CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR
AT ARKADELPHIA.
Sentiment of Crowd Strongly Anti
Davis—Wood and Vandeventer
Well Received.
Arkadelphia, August 24.—The three
candidates for governor spoke here
this afternoon at the court house be
fore a large audienc^prepreseutative
of Clark county’s citizenship. Judge
Carroll D. Wood was given a cordial
reception on his arrival at 9 a. m. He
v\jas escorted from the depot to the
city by a large number of Clark coun
ty citizens, the procession being four
blocks in length. Gov. Davis and Mr.
Vandeventer came in on the same
train. There were twenty-five or
thirty vehicles in the Wood and Van
deventer procession and two or three
in the Davis column. The sentiment
of the crowd was strongly anti-Davis.
Clark county circuit court opened
here this morning and Arkadelphia,
always attractive and interesting, was
impressive with the prevailing popu
lar interest shown in the presence of
the three men who seek the high
honor of being governor of Arkansas.
The farmers were noticeable in the
gathering of citizens attracted by the
announcement of the discussion.
At 1 o’clock p. m., the hour desig
nated for the speaking, the court
house was filled to its utmost capacity
with an audience which reflected
credit upon Clark county. Many
ladies were present and perfect de
corum prevailed. Circuit Judge J. D.
Conway acted as chairman and intro
duced the speakers.
Judge Wood led off in a speech of
one and a quarter hours and was
liberally applauded, as it was evident
from the start that the audience was
strongly anti-Davis. He defended
the supreme court in their decisions
and scored the governor unmercifully
for dereliction of duty in not follow
ing up his suit against the trusts after
the court had pointed out the way for
him to proceed. The governor’s par
don record was vigorously assailed,
and it was declared that he had set
aside the work of courts and juries in
turning loose murderers, “blind tiger”
men and criminal assailants. He ac
cused the governor of violating the
law that he had asked the legislature
to pass, governing pardons. Judge
Wood received a shower of handsome
boquets at his conclusion.
The governor next spoke for the
same length of time and was applaud
ed by some of the crowd who came
from adjoining counties. His speech
was almost entirely a defense of his
record while governor and attorney
general. He defended his pardon
record by saying that as long as
mothers came to him with petitions
an,^,tears he would continue to pardon
convicts. In regard to the Johnson
pardon he said he had oeen imposed
on, but -ave no particulars. In de
fending his clemency in a criminal
assault case, the governor evoked ex
pressions of disapprobation from the
audience, hisses being noticeable.
The governor alluded to the legisla
ture in no complimentary terms.
It was during this phase of the gov
ernor’s speech that there was a sud
den storm, which threw the speaker
into eclipse for about five minutes.
“Now, I’m going to show up that
man’s record (pointing to Hon. L. C.
Newberry, one of Clark county’s rep
resencauvesj, ana ms voie on iue
ways and means committee's re
port,” the governor had said, dramat
ically.
“All right, sir,” shouted Mr. New
berry.
For fully five minutes the crowd
shouted enthusiastically “Hurrah for
Newberry,” and the high esteem in
which Mr. Newberry is held by the
people of Clark county was given
substantial demonstration. Governor
Davis waited until the storm of en
thusiasm for Newberry had subsided.
Then he passed on to other subjects.
Mr. Vandeventer spoke next and
he assailed the governor’s record
without mercy. The attempted pur
chase of the Altheimer farm, the way
he treated Col. Monroe and the uses
of his contingent fund were dealt
with at length. His free pardon of
bling tiger men in particular was
dwelt on. Mr. Vandeventer related
I how he and Judge Wood were re
j ceived by the large crowd of law
abiding people at the depot, while
the governor was welcomed by three
or four, one of whom was a man who
had been convicted and fined twice
in this county for the illegal sale of
whisky. Another was one who had
stood trial for perjury and was white
capped and lied from his home and
came here for protection.
Mr. Vandeventer said he had heard
the governor was going to whip him.
He said: “I’m too little to fight and
too short-legged to run.” All he
asked of him, he said, was that he
would not bit him in the back. The
governor seemed very nervous and |
would answer none of the questions.
Mr. Vandeventer received a hand
some boquet.
Judge Wood responded at the close,
in which he scored the governor nard,
closing with a song on the governor
which the latter would not stay to
hear.
Three thousand people were here
from all parts of the county.
NECROLOGICAL.
MRS. SAVANNAH JONES.
Mrs. Savannah Jones, aged 67 years,
died Monday afternoon about live
o’clock at the home of her only child
and daughter, Mrs. Sue Whitworth,
of Searcy, and arrangements have
been made for bringing her remains
to Jacksonport on the noon train
Wednesday. The funeral will be
preached there in the old Methodist
church and final interment will be ill
the Robinson graveyard.
The deceased was the wife of the
late Dr. J. W. Jones, who practiced
medicine in Jacksonport and Jackson
county for thirty years and was the
brother of Wm. R. Jones of Mary
ville, Mo.
The deceased was born and raised
in Independence county and held a
high position in the love and esteem
of our oldest settlers, who knew and
recognized the sweet graces of her
strong Christian character. To those
who mourn is extended the sympathy
of friends.
MRS. LOTTIE ROBERTSON.
Mrs. Lottie Gaus Robertson, aged
08 years, died suddenly about 3:30
o’clock Monday afternoon from an
affection of the heart at the home of
Judge J. W. Phillips. She contracted
a severe cold about a week ago upon
her return from Batesville, but her
condition was not regarded as alarm
ing in the least.
• Before daybreak Monday the de
ceased was taken quite violently ill,
but even then her symptoms promised
nothing critical and her demise came
as a shock to the community.
Mrs. Robertson was born in New
England and after receiving an edu
cation became a school teacher After
moving to Kentucky she was married
and during the civil strife came with
her husband to Arkansas. They lo
cated in Jackson county and Jackson
port and Newport have been her
home successively for forty years.
The deceased was a member of the
Methodist church and a very earnest
Christian, who evidenced her faith in
many good works. As a mother she
was true to her sacred trust in the ex
ample of her own life and her well
rounded character was a powerful
influence for good even upon those
without the pale of family ties.
The deceased leaves three children,
Mr. R. T. Robertson, Mesdames J. W.
Phillips and H. E. Cobb, all of New
port, who have in their sorrow a
meed of consolation in the smypathy
from friends.
DRY OR WET?
Texarkana, Aug. 24.—The prohibi
tionists of the Texas side had a grand
rally and open-air meeting Saturday
night. About 2,000 people were pres
ent. Rev. Lumly of New Boston
spoke on “Prohibition From a Bible
I Standpoint,” and was followed by
County Attorney Horace W. Vaughan,
wno was tne principal speaker oi me
evening. All the addresses were well
received.
When the “prohis” were through
the “antis” requested the use of the
platform for an opportunity to an
swer the “prohi” argument, but this
w'as refused. One of the speakers in
the course of his remarks was inter
rupted by a newspaper man, and a
sharp, angry colloquy took place be
tween them. Considerable bitterness
has already been engendered and it is
likely this will get worse as the cam
paign progresses. Thursday, August
27, is the day set for the election.
