(Continued from page 1)
have been in power, have
been trying to get us involved
in the Mexican and European
| war; but thanks to Woodrow
! Wilson and a Democratic con
I gress, we have saved the coun
try from such a catastrophe,”
he said.
Mr. Oldfield grew eloquent
in dealing at length upon the
achievements of the Democrat
ic party, apt! declared that no
party has ever made such a
glorious record in so short a
time.
He will leave Saturday night
for Washington, he said, where
his duties as a member of the
Ways and Means Committee
require him to meet his col
leagues for the purpose of mak
ing up all the committees ofthe
I House. The Speaker formerly
had this great power, but this
was taken from the Speaker’s
hands and placed in the hands
j of the Ways and Means Com
mittee.
Mr. Oldfield is the third
nu mber of Congress from Ark
ian ■ is lo bo placed on (his o:n
imittee, which is the greatest
land most powerful of all the
! committees of the House.
Senator James K.Jones,when
a member of the House in 1886.
| was a member of this commit
tee. Clifton R. Breckenridge
1 was also a member of this com
mittee in 1889. and Mr. Old
tie Id was elected to mem he r
|ship on the committee in 1915,
more than a quarter of a c >n
tury later.
Mr. Oldfield showed where
he had served in congress onh
a little more than six years,
while his predecessor served 12
!years in congress from this dis
trict. He was frequently inter
rupted by prolonged and en
thusiastic applause, and if the
manner in which hisspeechwas
receved here is any indication
I of the general sentiment of the
|people of the district, Mr. Old
ifield is assured of re-election
I by the greatest majority ever
g ven any man in the entire his
tory of the district.

BURT ARNOLD FOR
TAX COLLECTOR
The announcement of Burt
Arnold as a candidate for re
election as tax collector ap
pears in today’s paper.
There are a few men in In
dependence county better
known than Burt Arnold, and
none who have had more loyal
friends.
Mr. Arnold was born and
reared in Newark, and it would
be like trying to introduce a
boy to his mother for The Jour
nal to attempt to tell our folks
anything, either good or bad,
about Burt Arnold.
It was here that he first saw
1he light of day,and it was here
on the sun-kissed hdls, close to
nature, that he grew to man
hood, and there is not a one of
the older citizens of this com
munity but who Knows his me
like an open book.
During the past ten ortwelve
years he has served the people
in various official capacities,
and that his efforts to render
the public good sendee ar> ap
proved by the people is n ply
proven by the fact that he he
never been defeated for any
position to which he has asked
jthe people to elect him.
