says, while unloading his last
charge et' mud. that he can
point to one third class post
master who will be defeated by
Brundidge.
Name him. S. Mml, name
him! The people would like
to hear the name ot' one man
that Brundidge can defeat.
Name him. S. Mud. name
him 1 1 f there is a man in the
State ot Arkansas, whom your
Master Steve can defeat, the
publiction of his name would
be a piece* of real news.
It has been so many long,
long years Sammy, since your
Master Steve has defeated any
one that it would be a relief to
find one man he can defeat
Shoot, Sammy, shoot! (live
us his name quick, for it would
be quite an honor for any man
t o be pointed out now w ith t he
remark that “there's the fellow

Kven with the aid and assist
ance of his horde of hungry
pie hunters like Sammy Mud,
and his faithful gang of poison
spreaders in every county who
labored like slaves in behalf of
their master in spreading vile,
poisonous and slanderous dope
in an effort to create prejudice
against Robinson, and the fur
ther fact that Sammy's Lord
and Master spent several
months campaigning the state
and spoke in almost every
county, while Senator Robinson
did not make a single political
speech—in spite ot all this,
Sammy’s mast it is again in
gloriously defeated for the
’steenth lime—and the pie that
Sammy's hungry, uutstlvtched
palm was iteliing for, turns out
to he only a cake of Mi l).
Alas, says Sammy Mud. 'tis
sad indeed.
Sammy makes a splendid dis
play of his ignorance by quot
ing from the Acts of the Ark
ansas Legislature to show that
the Newark posts ffiee is a sec
ond class office, lie actually
thinks that because the Ark
ansas Legislature passed a law
making Newark a city of the
second class, the Newark post
office is bound to be a second

torated, dense ignorance, Sam
1 my outclasses anything wchave
[ever heard ol’, and he has
shown the real breadth and
depth of his shrunken and
shriveled little mustard seed
! brain. If S. .Viud's wonderful
'brain could be extracted and
placed in a thimble and shook
up. it would rattle like a pewee
I rolling down a marble stairway
'in a vacant twenty story build
j ing.
Sammy Mud has so badl\
!overburdened his puny little
. brain studying the Arkansas
Digest until he actually believe
; the Acts of the Legislature*
< <mt rol 1 he l hivcise.
1'hat worried look on Sam
imv’s face affords unmistakable
evidence of the fact that he has
given grave and serious
thought to the awful question
ol what would become of him
self if the Arkansas Legislature
should repeal the law of grav
itation. for Sammy realizes
that he is such a light weight
Dial he would float off into
space like a fleck of eider
down
And then Sammy .Mud goes
right on and proves what a
real light weight he is by try
ing to compare himself with
John Calhoun. Henry Clay,
Daniel Webster and William
J. Bryan. The greatest re
semblance between these men
and Samuel Mud is the fact
that S. .Mud is a biped and
walks upright. Otherwise lie
is as far beneath and inferior
to these men and as unworthy
of comparison to them as the
specie of familiar hug that
walks backwards down coun
try lanes rolling his burden of
production, is as unworthy to
be classed with the honey bee
that flits from flower to flow
er gathering and garnering the
♦

sweets of Nature.
Yea, verily, it is a far cry
from T. Bug to Honey Bee, and
yet is only as a span of the
fingers in comparison to the
impossible distance that lies
between Samuel .Mud anil the
brilliant men to whom this hu
man wart would compare him
self.
And whili attempting to
immortalize himself because lie
was defeat'd for p os> cuting
attorney, he show,-. lh< incon
sistenc\ of his puny, shriveled
and putrid little brain b\ at
tempting to show that we were
forever disgraced by having
once been defeated for school
director. But that is the Casey
brand of consistency defeat
imortalizts Casey and dis
graces us—more unmistakable
evidence that we properly clas
sified him when we named him
;ts a close relative of the before
mentioned bug that inhabits
country lanes
He adds another to his long
list of falsehoods by' stating
that we were defeated for
town alderman. \Ye have serv
ed one term as town recorder,
one term as town treasurer and
three terms as alderman, and
was never delated for aider
man. But what does Samuel
Mud care for telling a lie? It
has become second nature
with him, and it was this pe
culiar characteristic that so
well qualified him for the po
sition of official poison-spread
er for his master during the
recent campaign
Sammy .Mud complains that
we publish The Journal for our
personal benefit. Sammy is
certainly a bright boy.
In whose interest does the
little wart think we would pub
lish it?
In whose interest docs lie
run his filthy little law office? i
Is it any worse for us to pub- '
lish this paper tor our person- '
al interest than it is for S. Mud 1
tn run his filthy little law office -
iin his own interest?
To say the least of it, we *
have never stooped so low as 1
be a party to shielding'
bootleggers and criminals I mm j
punishment at the hands ot ,
'justice. We make in preten
l. ms at being a goody-goody
... ri of creature, but vve cun
sleep soundly at night and sul
fcr no lashings fmm our con
science for having distorted
th. truth in an eft on to
ihi.iwl justice and prevent a
righteous enforcement of the
law. and we have never tor
a few paltry dollars sold our-,
s. It. body and mind, to a law
breaker for the purpose of
turning loose upon the good
citizens of the county a crimi
nal that ought to he in the'
penitentiary.
We may be a little shy on
cash but our sense of honor
rises to greater heights than
that.

jroceed again about its noimal

tow, centers largely in the win.i
hue' ot the war and in tht
carious activities designed to
Tin her that cause.
It has been a peculiar cam
paign in some respects . It has;
not been a popular campaign,
in the sense that the people
:hemselvcs have beeore little
excited over it
It has been harder work to
arouse the interest ot the pub
lic although during the Iasi
two weeks, there had been
more nr less Mmsational devel
opments in certain contests
which will account for the
large vott Tuesday. 1 he ap
peal ams f the woman voter]
for the first time is another
element that will greatly in
crease the size of the vote cast.
lief on the time for another
election i f the will of t he l 'ou
st itutnmal < mventi n shouht
prevail, the organic law of the
state will provide for quadren

been against'Too nun hpolitics"

usually busy, served to keep
many voters away from the
polls, and many ol the farm
ers who voted did so at a sac
rifice. This feature of the ne\
law was written into the 1 tv
for the specific purpose of
eliminating the farmer vote as
much as possible and it is a
fitting rebuke to its author that
he was defeated by the very
people whom he sought to
eliminate from partcpation in
our elections. This final de
feat means that Brundidge is
permanently out of politics and
it is well for the people that it
is so. The man who would
throttle a free and full expres
sion of the will of the people is
never a safe man to trust with
authority.
DON’T GLOOM OUR BOYS
IN THE ARMY.
If you have any regard for
the boys in the army, don’t
write gloomy letters Keep the
clouds out of your correspon
dence. and let it breathe
naught but sunshine and cheer.
If doubts assail you, keep them
to yourself and give the soldier
boy letters breathing optimism
and confidence. 1!’ family wor
ries and cares beset you re
member that his care is infi
nitely greater than your own.
Your burden is a personal one.

the hei oes wh : art1 upholding

;than any otl. r agency. And
gloomy fm .odings and wail
' ings will as surely retard if me
defeat us. Your boy should
hear none hut good news from
home Unless it lie absoluteh
necessary. Not that his love
and devotion is any less than
' ot old. rather greater. This
he is proving by his presence
<>n the battle front. But his
one supreme thought now is to
