any merit in the suggestion, the credit should go to him, since he had advanced the idea in his last biennial message.
 However, efter going into the matter thoroughly, he had become convinced that it is not necessary to borrow money for the general revenue fund. With the proper economy in all departments, he said, "and in all the state institu- tions, and as they are now being conducted, the general revenue fund will be on a cash basis after next July, and on it's feet to stay. As your governor I shall insist that all appropriations be made within the first thirty days of the legis- lative session, and I am going to make it point to work in such harmony with the general assem-
 bly,, and keep the members in such good humor that they will do their work promptly and not take up their time quarreiing with the gov ernor. l shall also insist that the legislature keep the appropriations within the incoming revenues dur ing the next two years, so that the governor will not be required to use the veto power I do not in tend to hamper the growth or pro- gress of any department or institu- tion, but 1 know the schools and in stitutions are doing nicely at this time on even less money than they used two years ago"
 He said that it would be his pol icy to encourage the growth and progress of all institutions, but should the general assembly ignore his insistent recommendation that the appropriations be kept within the revenues during the ensuing two years, he would certainly use the veto power, and see to it that lue Seu6ldt lcNtlluC ltlihAio Oh q cash basis. The general revenue for the two years from all sources will be about three million dollars, and the operating expenses approx Imately $2,5OO,000.
 Hence at the beginning of the next biennial period" said MT. Hodges, "the state will be operat- ng on a cash basis, and can afford 70 be more liberal, and assist more IT the growth of it's in ;titutions. We will have $500,000 more for the biennial period for general purposes than we have had Or the present two years, and here will be absolutely no necessi- i y whatever for the issuance of he interest-bearing notes or bonds, insisted upon by Dr. Brough and Banker McRae.

SYNOPSIS OF THE SPEECH.

- I
 Forrest City, Dec. 14.-(Special to The Press. )-Hon. Earle w Hodges, secretary of state. formal ly opened his campaign for gover- nor here this afternoon. He out lined his policies at some length, and devoted a great deal of atten- tion to the policies of his oppo- nents, Col. Thomas c. McRae and Dr. c. H. Trough.
 He declared that Dr. Brough is "tax-mad," and said he had heard it stated by some of his close friends at the university that he will spend S20,00O in his race for governor
 ''In his campaign speeches" said MT. Hodges, the doctor advocates special tax levy for the university, which means 8 direct raise in taxes, and also means that the university would virtually swim in the peo- ple's money In addition to this, he goes on record as favoring the is suance of interest bearing debt cer- tificates or bonds, and then follows this up by insisting upon the adop- tion of the constitutional amend ment to be submitted to the peo pie at the next general election, which would allow a possible in crease in the school tax of three million dollars per year, or six million dollars in the biennial per iod Hence it would be possible, should Dr. Brough be elected, for the people to be taxed, over and above their present heavy tax bur- den, at least one million dollars for the university another million for the interest-Dearing bonds, and at least twelve million dollars for school taxes, making the enormous total of fourteen million dollars dur ing his administration of four years"
 MT. Hodges called attention to the fact that both Dr. Brough and Col. McRae advocate the issuance of short term loan notes as a solu-I tion of the states financial prob lems. He said that if there were
