RANEY SHOWS UP
WOOD’S CHARGES
i
[continued from first page]
from Mr. M. M. Cooley, secretary of the Board of Directors of
the First District Agriculture School, located at Jonesboro, which
is the only agriculture school in this district, speaks for itself:
“Jonesboro, Ark., March 17, 1914.
“Senator T. J. Raney, Newark, Arkansas.
“Dear Senator: I take pleasure in saying that you were a friend to
the agriculture school during your term as state senator, you can say to
anyone that your record along that line is satisfactory to the farmers who
patronize the schools. (Signed.) “II. M. Cooley,
‘ ‘Secretary of the Board of Directors of the First District Agriculture
School.”
Charge No. 4. He charges that I introduced Senate Bill
No. 88, and am responsible for the Rating Bureau in Arkansas,
some of the rates have been advanced and some have been re
duced. He hopes by this to get the people whose rates were ad
vanced to be against me. I quote the records to show that there
is nothing to this charge as follows:
Senator Toler introduced the bill originally, and the title
reads as follows: “A bill for an act to be entitled an Act for the
equitable taxation of premiucs for fire, tornado and marine in
surance companies, and for an equitable adjustment of rates
of premiums to be charged and for other purposes. The last
part of the title shows that the adjustment of rates was in the
Toler bill. I went to the Insurance Committee, of which I \vas
chairman, and after adding two sections to the bill, and not
changing one word in the section that referred to the adjust
ment of rates, it was reported back to the Senate by the com
mittee with the following endorsement in large letters on the
back of the bill: “COMMITTEE BILL BY THE COMMITTEE
ON INSURANCE. ” When the secretary received the bill he
erroneously wrote my name on the bill, and his letter is as fol
lows, showing that he did, and that it was a committee bill
identical with the Toler bill except two sections, and not my
bill. By my own motion it was referred to the Judiciary Com
mittee January 29, and on February 12 that committee, com
posed of the best lawyers in the Senate, returned the bill with
the recommendation that it pass. On February 21 it was refer
red to the Judiciary Committee in the house, and on February
28 they returned it with the recommendation that it pass. Let
the bill be good or bad, space will not permit a general discus
sion of the bill.
*>ir. l nomas J. Haney, Newark, Arkansas.
“Dear Senator Raney: In reply to yours of recent date relative to
Senate Hill No. 88, I beg to state that this bill was a committee bill, and
known as the Insurance Committee bill. I placed Raney on the bill be
cause it came from your committee; in other words, I was in the great
habit of placing the name of the author on the bill he handed me, and
when I noticed it was a committee bill I did not write any more. “1 am,
Very respectfully,
T. J. Tkkrai.L,
“Secretary of Senate.”
Charge No. 5. He says I am unfriendly to the press. 1
voted for a bill providing that when a newspaper printed charg
ges against any man that they had to publish his reply. The
most of the press is reputable and do not engage in using the
hammer. My friend Wood, who is editor and publisher of the
Lee County “Courier,” is a very strongman making charges
and using the hammer on those who do not see things his way. He
will make any kind of a charge, or any kind of attack on any
one, dead or alive, and his paper was one of the very few pa
pers in the state who saw fit to criticise the late Senator Davis
after his death. I was for him part of the time and I was
against him part of the time, but I think that every self-respect
ing man thinks it unfair to jump on a man after he is dead,
because of the fact that he cannot any longer defend himself.
Mr. Wood says he did not write the article, and puts it off on his
uncle who is half owner of the paper. When Mr. Wood start
ed in the campaign he published the statement that he was
owner, editor and publisher of the Lee County “Courier” and
later on he says he is half owner and half editor, and if the race
goes on a little longer he and his distinguished uncle would be
trying to deny their paper. He sees that I am going to be
elected and hopes to drive votes away from me by his charges.
Should he succeed in doing this I doubt very much that it would
increase his vote.
I believe in honest and clean politics and a square deal. If
you see fit to support me I will appreciate it very much.
T. J. RANEY.
Candidate For Railroad Commissioner.

OLDFIELDS RECORD
AS CONGRESSMAN
1 (Continued from page 1)
have been defiant of public opin
ion, and legislation has been in
voked to pratect the people from
the arrogant attitude of being
above the law and not subject to
control.
The bill was supported by the
democratic administration, by the
Democratic Congress and by Sena
tor Robinson, who voted for the
bill. Senator Clarke not present
when it reached a vote on its pas
sage, but was paired with a repub
lican who was against it. If Old
field is to be condemned for his
vote for the measure, then it
means the repudiation of Presi
: dent Wilson. Mr. Bryan, Secretary
Lane and all the administration
leaders in Congress, yet Mr. Old
field’s attitude on the bill was en
dorsed personally by Mr Bryan,
who will reproduce in his paper,
the Commoner, Mr. Oldfield’s re
marks on the measure. Any dis
trict has the right to change its
Congressmen every two years, but
the most of them permit their
Congressmen to serve for at least
ten years, especially if their record
is in keeping with the platform
upon which they are elected.
Mr. Oldfield has kept faith with
the people and has been true to
every promise made by him. He is
working in harmony with Presi
dent Wilson and the entire admin
istration at Washington want him
returned because they know he is
safe and sound, true to duty, and
can be depended upon at all times.
1 here is not a single good reas
on why the people should retire
Mr. Oldfield at this time, but there
are any number of good, strong,
logical reasons why he should be
returned to congress.
BERTHA DEFREECE
The Death Angel has visited the
home of W. L. Defreece and called
his dear wife, Bertha, who was 27
years of age. She leaves a husband
two children, father, mother, three

church and was loved by every
one who knew her. She was laid
to rest in the hgner cemetery.
