C. P. VAUGHAN, Sr.
Newark, Arkansas
ANNOUNCEMENT
mmmammmBmam
I desire to announce to the voters of lndependencei
and Stone counties that I am a candidate for the Derm
cratic nomination for the State Senate on the followij
platform:
First. When the United States Government api
priated eighty seven million dollars to build roads,
once started planning to build a government road thn>]
North Arkansas, and had a bill prepared which pas:
Legislature after a hard fight. The road has been surv^j
and complete plans, blue prints, estimates and pn
worth about Thirty Thousand Dollars, will be filed in
various counties of the district in a few days. This fi
been done at an expense to the district of less than one
thousand dollars. Sixty-seven thousand arid five hundred
dollars of Government money has been donated to the dis
trict and other donations will follow. On account of war
conditions, completion of the road wil be delayed but !
expect to ask the Legislature for convicts to help build it
as this will reduce the cost and not interfere with farm
labor. It will probably be necessary to pass remedial
legislation and to defeat any attempt to abolish the road.
If I was strong enough to establish the district when I
was not a member of the senate I certainly will be able
to protect and complete it if can be a member of the sen
ate. My opponents may be in favor of the road but it is
not a good idea to place a man’s job on weak shoulders.
When this road is completed it will be cheap and easy to
build other roads into it as we have the material with us.
SECOND. The iast legislature increased the appropriations for the Uni
versity, State Normals and Agricultural schools about three hundred thousand dol
lars and decreased the appropriations for the State Hospital for Nervous Diseases,
Confederate Soldiers home, Blind School and Deaf Mute Institute. 1 expect to
fight for the charitable institutions and be a little conservative with this class of
educational institutions as it costs as much to send a student to either of them as it
does to send to the religious schools at Arkadelphia, Batesville, Searcy and Conway
notwithstanding the state spends about one million dollars biennially on these schools
THIRD. New State offices have been increased so fast lately that unless a
halt is called, we wil! have to build State House No. 2 for them to office in.
We have twelve fish and game wardens including their employes, that cost
the taxpayers Seventy-five Thousand Dollars every two years, which should be
abolished and all this license business stopped. Make it unlawful to sell game fish
and certain kinds of game, but let people who want to catch fish or kill certain
game for their own use, do so without all this red tape and license.
We have ten Coal Oil Inspectors including their employes, that cost the State
Sixty Thousand Dollars every two years, and this should be abolished, as anyone
knows they only raise the price of coal oil sixty thousand dollars.
We have Sixty-five Thousand Dollars worth of Hotel Inspector, W?
_ .i * . , - ( m ■ ‘ ’ v.rjUSf*
Inspectors and Boiler inspectors, which is a nuisance and should be abolish
I am in favor of leaving this Two Hundred Thousand Dollars in the ,,eo -Us’
pockets, and let this company of useless office-holders go to work, y0 ;0 Vv
FOURTH. I voted for the establishment of the Arkansas Actuarial Bureau
which has done much good in encouraging standard construction and CIUIS,jv.
removal of hazardous appliances from buildings, but the rate-making denartin-ml
has been abused. I shall fight for a bill to make it the duty of th** Ari^ „ i
„ • • . • i, . , | ,i * r. 3 c -'rKansas lax

I have been late in announcing because I had to rebuild the telephone Itts
torn down by the sleet, start a crop and attend to other business I do r'oi 1 ^
lieve in having to run all winter and all spring. I have been in county mto
politics for some time and have made many strong political friends and a few
political enemies in Little Rock and elsewhere. 1 am o-oino- tn * ■ * ,

to make one more strong tight for me and pay no attention to false rumors start
ed by my political enemies as they would say anything or do anvlhimr inthef
efforts to destroy me. ■ r
I will not be able to devote much time to the race
but am sure my friends will look after my interests all
over the district.
Respectfully submitted,
