els will turn out on March 26 there is
no question as to the result"
The foregoing was clipped from the
editorial columns of sheet edited by
a Jeff Davis squirrel head and it is
another sample of campaign rot on
par with a sample which he Graphic
reprinted a few days ago from one of
the Davis rgans. The simplest idiot
can make such assertions as are con
tained IN the foregoing quoted para
graph, and il is such idiotic assertions
chat fill the columns of the Davis pa
pers. Not one of them undertakes to
show wherein Davis is the friend of
the masses They do not produce one
single Instance wherein he has d ne
anything fer tha good of the common
people" As he so delights in calling the
| masses When messt as to t,s fail
ures ta carry out his promises 10 the
people in his numerous campaigns for
office. he always places the blame oll
someb }y else, he asserts but for the
hindrances of others he could have
made good every pledge. What the
people want is a man Who can do some
thing and not be always clamoring for
vindication because of his failure, due
to an utter lack of desire and ability
to accomplish anything g cd for the
people. The people want a man they
can hold responsible for at least por
tiOn Of his many failures and broken
pledges, and not have TO hold to ac
countability others for ali of the 9 "
ernor's misdeeds and shortcomings.

THE GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT

ceived a start and the seed thus sown

The counties which now appear to be
taking little concern in the movement
will later see the benefits derived by
the more aggressive counties and will!
fall into line resulting ultimately in
widespread good roads movement
in Arkansas as it exists in other states.
One of the good resolutions adopted
by the recent convention is the follow
ing:
Resolved, That the chairman of
this association do, within thirty days
after adjournment, appoint a commit
tee to consist cf one member from
each congressional district of the
state Of Arkansas. whose duty it shall
be TO investigate the road gravel, rock
and ether material within and adjacent
TO The state of Arkansas, together with
cost Of obtaining same for road pur-
pa'sts, and report to this association at
the next annual convention"
resolution declaring in favor of
national aid for road building was also
adopted.
The convention also sidestepped a
title by adopting ., resolution favoring

professional men. The preachers are
signing it. 1t is receiving the sigma
lures of those in every walk and pur

The situation. they say, as it will

They are divided in their individual

An unistructed delegation under

for the party to nominate and the
