To The Arkansas Travelers.
The Arkansas Travelers’ Asso
ciation will convene in Hot
Springs June 16-17, and it is
hoped we will have the largest
attendance of the Travelers in
the history of the Association.
Fellow Travelers, if you are
not now a member, you should
become one, and thus become a
great booster for Arkansas. For
you to be a member, means a
greater success for the organiza
tion, and a better time in store
for YOU. Be there and let’s
take the opportunity of spending
a few days in the greatest
HEALTH RESORT in the
WORLD—right here in Arkan
sas, and give the good people of
Hot Springs an opportunity,
which has been a longing desire,
to show the traveling boys a good
time.
You will find good people there,
friends there; hospitality there,
a good time in store for you and
your wife, sweetheart, and
friends in general.
. We expect to enroll as mem
bers of the Arkansas Travelers’
Association more than fifteen
hundred traveling men, and best
of all, let’s show to the other
states that Arkansas is always
first in everything and never
failing in anything. We hope to
meet the heads of the manufac
turing concerns in Arkansas,
wholesale houses, railroads,
working organizations, and in
fact, every body who is interest
ed in the upbuilding of Arkansas.
.Levs nave me greatest meeting
in the history of our organization.
MEET ME THERE AND I
WILL MEET YOU THERE!
Yours very sincerely,
Tom J. Terral,
Democratic Nominee for Secre
tary of State, and an Ex-Arkan
sas Traveler.

fifteen “jitneys” operating in

State Convention.
It is expected that there will
be over 5,000 delegates and visi
tors in attendance upon the Dem
ocratic State Convention, which
will meet in the municipal audi
torium in Little Rock May 3l for
a three days’ session. It is gen
erally conceded that the support
ers of Dr. Brough will control
the organization from start to
finish.
There is every reason to believe
that the following slate will be
put through without serious op
position: Temporary chairman,
Vol Walker, Fayetteville; perma
nent chairman, J. D. Head, Tex
arkana; secretary, A. H. Rowell,
Pine Bluff: chairman state cen
tral committee. Joe House, Jr.,
Little Rock; secretary state cen
tral committee, C. C. Calvert,
Ft. Smith. \
It is more than probable that
the delegates to the national con
vention will be instructed to vote
for Thos. R. Marshall for Vice
President, although Gov. Elliott
W. Major of Missouri has quite
a following, who may endeavor
to block all instructions.

one million three hundred thousand Ford cars
in use today, and that reason is based on the
matchless service and economy of Ford cars.
University service is the most conclusive

reason Buy today—Touring Car $440; Run
