CURRIED BAKERS FAVOR
McManus Letter and Other Charges
Deliberate Effort to Deceive
Voters, He Says.

Bringing out several new charges
and answering in detail statements
made by Senator Kirby in his opening
speech here, Congressman T. H. Car
! away this afternoon branded the en-
tire campaign plan of his opponent as
a deliberate attempt to m misrepresent
his own record. In describing the at
tacks made by Senator Kirby on his
record, Mr.. Caraway called them
false" absolute falsehood," and
"wilful and malicious falsehood" One
of his new charges was that Senator
Kirby, alone of all the senators and
representatives, asked the army 70 ex-
empt his clerk, Grady Hays, from Sc
lectlve draft. Grady Hays is the son
of former Gov. G. w. Hays, called
by Mr.. Caraway a political ally of the
senator
Failure to make a train connection
at Little Rock this morning forced
Mr.. Caraway to make the trip here
by car He spoke last night at Eagle
M'Jls and did not reach Little Rock in
time to make the train reaching hel e
at 9 o'clock, although it was held 80
minutes for him. He called friends
here by long distance when the con-
nection was missed, and his speech
this morning at the State Normal was
accordingly cancelled. 1t was /
O'Clock before Mr.. Caraway and his
party arrived His brother, E. L.
Caraway, and W. f. Spence of Clay
county made the trip from Little Rock
with him.
At the courthouse this afternoon,
Mr.. Caraway spoke to an audience
! filling the circuit court room. He was
introduced by R. E. Womack, who
! paid well worded tribute to Mr..
l Caraway as congressman and public
official with a record which justifies
the promotion which he asks of the
voters of Arkansas. Mr.. Caraway
spoke with vigor and vim, despite the
hardship of travel Friday night and
1 the tiresome and long drawn out
journey overland from Little Rock.
He took pains to expose what he
termed Senator kirby's deception in
tended for the farmers of the state.
IN which he charged that the senator
has made statements which are not as
stated in the Congressional Record. to
which he made frequent references.
OF the Smith amendment, which Sen
ator Kirby claimed raised cotton three
cents per pound and for which he
claimed credit, Mr. Caraway said that
Senator Kirby had so little informa-
ton on the subject that he called the
amendment a ten grade amendment,
when in reality it was five grade
| amendment, a statement which he said
the cotton buyers of Arkansas will
bear out. His speech was frequently
interrupted for applause.
Mr.. Caraway plans to speak tonight
at Greenbrier and then to return to
Conway in time to catch train to
Little Rock Sunday morning. The
conditions of the roads may cause his
speaking at Greenbrier to be can
celled

devised a new political hit and run"
play which permits him to speak pub
licly on one side of a question and
then vote the opposite, Mr.. Caraway
IN his speech today took up the re
cord of his opponent in great detail
to show its inconsistencies. The "hit
and run play, Mr. Caraway said, pla-
ces the senator so that he can point
to his speech to convince those think
ing that way, and then to his vote to
those holding the opposite views, as
suring him approval both ways The
McManus letter, which Senator Kirby
first produced in his opening speech
here, to prove a relation between Mr..
Caraway and the meat packers, was
also repudiated by the speaker as a
document which President Wilson,
Senator Kirby and every one else in
official Washington know to be spur
ious. False" "falsehood" and other
words to the same import were freely
used by the speaker in fastening upon
his opponent deliberate intent to
