| JAMES GUY TUCKER
| CANDIDATE FOR I
State Auditor I
James Guy Tucker, Candidate for State Auditor, ♦
was born in Union County, Arkansas. He finished the
public and high schools at El Dorado and Little Rock t
and afterward worked his way through Georgetown ^
University, Washington, D- C. lie graduated in law *
at Georgetown University in 1916 and immediately up- %
on his return to Arkansas trouble began with Mexico |
and he enlisted as a private and served on the Mexican +
border. While on the border he was promoted to the »
rank of a lieutenant. <|
When war declared with Germany Mr. Tecker re- %
ported to his company and was stationed at Camp <!
Beauregard. He was sent overseas in July 1918 and
transferred to the 89th Division then engaged in ac- t
tual fighting in the front lines. He served here until *
the signing of the armistice. Mr. Tucker acquitted X
himself creditably while on the front lines as is shown ♦
by the following citation : ♦
“HEADQUARTERS EIGTHY-NINTH DIVISION.
GERMANY
17 December, 1918.
General Orders No. 100
The Division Commander is proud of the oppor
tunity to commend those members of this command,
named below for their courage, bravery and devotion
to duty displayed during the operations of the Division
in the St. Mihiel sector and in the subsequent Argonne
Meuse offensive.
First Lieutenant JAS. GUY TUCKER, 353rd In
fantrv. During the Argonne-Meuse offensive Novem
ber 1-11, 1918, Lieutenant Tucker showed great skill
in the handling of Company “E”-353rd Infantry, and,
although in poor physical condition, by his cheerful
ness, courage and bravery under great hardships and
heavy fire, set an example that was an inspiration to
the men of his company. During the assault on the
north edge of the Bois de Barricourt on November 2,
1918, at a time when the advance of the battalion was
critically endangered by the heavy machine gun fire
of the enemy, Lieutenant Tucker showed great skill
and presence of mind in conducting his company, then
in support to the right flank of the battalion, and
though under heavy fire, succeeding in flanking the
enemy machine guns and enabled the battalion to move
forward.
The Division Commander is happy to express his
praise and appreciation to these members of the Di
vision who exhibited such heroism, exceptional forti
tude and coolness under the extreme hardships of
campaign.
Bv Command of Major General Winn.
JOHN II. LEE, Colonel,
General Staff, Chief of Staff.
Mr. Tucker, however, is not making this race on
his war record. He is a young man who has never
sought office before and is well qualified to perform
the duties of the office of Auditor of State, having oc
cupied positions of trust and responsibility for several
years. Mr. Tucker’s opponents have held political of
fices or appointments for several years past and Mr
Tucker is seeking this office strictly on his merits and
in the belief that no man or set of men should be al
lowed to hold office continually.
The voters of the state can make no mistakes in
casting a ballot for James Guy Tucker for State Au
ditor.

ARKANSAS VOTERS FORM ONE BIG RING TO
TAKE STATE GOVERNMENT FROM HANDS
OF HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT AND ITS
ATTORNEYS AND ENGINEERS
On next Tuesday a majority of Arkansas voters
will journey to the polls and defeat the efforts of the
bloodsuckers to continue their hold on the throat of
the property owners. They will succeed by electing
SMEAD POWELL GOVERNOR
There are too many intilligent people in Arkan
sas to allow a continuation of the special road district
legislation as fostered by the present administration.
They are well aware that the Highway Department
and its retinue of favored attorneys, engineers and
contractors are for anybody to beat Sinead Powell.
They know that McRae, the banker who wantas to
pay the old Holfodr Carpet Bag bonds; Floyd, the
special candidate; or any of the others will mean a
continuation of present policies, with double pressure
upon their necks by the cloven hoof of special taxa
tion. If you want political and financial freedom,
vote for Smead Powell on August 10. If you want to
see four years more of the Brough administration,
see taxes mount higher and higher, see government
centralized in the Highway instead of the Executive
Department, do not vote for Powell, for he is certain
death to such tactics as have been grinding Arkansas
down in the past.
