Says Solomons Proverbs. "When
the righteous are in authority the
people rejoice.” The United States
A ids that th:s is so, and they are
going to keep on rejoicing, four
years more.
Those who live by their own en
deavors are for Wilson while those
who thrive on the perspiration that
fall from other peoples' brow a re
for Hughes, and he is for them,
you betcha.
The New York Herald, which is
supposed to be independent, is!
supporting Hughes. It is taking a
luge poll of ‘ straw votes" and
those votes show Wilson leading in
more than enough doubtful states
to elect him. So the Herald is
i
trying to explain that "straw
votes” are not infallible, but Wilson
is invincibe.
The New York Herald, a Hughes
supporter. is still taking those
"Straw votes" which show Wilson
1 >ading in Connecticut. New York,
Olio, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin.
Minnesota, Washington, Idaho and
several other states overwhelming
ly reelecting him. After giving
these cold facts to the public, the
Herald takes up about two pages
in a'gument trying to show that
Hughes still is not altogether hope
less.
VOTE AGAINST ACT NO. 2.
Tiie News has published consid
erable matter in opposition to Act
No. 2 because it believes it to be a
very iniquitous and dangerous
measure. If it provided for real
local option it would have more
friends than it now has. but it
doesn't. If passed it will saddle
the saloon on Arkansas under vast
ly worse conditions than those that
existed before the passage of the
prohibition law. as can readily be
seen by anyone who will take the
trouble to read the text of the act.
If you are intending to vote for Act
No. 2. first get a copy of it and
read it through and then if you are
still in favor of it there is not much
more that can be said to you.
Arkansas don't want saloons
back under any conditions, much
less under the provisions of this
law. _
Be sure and go to the polls next
Tuesday and vote.
