HON CREED C4LDWELL

We are authorized to announce Hon. Greed Caldwell as a candidate for the State Senate from this, the Eleventh Senatorial District of tbe State. Mir Caldwell was one of the Representatives from Jefferson county in the lower house of the last General Assembly, aud distin- guished himself more, perhaps, than any other Representative from Jef- ferson county during that session. It will be remembered that after Attorney General Jeff Davis radl. cal and irrational construction Of the antitrust bill that Mir. Cald dwell, i, iu response to the wishes of the business element of ttis city, voted for an amendment to the bill which would make the decision of the At- torrey General null and void and of no effect. During the business men's convention in Little Rock, called to protest against the Attor- ney Generals ruling. Mr. Caldwell delivered a notable address that elicited the applause of his hearers. It will also be remem 5ered, to Mir
 Caldwell's credit, that during his term he secured the eaaetment af ! law authorizing the purchase by counties of their bonded indebted. ness, which law will save sl5,000 to the people of this county in the course of few years. He proved himself in every way a progressive legislator and worked at all times for the enactment of laws that would induce capital to come to Arkansas and furnish employment for labor. For first term men4oer it mus ss admitted that Mr. Cald- well n mas, very fair record, and should ne be advanced ta the Sen

BY a DIRECT TOTE.

For some time there has been con siderable agitation in this country of the subject of amending our Ma. tional Constitution so as to provide for the election of United States Senators by Q direct vote Of the peo pie. The too frequent debaueh of legislators by wealthy aspirants whose greatest, and sometimes only, qualifications for such aL exalted office is their money bags, and the k frequent miscarriage of public sen- iment, as was recently witnessed in California aud Montana aud Ken
 eky, are largely responsible for 4he great number of adherents of the proposition. Such an amend ment would involve a radical and perhaps dangerous change in our system of Federal Unlon, and it has in opposition some of the wisest statesmen and ablest law Yers in the country.
 As result Of this agitation an

innovation has been adopted by many of the States, which largely aocompl:shes the purpose of select, ing Senators by popular vote without involving any change in the fundamental law of the Nation.
 This is by the primary system, or that method which permits tbe voter to register his choice by popu- lar ballot. For several years this has been the custom ia Illinois, in fact ever since the famous Lincoln and Douglass campaign for the Sena1orship It has also been adopted by other States, and was also the method employed in the last Senatorial campaign in Arkan. sas.
 Another Senatorial contest IS now on in Arkansas, with Senator J. H. Berry, the present incumbent, and Gov Dan ". Jones as the con- testants. Each of these distin. guished gentlemen has expressed himself as being favorable to the primary system and that plan has been adopted by large number of the counties of this State.
 But the Jefferson County Demo- cratic Central Committee at it's last meeting, in calling a primary for March 14th, failed to provide for populalar vote on the Senatorship However, as the committee meets again on the 27th inst, this defect may be remedied, and Senatorial primary ordered. This, at all events, should be done. It would be nothing more than justice to the Legislative aspiraqts from this county who do nos desire to diserim- mate ih so delicate and dangerous a matter There is DO disputipg the fact tbat there is an overwhelming sentiment in this county for Senator Berry. Moreover, there is no disput ing the fact that there is 8 well aefin- ed purpose among certain Tf6g politi- eians in this ee.2atyfto pay certain e,5lftfcal obligations to Gov Dan ", Jones by giving him the vote of this county in the next Legislature. This can only be accomplished by stitiing an expression from the peo- pie of this county.
 Outside of ring circles, there are not a hundred Jones men in Jeffer- con county, ard the people should see to it that their voices and votes are not stihed, nor their sentiments misrepresented,
 Therefore let the Democratic vot- CTS of the county insist that the County Central Committe, at its meeting on the 27th inst, sha! or. der primary for the selection of United States Senator, as well as county officers.

They tell story on the Right Hon
orable Mr. Morrill,, lawyer "They"
insist on not having their names pub
lished, but they are the whole neigh
borhood.
1t happened Wednesday night as he
was coming home from making a
fusion speech out in the country, He
had wrestled with the octopus, boxed
with the red dragon, whipped the dunn
my of Militarism and knocked the
crown off the empire.
No wonder he saw things
AS he approached his home on north
Washington avenue ,he saw light
flash and disappear in his home.
Burglars He hurried across the
street, yelling at the top of his lungs
until the echo was hurled back from
n eighboring houses.
Burglars Thieves Murder
Help !"
The whole neighborhood heard and
a pajama and robe de mutt brigade
came streaming from every direction.
Morrill, was dancing around his
house and before anyone could do
anything he tore off down town to get
the police. He ran and brought a
whole brigade back on a run.
In the meantime poor Mrs. Morrill,
was alone in the house shivering with
fear and wondering what awful things
this uproar portended The daring
husband had left her to the mercy of
the burglar.
When the whole neighborhood and
the police collected Mrs. Morrill, was
hastily rescued from the house by a
side window and then an assault was
made on the front door.
No burglar was found. Matches
were scratched and a thorough search
made in closets, under beds and under
porches. Had there been a dozen
burglars they could all have escaped
by the back door. But there were
none. II was the workings of an
active imagination fresh from a
fusion rally. 1t will require several
days before the echoes of Mr.. Nor.
> rill's whoops win die away.
