Mann visited the governor of Arkansas Daniel W. Jones, and conferred his drawings of his winning competition style for the MT State Capitol, that had not been designed. They were prevailed the walls of the recent Capitol to come up with interest in an exceedingly new building. The drawings’ attractiveness mitigated the passage of the bills for the new building, and conjointly role player attention to the designer. In 1899, Mann was chosen as designer by a seven-member commission that enclosed future governor Saint George W. Donaghey.
