DR. BROUGH GIVEN
BIG WELCOME HOME
Citizens of Fayetteville Give
Gubernatorial Nominee Roy
al Reception on Return home
Fayetteville, April 1.—De
spite a driving rain, Dr. C. H.
Brough, Democratic nominee
lor governor, was given a rous
ing reception when he and Mrs.
Brough arrived fromLittleRock
this afternoon.
Fully 1,000 persons met Dr.
and Mrs. Brough at the Frisco
station and formed a parade
which proceeded to the court
house,where Dr. Brough spoke.
At least 500 more peoplejoined
the crowd at the courthouse.
State Senator B. H. Great
house, who has just been nom- -
inated for a second term, and
who put in most of the time he
was on the stump in advocat
ing Dr. Brough’s candidacy,
made a short but eloquent ad
dress of welcome. Senator
Greathouse was frequently ap
plauded. He said that Dr.
Brough is the first man from
Washington county to be gov
ernor since the election of Ar
chibald Yell in 1840. He held
up Governor Yell as a model.
Prolonged cheering was ac
corded Dr. Brough when he de
clared that he would do what
he could do to bettereducation
al and agricultural conditions t
during his administration. He
declared himself a good roads
booster and said that he favors
working the state convicts on
the roads. He announced his
intention of working for the
enactment of a law to insure
honest elections, a law,he said,
that would recognize the Dem
ocratic unit in townships aswell
as in the county and state.
He thanked Fayetteville and
Washington countyforthe great
majorities given him.
"I hold no malice toward
either of my opponents,” said
Dr. Brough. “They are both
better men than many give
them credit for being. I hold
no malice toward any of the
most ardent supportersofeither
of my opponents. All men are ,
entitled to their political prefe
ences and should fully exercise
their influence i n whatever
manner they conceive to be
right. I am justly proud of the I
victory of the forces for which
I was the leader in this fight, j
1 shall never forget the loyal
support of my friends and I
shall always strive in my pub
lic service to do that which is
for the best interest of the en
tire state of Arkansas.”

MAY AT1EMPT TO
REPEAL LIQUOR LAW
Large Vote Given Smith En
courages Movement For Re
peal of Prohibition Law.
Little Rock, Apr. 2.—Now
that the Democratic state pri
mary is an event of the past,
the attention of the voters of
the state will be directed to the
initiation of several important
measures to be submitted at the
-oming November eletion,chief
among which is the proposed
act providing for a new pri
mary election law.
Petitions seeking to initiate
his measure will be placed in
circulation at once by former
Congressman S. Brundidge of
Searcy, who, with other promi
aent Democrats, is at the head
af the movement to give Ark
ansas a primary election law
hat will make it impossible to
defeat the will of the people at
future primaries in this state.
It is reliably reported that
measures seeking to repeal sev
eral of the drastic anti-railroad
laws passed by the last two or
three Legislatures will also be
iniated in the comingstate elec
tion. There is also some talk of
submitting a bill to repeal the
state-wide prohibition law.
The large vote cast forjudge
L. 'C. Smith in the recent pri
mary has encouraged the local
option people to such an extent
that they will make every ef
fort to initiate the repeal ofthe
prohibition act passed by the
last legislature.
Petitions seeking to initiate
statutory provisions must be
placed in circulation during the
next few weeks, in order to
have them on file in the secre
tary of state’s office in time for
certification to the various
county election boards.
Senator Edmonson, while in
Little Rock a few days ago,
stated that he would very likely
head a movement to secure the
repeal of act No. 3, known as
the publicity act, which was
ratified by the voters two years
ago.
