DEMOCRATIC STATE
CONVENTION MAY 31
Nothing Left For it to do, How
ever, but to Formulate the
Party Platform.
The Democratic state con
vention will convene in Little
Rock Wednesday May 31. The
duties of the convention have
become largely perfunctory
since nominations and even na
tional delegates and commit
teemen have been left to thi
selection of the people.
The convention will declare
the nominations, will write j:
platform, and will elect chair
man, secretary and member.1
of the State Central Committee
It is also planned that the con
vention shall pass a strong
resolution endorsing Woodrov
Wilson for re-nomination.There
is a strong and growing senti
ment in favor of the en
dorsement of Gov. Elliot W
Major of Missouri for the Vice
Presielency.
And this brings up anothei
interesting point. What powei
has the convention to instruct
delegates elected by the peo
ple, and in no wise answerable
to the convention? It it held in
some quarters that the dele
gates must go uninstructed,and
that they cannot be required
even to vote as a unit, unless
they agree to do so.
The delegation that will re
present Arkansas at the Nation
Convention in St. Louis, June
14, consists of the following:
At large—W. V. Powell, W.
G. Hutton, W. H. Arnold, Jer
ry C. South.
District delegates—J. M.
Jackson, Peter A. Diesch. M.
M. Stuckey .Gustave Jones, V.
C. Bratton, R. R. Thompson,W.
R. Conway, Claude Thompson,
J. C. Ross, W. T. Wooldrudge,
W. V. Tompkins, and Geo. P.
George.
Tom Poe, of Little Rock, del
egate from the Fifth District, is
said by those who have investi
gated, to be the youngest del
egate ever elected to a National
convention. He is onlv 23 years
old.
TIME IS HERE FOR
A GENERAL CLEAN-UP
Springtime is here and it is
now worth while that we begin
a general clean up campaign.
All rubbish, trash and refuse
matter should be collected and
burned. Back lots should be
cleaned up,as well as the fronts,
for by so doing we will destroy
the breeding places of flies and
all germ bearing insects. Let’s
get busy now and make New
ark a real pretty and healthful
place in which to live. '
BIG DECREASE IN
OUTSTANDING DEBT
• More Than $300,000 Saved by
■ Present Administration Dur
ing the Past Year
Little Rock, Apr. ‘25.—There
■ has been a steady decrease for
■ the last three years in the float
■ ling indebtedness of the state,
■ as represented by the unre
. deemed outstanding warrants
. on the general revenue fund.
. When the system of daily bal
ance sheets was instituted by
. L. L. Coffman, then state audi
i tor, Oct. 14, 1913, the balance
. was $250,683.08. This was af
, ter the tax revenues for the
preceding year had all been
. collected and applied to the
r debts against the state.
r The amount outstanding on
, April 21, of each subsequent
year is shown in the following
statement:
April 21, 1914_$792,640.41
April 21, 1915_ 770,325.61
April 21, 1016_ 462,975.93
Practically nothing of the
1915 taxes have yet been paid
into the treasury. The payment
of this will soon begin, and be
tween now and August 15, ov
er a million dollars will be paid
in on that account. This will be
suficient to wipe out the defi
cit, pay the running expenses
in the meantime, which will be
approximately $400,000, and
leave a balance in the treasury
of nearly $200,000. Once again |
the state will be on a cash basis
and with wise management it
is believed that it can be kept
there. There is one item of ex
pense that will be almost whol
ly eliminated at the next ses
sion of the Legislature. The
session of 1915 was called upon *
to appropirate about $300,000 *
for deficiences and special fees. 1
These amounts will this time;1,;
be practically negligible. (

in This Coincidence l
- t;
An interesting- coincidence
has been found in the returns
for Attorney General. The vote j.
in the state was as follows:
Arbuekle, 69,796.
Rhoton, 69.119. ^
Arbuckle’s majority, 677.
The vote in Carroll county
was as follows: ,
Arbuekle, 1101. *
Rhoton, 424. ji
Arbuckle’s majority in coun
ty, 677.
Carrol county is the home of

HELP!
iimumytiiimimiimiii.
Help will be needed in this community
to work at the Canning Factory and gath
er tomatoes.
We lack only a few acres having suffi
cient tomatoes contracted for and can take
only a few more contracts. Better hurry
if you want in on a good thing.
Now let’s get busy with the planting
and cultivation. Be honest and give the
tomatoes the same attention you give cot
ton or any other crop and you will be
over whelmingly satisfied with results.
We have plants to furnish those who
have not arranged for plants or seed.

LOMEL SALIVATES
NO MAKES YOU
Acts like dynamite on a sluggisl
, liver and you lose a
day’s work.
There’s no reason why a person should
take sickening, salivating calomel wher
50 cents buys a large bottle of Dodson’;
Liver Tone—a perfect substitute for cal
omel.
It is a pleasant, vegetable liquid which
will start your liver just as surely as
calomel, but it doesn’t make you sick and
can not salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is per
fectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. It is
mercury and attacks your bones. Takt
a dose of nasty calomel today and you
I will feel weak, sick and nauseated to
morrow. Don’t lose a day’s work. Take
a spoonful of Dodson’s Liver Tone in
stead and yon will wake up feeling great.
So more biliousness, constipation, slug
gishness, headache, coated tongue or sour
stomach. Your druggist says if you
don’t find Dodson’s Liver Tone acts bet
ter than horrible calomel your money is
I waiting for you.
