What HODGES SAYS OF BROUGH
and MACHINE POLITICS

I
uary 10D
The inconsistency of DR.. Brough s
pretended adherence of machine
politics is plain to those who are IA
miliar with his record. Those who
know of his political connections
treat his remarks as absurd. But it
may be there are many people who
do not know that every political
move Brough ever made has been
for machine politics.
Therefore. lest We forget" let
me remind you OF a few things show
/ ing his willingness TO become part
of machine and to make political
deals when he thought it was to his
interest to do So
During the campaign of 1912 Joe
It. Robinson represented that he
was the Moses that could lead the
state out of the wilderness of fl
Inanoial distress and bring about
peace and prosperity. read and
heard his speeches. He made such
positive statements of what he could
do if elected governor, ard how aw-
| fully bad everything would be if he
was not elected. that majority of
the people were persuaded unless the
state had the benefit of his ability
for at least enc term as governor
poor old Arkansas would be lost be
/ You'd resurrection. We elected him
| by a large majority and felt secure
with the assurance that Our Joe"
would be at the helm But before
/ he was sworn in as governor he be-

oa9d his duties at the university and
came to Little Rock and served as
one OF Robiason's supporters in this
contest OF the ring" against the
people. The people wanted Robinson
10 serve his term out as governor,
which was evidenced by thousands
of petitions from people all over the
state They did not want him to
abandon an office to which he had
just been elected. They did not
want the turmoil of special pri
mary and the expense of a special
election. Brough knew this-every
body knew it-but Brough and Rob

uneXpired term. He said il a speech
at Camden a short time ago that he
quit the race because he made a
trade with Governor Hays whereby it
was agreed that he would quit and
support Hays ON the condition that
Hays would support him this time.
What do you think of this for a
man who now poses as the special
enemy Of political machines and of
political trades?
Who composes the machine, any
way, that Brough contends is such
a menace to good government?
Robinson has been organizing the
federal officers for Brough. The Rob

John Ringing, who has been here

will remain in Ardmore for possibly
sixty days with the exception that
he will be absent during that period
for a couple of days at a time.
81 am loyal to Ardmore," said Mr..
Ringing. This city began TO build
when ! came here and it seems that
the O.. n. NJ. & p. gave the city its
first real touch of life. Since that
time it has been going forward by
leaps and bounds and within two years
from now your population will have
doubled. You people who stay here
all the time do not see what you
are doing and cannot realize the pro
gress that you are making. But the
eyes Of many investors are on this
city. they are coming here by the
score and by the hundred, and your
people had as well to make the foun-
dations broad and strong because you
are going to have a city"
Mr Ringling's face grew bright
when he was speaking OF Ardmore,
and his voice grew firmer when he
said: = am willing to make invest
ments that | know Will be a sacrifice
to keep this city growing. am with
you, and If we all work together there
will be no such word as fail
Mr. Ringing is making a visit here
OF unusual length for a man os his
vast business affairs. 1t is probable
that before he goes away some i'm
portanf announcements will be made,
and when his plans have matured it
is reasonably certain that they will
call for just such things as Ardmore
will want.
