POLITICIANS OF THE
STATE GETTING BUSY
Many are menttioned. but
few pay their fees. So might
an old saying be paraphrased,
as applied to practical poli
tics. Judged from the army
of receptive candidates for
every office from President of
the United States to road
overseer, office-holding has
become one of the most pop
ular and renumerative pur
suits in free America today.
The recent session of the
General Assembly did not
produce as much politics as
has been expected, due large
ly to the fact that the mem
bers were otherwise employ
ed, and that it had been de
cided not to advance the date
of the primaries, which are
to be held in August.
The final roll had not been
called in the House and Sen
ate, however, until members
of the two bodies began
making their formal an
nouncements for the ap
proaching election.
It is the harvest time for
the country weekly and daily,
whose columns yawn for the
privilege of flaunting the
ambitions of local statesman
before the world.
Not content with 83 days
service in the various sessions
of the 42nd General Assemb
ly, many members of the
Legislature have already an
nounced for re-election or for
promotion from the House to
the Senate. In so doing they
have demonstrated their su
preme faith in the approval
of the people of what in many
respects has been the most
remarkable Legislature in the
history of the . state.
There are many predicting
that there will be a reaction
ary Legislature to convene
next January, and one of the
members, Mr. Sullenger of
Mississippi, in his farewell
i speech, warned against this,
! declaring it the duty of all
p rogressive citizens to see
that no backward step is
; taken at this time.
Just what the attitude of
the people will be toward the
j mass of roads legislation re
mains to be seen. There were
nearly 500 acts passed by the
Extra session, of which at
least 400 are road bills. Most
of these were in aid of road
districts already created, but
not a few were for the crea
tion of new districts.
That the good roads legis
laion will figure in politics this
summer is assured.
At least one of the candi
dates for Governor. Judge
Haynie of Prescott, has al
ready made his' opening
speech, and has declared,
among other things, Against
the State Highway Commis
sion.
<joi. l. v^. ivicricte, juugc
Haynie’s fellow townsman,
who is also a candidate for
Governor, denounces as “ene
my propaganda” all reports
that he may retire from the
race, and adds that “only the
dispensation of Providence
v ill remove me from this
race,” and that he “will be
fonnd fighting the fight of the
people for the next six
m nths.” Col. McRae has
declared against the Corpor
ation Commission.
Secretary of State Tom J.
Terral, whose candidacy has
b^en avowed longer tha t that
of any other, has made his
formal announcement, and
adds that he “has talked wkh
voters from all sections of
the state and is* confident of
victory,” and he promises that
he “will prosecute a vigorous
campaign.”
The most recent entrant is
Judge E. P. Toney of Lake
S illage, one of the state’s
leading good roads advocates,
who announced last week
mat ne is posiuvexy m uic
race for the nomination.
Only two candidates have
thus far filed their pledges in
the office of Secretary of State,
these being Tom J. Terral and
Frank M. Wells. Ex-Chap
lain Wells of Ashley county
has been conducting an active
campaign since the middle of
January and says that he ex
pects to keep it up.
The first candidate to open
headquarters in Little Rock
is John A. Rjggs of Hot
Springs, whose banners are
! conspiciOus on the Gleason
Hotel in Little Rock, John A.
Riggs for Governor: “God
First, Arkansas Next.” Mr.
Riggs relies upon the solid
support of the suffragists.
Smead Powell of Camden
says that his formal annuonce
| ment wil be forthcoming soon,
; and that he is positively in
the race to the end.
| There are rumors that Sen
ator Houston Emory of Gar
land county has serious
thoughts of getting in the
i race, but this is not verified.
George A. Cole says that he
1 is running and so does Harry
Walsh, and former Congress
man Floyd of Yellville is
known to be considering it,

i der advisement, and nothing
! has been heard of Col. James,
| Will Hutton, and a score of
others in several months. The
time of decision, however, is
at hand.
