Arkansas Governor George Washington Donaghey (1856-1937) and William
Jennings Bryan (1860-1925) traveled around Arkansas via a special train in
September 1910, speaking for the adoption of the proposed Initiative and
Referendum amendment to the Arkansas state constitution. The five-day trip,
which began Tuesday, September 6, and ended September 10, covered 1,750
miles and included fifty-five speeches. Donaghey and Bryan's efforts were
successful. The Initiative and Referendum, or Amendment 10, passed 92,781
to 38,648, more than enough to meet the majority of 75,289.
