Moore's Record Stands
Closest Investigation
The voters of Independence
county should not be misled by
the false and slanderous
charges that are being circula
ted against Hon. S. A. Moore,
one of the Democratic nomi
nees for representative.
These false reports were
manufactured especially for
campaign purposes and are ab
solutely without foundation.
If the charges that are being
made against Mr. Moore were
true, they would have come to
light long ago.
The county has no better
citizens than S. A. Moore. Peo
ple who have been intimately
associated with him since he
came to the county, and those
who have had business rel
ations with him, readily testify
to this fact.
The dirty attack that is be
ing made upon him by the soc
ialist candidate is beneath the
dignity of a man of legislative
caliber.
a man wno win scoop to
such mud-slinging methods is
not capable of intelligently rep
resenting the people of Inde
pendence county.
If those of that discontented
element who are supporting
the Socialist ticket are sincere
in their desire to bring about
any reforms or secure any rb
medial legislation, they stand
in a worse attitude with that
ticket elected than they are
now.
A Socialist in the legislature
from Independence county
would result in Independence
county being denied anything
and everything it might seek.
A man of mediocre ability
and antagonistic to the domi-1
nant party, would be worse
than no representative in the
legislature.
It requires a man of some
ability to accomplish anything
in the legislature.
Fortunately, both of the
Democratic nominees are men
of experience in legislative mat
ters, each having served a term
as representatives in the Gen
eral Assembly, and both have
splendid records to theircredit.
Why did not the Socialist
candidate attack Mr. Moore's
record in the legislature, if it
was not in accord with the best
interests of the people, instead
of stooping to the contemptible
methods of the mudslinger, in
an endeavor to besmirch Mr.
Moore’s personal character?
Because he knew it could not
bo done. That’s why.
And because it is so much
easier for a man of his type to
sling mud and play the dema
gogue in an effort to prejudice
and mislead the people, he re
ported to his natural inclina
tino of mudslinging in prefer
ence to an intelligent discus
sion of any real issues that
might arise.
The highest recognition of
Mr. Moore’s ability, and a
njark of his standing and in-1
fluence as a member of the
legislature's shown by the fact
that while a member of that
body he served on some of the
most important committees in
the House; among them being
the Judiciary Committee, the
Committee on Constitutional
Amendments, the Committee
on Charitable Institutions, the
Committee on Railroads, and
other important committees
to whom practically all the im
portant bills are referred.
Mr. Moore performed a last
ing service to the farmers of
the state by framing and secur
ing the passage of the present
anti-futures law which prevents
gambling in cotton, grain and
other agricultural products in
Arkansas.
This act alone should cause
every farmer in Independence
county to rally to his support.
He has fully proven that he is
a friend of (he farmer, and is
a friend whose friendship is
worth something1 to them.
Mr. Moore was instrumental
in the passage of a number of
other good and wholesome
laws, and not a single time was
his vote cast against the best
interests of the common peo
ple.
Mr. Moore’s ability and in
tegrity are unquestioned, and
his presence in the legislature
would be worth something to
i ndependenee county. He should
be given the hearty support.not
only of every Democrat but of
every right thinking citizen of
ihe county, regardless of par
ty affiliations, who stands for
the high-minded things neces
sary for the material progress
of our countv and state.
/
President Wilson is criticised
because he favored the 8 hour
law and prevented the big
strike. Had the strike come, all
business would have been tied
up, and the markets destroyed.
Harm products could have been
bought by big monied men only
who were able to hold them.
We would have had a repiti
tion of 191 !, when the war de
stroyed the market, and specu
lators had their own way. Rut
Wilson prevented the strike;
markets are open anti prices
:ire good. Wilson did it.
One way to be sure of having
anything you want is never to
want what you can’t get.
You Need a Tonic
There are times in every woman’s life when she
needs a tonic to help her over the hard places.
When that time comes to you, you know what tonic
to take— Cardin, the woman’s tonic. Cardui is com
posed of purely vegetable ingredients, which act
gently, yet surely, on the weakened womanly organs,
"~'4 helps *- ....
and helps build them back to strength and health.
It has benefited thousands and thousands of weak,
ailing women in its past half century of wonderful
success, and it will do the same for you.
You can’t make a mistake in taking
The Woman’s Tonic
Miss Amelia Wilson, R. F. D. No. 4, Alma, Ark.,
says: ‘ 1 think Cardui is the greatest medicine on earth,
for women. Before 1 began to take Cardui, 1 was
so weak and nervous, and had such awful dizzy
spells and a poor appetite. Now I feel as well and
as strong as 1 ever did, and can eat most anything.”
Begin taking Cardui today. Sold by all dealers.

Necessity of Supporting
Your Home Paper
The price of blank news
print paper is now more than
three times as high as it was a
year ago, and is still advancing.
Every newspaper publisher
in the country is now endeav
oring in some manner to meet
this increase in cost through
some channel of his business.
Every paper in the country
is facing a situation perilous to
its existence, and it is up to the
towns that those papers have
given such substantial aid to
their upbuilding, to now stand
by their home papers and give
them the advertising patronage
and support they are entitled
to.
No town wants to be with
out a paper, no real live busi
ness man would want to re
main long in a town that did
not have a paper, and any line
of business will hesitate before
investing in a town that has no
paper to represent its interests.
But many towns will, in the
near future, have a paper
greatly reduced in size or be
without one, if the business
men do not give the support
that is essential to the life of
newspaper business.
Only those papers that are
being liberally supported by
their towns and have their ad
vertising and subscription ac
counts promptly paid will be
able to survive till the paper
situation has been relieved,and
prices again become normal.
The men on the Democratic
ticket in Independence county
are among the county’s best
citizens. They are good men,
fully capable of filling the re
spective offices for which they
have been nominated and were
fairly nominated in a clean and
honest primary. Under these
conditions it is the duty, and
should be the pleasure of ev
ery Democrat, to vote the tick
et straight from top to bottom.
People who claim that Act
No. 2 is a local option measure,
do so only to deceive the vot
ers. It is not local option; it
is an act to put a saloon in ev
ery town of 500 inhabitants in
Arkansas.
Every Democrat in the coun
ty should go to the polls next
1 uesday and vote the Demo
cratic ticket from President
down to road overseer.
A vote against Act No. 2 is a
vote for good government and
for the moral and material pro
gress of Arkansas.

Is Not All That Good
ADVERTISING
ACCOM P LIS HES
II an individual is to cultivate his personal friend
1 .ships he must keep in touch with his friends. As Dr.
I Johnson puts it, we must keep our friendships in const
f ant repair.”
? It is so with a merchant. Through his advertising
* he is enabled to keep in communication with his store’s
patrons and friends. He gives them the new facts about
his offerings. Sometimes he tells them of special op
[ portunities he has created through which they may
save money in needed purchases. These advertisements
of “special sales” may usually be relied upon to stimu
late business—to make quick turnovers of stocks which
have accumulated.
Hut the store’s advertising does more than to ac
complish clearances, or to speed up sales of particular
lines of goods. It repairs and cements store-friend
ships. The slightly “peeved” customer, who may be
holding a mild grievance, is won back through the in
fluence of advertising which makes the store’s policies
imdeistood. I he man or the woman who may have de
cided that, for some reason unknown to the merchant,
they will transfer their trading to some other store, be
comes interested in a special offering made in the ad
yertisements ol the innocent offender, and comes back
to the first allegiance.
Advertising affords the means of holding waver
ing friendships. And that is a task facing every mer
chant-—and more important than the immediate sale.
