URGES PRIMARY REFORM
Griffithville, Aug. 31.—United
States Marshal A. J. Walls, chair
man of the Democratic State Cen
tral Committee, attacked the pri
mary bill drawn up by the com
mittee appointed by the last
Democratic state convention in
an address at a barbecue held
here today.
This drew a vigorous reply
from former Congressman Ste
phen Brundidge of Searcy, chair
man of the committee that draft
ed the bill, which was defeated
by the legislature.
Mr. Brundidge called attention
to the testimony in the trial of
the Hot Springs racing bill,
which, he said, proved that Mr.
Walls worked vigorously to de
feat the primary bill. He said
the bill would have prevented the
perpetration of fraud, such, as
he declared, marked the special
primary in the summer ot 1912,
when he was defeated for the
Democratic nomination by Gov
ernor Hays by a small majority.
He referred to his efforts to se
cure a hearing before the Demo
cratic State Central Committee,
of which Mr. Walls was chair
man, and declared that the ac
tion of the committee in that case
was “outrageous.’’ He said his
experience proved that fraud may
be perpetrated in a primary elec
tion and that if the supporters of
the candidate who profited by
the fraud are in a majority on
the State Central Committee, the
candidates who have suffered
have absolutely no redress. He
declared that if such a state of
affairs were allowed to continue,
the final result would be disaster
to the Democratic party in Ark
ansas. He said he intended to
tour the state speaking in behalf
of the primary election bill which
will be initiated.
This was in Mr. Brundidge’s
home county of White and he had
the crowd with him. He was
cheered vociferously from start
to finish.
About 1,500 attended the bar
becue, which was a most suc
cessful affair. Dr. Charles H.
Brough of Fayetteville delivered
an eloquent address and Con
gressman W. A. Oldfield of
Batesville spoke in behalf of his
candidacy for re-election. Mr.
Botts, county superintendent of
schools, spoke on educational
matters. Arthur Blankenship,
principal of the local schools, was
chairman of the meeting and in
troduced the speakers.—Gazette.
Mrs. H. E. Wood, who was

she has been away with friends
and relatives in Fulton, Ky. and
Union City, Tenn.
JEFFRIES TO JONESBORO
Jonesboro, Ark., Sept. 2.—The
“Aggies,” according to pre-sea
son forecast of gridiron experts,
will uphold the honor of north
eastern Arkansas upon the col
lege football fields, even more J
successfully than they have in1
the past. Captain Leonard Loon
ey and Coach E. W. Brannon are
| very optimistic over the pros
j pects for a winning team. With
such men as Foy Hammons, the
giant Little Rock boy, Frank
Williams, the Jonesboro husky,
James Skillern the Searcy youth,
Charley Whitaker, the speed mer
chant from Knobel and “Bill”
Allsopp, also of Little Rock,' all
veterans of last year’s.team, as a
nucleus, the Farmers should build
up a combination which bids ill
for their opponents.
Among the new men who will
undoubtedly make the team and
strengthen the Aggies’ squad are
Wade Jeffries of McCrory, Tom
my Harris of Little Rock, Harry
Mayo of Morrilton and Dock
Howington of Neshoba, Missis
sippi and Marked Tree, Arkansas.
These men have had considerable
football experience and are sure
to attend the Aggie school.
Howard Mozier, an hundred and
eighty pounds youngster and four
year veteran of Albuquerque, N.
M., high school team, now a res
ident of Craighead County has
also intimated that he might at
tend.
“Ollie” Tankersly, the Forrest
City lad, who starred on the Ag
gie second team last year will be
in school again this year and will
make a strong biri for a backfield
position upon the varsity eleven.
Tankersly is a husky youth who
hits the line hard and often. Os
car Sterling, a Jonesboro boy,
who was also a member of the
second squad promises to make
some of the heavier linemen work
hard for their jobs. What Ster
ling lacks in weight he makes up
in grit and aggressiveness.
Died: Mrs. Cras Buchanan died
Wednesday, Sept. 1, 1915, after
a confinement of two years at her
home in Augusta. She leaves an
husband, a daughter, Ruth, and
a son, Robert, and a host of
friends to mourn her loss.
Ross Mathis of Cotton Plant
made his first speech as a lawyer
this week when he spoke to a
jury at Cotton Plant in defense
of his client, John Webb, of Hun-j
ter, who was charged with mur- i
der in the first degree for having
killed Bevil Terrell. Some of our:
citizens who heard the young
gentleman lawyer state that he;
made an excellent talk to the
jury and that he is a good speak
er. Mr. Mathis is a partner of
Hon. Roy D. Campbell who also
defended Mr. Webb who was
cleared by the jury rendering a
verdict of not guilty.
