Thos. J. Raney.
Editor The Journal:
As you are well aware, I am a
supporter of Thos. J. Raney for
the office of representative, and
want to give the public through
your paper, a few of the reasons
why he deserves the support of
the good voters throughout the
county.
To begin with, Tom is as well,if
not better, qualified for the posi
tion as any man in the race; no
one can dispute this. His charac
ter and reputation cannot be as
sailed. In this he is above re
proach; sober, honest and upright,
and a consistent member of the j
Methodist church.
While he has never held an of
ficial position, he has held a num- ■
ber of positions of trust. I believe j
he is a member of every fraternal j
order in town and no member is ;
held in higher esteem than he. At |
the present time he is serving two'
of the most prominent of these as !
presiding officer, which shows that
those who are more closely associ- j
ated with him have confidence in!
his integrity and ability.
He is worthy of every honor
that can be bestowed upon him and
I hope the good people of Indepen
dence county will give him a rous
ing majority on the2tith of March.

WAS PRETTY WARM
Candidates For Prosecuting Attor
ney (irew Caustic in Their
Speeches Here Tuesday.
The county candidates, and a
jolly, good-natured set they were,
addressed the people here Tuesday.
A fair sired crowd was in attend
ance and things moved along nice
ly until the candidates for prose
cuting attorney were given the
floor.
The flow of eloquence began a
bout 10 o'clock, Burt Arnold act
ing as chairman. The minor can- j
didates were dispensed with in !
short order, and as interest seem- j
ed to center in the tight for repre
sentative, the crowd eagerly await
ed the opening of the discussion
among the candidates for this of-.
flee.
The minor candidates having!
finished, Squire Blount was intro
duced as a candidate for represen
tative and made the opening ad
dress. Being somewhat feeble he 1
only spoke a few minutes, during i
which he enlarged upon the duty ;
of an official to regard his oath of
office.
Judge M. L. Arnold was then
introduced and spoke for about 25 ,
minutes, Being the only candidate
who is an avowed supporter of eith
er of the gubernatorial aspirants, |
he took the position that it was un-;
democratic to elect the chief exe
cutive for a third term and enter
ed into a discussion of the ques- !
tion. He declared himself for
Wood and said that the people,
therefore, knew where he stood,
but if they voted for cither of the
other candidates they did not know
whether they were voting for a
Wood man or a Davis man.
At this junction the assembly
adjourned for dinner. In the af
ternoon Dr. 11. G. Logan was the
first speaker. He told a number
of anecdotes which seemed to
please the audience very much,
lie related a dream of seeing
Judge Arnold swinging onto
Judge Wood s coat tail as the hit
ter was making a boat race with i
l
the campaign. He spoke for an
hour and handled his opponent
pretty roughly at times. In fact,
Ids denunciation of Mr. Gray was
very caustic, and he frequently re
ferred to Gray in such plain words
Gov. Davis; told how Wood's
progress in the race was thus im
peded by Arnold, how the coat
tail finally tore off, and said that
if Wood should be elected Arkan
sas would have a bob-tailed gover
nor. This story literally brought
down the house, and throughout
his remarks it was evident that
Logan had many friends in the
audience.
Judge Lindsey followed with a
smooth heart-to-heart talk of a few
minutes concerning the measures
he advocated. Close attention was
given him throughout and while
he is not an orator it is evident
that he is a deep thinker and goes
to the bottom of affairs.
Jno. G. Hazelrigg was then in
troduced and made a short busi
ness like talk. He favored cur
tailing appropriations and startled
quite a number with the declara
tion that he would favor cutting
$.>2,000 from the appropriation for
the state university.
T. J. Haney was the next speak
er. He discussed the measuresset
forth in his platform and made a
good, business-like talk. His re
marks were given close attention
and as Tom is a citizen of Newark
and was among neighbors and
friends,it is unnecessary to say that
his remarks were well received.
Dene II. Coleman followed with
the. closing address for the repre
sentatives. Dene is somewhat of
an orator and for about 25 minutes
poured forth his eloquence with
ease and dignity. His reference
to Hazelrigg and Arnold was loud
ly applauded, in fact he was fre-1
quently applauded during the
course of his speech. He closed
with a beautiful tribute to the la
dies, a number of whom were in
attendance' in the afternoon.
Prosecuting Attorney Oldfield
was then introduced and proceeded
o review his official record, and ex
dain some of the serious charges
hat have gained credence during
7
as ’‘liar" and other terras equally
unbecoming. The Crosser and
Head affair, the Dorr ease, and
other' in which it has been openly
charged that the prosecuting at
torney failed to do his duty, play
ed prominent parts in the discus
sion. Mr. Oldfield mentioned a
number of things which he said
Gray had circulated on him and
characterized them as “slanderous
lies.” He said Gray was no law
yer, could not fill the office if he
had it and that if the people had
it in for him (Oldfield) they could
not afford to vote for such a sim
pleton as Gray.
T. A. Gray, Mr. Oldfield’s op
ponent, was not present, but had a
representative on the ground in
the person of Hon. A. G. Gray,
who was then introduced and pro-;
ceeded to answer some of Mr.Old- j
field’s arguments. Mr. Gray’s ar-j
raignment of Oldfield’s official rec- ■
ord soon grew somewhat caustic, |
also, and when it seemed that Gray
was about to entrap Oldfield on a
certain question at issue, Oldfield
became enraged, and jumping to
his feet, denied the allegation made
by the speaker, and demanded in a
rather threatening manner of Mr. '
Gray not to go any further with
the statement. Cries of “Hurrah
for Gray” were heard on all sides,
quickly followed by cries of “Hur
rah for Oldfield, and a number
of friends of each of the beliger
ents were on their feet in an in
stant. It looked like trouble was
ahead, but just at this junction
Mayor Williamson appeared in the
rear door just behind the speaker,
and shaking his finger warningly
Mr. Oldfield, commanded him to
sit down. Oldfield returned to his
seat and after quiet was restored
Mr. Gray resumed his speech, de
nouncing Mr. Oldfield at times in
the most caustic language at his
command. Oldfield kept his seat,
however, and no further demon
strations occurred. In closing
Gray said in reply to Mr. Old
field’s charges that his opponent
was not a lawyer, Mr. Gray stated
that he (T. A.) held license to
practice in the supreme court of
the state which was more than'
Oldfield could say for himself.
