POLITICO. GOSSIP FROM
STATE CAPITAL CIRCLES
Special to The Journal.
Little Rock, Sept. 28.—Poli
tics is beginning to take its ac
customed biennal stride. Ef
fqrts to vivify it during the
summer were for the most part
futile, as the people were anxi
ous for a little rest. Hut now
that the primaries are being
set, and county politics is fur
nishing an incentive, more at
tention is being given to state
politics.
Webster defines politics as
“the science and art of govern
ment,” but in Arkansas it is
more liberally defined as the
art of seeing who can run the
fastest for an office. This ab
servation will be recognized by
all, however, as purely aca
demic, and as one thatcanhave
no influence whatever on the
situation.
The primaries are being call
ed. and a large number of the
counties will ignore the uni
l'rom date fqr the county elec
tion. Phillips opens with the
earliest, then comes Chicot
county on Nov. 17. The Pulaski
county canndidates will hold
their contest on January 12,and
there is already a large field of
starters jockeying for positions.
Thejt’e is less “new blood” in
the running than there has
been in many years, and there
is scarcely an old officer who is
not seeking another term or
some other office.
The lineup for the state of
fices is assuming shape, and it
is believed that the next few
weeks will see all the listscom
plete.
i nere nas ueen no amnge in
the race for governor for more
than a month. There are still
six candidates in the field, C.
H. Brough, Earle W. Hodges,J.
W. Crockett, T. C. McRae and
L. C. Smith. Dr. Brough has
been campaigning for sev
eral months. Mayor Taylor has
been “visiting around’’ over the
state and getting acquainted.
Secretary of State Hodges does
not neglect any opportunity to
let people know he is in the
race, but announces that he will
not formally open hiscampaign
until December 10. McRae and
Crockett are circulating more
or less, and Judge Smith is
heard from occasionally. The
campaigning is not expected
to become really virulent until
January 1. There are only
three of those formerly in the
“prominently mentioned” class
who are considered probables.
They are Gov. Hays and Judge
A. J. Walls. Of these, Gov.
Hays is believed to be the only
one who will eventually get in
to the race.
Conferences are being held
by some of the more active
candidates this week, and poli
tical calculators are cleaning
up their typewriters for the
campaign while the prophets
and headquarters hangers-on
are mobolizing along the en
tire front.
The appointment of Wallace
Davis has given a different as
pect to the race for Attorney
General. He has not yet said
whether he will be in the con
test for the nomination, and his
decision may have a direct
bearing upon the action of John
D. Arbuckle and M. P. Huddle
ston. Two others who have said
they will run are X. O. Pindall
and Lewis Rhoton of Little
Rock.
There will he only two can
didates for Superintendent of
Public Instruction, J. L. Bond
and J. W. Kuykendall. Both of
them are already active in a
quiet campaign of the State.
For Secretary of State, Tom
J. Terrall of Union county, for
two terms secretary of the sen
ate, is making a quietbutactive
campaign. Of the many men
tioned in connection with the
office it appears at this time
that the only other candidates
will be Jim Higgins of Conway
chief clerk of he House for sev
eral sessions, and Representa
tive V. A. Beeson.
John H. Page has announced
for third term as Commissioner
of Agriculture, and is opposed
by Sam Samson, of Amity, who
ran for Congress two years ago,
against W. S. Goodwin.
An interesting ,race is prom
ised for Auditor of State. Dr.
M. F .Dickinson, who is serving
the unexpired term of L. L.
Coffman, by appointmentofthe
governor, will be a candidate
for the nomination. Sheriff Ho
gan Oliver of Ashley county,
and County Judge E. M. Mc
McCall of Ouachita County,
have announced as candidates,
and H. C. McCain of Little lock
who made a creditable race
against Mr. Coffman two years
ago, has said that he will be in
the running.
So far.no oppositionhasbeen
announced to Associate Justice
Carrol D. Wood, who has been
on the bench since 1893, al
though several names have been
mentioned.
State Treasurer Rufus G.
McDaniel and Land Commis
sioner \V. B. Owen have no op
position and none is expected.
There is to be a lively scram
ble in several districts for Con
gressional honors this time.
In the second “Billy” Old
field has a scrap on his hands.
Representative Gip Gray of In
dependence County says he is
in the race to stay. Tom Camp
bell of Pocahontas is casting
longing eyes upon the plum,
down in Prairie County Gene
Lankford and Epps Brown are
not at all averse to being known
as “The Gentleman from the
Second Arkansas.” Mr. Brown
would have to resign from the
tax commission to make the
race, but he says that is easy—
| when the time comes.
Indications are that an ef
i fort will be made to change the
I date of the primary to some la
mump
You Need a Tonic
There are times in every woman’s life when she
needs a tonic to help her over the hard places.
When that time comes to you, you know what tonic
to take—Cardui, the woman’s tonic. Cardui is com
posed of purely vegetable ingredients, which act
gently, yet surely, on the weakened womanly organs,
and helps build them back to strength and health.
It has benefited thousands and thousands of weak,
ailing women in its past half century of wronderful
success, and it will do the same for you.
You can’t make a mistake in taking
ARDUI
The Woman’s Tonic
Miss Amelia Wilson, R. F. D. No. 4, Alma, Ark.,
says: “1 think Cardui is the greatest medicine on earth,
for women. Before 1 began to take Cardui, I was
so weak and nervous, and had such awful dizzy
spells and a poor appetite. Now 1 feel as well and
as strong as I ever did, and can eat most anything.”
Begin taking Cardui today. Sold by all dealers.
