POLITIC AL POTPOrilKI
Redneck Talks of Things Political
and Hopes That Everybody
Will (iet to vote.
To The Newark .Journal:
Everything is calm and serene
in this part of the moral vineyard.
The candidates for prosecuting
attorney have come and gone. A
good big crowd was out to hear
them. It seems that Mr. Cran
bery made the deepest and most
tasting impression on the minds of
the people, or at least he created
more talk than all the others.
That little song was enough to out
the heart strings of any man, wo
man or child in the grand old
state of Arkansas.
Say, what about all the leading
state journals? Have they all
Hopped over for Jeff, or are they
just now simmering down, trying
to get baek into the Democrat par
ty? I haven't noticed any great
4»ig head lines or cartoons on deti
lately. I think they are doing Jeff
an injusti -e by not keeping his
name before the public. Some of
ns hill billies might forget that he
is a candidate for the United
States senate and vote for Berry.
Now if they are only trying to
get back into the Democrat party,
they must pull oil their high col
lars and silk stockings, or we will
never take them back at any price.
And if we were to take them back
we fear that they would always be
dabbling in politics, and if they
couldn't have their way they would
kick out of the harness and veto
everything that came along.
Say, do you know of any good
tickers down there that a, fellow
could hire? Some men have near
ly kicked their fool selves to death
and want to lure some good kicker
to kick for them until after the
election. 1 hope even thing will
dimmer down and harmonize so
everybody can vote, don’t you?
But I think it darned uncertain.
We hill-billies haven’t got nuch
#»ense any way, and we are getttng
tired of the high collared set do
ing all the thinking and advising.
We want to help them we want
to do a little of our own thinking.
We know they have a tender feel
ing away down in their hearts for
us, but it is too bard for them to
have to sit back and do all the
thinking it is to hard on their
•nuscleH.
Say what about it, 1 understand
that some want to have a double
primary: at least two primaries,
and the only difficulty is that they
are between a chill and a sweat
whether to call it a Democrat or
Republican primary, as some of
them arc bolters. Yours for luck

liKACE UP AND BE SOMEBODY.
The bane of so many boys, both
in town and country, is a seeming
^aek of ambition and desire to be
somebody. The law works very
unerringly and relentlessly that
w hat the lad sows the man reaps.
If in youth he is willing to drift
merely, even if he is not positive
ly immoral, the mature man is!
easy to forecast a shiftless, hope
less mortal, with no aim, willing
to eat. although he does not earn,
three meals a day: a dead weight
on his family and the community
in which he lives, contributing
nothing to the material prosperity
of his time and slightly missed
when in declining years he slips
away. For the sake of yourself
first, if you will, and for the sake
of your friends and the age in
which you live, brace up and be
somebody. It is well worth your
while and will contribute immeas
ably to your own material welfare
and happiness. Ex.
