TO THE VOTERS OF THE 3RD JUDICIAL DISTRICT
Fellow Citizens:
Judge Otis W. Scarborough, in
a circular, has charged that a po
litical trick was worked on the
people hy a proclamation of the
Governor, ordering an election on
September 14, to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Judge
Fulkerson, and intimates that 1
was a party to it.
The simple facts are these: THE
r LAW sets the date of that elec
tion, and NOT the Governor.
Judge Fulkerson’s resignation
was presented to the Governor
August 19, but was not to take
effect until August 24, at 8 o’clock
a. m. The next day he left for
Oklahoma, to reside there.
A commission dated August 24
was received by me on the 20th. I
had thought an election should be
held at the time of the election for
Congressman in November, but on
examining the law I found that
under Article 6, Section 23, of the
Constitution, it was required to be
held at the NEXT GENERAL
ELECTION after the vacancy oc
cured. Monday, August 24th was
the last day a name could be got
on the official ticket. My friends
at once got up a petition, as re
quired by law, no time being left
for a primary election, or conven
tion, or even for a committee meet
ing.
The Governor could not issue a
proclamation until the vacancy ex
isted, August 24th. Judge Scar
borough’s name is on the ticket.
What cause has he to complain?
How did he get his name on the
ticket? As I did, by petittion. How
did he happen to get his petition?
I was in Newport, where he lives,
during the afternoon of August
21st. I publicly stated there, that
the election was required to be
held September 14th by the Con
stituion. I made no secret of it.
I have no polical secrets.
I am informed that his petition
was prepared and signed the next
day, August 22nd. Did he learn
of the election from what I said?
It looks like it. The Supreme
Court has held, that if an election
is fixed by law on a particular date,
the failure of any officer to issue
a proclamation, will not defeat the
right of the voters to elect, and
any one getting any number of
votes, if a majority or a plurality,
would be elected.
Judge Scarborough’s circular
shows a manifest ignorance of the
i provision of the Constitution, on
his part, or a wilful purpose to
misrepresent me and my friends,
and mislead the people.
I leave it the people to deter
! mine who is acting unfairly.
Respectfully,
CHARLES COFFIN.
jSEC. '23, ART. 6, Constitution
of Arkansas:
When any office, from any cause,
may become vacant, and no mode
is provided by the Constitution and
laws for filling such vacancy, the
Governor shall have the power to
I fill the same by issuing a commis
sion, which shall expire when the
person elected to fill such office at
: the next general election shall be
! duly qualified.

sions and four accessions to the churcl
and the meeting was still going oi
when he left. He reports that one o
the matters of chief interest in churcl

There will not he a cent of indebted

of erecting a similar building? Tin
erection of such a building would be i
splendid exemplification of the pro

do much toward giving the town tin
standing it rightly deserved amon>

would be nice to hold the Distric
Conference in a modern new churcl

To Drive Away the
Mail Order Wolf
You can drive him out
quickly if you use the mail
order houses’ own weapon
—advertising. Mail order
concerns are spending
thousands of dollars every
week in order to get trade j
from the home merchants.
Do you think for a minute
tney would keep it up 11
they didn't get the busi
ness? Don’t take it for
granted that every one
within a radius of 25 miles
knows what you have to
sell, and what your prices are. Nine times out of ten your prices
are lower, but the customer is influenced by the up-to-date adver
tising of the mail order house. Every article you advertise should
be described and priced. You nisist tell your story in an inter
esting wav, and when you want to reach tlve buyers of this com
munity use the columns of this paper.
