Smith object to more and better

Smith object to more and better roads?
 Governor Brough went with ArKan- sas editors to Minneapolis and his speech landed for Arkansas the an- torial Association. The editors from all over the United States are con- ing and will tour the state. Does Judge Smith believe the advertising these men will give Arkansas will for ever damn our commonwealth? Does he believe that Arkansas lost more by Gov. Brough's absence from the state for several days, than it will gain by the lasting advertising to be given without cost by the editors?
 Gov Brough was largely instru- mental in bringing to Arkansas the annual convention of the American Bankers Association. He brought the Biennial Conference of Womans Clubs, the largest convention of them all, to Arkansas this year, the first time it was ever held in the South These two conventions will be held in Hot Springs, but Hot Springs is still part of Arkansas, Judge Smith, We suppose the advertising they will give the state will be harmful to the nth degree.
 Governor Brough was called upon to deliver the annual oration at the home lodge of Elks, No. 1, in New York City. This is the first time man outside of New York ever receiv- ed this honor The metropolitan pa pers contained editorials commenting this speech, and it was commented upon favorably by papers even on the Pacific coast.
 Governor Brough was largely in- strumental in bringing Camp Pike to Arkansas, and his trips to Washing ton have always resulted in some i'm mediate results for the state.
 Summing up Governor Brough,s trips. it would seem to us that they have been splended investment, and the more Judge Smith refers to them. the more votes he will make for Gov ernor Brough. The governor has not
 
 accomplished before he or any other governor ever saw the state, but he has removed the barriers that resi- dents of other states thought marked our state boundaries He has let down the gap for immigration to come pouring in.
 In conclusion let us state that Gov ernor Brough has made construc- tive governor. He has built up every where and torn down no place. He has pursued an excellent legislative policy and his administrative policies have been equally as good We do not contend that Governor Brough is perfect, for he has made mistakes, but to err is human. If he never made mistake he probably would be a dangerous man in office. We are glad that Governor Brough can recite poetry and make speeches. The man without a heart sees nothing in poet ry, and the heartless men will proba- bly, vote against Governor Brough. His speeches have opened the eyes of the world, and while there are many who do not enthuse over them, We can put aside personal prejudice for the great general good they have accomplished.
 We do not expect any Smith ad- vertising in this campaign, and we would feel somewhat as if we were getting goods under false pretenses if we took it. Governor Brough is sure to be re-nominated by a vote that will be surprising even to Judge Smith. He'll need his money when the campaign is over, but if he lis tens to the man who is always against the government, he will have but little of it. Judge Smith is not going to find this campaign so satis- flying as his last one. He was the buffer in a three man race in 1916, but he will be the sure enough sec ond man in this contest, if it can be dignified by that term.
 If anyone now has a doubt as to how The Pulaskian stands, we have consumed a considerable amount of space that might have been applied to the doings of Greasy Valley or Brushy Island But, if there is any thing we can do to refute aspersions cast at Dr. Brough we will be found right on the job.
