Their Central Committees for
Wood
NOT ONE DECLARES FOR DAVIS
Pulaski county.
Munroe county
Washington county
Grant county.
jefferson county
Green county.
Union county
Arkansas county.
Phillips county.
Drew county.
The foregoing colmties have deeiar-
ed against Jeff Davis, either in their
meetings Of the Democratic county
central committee or by other public
meetings.
Ever since Jeff Davis has been run
ming for office there have been men
who were against him. The feeling
that the spoIilical demagegue" shzmId
be oNeTti(roWn has been strong at all
tmGs bu1 il was never more so thau
al the present time. Never has he
met With stronger ppositiou--unir1-
peaehable 0Ponent; the combined op.
position OF farmers and business mon;
politicians and clubs, all i..ined teScth=
or with one parBose-his defeat.
At the recent good roads convention
in Little Rock ont OF 300 delegates
pr sent, REPRESENTING nearly every
county i'll the state, $50 Wood butts,3s
We're counted. The fact thai these but
tons were being Worn at The meeting
goes to show that the wearers were
not Jeff DAVIS men. Many OF the dele
gates were farmers.
Davis is directly responsible for the
fact that the gubernatorial contest
started so carly. but he is not respon-
Sible for the polling of the several
democratic central committees when
the vote went the wrong way. It may
net be safe criterion t. &C by, thai
because the central committee votes
for Wood, that the county will vote for
him. but ii is a significant fact that nor
central committee that has yet voted
has gone for Davis In every county
where vote has been taken the ma
lority has been frcm t. and 10 to
for Wood
Arkansas county is the latest coun,.5
to join the ranks. AT a meeting of
farmers held at Dewitt, poll was
taken on the gllbernatorial contest
and out of $50 mH present and vot-
ing 145 were outspokea fr Judge
Wood. The meeting was not called
for the purpose of discus sing politics
and can be taken as a safe est innate as
TO the way the people of Arkansas
county will vote.
The gubernatorial campaign was
made an issue in the county campaign
in Monroe county and every WOOD
man won out in his fight
Carroll d. Wood clubs are being or
ganized in many counties. Pulaski
leads with ! 400 members, Drew
county has over 400, Conway county
has just organized with 315 and many
other counties have strcng clubs.
Aside from the cold guard" which
has never been estimated, there are |
no new Davis clubs

been in New York. organized for social
intercourse and TO provide the means
OF innocently. yet entertaipingly. pass
ing the long Sunday afternoons and
evenings, little society. and assumed
the name OF THE Jolly Corks'
At first the membership was confined
TO actors. but the popularity OF the lit
tie band grew so rapidly that the doors
were opened to business and profession
al men. and Vivian became the presid-
ing officer OF the Organization. which on
February 16. 1865 assumed it's present
title of Benevolent and Protective Or
