A call to unity from Arkansas, urging Republicans to unite for honest, responsible government. This historical appeal, delivered by Thomas Boles in 1904, argues that duty and courage are needed to strengthen state leadership and public trust. It frames politics as service to Arkansas’s future, not personal or factional gain.
Rooted in the premise that citizens must actively participate in elections and policy, the text champions reform ideas like the referendum and initiative. It also emphasizes education funding, fair treatment in governance, and the duty of every citizen to vote and engage in civic life. The author invites readers to view state politics as a common enterprise for all Arkansans—black and white alike.
Ideal for readers of American political history and civic reform, especially those interested in Arkansas’s regional political evolution and early 20th-century reform ideas.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a speech given in 1888 at a time when Arkansas, amidst a period of disenfranchisement, struggled with political corruption and inadequate state resources for its citizens. The author decries politicians' self-serving, partisan, and personal interests that superseded the welfare of the state, depriving its citizens of their rights. He insists that the power should revert to the people, the true rulers, through their right to vote and to participate in primaries and elections. The speech draws attention to specific issues, such as housing conditions for convicts and a lack of reform and industrial schools for minors, but the thrust of the speech advocates for the enforcement of state laws intended to protect all citizens and for the implementation of the referendum and initiative to ensure that the rule of the majority is respected.
