the initial victory for the United

county was defeated in 1890 was
no more the fault of Crittenden
county, than OF st. Francis county.
rhc same conditions prevailed
here aud there. and the same
causes led TO his defeat in both
counties. At that time the popu-
list party strength had just reached
its highest mark, and they nomi-
mated a man named Hill, who, by
the way, was also from Woodruff
county. Cri,tenden county gave
Hill, the populist candidate, 1902
votes; st. Francis (wc blush to
own I'D gave HIM 1901. All dis
trict candidates of the democratic
party were defeated in Crittenden
county, and the same thing oc-
CARED in st. Francis. So it is
plain 10 us that the charge of dis
loyalty urged against the party in
Crittenden county can no more be
urged against Crlttenden than
against st. Francis county. and We
all know that the swamp democrats
never lose an election when it is
possible 10 win. If the counties
were TO await their turn until
Woodruff elects senator, such a
contingency, 1--WE say it without
meaning reflcction) might keep
Woodruff rext in line until dooms-
day.
Crittenden county no doubt did
the very best she could. She
could not elect Stanley. She only
elected three democratic candidates
IN the county, and they had been
Endorsed by several republican
conventions.
There are several other matters
which baye been urged in this
campaign against Crittendcn's
candidate which are unworthy of
notice, and II is not our con Germ to
discuss them. Such things arc the
natural results OF campaigns, and
they do not liz any manner, so lar
as We can see, effect the merits OF
Crittenden's claim to the nomina
tion.
The Times believes that both
candidates are heightened, honor
able. citizens and as it is stated
above it has no choice between them
as men. But now that the party
IS becoming reunited; that the re-
caleitrant brothers who allied
themselves with the third party
are returning to the ranks, it is
not the part of wisdom to go back
on the traditions of the party, and
break precedent which has stood
unchallenged since the constitu-
ton was made.
We sincerely believe that Crit.
tenden county is entitled to the
senator. Mr.. Berry happens to be
Crittenden's choice and St. Fran.
els should give him the loyal sup
port given its candidate by Crit
tenden IN 1894.

at It's vitals quickest by voting Off
the tax.
The people of the northern eoun-
ties, who are now protected by the
levee, under the present law will
be required to aid in completing
the levee south TO the st. francis
river. They would be very glad,
no doubt. TO have an opportunity
to vote down the levee tax, and
leave the farmers and landowners
of the south end of the levee dis.
trict with "the bag to hold" so to
speak. If this tax question should
be resubmitted it is highly proba-
bic and reasonable TO think that
the residents of the north end
would vote it off.
The idea, however, that any con-
siderable number of residents of
the south end desire 10 vote against
this tax is unreasonable, and it
would be SILLY to give the north
end chance TO do so.
By every principle of common
sense. under the first law of nature,
which is said TO be self-protection,
81
and for many other good and suf-
ficlent reasons, we are bound to
complete the levee to the mouth of
the st. Francis river, or until il
goes beyond and protects US. The
board is accomplishing It's purpose
as rapidly as possible. The system
is in smooth running order, and
there is no friction. The credit of
the board is at par, and they an
tclpate the lax and other revenues
and 1t gives them credit with the
money-bags. This has accom-
pllshed at least seventeen miles of
new levee this year and much re-
pairing. and we are told the levee
will reach Memphis this year sure.
1t may be readily seen that if
the certainty of the tax levy was
In the least mipimized the credit
of the board would be ruined.
If the matter of taxes were to be
resubmitted TO the voters of the
unprotected portion of the district
they would certainly vote for the
tax, or against their best interests,
and the people are not SO silly as
to do the latter. But the moment
the legislature passes such an act,
that same moment is the credit and
stability of the levee board crlp-
pied and perhaps ruined, and the
whole system, and all Its great
cost, will be failure so far as this
county is concerned.
1t seems to The Times to be so
unreasonable, untenable and i'm.
practicable for any man in this
county or anywhere south of the
finished levce to talk about resub-
hitting the levee tax proposition
to the people, thus giving the up
per and protected counties an OPP
portunity to "funk" and, as we
stated above, leave us with the bag
to hold, that we have been con-
strained to write these few lines.
