 | He would leave the inferencs on your minds that farmer could better repre-
 sent this county than 3 member Of some other profession. Does it not
 stand to reason and common sense that he can best represent you who is the

 the most good should have the prefer ence. have been raised In this county, and If you know me not 10 be honest, don't vote for me; but on the other hand, If ysu know me to be honest and think l could better serve your inter ests, will be thankful for your Yose,
 whether yoa he Democrat or Republi- can. know that the farmers are The bnlEzrk Of this country, and l would
 ever look after their interests with s vigilsnt eye.
 When we started out Monday morn ing at Gala Rock, my competitor failed
 to mention any legislation we need. l started il. and now he has "csught on 7 and can mention some things, too
 VIII briefly refer po some legislation which think is needed, and will try
 to secure If you honor me with an elec- tion.
 I favor s House Of Correction for young criminals al Little Rock, where they can be kept zrart from the older
 and more hardened criminals Moral l ity and humanity demands that we do
 k. and 1T can bs done without much cost to the State.
 am in favor of changing the time
 of holJing our Circuit Court 10 more convenient season for the people. That | is one question that might mors Bearly } concern myself than any other, yet will lose sight Of self in voting for the I interests and convenience of the ma jorify of the people. 4 voice: IL
 would suit you at any time, wouldn't l itfl Yes, any time would suit me, but
 am sure 1t would suit the great ma jo.ity of the people 10 hold II later in
 summer, and also In fall.
 am also in favor of z change in the law that will allow jurors fees in jus tiee's court. regardless Of whether they reach 2 verdict or not
 am in favor of reducing the assess or's salary. His fees are too much for the work he does. Let them be red uced and I shall be in favor Of economy in all places.
 In regard to school books, am on that section 70 show you how we stand on that question.
 ssWe denOunee the combinations by which the price Of school books is large ly increased above & reasonable cost, and we favor such lsgislstion as will free the people from their grasp, and give school books to the children of the State al reasonable price"
 am In favor of the State taking charge Of and publishing our own school books, If no better way is sug- gesIed. l mentioned this first al G&lIa Rock, and now my competitor comes in and endorses IL all, and further that poor children be supplied free. We'll, accept his amendment and think 1t a very good idea.
 Now, some railroad legislation we need. We need separate coaches for whites and blacks. I do not travel much, probably not near 90 much as some before me, bur when we do trav- el on the railroads, they should be made furnish separate coaches.
 As to freight rates, my opponent has nothing 10 say. They are excessive. and l will try 10 secure reduction. Jay Gould has great monopoly In this State. and charges what he piezses, but I say let the railroad tariff or frsights be reduced.
 In regard to redistricting the State for Congressional purposes I win stand by Democratic principles. l will vote % have it SO arranged that we have a solid Democratic delegation In Con- gress. I will always favor democrats representing democrats, and so long as this is Democratic State. shall favor l it's being represented by democrats
 For United States Senator l will vote 1. for g man who Is a thorough tariff re- rsformer, and in favor of free and | unlimited coinage Of silver, and a man 4 whose democracy and ability Is above 4 question.
 am opposed 10 alien ownership of our lands, and am in favor Of Arkaa- szs men owning Arkansas lands. l would favor a law against any and all grants Of land to any corporation.
 There are other laws I would favor, but my time IS limited and will pass .hem.
