ers. Mr.. Toney said he didn't know

ing the ticket had no opposition. It
would say to the new city admins
tration that they have the support of
the people in their efforts to admin
ister the affairs of the city.
Gen. H. King White, the nominee
for mayor, was the last speaker, and
he made a very catchy talk He spoke
Of the disgraceful public buildings of
the city, and said that all Pine Bluff
wanted was to be turned loose by
the constitution of the state. The peo-
pie were willing to tax themselves for
good streets, decent public buildings
and other Improvements if they were
Cnly permitted to do so. He called up
on Senator Caldwell and Representa-
they could to turn Pine Bluff loose and
give the town chance to spread it
self.
As to the matter of appointive posi-
tons, Gen. White said he had placed
the selection of a chief Of police in tie
hands of a committee of thirty repre-
sentative citizens. and he added that
no appointee Of the city could hO'd
a lob except as he devoted his whole
time to the duties CT tie place; that
every day he must do full day.;
work for the city, and when it reach
ed point in the city affairs that the
time CT an appointee was not need
ed by the city. the position would be
abolished and the salary shut off.
He said that with the cooperation Of
Judge Phillips Re was geine ia filt

one from the east to the west boun-
Diary and one from the river to the
south boundary. making total OF sin
ty-three blocks; that no asphalt
streets would be attempted, as they
"ere too expensiNa, but macadam
streets would he made. He spoke Of
one a3oGen bridge that had cost the
city S11. 800 since his term as mayor
several years ago, and there was no
bridge at that place today-only
few patches of wood work-and that
during his entire coming term as may
or he intended to vigorously oppose
the putting of piece of wood into
the construction cf bridge He said
that he was going to strive hard to
give the city an upward start that
would go on in the future and make
of Pine Bluff the handsomest and most
progressive city in Arkansas.
