FUNDS FOR DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN
Chairman of Congressional Com
mittee Asks For $1 Contri
bution From Democrats
The .Journal is in receipt of the
following letter from Jas. M.
(Higgs, of Washington, D. C.,
chairman of the Democratic con
gressional campaign committee,
with a request that the same be
published.
“To all Democratic Voters:
“If there ever was a time in the
history of the Democratic party
for the manifestation of loyalty
and patriotism on the part of its
members, it is right now.
“If we are to win a victory and
elect a President two years hence,
we must tirst electa House of Rep
resentatives this fall. A Demo
cratic House can and will investi
gate every department of the Gov
ernment. With all of them hon
eycombed by “graft,’’ the edges:
of which only have been touched j
by recent exposure and prosecu
tions, there will be a revelation of
rottenness that will astound the
country and create a demand for a
I)emocratic administration to clean
the Government workshop.
“To win the House we need
money to defray legitimate ex
penses and get out our vote. Wei
have no protected monopolies from
which to draw to till our coders,
as they do those of the Republican
party. We must, therefore, ap
peal to loyal Democrats for contri
butions.
“Will you send us $1.00 at once,
and in return for this we will send
you copies of our campaign litera
ture issued by the committee.
You will have the thanks of the
entire Democratic party for your
favorable response to our request.
“Address all remittances to ,T.
M. Griggs, Chairman, Munsey
Building, Washington, D. C.”

MR. RANEY ISSUES A STATEMENT
Does Not Think the Action of
"King Ludwig" is Binding
Upon Democrats
Am stated exclusively in The
Journal last week, Hon. T. J. Ka
ney has withdrawn from the sena
torial contest.
The action of Secretary of State
Ludwig in assuming authority to
place Mr. Hinkle on the ticket as
the Democratic nominee was Mr.
Haney’s reason for quitting the
race. His formal statement of
withdrawal follows:
“To the Voters of the Sixth Sen
atorial District, and My Friends
Elsewhere:
“I desire to state that 1 have
withdrawn from the race for the
state senate. According to the
poll books as sworn to by the
judges and clerks, I received 1225
votes, \V. W. Edmondson received
1221 votes and John A. Hinkle
received 11S7 votes. This vote
was changed by recount, in which
I participated, which was secured
by political tricksters. I carried
the case to the chancery court and
was defeated and appealed to the
supreme court of the state, which
declared that the courts had no
jurisdiction in the case and that it
should be settled in the party.
The senatorial convention being
the highest political power in the
district, had a meeting in which it
I stated that no one was nominated,
leaving all three of us to make the
race on an equal basis, which I be
lieve is the sentiment of SO per
cent of the voters of my district.
Mr. Kdmondson and myself pre
pared a petitiou to have our names
put on the ticket as independent
Democrats, however, the secretary
of state, O. C. Ludwig, saw tit to
take upon himself the authority to
declare the nominee for the Sixth
senatorial district and accordingly
certified to the election commis
sinners. 1 do not consider that I
would have been considered a bolt
er had I run independent, accord
ing to the instructions of the con
vention, as 1 feel that the.y had
more authority to say what was
right than did the secretary of
state. I am of the opinion that he
acted as he did through prejudice
to me on account of things that
i have passed, and which 1 will ex
plain later if the opportunity pre
sents itself.
‘‘The Republicans are laughing
about the situation and claiming
that they will elect their man. If
I had a fair show I would continue
in the race, but since the election
commissioners are all for Hinkle
and the chances are that all the
election judges in Independence
county will be for Hinkle, I do
not think I could make a fair
| showing. By all three of us run
ning I feel that the Republican
i candidate would be elected. Mr.
Cole is a personal friend of mine,
but he and I are as far apart po
litically, as the Atlantic is from
the Pacific. I do not withdraw
from the race in the interest of
any candidate, but think it is best
for myself and the Democratic
party in general. I want to plain
ly state here, though, that Hinkle!
received the smallest number of
votes of any candidate in the pri
tnary and that 1 do not think an a
Democrat is under obligations to
vote for him on account of King
Ludwig.
“1 do not know that I will be
heard from later in regard to this
race, and will say that 1 have my
can full of politics for the present,
but will not say that 1 am out of
politics. I desire to wash my hands
of the entire campaign and con
sider the incident closed so far as 1
am concerned.
“Yours for harmony of the
Democratic party, and thanking
my friends for past favors, 1 re- 1
main.
Yours very respectfully,
T. «J. Ranky. |
WIFE IS IMPLICATED IN MURDER
Confession of Youth who Killed
John Hammond Implicates
the Dead Man's Wife
Alicia, Aug. 18.—Herbert Bak
i er, 18 years old, has made confes- i
sion of the killing of John W.
Hammond, a farmer who was j
found dead in his field near here
several days ago.
For several days the crime baf
fled the authorities, when they ar
rested young baker, who had been
employed by Hammond three
years. When questioned closely
he made statements conflicting
with the story told by Mrs. Ham
mond, widow of the dead man.
After being sweated he said
he would make a clean breast
of the affair and told all about 11*.■
commission of the crime.
Baker’s preliminary trial was
held in Walnut Ridge yesterday.
He pleaded guilty to the charge
of murder, but implicated the wife
of the murdered man. He declar
ed that she furnished the gun with
which he did the killing and that
the crime had been talked of be
tween them for some time.
According to Baker’s confession,
he and Hammond were going to a
watermelon patch out in the field,
when Baker dropped behind, and,
placing a revolver near Ham
mond's back, tired. The ball en
tered near the spinal column, rang
ing to the heart, killing him in
stantly, but to be sure Hammond
was dead, Baker placed his hand
on Hammond’s heart and kept it
there nearly an hour. He then
returned to the house, and Mrs.
Hammond hid the gun.
Baker was committed to jail at
Walnut Ridge to await the action
of the grand jury. Mrs. Ham
mond was arrested and her trial
set for Monday.
FOLLOWED DIRECTIONS
.Judge (sternly): ‘'Did you steal
that chicken, Sambo?”
Sambo: “Yes, I rook dat chick
en. It was de cook book tol’ me

‘ Fake one chicken.’ It don't say,
‘buy one chicken,’ ‘beg one chick
en,’ or ‘borrow one chicken,’ it
say, ‘Take one chicken,’ and it
don't tell you whose chicken to
take; so I took de fust chicken I
could lay my hands on. I follered
