WHY VIE ARE FOR PISHBACE. :"
The Fart Smith Elevator Gives It's
 Reasons for Supporting Him.
For the United States Senate-What He Has AccOm plished for the state.
From the Fort Smith Elevator,

with reporters, said: Upon assuming the office of governor promised the peo- pie to use the influence attaching to the position in an effort to bring Arkansas to the front of her sister states. 4 have done SC. 1 now aspire to the Uniied States sen ste, because believe can do more for the state in such position. II shall not. and 1 hope no friend of | mine will. utter single word in disparage- ment of Senator Berry. If the people think | he can do more than myself to advance the higher interests of Arkansas, it Is their duty to give him a third term. If. on tn l other hand, they believe that I could ds more for the state than he, have a right to expect their support. 1t is question Gf patriotic duty to our state, and aR quite content to leave it to the intelligent patriotism of the people,"
 This Is characteristic of the man. He has spent all his life in trying to build up his stste and city, and Senator Berry has himself said in two public addresses alluding to the nearly twenty millions of dollars saved to the state by the Fishback 'Fishback has done more for Arkansas and received less than any man in the state."
 | Senator Bepry has sreceivednearly seventy thousand dollars from the state and na- tienai treasuries, during nearly twenty years he has been in office, while Fishback in behalf of the state has paid out more than he has received. kut,this Is not our reason for supporting him.
 There is no difference between Governor Tishback and Senator Berry on political auestions, except the Hatch bill. Berry voted against this bill Governor Fish back favored 1t, aud says that the price of cotton will keep down until we abolish that cotton exchange in New York. l But this is not why we are for Governor Fish5ack. We are for him because we be- i Iieve it to the interest of Arkansas to send him to the senate.
 Senator Berry hes been judge for four years, governor for two, and senator nearly ten years-nearly two terms -and he has done all he could. Rnt who will not ad- init that GaverAor Fishbaok has used the very first short opportunity the people have given him to advance the interest of the state, so wisely aud we'll that the whole United States are recognizing his ability I and worth.
 He is the first and only governor from Arkansas ever invited by the national Democratic committee to canvass the Northern and Eastern states in presiden- tial campaign. His speeches elicitei uni- versal applause. A distinguished citizen o< Brooklyn, N. Y.. pronounced his speech in that city the best he ever heard on the tariff. "and," said he, Fl have heard Mills. Carlisle, and all tke other big guns" l The Nashville American said of his speech there, Tt is a pity we do not have more such speakers in this coHntry.D | His Southern governor s convention. of. which he was nladespresident, attracted the attention sef the world to the South, and especially to Arkansas, whose governor
 was thus aa0nOred.
 The Washington correspondent of The Globe Democrat the. other day, said that this convention is yielding and going ta yield richer harvest than the South dreams of, or is prepared for.r I He wrote letter last spring in regard te the improvement of inc Mississippi river and it's tributaries, and at once sixty Iead4 ing business men. through this committed, invited Governor Fishback to come to St. Louis in November to deliver speech oR the same subject. to be laid before con- gross, in their effort to get the river im~ pr0yed. This-coming from 6 state having
 such able senators and congressman as
 Missouri, is compliment of which all Arkansas should be proud
 In response to request from Harpers'
 Weekly he wrote d letter to that journal in reply to those who were slandering the
 South in regard to our lack of educational facilities. which startled the whole press Of the country with its statistics. Of this
 letter, The Memphis Appeal-Avalanche |said. sit is a pity we do not have mere snch men in the South as Governor Fi.hr back, to whom the thanks of all the South [ern states are due.' The Memphis Com mercial says: Governor Fishback is one of the foremost statesmen in the Soath'p Even The Inter Ocean, of Chicago, said:
 ''ArkansaS is coming te the front faster than any other Southern state.n
 He wrote letter to the president upon
 the Indian Territory which has set not on ly congress but the press of the whole country to discussing it. Finally he wrote letter in reply to Kansas City cap itaiists. in which he gave such a graphic description of the resources of Arkansas
 that capitalists both in this country ant Europe have sent for copies that they may
 learn more of our wonderful state. Ex- Governor Eagle said of this letter, ''that 1t should be sent all over the world" We lyerily believe that if we send Governor Fishback to the senate. and put him in touch and influence with capitalists all over the world. he will be worth tive nty millions to Arkansas within the next five years. Every man and woman in, ,tis
 state is interested in sending him to tie senate.
 l We are for him. then because we are for Arkansas. before any individual. nu
 matter how clever he may be.
