    DescriptionText of speech by Governor Jeff Davis in which he accounts for his stewardship in his first term as Governor and attacks his Republican opponent, Harry Myers. Black text printed on yellowed paper.

    Jefferson "Jeff" Davis was born in Rocky Comfort, Arkansas on May 6, 1862. Davis served as the twentieth Governor of Arkansas from 1901 to 1907. Although his administration was said to have "produced more politics than government," Davis succeeded in building a new state house and reforming the penal system. Davis passed away on January 3, 1913 in Little Rock, Arkansas.
