the river question. We repeat the assertion IN the
face Of his denial. 1t was only yesterday c'tl-
zen of Fort Smith told us that Clark acould not
get a role in that place. Three days ago We were
informed by citizen of the south side of the RI
YER, that they were, on that side, f" running the
river question:"
Mr.. Carnall says in another part OF his notable
and perspicuous circular, that some of those cir
cuIars are " calling on the north side of the river
to unite on Clark In reply TO this falsehood'
we shall do nothing but publish in this weeks pa.
per the same article on the River Question:
In il will be seen that we deprecate the questions
and throw the responsibility on MIR. CarnalPs
friends on the south side, VINO have been guilty OF
this " misdemeunor" all the time. The following
is the only article that has been published by this
press on the subject
RUNNING THE RIVER QUESTION.
We have, at all times, deprecated the unpro-
ftable and demagoguing practice of running one
side of the river against the other. Our brethren
on the south side of the river fell into that error
in the canvass of 1916. They admitted, after the
election, tha, it was silly question which would
eventually injure them and they gave US 10 I'M
dersland that they would drop it. But again, in
lS4S, the same question was run to the detriment
of those who advocated it.. During the present
canvass, Mr.. Carnails friends are using the same
question, on the south side of the river, TO promote
his election. because he a." lives the south side
of the river" Do his friends reflect that while
they are uniting one section Of the county in this
unnatural position, that they are greatly IN danger
of uniting the north side for Mr.. Clark? They
should remember that opposition begets opposition
that if the south takes stand against the north,
the latter will stand out against the former. And
if such question is run, how many votes can Mr..
Carnal calculate the north side? We repeat
that VIC have always endeavored to stave off such
n ISSUE if it comes up, no part OF the RESPONSE
bty will lie at doors. We have always ac-
vocated the election of men on their merits the
merits of their cause, and " south side - or north
side has never influenced our course.
