Newt Nance, Formerly a Sup porter of John Keel, De- fends Judge Wood and
 Hillhouse.
Eight Mile, Ark, March IA.

The Hon. J. H. Keel is send ing out by mail all over the coun- \ ty circular letters by the hum dreds and in these he claims that ] Gustave Jones and Joe Stayton, I two railroad attorneys, brought out George Hillhouse for repre- sentative.
 Keel is trying Jeff's tricks, trying to prejudice the minds of the poor or laboring classes against George by saying rail- road attorneys brought him out. II want Mir. Keel to understand that I don't get free passes on the railroad and that I talked to George during court when 1 was serving on the grand jury and urged him to enter the race, and several of the Democratic voters of my township asked me to write George asking him to be- come candidate for representa- tive, which I did.
 have always supported MT. Keel in the past, but I am a Democrat and have been taught l that our forefathers in Democ- racy laid down a rule for Demo crats to follow, and they taught that third term in office was not true Democracy, and I am persuaded to believe that a true Democrat would not violate this rule, and MT. Keel is not trying to violate this rule for himself alone, but is trying to carry a hypocrite on his shoulder for a third term for governor.
 He also said Hillhouse joined hands with Lippmann and the "niggers' a few years ago to try to defeat him when he was the nominee of the Democratic party. From the action Mir. Keel took in our last Democratic central com mittee meeting it looks like he was trying to join hands with the triggers" in order to defeat l the Democrats of our county, as he contended so earnestly for l the word white" to be erased from the resolution so they could join hands with the sniggers" to try and get a third term and get Jeff in also for a third term, which no other true Democrat would do.
 MT. Keel also calls our atten- tion to several trusts operating in our state today and says MT. Hillhouse is in line with these trusts. I ask MT. Keel, was he in line with the insurance trust, which he says is the worst of all, when he presented Judge Wood with that gold-headed cane, or was ne just acting a hypocrite? Mir. Keel says his enemies must have had four things in view in bringing out MT. Hillhouse. 1st, the repeal of the salary bill. He l (KeeD knows this is not true. I'd, the repeal of the railroad commission bill. This is another one of his false reports. Sd, the defeat of our effective antitrust law. This is some more of his campaign thunder. 4th, the de- feat of Gov. Davis. This is the truth, if Keel did tell it out of four trials, as this is better than Jeff can do or will do or has done.
 And the reason Mir. Keel en- tered the race this time was in order to try to defeat Wood, who he is trying to make the people believe is controlled by the rail roads, trusts, etc., but he will fail to make many believe this falsehood. If Judge Wood was in favor of trusts, as MT. Keel would try to have you believe, I had rather have a governor who favors trusts than a governor who favors blind tigers and is in lipa xxs;tL tho ,xyL:cl~,, alox~oxo4
