cOnvicts on the public roads He charged that the liquor ring was dominant and in the saddle during the sitting of the last legislature, and nothing could be done that the liquor interests opposed. On the question of statewide prohibition the governor | favored submi to a vote of the people, but stated that if submitted he would individually vote for state wide prohibition. He defended his action in regard to the state capitol and discussed in detail his connection and work with that institution.
 The governor advocated the Tur- ner-Jacobson bill and argued that it's adoption would relieve the small property holder of taxes instead of raising his taxes by making the large property holder, the corporations and tax-dodgers bear their proportion of the taxes. He shovel that by virtue of the provisions of the bill that as tax assessments raised in value the rate of taxation decreased in propor- tional ratio, and that when then the property of the rich was assessed at it's full value, and lots of it not as- sessed at all, under the present law was properly assessed, as it would be under the new Turner-J acobson b:ll the tax of the small property holder would not be half as much as it is now.
 The governors speech was patient ly listened to and apparently we'll re- ceived by his audience, many of whin had stood on their feet during the two hours discourse Governor Don aghey has the faculty of presenting a proposition in such a clear, homely unbeclouded way, that he carries the conviction of earnestness and sheer ity in what he says.
