To The Voters of Independence ( ounty: j
An election will be held onTuesday,
November 7, for President, Member of
Congress from this district,and for State,
County and Township officers.
Never before has there been an
election involving more live issues. The
administration of President Wilson for
the past three years is submitted to the
people for approval. It is unnecessary
to go into detail as to the beneficial leg
islation that has been passed under his
administration by a Democratic Con
gres.
It is only necessary to mention the
Federal Reserve Act, by which panics
have become impossible.
The Rural Credits Act, which has
given the farmer the same facilities for
credit as the business man of the city.
The Income Tax Law, under which
the burden of taxation has been placed
on the very rich.
The Federal "trade Commission Act,
designed to prevent unfair competition.
The Clayton Act which makes the
Sherman Act, or anti-trust law. more ef
fective, preventing nterlocking director
ates in different corporations.
The Smith-Lever Agricultural Act,
which provides for the co-operation of
the Federal authorities with the State to
extend progressive farming.
The Good Roads Act, by which fed
eral aid is provided for building good
roads.
The Child Labor Law. the Eight
Hour Law, and many others perhaps
equally as important.
Republican rule and the high pro
tective tariff have never helped the far
mer, or any agricultural section, but has
helped to enrich the Eastern manufac
turers. \\ hen McKinley had been presi
dent three years, and the Republicans
were in tull control of the Government,
we saw cotton sell for four cents, and
other farm products in proportion. Now,
with Demcracy in full control of the
Government, we see the fallacy and ab
surdity of the contention that high tariff
and Republican rule can help the farmer.
By the wise acts of our President,
we have been kept out of complications
with foreign nations. We have avoided
the terrible ravages of war that have
been desolating the land of nearly every
civilized nation of the world.
Wilson has prevented an industrial
strike which would have demoralized
our country. Instead of our getting 18
cents a pound for our cotton, we could
not have sold it at any price, had Wilson
not prevented the great strike.
All this has been done with honor
to the Nation and with justice to all par
ties concerned. While there is no doubt
of the final result in the State, every vot
er should feel proud of the fact that he
has the right and the privilege of casting
his vote in favor of this wise ruler who
has so successfully steered the Ship of
State over the many breakers encount
ered during the past three years.
We have nominated a State ticket
that is pledged to carry out the princip
les of Democracy as embodied in its
platform, which was prepared and
adopted with the view of the protection
of the rights of the people of the State.
Our county ticket was nominated at
a primary which was fair, and free from
any charge of any unfairness or sugges
tion of fraud. The personel of this ticket
is composed of some of the best men in
Independence county—men who will fill
the offices with honor to themselves and
fidelity to the public interests.
Opposing our ticket is a ticket made
up of Republicans and Socialists. In a
spirit of fairness, we have no complaint
to make against any Republican who has
offered for a county office, but we
frankly believe that at least one of the
Socialists would do anything or say any
thing in his mad efforts to break into of
fice. Believing that the people do not
want any of the blighting effects of So
cialism in good old Independence county,
we urge every man who is interested in
the welfare of his country, to go out to
the polls on the 7th of November and
help elect the Democratic ticket, from
President down to Constable.

Given President
and Mrs. Wilson
Arkadelphia, Oct.29.—What
is said to have been the cost
liest barrel of flour ever milled
was presented to President Wil
son at Shadow Lawn by the
Arkadelphia Milling Company
while representatives of that
mill were touring with the Ar
kansas on Wheels special train
this week. Four and one-half
bushels of wheat are ordinar
ily required to makp a barrel
of flour, but in this barrel oi
superfine flour 24 bushels were
used. Its worth was stated to
be $200. The flour was made
from the highest quality of Ar
kansas wheat, which is now
commanding the interest of
millers everywhere. W. N.
Adams manager of the Arka
delphia Milling Co., made the
presentation. It was largely
due to his efforts two years
ago that the wheat acreage in
Arkansas was doubled. His
mill has experimented exten
sively with wheat from all
states and has found that none
surpasses Arkansas in the qual
ity of grain. The Arkadelphia
mill is probably the largest
flour mill in the southwest. It
is running to full capacity, day
|and night.

WOMAN SLAYER OF
BARBER PARDONED
Little Rock. Nov. 1.—Gov.
Hays today pardoned Mrs. An
nie Smith of Nashville, this
state, who was recently con
victed for shooting and killing
C. S. Ledford, a barber, at
Nashville and given a five-year
sentence in the penitentiary.
Mrs. Smith and her husband,
John Smith, were sent to the
penitentiary about three weeks
ago. According to papers and
certificates filed with Gov.
Hays, Mrs. Smith has three
small children and expects to
become the mother of a fourth
child in February. Mrs. Smith
testified that she shot Ledford
because of insulting notes he
had sent her.

FARMERS ENJOYING
ERA OF PROSPERITY
(Continued from page one)
Rock, and the dealers in sever
al of the leading models are
unable to supply the demand.
One certain popular low-pric
ed car has more than two hun
dred orders booked than can
be filled only as they are re
ceived, and purchases are be
ing made now for March deliv
ery. And that company turns
out half a million cars a year.
Another thing that is hard
to get and in which the demand
greatly exceeds the supply, is
farm wagons. Ail farmers are
buying wagons, and local deal
ers are unable to bring them **
in fast enough. Orders are
booked weeks ahead. There is
only one wagon factory in the
state, at Fort Smith, and^ its
product is sold out far ahead.
“The commercial organiza
tions and the press of the state
should agitate the building of
more factories in Arkansas for
jthe manufacture of farm imple
ments,” said a prominent deal
i er to the writer. We have the
raw material here, and there
is no good reason why it should
be shipped to some northern
state and then shipped back,
requiring the payment of
freight both ways to be added
to the purchaser’s bill. We
have received literature from
an Ohio manufacurer who ad
vertises that the company con
trols a large area of hardwood
/timber in Lawrence county,
Arkansas.
