SENATOR ALEXANDER
FOR CONGRESS.
In this issue will be found
the formal announcement of
Senator E. E. Alexander, of
tins city, as a candidate for
Congress.
It has been known for some
time that the Senator would
make such announcement, and
Mice tne first Intimation that
this was likely Senator Alex
ander has received innumer
able pledges for support from
over the county nnd district.
Probably never in the history
of the district has there,
seemingly, been such a spon
taneous proffer of support for
a candidate for this office as
Senator Alexander has re
ceived. For months a special
stenographer has been busy
answering these letters of
political and personal friends
all over the district, asking
hat they might do to further
his candidacy, and his friepds
here visit his office and meet
Plm °h the street and inquire
!f ™ere is anything they can
.0 help in the way of get
ting out his work.

ee .lust as active to

district gets what it wants,
and that is why we send con
gressmen to congress—to get
what we want.
At home Senator Alexan
der is deservedly popular
with all classes because of this
spirit and a willingness to
help his friends, his people, in
any way possible. His offices
are rarely ever closed and
most always filled with peo
ple wanting some sort of help
which he never denies if
within his power to render
aid.
Senator Alexander first of
all is a lawyer and it requires
a lawyer to make laws. He
is as active and as well in
formed as any member of the
local bar, and is always busy
in the several courts. Sec
ondly, he is a “mixer” who
takes a back seat for nobody.
He has the happy faculty of
knowing a man once he meets
him, and this goes a long ways
in politics. The men in the I
ranks like for their officers to
I know them when g they meet
j them, but this is not neces-j
sarily a qualification.
Senator Alexander is amply
qualified for the office which
he seeks. He has been a
close student of the needs ofi
the people, not only as a state
and nation, but as a district.
The First Arkansas district
needs many things which we!
could get that would push us
1 to the front in many ways, and
the friends wHo are espousing
the candidacy of Senator Alex-|
ander believe he is better
able to get these things for
his district than any man in
the district. It is enough to
i say that he would “do his
| durndest,” which ordinarily i
! gets results if the fellow will
I Jfeep at the job, as Alexan
| der usually does. While con
| gress is a big body, the fellow
who keeps everlastingly at a
task makes progress event
ually. This was proven by
Mr. Alexander while in the
senate and also in the house.
He got things for his district
which helped the district and
that is what his constituents
most desired.

Af fVi a
claim that he knows how to
legislate for his district and
the people, the Alexander
road law is a standing senti
nel. This law, which was
compiled, fathered and put
through the legislature, has
run the gauntlet of the su
preme court, and without
doubt is one of the best laws
ever placed on the Arkansas
statute. It has done more for
good roads than any other law
ever passed in this state, if, in
fact, it was not largely re
sposible for the good roads
sentiment which is now sweep
ing the state and resulting in
the construction of more hayd
roads and better roads than
the state ever hoped to see
under construction a few
years ago. This law has been
praised by all, not only in
Arkansas but in national good
roads conventions and among
good roads advocates every
where.
