OLDFIELD’S VOTE
ISCOMMENDED
He Stands For Interests of the Peo
ple and in Accord With Demo
cratic National Platform
The following from the Williford
News is a fair sample of what the
newspapers of the district are say
about Congressman Oldfield’s vote
on the Alaskan railroad bill, about
which his opponent is so severely
criticising him.
“This government paid $7,200,
000 for Alaska. It is a great coun
try; rich in gold, silver, copper,
coal, timber, fish and fur products.
The U. S. owns 98 per cent of all
these products in Alaska and 98
per cent of all the land; hence, one
can see at once that it is in the in
terest of the people to build trans
portation in Alaska because the
territory belongs to all the people
and when the railroad is built to
open this great store house, it will
also belong to the people.
“Furthermore, the bill was so
drawn that the territory of Alaska
itself pays for the road out of her
own products as they are mined
and taken to the market.
“Territorial expansion and de
velopment have always had a hard
road to travel. There were many
who said Jefferson’s purchase of
Louisiana was a wild venture, yet
today it is the garden spot of the
nation.
“When Oregon was purchased,
the senate of the U. S. was told
by an illustrious senator that he
would not give “a pinch of snuff
for the whole territory,” which he
described as “a wild gambling
venture.”
“When Will Oldfield voted for
this Alaskan railroad bill he dem
onstrated a high degree of states
manship.
“Such c man as Tom Campbell
would have voted with the other
members of the Arkansas delega
tion in congress against the bill, j
then when running time come
around again, come home and say !
the government was extravagant j
in such matters; that the money I
would be better spent on the pub
lic roads, etc. Now the fact is the
good roads movement has no bet
ter friend in congress than Old
field.
“President Wilson strongly ad
vocated the passage of this bill in
a message to congress early in De
cember. It was also advocated by
Secretary Bryan and Secretary
Lane of the Interior Department;
in fact every member of the cabi
net was for the bill; and it was
supported by the leading Demo
crats in both houses of Congress.
“Now this effort of Tom Camp
bell’s friends to prejudice the peo
ple against Oldfield in this matter
will amount to just about what
Campbell’s buncombe on the fam
ous “Sunk Lands” bill did in the
campaign two years ago.
“It will be remembered that
Tom Campbell carried Randolph
by only a little over 200 votes in
his race two years ago, and he
came within 14 votes of losing his
home town and township. We are
no prophetic political seer, but we
make this prediction: That Will
Oldfield will defeat Tom Campbell
by over ten thousand votes and
come nearer carrying Randolph
county than he did two years ago.”
CONFEDERATES MEET
All old ex Confederates in this
section are requested to meet at
the town hall in Newark on Sat
urday, March 21. The local camp
U. C. V. has some very important
business to attend to, and all mem
bers, and all ex Confederates,
whether members of the local
camp or not, are urged to be pre
sent.
The matter of sending delegates
to the annual re-union at Jackson
vil le, Fla., May 6-8, will be consid
ered.

While, perhaps with many people, the
main object of using Bank Protection for
the odd ends of their income is to accumu

there is a broader and more constructive
principle involved — the building of a Bank

ALEXANDER ENDORSED
I To Whom It May Concern, Greeting:
This is to certify that we have personally known J. H. Alexander
of Newark for several years. He has lived in Newark since 1905.
That we believe him to be a good, moral man, of sober and industri
ous habits. That we think him, as a lawyer, to be true and faithful
| to his clients, and above reproach. That he is able and well qualified
to fill the office of County Representative, and if elected would make
the people a good officer, and take care of the interests of the great
common people. That he carried his township by a good majority
over five good men as his opponents for the Legislature in the pri
mary of 1912, and in justice we believe him much stronger now with
the people than he was then.

LOVEL FOR OVERSEER
J. P. Lovel’s announcement as
a candidate for re-election as road
overseer appears in today’s pa
per.
Mr. Lovel is now serving his
first Teritr and'hav made a good
record as overseer. He has done
some good work on the roads and
has fully demonstatcd his ability
as a road builder. He puts a
great deal of interest in the work
and is doing his best to give the
people value received for every
dollar of their taxes he spends on
the roads. That he has made
good is proven by the fact that
he will have no opposition for re
election.
WILL NOT MOVE COLLEGE
Batesville, March 7.—James P.
Coffin of this city, member of the
Board of Trustees of the Arkansas
College, says the college will not be
moved to Morrilton as has been
rumored for the past two weeks
Mr. Coffin said the main building
built in 1892, was paid for by the
people of Batesville, as had been
agreed by the synod in charge. He
said that in the erection of this
building it was specially mention
ed that the college would remain
in Batesville during its lifetime.
CLEAN UP EARLY
An inch of prevention is worth
a mile of cure! Spring is at hand.
The fly and mosquito will soon be
among us. Now is the time to be
gin to see ways and means for
their destruction. And the sooner
Newark begins to clean up—and
the more thorough the cleaning—
the less we will be infested by the
pests. From their premises, every
citizen should make it their civic
and moral duty to remove every
breeding place of disease germs.
Clean up early.
