BRYAN’S OPINION OF
HON. W. A. OLDFIELD
Commends Loyalty and Wis
dom of Our Popular Repre
sentative in Congress.
The following editorial ap
peared in Bryan’ Commoner
just after the last election, and
shows the high esteem in which
Congressman Oldfield is held
by Mr. Bryan and otherleading
Democrats of the nation :
“Congressman Oldfield,from
the second Arkansas district
has been nomiated by an over
whelming majority. This is not
surprising as Mr. Oldfield iv
one of the aggressive, influen
tial young democrats of the
House. Ilis success is gratify
ing to his friends but there is a
much deeper significance at
tached to his sweeping major
ity. The contest in one sense
was a trial of the popularity of
the national democratic admin
istration. The acute issue of the
campaign was the wisdom of
the president in urging the
passage of legislaion providing
for the construction of a rail
way in Alaska. Congressman
Oldfield stood loyally by the
president in his Alaskan policy,
and voted for the Alaskan bill,
as he has stood by the president
with unshaken fidelity through
his entire program of progres
siveness and patriotic reform.
His opponent assailed his Alas
kan vote and attempted to use
it to defeat the congressman.
“Mr. Oldfield stood squarely
upon the democratic platfrom
adopted at Baltimore, as evi
denced by the following lan
guage: “Immediate action
should be taken by congress to
make available the vast and
valuable coal deposits of Alaska
under conditions that will be a
perfect guaranty against their
falling into the hands of mono
polizing corporations, associa
tions or interests.” This plank
of national platform was ap
proved by President Wilson in
his message of December last
as the following quotation wlil
demonstrate: “A duty faces us
with regard to Alaska which
seems to me very pressing and
very imperative; perhaps I
should say a double duty, for
it concerns both the political
and a material devolopment of
the territory, and Alaska as a
store house should be unlocked.
One key to it is a system of rail
ways. These the government
should itself build and adminis
ter and the ports and terminals
it should itself control in the
interest of all who wish to use
them for its service and the de
velopment of the country and
its people.’’The policy also had
the hearty approval of the sec
retary of the interior who is pe
culiarly charged with the de
velopment and destiny of the
splendid Alaskan region. In
his letter to Senator Pittman,
Secretary Lane said: “My opin
ion is requested as to senate
bills 18 and 133. These meas
ures, in a word, provide for the
construction by the national
government of a railway sys
tem in the territory of Alaska.
I favor the adoption of this pol
icy. 1 believe it to be that un
der which Alaska will develop
most safley and speedily and
under which the resources of
that territory will most certain
ly become available to the peo
ple.”
“The people of this typical
congressional district gave un
mistakable proof of their con
fidence in the wisdom and abil
ity of their representative as
well as in the wisdom, states
manship and patriotism of the
president.
“We cite this contest and its
result as an illustration of the
discriminating judgment of the
people and an an assurance to
other public servants that theii
devotion to duty,that their sup
port of the progressive meas
ures, that their fidelity to the
national administration will be
approved and awarded by ar
enlightened nd patriotic consti
jtuency.”

victed of first degree murdei
and sentenced to the peniten

Farm Demonstration
Should Begin Now
To those throughout the
county who have agreed to take
up Demonstration work,I would
in this way remind you that
NOW is the opportune time for
beginning the preparation of
the seed bed and the selection
of good seeds to plant.
I hope to have at least ten
Demonstrators who will plant
good pure corn of some one of
the leading varieties and make
some effort to produce in our
own county enough properly
selected seed for another year.
There is no reason why this can
not be done successfully and
'profitably to those who will
grow this seed. 1 will glady as
sist any one in determining the
best variety and in getting good
seed for planting this year.
Due to the extensive work of
inoculating hogs, it has been
impossible forme to get around
and visit as I would like, those
who have agreed to take up
| work with me, however, I hope
that if there is anything you
wish to know, you will feel
free to take it up with me, with
the assurance that 1 shall al
ways be glad to serve you as
best 1 can and as soon as pos
sible, I shall visit each one per
sonally.
1 will also be glad to enlist
as Co-operators, all who are in
terested in better Agriculture
and who will, with what assis
tance I can give them grow
some crop according to Govern
ment methods, keeping as ac
curately as possible, the cost of
producing such crop; and from
time to time I will be glad to
have all interested meet me at
some of the Demonstration
plots where we can hold field
meetings and perhaps in this
way be o some help to those
| who attend.
To all the boys and girls who
have enlisted in anyof theclubs
we hope to lend a helping hand
and as it will be impossible for
me to visit each one separately
at this time; and as it. is time
they are up and doing, to me it
occurs best to hold a rally and
insist on as many of the club
members as possible being pre
sent. T want them to fully re
alize that their presence at this
meeting means a great help to
me in my work, and I do hope
they will all make an extra ef
fort to encourage this work by
their preence. Don’t forget the
day, Saturday March 18, 1915.
We will hold our meeting in
the morning at 10:30 and in
the afternoon at 2 o’clock
through the kindness and inter
. est manifested in the work by
those in charge of the Moving
Picture Show all club members
will be given a ticket to the
show.This will be early enough
for all to see the show and then
get home before night.
Those members of the Pig
Club who are expecting the
bank to finance them can at
This time settle that perman
ently.
In as much as it has been
impossible for me to see all the
boys and girls of the county, I
will be glad for those who are
interested in this work to come
in and if possible, join one of
these clubs and help us in this
work.
At our meeting I hope to
have some man who can inter
est all in their work. I have ex
tended to Mr. Jernigan, state
agent in charge of this, an in
vitation to be with us, and in
case he can’t come, there will
be some one to take his plaec.
Be sure and come.

County Demonstration Agent.

CALOMEL SALIVATES
AND MAKES YOU SICK
Acts like dynamite on a sluggish
liver and you lose a
day’s work.
There’s no reason why a person should
take sickening, salivating calomel when
50 cents buys a large l>ottle of Dodson’s
Liver Tone—a perfect substitute for cal
omel.
It is a pleasant, vegetable liquid which
will start your liver just as surely os
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. Take
a dose of nasty calomel today and you
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 you will wake up feeling great.

Influenza
“Granny” Chamberlain
“No one who has not had Influenza can realize.the suffering
it causes or how it defies treatment. I know o no fQr
give such prompt relief as Chamberlain s C oug 1
when it is taken the pain in the chest disappears, the fever sub
sides and the whole body becomes more comfortable.
Then again, the after effedts of Influenza are often even
distressing than the disease itself, but they can be avoided it
you use
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
Though the greatest danger from this disease is Pneumonia,
I have never known a single case of Influenza to result m it when
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy was freely given. The persistent
cough that frequently follows Influenza can be relieved by
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, and should not e a owe to
run on until it becomes troublesome.
Judge Coleman
Issues Statement
I am holding court in Law
rence county and have not the
time, neither am I financially
able to publish and distribute
a BOOK in the Third Judicial
District,and since seeing a small
book issued by my opponent, I
have this to say:
I am seeking the nomination
for Judge solely upon MY
OWN MERIT.
My opponent is a young man
for whom I have always enter
tained the highest regard, both
personally and professionally.
If there is ANYTHING, eith
er in my opponents’ official re
cord or his private life, that de
serves criticism, you will have
to find it out from some other
source than me, and I want to
[URGE upon my friends, ABOVE
ALL THINGS,to use only HON
ORABLE means and CLEAN
methods in my behalf.
As to the statement that I
accepted the appointment as
Judge upon the condition that
1 would not be a candidate to
succeed myself, I have this to
say:
There was no condition
WHATEVER attached to or
connected with my appoint
ment in any way.
No such thing was ever men
tioned or intimated to me by
any one. I postively WOULD
NOT have accepted such an
appointment, and given up my
law' practice for soshorta term.
My opponent was an appli
cant for the appointment, and
1 won it by HONORABLE
means, and I expect to get the
j present nomination by fair and
honorable methods or not at all.
This is a free country and
any honest cvtizen has the right
to seek any office either by ap
pointment. or at the hands of
the people.
As to my record on the bench
my ability, my fairness, my
SOBRIETY, my honesty, and
the dispatch of court business,
I refer you to E\ ER\ PRAC
TICING lawyer, EVERY court
official, EVERY juror, and ev
ery disinterested onlooker who
has been in court in the Third
Judicial Circuit since I have
been on the bench.
If you believe, after a FULL
and COMPLETE investigation
that my opDonent would make
you a BETTER judge than I
have made and with my ex
perience will make, then it is
your DUTY as good citizens to
elect him. On the other hand,
if you believe that I am as well
qualified as he. and that I have
given you capable and conscien
tious service, I submit that I
am warranted in asking your
support.
Yours for ABSOLUTE FAIR
NESS,
DENE H. COLEMAN.

get instant relief.
Most of us neglect coughs and colds.
We brush suggestions aside with the re

times we do get bi tter. However, when
that cough or cold gets a hold, it usually
means annoyance, interference with our
work and often a spell of sickness fol
lows. Isu't it better immediately to
check that cold and ease the cough ? Dr.
King’s New Discovery does it! Search
as you will, you will not find a better
remedy.
Dr. King's New Discovery is made of
Pine Tar mixed with soothing balsams
and laxatives. It’s antiseptic and kills
the germs, allays the cold-fever and
soothes the irritated, inflamed throat.
The very first dose gives you relief. You
cough with less strain. And if you have
a hacking or dry night cough, grateful
relief follows and you soon drop into a
restful and refreshing sleep. Get a bot
tie to-day and let Dr. King’s New Dis
covery be your cold and cough doctoi
't all druggists.
