Col. Walker V. Powell, one of
the candidates for Delegate-at
Larpe to the Democratic National
Convention, is a man whom the ed
itor takes pleasure in recommend
ing to the voters as a high toned

upon the state in that representa

road. He w's for years interested
i i water power development work
in Arkansas, and has done a great
doal to advance our state.
In the congressional race 1914.
with three candidates seeking the
nomination, Sam Samson got 1281
votes, Goodwin 770. Warncck 611.
In Clark county yilone there were
1 842 votes cast in fc.vor of retiring
Mr. Goodwin and 776 voters w il
ing to continue his pay. By divi
ding the opposition between Sam
son and Warnock. he saved his pay
check for another term and the 7th
District lost a representative ir
Congress. Bob Warnock received
about 3,0'JQ voDs in the District
which will bo er, ugh to nominate
this time with four candidates in
the field, and he will get them if
the opposition to Mr. Goodwin wilo
see that the same mistake is not
make this time that was made be

complimentary vote because he

inspirational, humorous and full of
i pathos. It will be given in our

Rev. Johnston is one of our
borne ministers and many may stay
i iway thinking that they can hear
I nim any Sunday, but they should
■ come. I ^ave have confidence
i that this lecture something differ- i

A few days ago Mr. Bu -h came
j out a 1 6 page pamphlet devoting a
good part of it to attacking me and
not so much as referring directly
or indirectly to Mr. Goodwin. Mow
Mr. Goodwin comes out with a 30
page booklet in which he devotes 7
pages to attacking me and just
i three lines to his running-mate
Bush. This should be enough to
j convince the most skeptical,

Judge L. G. Smith burned his i
bridges behind him in 19JO wh*n
be wrote the following letter
o H. L. Remmel, then candidate
ir governor against Jeff Davis,
md first lord in waiting to Powei
ilayton, Republican boss of Arkar- '
5is. He offered to-sell his polit j
nal prospects for even less than b
ness of pot licker.

Democracy will pass upon Judge
smith’s d fl ct;on in the primary
viarch 29.
He-e is Judge Smith's letter:
“beWitt, Ark., Aug. 24, 1900.
Hon. H. L. Remmel,
"Little Rock. Ark.
Dear Sir:
"I undeistagd that Jeff Davis]
has offered a reward of. $25 if you '
can show him a letter from a Dem- I
ocrat that expects to vote for ymu!
on the 3rd uay of September next j
for governor. Take him up. and!
read this letter from your first
stump i if it be true. ) The under
vgned is a !.f long Democrat and
xpe ts to casj his vote for H. L.
Remmel on the 3rd day of Septem-!
oer next, and if he pays the reward !
do a Christian act give it to the;
churches at your first disposal. 1
will not enter into details why 1
am opposed to Jeffia, but this
will give him- ano;her opportunity
to jump onto another Demccrat in
[order to be elected governor.
If Judge Smith should be nomi
nated on March 29 would be hand
the choicest appointments to the
crowd he jumped to in 1900? If;
nominated by the Democratic par
ty, which he publicly deserted in!
1900. would he expect the party!
to support him in the g-neral e:e;t-1
ion? Can he consistly abandon ;
the party in 1900 and then ask it!
to make him governor in 1916?
Refusal to support the nominee
has always been the most ur.par- ■
donable of political sins. Judge
Srriith must first absolve himself
from such sin before he can expect
reward at the hands of the Demo
cratic party. Try running on the
Republican ticket against a Demo
cratic nominee, Judge Smith, that
is where you belong,
aov C H. Biough.

Is it not reasonable to suppose, that by buying in large
quantities for our three stores, that we can secure price reduc
tions which the small ciea er cannot possibly obtain? And in
addition we are able to save about 20 per cent in freight
charges by buying in solid car load lots. Also we have no
rent to pay, as we own our building. One customer told us the
other day that he saved $*2 00 on a purchase of $21 1.00.
We can, and wi'l do the same for you. Wr te us about your
