PRESIDENT HANDY.

The term of Senator Clarke OF
Phillips, who was President of the
Senate, would have expired before
the meeting of the next Legislature,
so some of the hold-over Senators
had to be elected president pro,
tenn, who is also Acknowledgements.
1t is gratifying to us to announce
the fact that Hon. {. {. Handy,
Senator of this district, was elected
on first ballot. The vote stood be-
fore any changes, thirteen for Sena-
tor Handy; twelve for Senator
Hawkins, of Columbia county; three
for Senator Williams, of Pulaski
one for Senator Redwine and one for
Senator Allen. Neither of the last
three named gentlemen were candl-
dates, and before the vote was an
nounced, changes were made III
favor of Handy, giving him eighteen
votes and Hawkins ten.
Senator Handy has proven him
self an energetic and successful! leg
islator, and though new member OF
the Senate, with no previous service
in legislative body, still, he took
rank with the foremost members OF
that body. This exceptionally good
record proves that the people made
no mistake in electing him to repre-
sent them in the State Senate, and
with the prestige gained, we can
reasonably expect better work from
him in future, and that he will take
high rank as legislator Hope
Gazette.
Senator Handy, on the last day of
the last session of the legislature,
was chosen President of the Senate
on the first ballot. This makes him
Lieutenant Governor of the State,
and should GOV. Eagle die, he would
be the Governor. We congratulate
our Senator upon this recognition OF
his worth and ability. He has made
an excellent representative in the up
per branch of our legislature, and
while we have not agreed with him IN
his views on many measures before
that body, we have known always
that he was acting from conviction
of right and what he considered for
the best interest of his people

Mr.. Handy made fine record,
every way, as our Senator. lie in

luton and one constitutional amend
ment, all of which passed the Senate,
excepting one bill. His joint reso-
luton and seven Of the eleven bills
passed both houses and are now a
part of our laws, most of them i'm
portant and of great benefit to the
people of the whole State. No Sen
ator made better record than MIR.

in Congress, will doubtless be made
chairman of the committee on Public
Lands, one of the most important IN
the House. Mr. McRae is clearly

is a member of it, and his services

gressional nomination next time. We

session, but we do not know so much
about that other little affair. The
present incumbent suits the people

awarded this town through his hard

felt will be increased, and no Others

session, at cost of $50, 600, and

make much capital out of it, The
truth is the new constitution it adop-
ted is worth more than it cost; it
provides for railroad regulation by a

form measures. 1t seems Arkansas
will never get railroad regulation by
any Legislature, unless forced by a
campaign with this question as the
main issue.

BEA TEN IN ITS OWN BAILIWICK

The result of the municipal election in
Jacksonville Tuesday night was shock
ing surprise to the ring bosses. The peo-
pie had grown tired of the dictation
Of the Times Union clique and they
smote it upon the cheek. Thus
will it be in state affairs. The backbone
of the animal is broken. It's strength is
gone from it. The people have resumed
their proper places and the moral lepers
at the helm of the Times-Unon have
been chastised will their own lash.
The ticket elected is good one, and
one, too, that will never be the tool of the
Stockton machine. That is why the
Times-Union walls SO agonizingly in it's
issue of Wednesday.
The following are the newly-elected
municipal officials
Mayor-John G.. Cooper.
President of Council-T. w. Roby.
Board of Public Works.. NJ. Schu-
macher
City Attorneys. E. Foster.
Comptroller-E. G. Harris.
Recorder-W. G. West.
Treasurer-W. A. Blsbee.
Municipal Judge-M. N. Belisario.
Market Inspector-W. G. Hawkins.
Marshall. \. Vinzant.
Owing to his being the attorney for par
ties who have cases against the city, Mr..
j. G. Cooper felt that he could not, in JUS
tice to his clients, accept the Office of
mayor and therefore declined. This will
necesstate another election for mayor.

didate for mayor, has, so says the Evening
Telegram, sent in his resignation as mem
