forgotten, and was left hang

the fact that this big ham re

for the honesty of the people of
Newark.

and then develop into a won
derful success, and i want to
say here that without the news
papers of Arkansas the move
ment would have failed ignom
iniously and failed in spite of
the fact that some of our
strong men were giving the
best they had in them to make
it a success. This movement,
to which the state owes so
much and which owes so
much to the press, is the Bet
ter Farming Campaign, which
has been under way in Arkan
sas since this war came to the
world.”
The article reviews the work
performed during the Arkansas
Profitable Farming Campaign,
the methods of which have
served as a model for other
states.
After outlining some of the
results the writer concludes:
“That is what the press has
done for the development of
Arkansas. That’s why I am for
the newspapers. That’s why I
realize that they are the great
est agency for good we have.”

I desire to announce to the voters of Independence
and Stone counties t‘nat I am a candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for the State Senate on the following
platform:
First. When the United States Government appro
priated eighty seven miliion dollars to build oadsilat
once started planning to build a government road through
North Arkansas, and had a bill prepared which passejd he
Legislature after a hard fight. The road has been surveyed
and complete plans, blue prints, estimates and profile,
worth about Thirty Thousand Dollars, will be filed in the
various counties of the district in a few days. This has
been done at an expense to the district of less than one
thousand dollars. Sixty-seven thousand and five hi acred
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 I
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 last 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. I 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 will 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 Inspectors, Warehouse
Inspectors and Boiler Inspectors, which is a nuisance and should be abolished.
, I am in favor of leaving this Two Hundred Thousand Dollars in the peoples’
pockets, and let this company of useless office-holders go to work, go to war, or else.
FOURTH. I voted for the establishment of the Arkansas Actuarial Bureau
which has done much good in encouraging standard construction and causing the
removal of hazardous appliances irom buildings, but the rate-making department
has been abused. I shall fight for a bill to make it the duty of the Arkansas Tax
Commission to review all rates made by this Bureau and reduce those that are
too high.
I have been late in announcing because I had to rebuild the telephone lines
torn down by the sleet, start a crop and attend to other business. 1 do not be
lieve in having to run all winter and all spring. I have been in county and state
politics for some time and have made many strong political friends and a few
political enemies in little Rock and elsewhere. I am going to ask my friends
to make one more strong fight for me and pay no attention to false rumors start
ed by my political enemies as they would say anything or do anything in their
efforts to destroy me.
