II wish to call your attention to the
fact that there are three parties af-

and the general public. ! speak for
neither the operators nor the miners,
but for the general public. The ques-

but the situation itself vitality affects
the public. As long as there seemed to
be reasonable hope that these mat

pei me, after much anxious thought,
to believe that my duty re-

intolerable. / wish to emphasize the

that its gravity is such that l am con-
strained urgently to insist that each
one of you realize the heavy burden of
responsibility upon him. We are upon
the threshold of winter with an already
existing coal famine the future ter

reaching, SO appalling, that it seems to
me that you are not only justified in
sinking but required to sink for the

situation imperatively requires that
you meet upon the common plane of
the necessities of the public. With all
the earnestness there is in me ask
that there be an immediate resumption
of operations in the coal mines in

CLOSING OF CAMPAIGN.

Little Rock, Aug. 31-The joint
 political campaign which has been
 carried on in Arkansas since the
 opening, July 25, at Stuttgart, be-
 tween Gov. Davis and H. H. Myers,
 democratic and republican candidates
 for governor respectively, closed to-
 night at West End Park, in this city,
 in the presence of about 5000 people.
 Governor Davis was introduced by
 Chairman Armstrong. He accused
 the democrats of Pulaski county of
 having been remiss in their duty to the
 party. Early in his speech, when he
 became very personal, the crowd in- terrupted him so that he continued with difficulty and the police were called into the grand stand to pre- serve order "Go back and soak l your heads, you little pie eatersn | shouted the governor. He called MT. | Myers ia cross between Methodist
 preacher and Jew,' and interlarded
 his speech with epithets of 'mur
 derers,' "cut- -throats, " "robbers" and
 ''looters." He charged that H. L. Remmel was kicked out of office for corruption" and made bitter attacks on all republican leaders. Behind Myers he said he saw the grim visage of one armed man from Mexico, Ambassador Clayton who came to ( Arkansas with a bowie knife in one hand and carpet bag in the other, t leaving behind a trail of blood and $ misery. |
