Ci.av Sloan, Chairman,
J. H. Townsend, Sec.
SUUK1 DOE’S PLATFORM
Hon. VV. K. Surridgc, who has
served his county four years as
clerk and is now serving his
fourth year as sheriff and collect
or of Lawrence county, is now a
candidate for railroad commission
er for the Northeastern district of
Arkansas. If elected, 1 favor the
■ following reforms by the railroads
: of Arkansas:
I believe that 95 per cent of the
great enmity that exists between
the railroads and the people is
largely brought about through the
discourteous treatment which the
! people receive at the hands of the
railroad station agents, operators
I and train auditors, as these are the
| employes who transact most all of
the business that is done between
I the people and the railroads. 1 ,
think that the railroads are too ex
tortionate in the charges on excess
baggage and storage charges. 1
mean that there should be a dif
ferent restriction on the storage
charges in a person who lives at
the railroad station and one who
lives -miles in the country, as the
: wagon roads might be in bad con
dition, which would prevent the
country merchant or farmer from
removing his freight from the de
pot for a few days. And I promise
if elected, to do all in my power
to regulate this evil. 1 will also
use my official power to force the
railroads to compel their agents,
operators and train auditors to be
more courteous and accomodating
to the public and to enforce the
railroad laws as laid down by our
-tatues, and will at all times work
for the interest of the great mas
ses and the upbuilding of Arkan
sas. Thanking you for your sup
port on the :}(Jth day of March, I
am, Yours very truly,
W. K. Si uimixik.

If You Had an Important Case in
Court, Would You Employ an
Inexperienced Lawyer?
To the Voters of the Third Judicial Circuit: '
On the 30th of March the people will choose some one to fill the
important position of Prosecuting Attorney for the Ihird Judicia
Circuit. The man you choose will have to contend with the best law
talent in the courts, and if he is not able to cope with them, the en
forcement of the criminal laws will be a farce. If you elect a man
inexperienced as a lawyer, his mistakes will thwart Justice and be ex
pensive to the taxpayers.
I reiterate the language of Friend Cunningham: 1 here is no
highway to success as a lawyer except along the rough road of experi
ence, and if you elect a man to office to give him the experience, you
will find you are paying his schooling, which you cannot atlord to
do. If you had an important case in court, would you emplo.\ an
inexperienced lawyer to represent you?
1 contend that our courts are very burdensome to the taxpayers
for the simple reason, too much penny goods get into the Circuit
Court. Cases which should be investigated, if at all, in justice comts,
!should not be commenced in Circuit Court.
Knowing the environments, needs and desires of the people as I
do, I promise, if elected, to carry out to the best of my ability the
genius and spirit of our Constitution, that the strong >ha!l not be the
j Judges and avengers of their real or imaginary wrongs, but all shall
stand equal before the law: and the law shall lie administered without
sale, denial or delay. S. M. Bains.
