NEWARK, INDEPENDENCE COUNTY, ARKANSAS, FRIDAY JULY 25, 1902.
Vol. 2 No. 30.
DAVIS WAS NOT READY
But, Other Members of the Board
Were Going to Proceed
and he Joined Them.
The state board of election
commissioners met at the state
house in Little Rock Friday and
selected election commissioners
for all but three counties, selec
tions in the latter being deferred
to await recommendations. Gov
ernor Davis, Attorney General
Muiphy and Secretary of State
Crockett compose the state board
and all were present at the meet
ing.
The feature of the selections
made by the board is the recog
nition accorded the insurgent wing
of the republican party as to mi'
oresentat ion on the coun
In each county two
were appointed and
nrd commissioner, following
.ic law, was named from the mi
nority purtv. In nearly every in
.-'i.uiva: it 11 IpIitr11c* iu.it inu millin'
ity commissioners named by the
state board are insurgents.
l’here was some doubt as to
whether Governor Davis would
attend the nieVting Friday. Me
had set July 25 as the day for the
board to meet. Gen. .Murphy
was anxious to meet before that
time in order that he might be
fr._e to meet Myers, the regular
republican nominee for governor,
on the stump. Ge i Murphy and
Mr. Crockett, constituting a ma
jority of the board, agreed to
meet Friday and go ahead with
the work of selecting the commis
sioners.
When the board met Gov. Dav
is appeared on the scene and an
nounced that he would go ahead j
with his colleagues under protest. J
As ehairma.i he had designated
July 25 as the day of meeting, be
lieving t hat date would be satis
factory to all. Recomcnd.ilimis
had been scut in from the coun
ties for appointment and in a
great majority of eases these rec-j
ommendations had been made by]
chairmen and secretaries and not '
by the committees. He had been
writing to the various counties to
ascertain whether the recommen
dations sent in were satisfactory.
1 a reply to a suggest ion from Gen.
Murphy that appointments could
be made, where, there were no
contests, Gov. Davis said Senator
Jones has had the democratic or
ganization the last two years and
some of the extreme Jones men
had said that they won Id not vote
foi him (Davis). He felt inter
ested and wanted to know where
the cominissioneis stand.
Gen.Murphy favored harmony,

Brundidgc vs. Davis.
It is rumored that Senator Ber
ry is not going to outer the field
for another teimus United States
senator, and that Hon. S- Brim
dige, Jr., our present congress
man, will go up against Jeff foi
that place. It is quite certain
that Mr. Brundidge would not op
pose Senator Berry, for they are
such close friends as to prohibit
the possibility of such an eventu
ality’, and this lends color to the
story that Mr. Berry will not lie a
candidate. However, the whole
story has no better foundation
than rumor. If Brundidgeenters
the lists he will win, foi lie is es
pecially fitted to tear the mask
off Jeff Davis and expose iiis de
magogy so clearly and plainly that
even his most benighted followers
cannot help hut see the emptiness
of the vessel. If Senator Berry
is out of the race, we don't know
of a man anywhere whom Wt

VEST ON FREE SILVER
Says 'FIiis is Not the Proper Time
to Make Silver the Para
mount Issue.
Considerable comment, wise and
otherwise, is being made in demo
cratic newspapers over the follow
ing declaration made by Senator
V est in a recent letter to The St.
Louis Republic:
l have no objection to stating (hat,
while I am a bimetallist, sincerely
and truly, and believe that silver is
money of ultimate redemption,l do
not think that, this is the time to
make the free and unlimited cjinage
of silver at 10 to 1 a paramount issue.
1 believe that a man can be a good
democrat without indorsing the decla
ration in the Kansas City platform
for the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at 16 to 1 without the consent
of foreign countries
The senator seems to have very
plainly and fully expressed the
sentiments of the great majority
of the democrats of the country in
| the above quoted paragraph.
I Taken as it stands it involves no
ivtreat from the past faith of the
party as to the principle in ques
tion and clearly avows the undeni
able right of any democrat to have
( his own view of the expediency of
|any party proposal of the pastor
j the present.
We think it is unquestionable
; that a vast majority of the demo
|erats of the nation believe as hon
estly now as they did in L87ti, or
1 SIM), or 1900, that a bimetallic
system of currency is better than
a single gold standard.
Democracy, however, does not
live or die by the fortunes of that
doctrine. Times change by chance
or collusion of events and issues
(mu# or fall in their degrees of op
j portunity by such incidents So
that a democrat may believe in
bimetallism ever so religiously
and yet be no less a democrat be
; cause he does not believe the press
ing of that policy is now as oppor
tune, or needful to the people’s
immediate welfare, as it was in
lspij, or as it may be a few years
hence should another era of panic
and money famine occur. To
that extent Senator N est states
the position of most loyal demo
crats when he states his own.
If there are other democrats
who believe that*’the free coinage
of silver at lb to 1 without the aid
or consent of any other nation”
should be the paramount issue of
1 today, or of 190J-, they have the
indisputable right to so believe.
They can go into the party con
volitions wherever they belong
and contend for their view. If
they win, they are entitled to the
fruits of their victory. If they
fail and the democrats of a dis
i trict, a state, or the nation, decide
! differently and refuse to make
that proposal, or any other, the
paramount issues of the moment,
j it is clearly the duty of every true
democrat to abide the decision and
loyally follow the Hag in the fu
ture lighting.
I i Years Old, Weighs 245 Pounds.
Jonesboro, .Inly 18.—Jim
Sparks, a prominent farmer who
lives 8 miles north of therity, has
a daughter only 11 years old who
weighs 245 pounds and she gains
one pound each week, which is
very remarkable indeed. She is
the largest of her ago in the
world.
Gratuitous Advice.
One great trouble with the peo
ple of this age is that they know
just how to manage (be business
of their fellows. The old maid
pi offers her sister advice on how
| to manage a husband, and the old
bachelor can g ve a taiher pointers
on rearing a family of boys. The
! uun who would starve but for the
induslty and frugality of his wife
teels competent to manage the
finances ot the country, and the
people who cannot he trusted to
drive ducks to water will explain
to the world's wisest howto gel to
heaven. The man who cannot
run a hand organ, if it were fast
ened to him,can tell you just how to
run your business. And the man
who can’t run anything else on
earth knows exactly how to run a
newspaper.—Ex.

Do Something.
There are young men in every
community who have no occupa

able to find an opening in that
particular line which suits their

finally become dissatisfied with I
life. They have made a mistake, I
and tlmee who have encouraged
them in Midi a eourseare likewise '
to blame. Perhaps it is some
ambi’ious parent who has thus
milImughfedly injured his off
spring. We use the term “in
jured" advi.edly, for no greater'
injury ean eome to a young man
than t » emit met habits of llnif't-i
lessness in his early youth. If lie.
lias been reared to the belief that
| something good would eome to
| him simply because he happened
| to be tin* offspnug of such and
such a family, he has been grevi
ously wionged. In this practi
cal age only meiit succeeds, and
each individual must establish for
j himself that diameter in the busi
ness world which is to sustain his
; future. False pvide has deterred j
many from the-first step in what j
might have piovcn a successful1]
j career. Any lumest employment
j is preferable to a life ol idleness.
The young man who remains with
out work for any considerable
time gets the reputation of "a ne’r
do well,” and business men do not
want that kind of help.—Memphis
