TrIA- The current ISSUE u
ALLEGED the Prescott Graphic,
DEAL under the caption OF
Not True" has the
following to say with reference TO
a political deal alleged to have been
made by Hon. r. C. McRae, Senator
Clarke and Gov. Davis:
"TLe article recently appearing IN
the Little Rock Democrat, Pine Bluff
Graphic and Arkadelphia Standard, to
the effect that there was a compact
made last year between Gov. Davis
and Hon T. c. McRae, by the terms
of which McRae was to support Da-
Wis and Clarke, in consideration or
which Davis would support MeRae for
governor ilh tne coming campaign,
does not in any degree state facts.
No such agreement was made-and
those VINO know McRae are sure that
he is too honest to enter into any such
trade and too truthful to deny it is he
did. McRae acknowledges Davis,
right to run for governor so far as he
is concerned and it is not improb-
able that Mr.. McRae may yield to the
irnaense pressure brought to bear
upon him from all parts OF the state
and also enter the race"
The charge that such a deal had
been made by McRae Clarke and Da-
Wis was originally printed in the
Graphic while the campaign for gov
e~ror and United States senator was
on. and it was made upon what the
Gcaphic considered then and consid-
ers now to be good authority.
One OF the stanchest friends Tom
McRae has in Jefferson county was
Clarke supporter. When asked why
he was supporting Clarke and Davis
instead of Jones and Rector he said:
81 am for Tom McRae, not for
Clarke and Davis. would support
Tom for any Office he seeks against
most any man who could offer against
him. have no choice much between
Clarke and Jones. but l would ike
to see Rector defeat Davis, though
an, supporting Clarke and Davis.
However. il is because Clarke and Da-
Wis have agreed to support McRae 1or
governor that am swallowing Jen
Davis. That is the deal. and it is BE-
cause of that deal to make Tom gov
ernor that | am for Clarke and Da-
Wis and not because | prefer them
to Jones and Rector. want to help
Tom. and feel that can do IL best
nv supporting the Clarke-Davls com
bine, because they are pledged to Tom
for governor.
On the foregoing statement the
Graphic rladc he charge that there
was deal. Mr.. McRae's friend
spoke as if he knew what ne was
talking about He is a good politician
and a highly respected citizen, and
the Graphic knows that Mr., McHae
has no better friend in Jefferson couh-
" than the gentleman quoted as au-
thcrity for being just such deal
as the Prescott paper denies.

erS are having mucn
to say about the Gisfranchisement OF
the negro voter.
To sum it up in brief, out of the
total colored voting population, per-
haps 25 per cent, distributed through
out thirtyfour states, can and do 60
to the polls just the same as other
citizens. Nor is there any protest,
opposition or collision whatever. Their
right to the elective franchise is fully
conceded and under the Australian
system fully exercised And not only
this-the negro electors are so locat.
ed that in several important and some
pivotal states they really hold the
balance Of power. For instance, they
can muster some 5000 votes in Con-
nectlcut, 1000 in Delaware, 10000 in
Illinois. $4,000 in Indiana. $1,000 in
Kansas, 10000 in Maryland, $4,000 in
New Jersey, $4,000 in New York, 80,
600 in Ohio, $4,000 in Pennsylvania and
$4,000 in West Virginia.
The truth is that without the sup
port of this contingent the Republi
cans in close contest would lose
Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, New
Jersey. New York and West Virginia
with Indiana and possibly Ohio ant
Kansas in doubt. So it is plain tina
there is a powerful political party be

over my head the skylark singeth,
Though the sun hath set and the night
draws nigh;
What is the message that sweet song
bringeth?
Is it a hint that day gone by
Gone by-gone by-may return again,
And the time of waiting go past like rain?
The lark still sings as he upward flieth
Through the dusk-bIue air, and the
notes drop down

For the breath of spring and the sum-
mer's crown.
All! crown of summer, dost hang as far
las over the skylark that lone white star?
oh, lonely star! But the song hath ended,
The purple mountains grow darker yet;
Boon will the crimson and gray be
blended,
And nought to tell where the sun hath
SET
The blue dusk deepens, more stars there
What is the promise We hold for me?
Where the hills drop down to the sea
which spurneth,
For ever and ever, the patient land
Where the blue hills melt to the blue sky,
burneth
a distant nre like a loVe-lit brand.
My steps descend, and it goes from sight,
But l know it is strong for the coming
night
Oh, stars and fire! is your inward mean
ing
To tell of hope for the days to be?
OF an hour when Time shall go backward
leaning
To pluck white roses and red for me?
And the joy which is past come back
come back
With a threefold strength that shall
nothing lack?

Hints for Popcorn Lovers.

Popcorn is such an invariable part
of various entertainments that direc-
lions for popping it may be appre-
ciated. Put the regular quantity
that is, a very small quantity-into
the pepper. and hold it under the
cold-water faucet long enough to
thoroughly saturate the kernels.
Shake the pepper, and place it on the
back of the range to allow the corn
to dry. Then pop. The kernels will
be very large, and there will be no
hard center. The red popcorn is
thought to be the best.

MRS. ALICE NJ. RuBLr.
She Is Member of Colorado's LeEiss
lature and Making u Mark
Among Politicians.

Mrs. Alice M. Ruble, member of the
lower house of the Colorado legisla-
ture, who distinguished herself by
making the nomination of Henry NJ.
Teller for United States senator, is
having her first experience with off,
cial life, but she has made herself
perfectly familiar with all the duties
and opportunities of her Office, and it
is her intention to in every way pos
sible advance the cause of her sex.
Mrs. Ruble was born in Vermont,
and is a member of the old Blush
family. Her father was Kansas
pioneer, and some of her relatives
are among the first families of To-
pela.
She has always been an earnest
worker in the state suffrage assoc
citation, and has taken a keen inter-
est in politics, although it was not
ltil the last campaign that she con-
sented to stand for an office.
A keen politician, Mrs. Ruble is no
less a devoted mother, and her home
is model of coziness and comfort.
She is idolized by her children, who
are always given large share of her
attention, no matter how pressing
outside duties may be.

particular work she desires to accom-.

She may smoke and wear boys

young woman. Don't you think so,

plea. She had pulled letter from

it to the light.
