"I
Defeat of Ring-Politics
Near at Hand
To the Voters of Arkansas
T have undertaken a serious
task, that of burying the ring
politicians of Arkansas so deep
that for four years at least
they will be unable to come to
life. I started the fight on the
Little Rock gang, and 1 do not
intend to desist until it is over
whelmingly defeated. From
reports current throughout the j
state, the ring candidate,
Smead Powell, ana his chief
supporters, Frank Pace, Wal
lace Davis and Governor Brou
gh, are slipping so fast that
they have become thoroughly
dejected.
There are nine active candi
dates, eight of whom live in'
the same section of the state,;
in fact, two of them in the!
same town. Included in the
South Arkansas delegation are:
several men who would make
good governors, but they are
busy defeating themselves,
leaving me an almost open i
field.
With a sweeping vote from
north Arkansas, I have been
assured that I will get a good
ly share of the votes in south
Arkansas, despite the fact that
Ilaynie, McRae, Terral, Riggs,
Wells and Powell all live in
that section. To the voters
who oppose ring-machine poli
tics, I appeal to help me in
sure political death and burial
for this Little Rock controlled
ring. Do not waste your vote
on some candidate who can not
beat the Powell-Davis-Pace
Brcugh ring.
If I am elected Governor, I
promise a resurrection of the
long-lost business administra
tion of state affairs. There will
be no pardon-brokbrs. There
will be a general house-clean
ing, resulting in sweeping out
many useless jobs- I lurther
promise to veto ' any special
legislative act involving taxa
tion, which does not provide
that it shall not become effect
ive until submitted to and ap
proved by the property own
ers who pay the bills.
Those who do not know me
personally, I refer to any of
the best citizens of my old
ongressional district, the 3rd,
which I represented for ten
years, I want you to look up
my official record and ascer
tain for yourself whether I did
my full duty, I want you to
investigate my public life to
see if it has been clean. I in
vite my opponents to delve in
to my private and public life
and if they find anything the
people should know before vot
ing for me. to publish it broad
cast.
Help North Arkansas elect
the next Governor.
J. C. FLOYD of Yellville.
Candidate for Governor.

NINTH EPISODE OF
THE BLACK SECRET
Standing over the body of
the German cny who had posed
as Alexander Grey of the Unit
ed StatesSecret Service, Evelyn
Erith and Kay McKay read the
note they took from between
the fingers of the dead man.
It is signed by “Ilotehskin” and
is addresed to Grey, reading
as follows:
“After accomplishing your
mission with the enemy, report
to the cottage of Fraulein
Graf, and introduce yourself
with this note signed by me
She will then give you instruc
tions for making your way to
the Great Secret.”
Immediately the two start
through the woods on the way
i t Fraulein Graf’s cottage
In the cottage a short dis
tar- > away, Ilelsa Graf has
said good-bye to her lover,
Lieutenant Alec Hochstim, less
than an hour before. He had
told her he was to discard his
German uniform for the garb
nf a hunter, assuming the
name of Alexander Grey in or
ler to catch two American
'pies who endangered the
Great Secret. He had showed
her the note addressed to Grey
and signed by Hochstim, and
had bandaged his hand with a
bit of gauze stained with the
blood of a chicken he had kill
ed in the yard. His uniform
coat had been hung near the
door, and it bore a bloodstain
from Hie dead chicken. Then
he had kissed her good-bye.
Now she was baking some
cook'es for him, interrupting
her work long enough to go tc
a ,-pring nearby for water. On
the way back, she kneels at a
toadside shrine to pray for hei
lover and his safety, and £

Health
About
Gone
Many thousands of
women suffering from
womanly trouble, have
been benefited by the use
of Cardui, the woman’s
tonic, according to letters
we receive, similar to this
one from Mrs. Z. V. Spell,
of llayne, N.C. “I could
not stand on my feet, and
just suffered terribly,”
she says. ‘‘As my suf
fering was so great, and
he had tried other reme
dies, Dr. - had us
get Cardui. . . 1 began
improving, and it cured
me. 1 know, and my
doctor knows, what Car
dui did for me, for my
nerves and health were
about gone.”
TAKE
The Woman’s Tonic
She writes further: 41 I
am in splendid health . . .
can do my work. I feel I
owe it to Cardui, for I was
in dreadful condition.”
If you are nervous, run
down and weak, or suffer
from headache, backache,
etc., every month, try
Cardui. Thousands of
women praise this medi
cine for the good it has
done them, and many
physicians who have used
Cardui successfully with
their women patients, for
years, endorse this medi
cine. Think what it means
to be in splendid health,
like Mrs. Spell. Give
Cardui a trial.
