DONACHEY SHOWS
NO BITTERNESS
In Statement Conceding Election of
Robinson Governor Displays Mag
nanimity in Defeat-Credits
Defeat TO Liquor.

Little Rock, March 29.-In con-
ceding the nomination of Joe I,
Robinson for governor, a majority
which he believes official returns
will reduce. Gov. Donaghey issued
a statement last night in which he
said:
"Since the opening hours of the
last legislature there has never
been a time when | could have
creditably and conscientiously
withdrawn from the fight for a
better condition of the states af-
fairs. Attacks had been made on
me before, but at this time they
were renewed by more solidly or
gained and more determined op-
position. This opposition was COM.
posed of men outside, as well as in.
side the legislature. They were bit
ter in their denunciation of every
effort that | made for the relief Of
the states necessity.
THE conduct of the legislature is
well known to all. It's closing hou,s
scored defeat of practically every
measure for the best interests of
the people. The states financial
condition was materially worsted in
stead of helped. In all instances,
when the state was set back the
cause was charged to me and her
aided with loud acclaim. The things
that | wanted to do, and was elect
ed to do, apparently were purpose
ly defeated. As l saw it then, there
was nothing for me to do but be-
come candidate for reelection.
II announced ON a platform of
principles which then believed
and still believe, to be for the best
interests of the people. Chief
among these were the Turner-Ja-
cobson bill for the reform of our
taxing system, and the expulsion of
the whisky machine from the leg
islative halls Of the state. These
measures were the dominating is
sues. The opposition has made its
whole fight on them. OF course,
other objections were alleged of my
candidacy, and the third term
proposition undoubtedly caused
many votes to be cast against me.
But all else was merely political
garnishing to give relish to the real
meat.
Il have made the fight at a great
personal sacrifice, but | have not a
single regret TO offer. Under the
same conditions | would again pur-
sue the same course. | had advo-

cation OF my opposition. | expected

legislature, and they were forced to
fight me in order to check any
move on the part of the people for

HUNGER DRIVES ALLEN
in FROM THE BUSHES
Starved and Wretched, One of the
Murderers of Virginia Court
Surrenders--Vivid Story of
the Shooting.

Hillsville, No. March 29.-This
entire section today anxiously
awaited news from the North Caro-
lima border, expecting to hear at
any moment that what is left Of the
Allen gang had been taken.
The capture late yesterday of
Claude Swenson Allen, son of Floyd
and nephew of Sidna Allen, revived
the hope that the Allen outlaws
would be landed safely behind the
bars. With the detectives promis-
ing captures day after day without
results, interest had begun to lag
and many people believed the fugi-
tives had made their way out of
the mountains, leaving their pur-
suers to chase shadows.
Young Aliens starved and
wretched condition when he walked
out of the bushes and gave himself
up, exploded the idea that the out
lawed mountaineers were in COM
munication with friends who sup
piled them with food as we'll as
with information concerning the
movements Of the posses. The boy
declared that he had been living on
bread and water, and he looked it.
Sidna and Fred Allen and Wes-
ley Edwards are supposed to be in
the immediate vicinity of where
Claude was taken. The section is
surrounded by the detectives UNI
der Thomas Felts.
Describes the SHOOTING.
In the presence of detective last
night young Allen described his
own part in the court house trag-
edy, admitting that he had seen
Sidna Allen shoot and that he him
self had aimed for Clerk Goad's
head four times. He told a graphic
story of the assassination.
Il don't know who started the
shooting" said Allen, "but after it
began | shot four times at Clerk
Goad and aimed for his head every
time. | saw Uncle Sidna shoot at
somebody, but don't know who. AZ
ter the shooting | went outside ard
saw Uncle Sidna on the ground
shooting at Goad, so / shot at him
too. Ny brother Victor called to
me to stop, but / had shot all my
cartridges. Then we all went
away"

New York, March 27.-The Taft
forces achieved an overwhelming
victory over Col. Roosevelt in the
primaries yesterday, carrying every
district the Taft people claimed.
The final vote shows that of the
30 delegates named, 80 are for Taft.
The length Of the ballot created
great confusion, resulting in charg-
es of fraud from the Roosevelt fac
ton.

Rooserelrs New Hampshire Hopes

Concord, n. H., March 27.-The
Republican state committee meets
here today and will probably have
one of the stormiest sessions in its
history. Governor Bass and his
associate progressive Republicans
who have been stumping the state
in the interest of the candidacy Of
Col. Roosevelt, will make a vigorous
fight for the adoption of a presi-
Dental primary by the Republican
state committee.
With primary in force, the
Roosevelt people would have some
chance of getting some delegates
from New Hampshire. Under the
old convention system they would
have a poor chance, as it is claimed
that nine-tenths of the active po-
litical leaders among the Republic
cans of New Hampshire are work
ing for the denomination of Taft.
