regarding the lands scandal in the IL

the Dawes Commission were alleged to

the outgrowth of charges made by

mission and Commissioners. Breckin-
ridge and Needles, asserting that the
conditions discovered demand prompt
and drastic action on the part CT Con-
gress and recommend that the Dawes
committee be abolished and the re-
naming work done by the Indian in

In his letter transmitting the re-
port tc' President Roosevelt, Secreta-
ry Hitchcock said in part:
Il heartily concur in the findings
and recommendation relative to the
officials of this department now en-
ployed in the Indian Territory service,
and with view to appropriate action
thereon at the earliest possible ms
ment l respectfully request confer

The Secretary opposes the recon-
mendatiOn Of Messrs. Bonaparte and
Woodruff for doing away with the
Dawes commission and says:
After years Of effort in a compar-
atively new field of action, where
much of the legislation and service
was necessarily in some measure tent
ative, the great work of the Dawes
| commission is nearing completion,
and it is confidently expected that it
will be finished not later than one
year from next July. In the pres
ence of such a situation both the ex-
ecutive and legislative branches of
the government may well hesitate t.
enter upon radical changes of a more
or less experimental Character"

Wanton Falsehood Denounced.

The following resolution was intro
duced and unanimously adopted:
"Whereas, in a letter published by
Governor Davis in the Atkins Chron-
icle of date March 5, 1904, addressed
to the people of Arkasas,' he says
with respect to the half rates by the
railroads for this convention: 'Of
course, as they (the railroads) reduce
the rates they will bring the people
down here free of charge, and not on
ly that, but put money in their peck
cts to send them home to distribute
Therefore be it resolved, That the
aforesaid statement is wantonly false.
it is well known, and to no one better
than to Governor Davis, that railroads
make similar rates for all conventions,
social Or political, and gatherigs of all
kinds held any place in the state, and
the willful and wanton ISLANDERS cir
culated against the members of this
convention, merely because they op-
pose Governor Davis, serve as prep
er illustration of his habit of SANDER
ig all men whom he cannot control,
and of his attempting to mislead the
people by statements that he knows
to be 1alse."

Opening of Convention.

The convention convened promptly
at II O'Clock, being called to order by
President H. Coleman cf the Arkansas
county Wood Club.
The opening invocation was Of
fered by Rev. M. Hawley of Pine
Bluff, who prayed the blessings CT the
All-Wise upon the proceedings of the
convention, for the purity cf politics
and the greatest good to the greatest
number.
Mr.. Coleman then addressed the con-
vention, bringing the greetings of
Arkansas county. He aroused the
greatest enthusiasm and most dem
strative action on the part of the
great audience when he declared that
the Democratic party of Arkansas
shall never stand fer the election of
any man as governor for third term.
The object of the convention is to seal
the compact that a candidacy for gov
ernor for third term is un-Democrat-
ic. The tide has turned against boss
ism and demagogy. The speaker then
declared the convention open. and an
nounced that the first busines was to
select officers.

KEY NOTE: "No THIRD TERM.'

jefferson couty easily captured the
prize for being the banner Wood Club
of the state at the big rally in Little
Rock Tuesday. delegation two hun
dred strong, which went up in the
morning, was increased by forty or fif-
ty more who went up on the afternoon
train tc see the close of the Wood
jubilee.
The state had never witnessed such
a gathering before the primaries in its
history. Eight hundred accredited del
egates were joined by over thousand
visitors. There were Wood buttons,
large and small, Wood badges and
Wood hats Everything was Wood.
One particular feature CT the
crowd was that while they
cheered necessarily for their candi-
date, it was orderly and there
was dearth of drunken men.
Dignity and itelligence characterized
the demonstration and not an arrest
was made by the police for discrderly
conduct.
The honors heaped upon Jefferson
county began with the arrival of the
special at the depot at 10:30. Here
the train was met by :. committee of
fifty, and headed by the Second Reg
iment band, marched through the
streets to the Capital hotel, the head
quarters for the crowd. Another hon
or was the election of Hon. S. M. Tay-
lor as president of the state organiza-
tion, and a third was the heading of
the big street parade by the delega-
tion. The title of the banner club
of the state was generally conceded to
jefferson county.

never be overturned by such mis-
cradle makeshift as Jeff Davis.
He concluded by urging the men,
bers of the convention to go home and
work for the salvation of the state
from the dishonor paced uI2n it by

some appropos anecdotes which keep
the enthusiasm at white heat. He
declared that tie crisis now confront
ing the state CT Arkansas is as great
as that which confronted the south in
the dark days proceeding the civil
war. He urged all to persuade their
friends throughout the state who may
be fcr jeff Davis that they are wrong
and should vote for Judge Wood, the

| Mr.. Henry M. Armistead of Little
Rock, then spoke briefly for the cit.

them to the city. He read from a let
ter written by jeff Davis making the
ridiculeAs charge that the railroads
would bring the delegates free to the
convention, and not only this, but
put moey in their pockets and send
them home to buy votes. He knew it
was falsehood when he wrote it. as
railroads give rates for all ccmven-
tions and public gatherings.
Chairman Taylor said that Jeffer-
son county would not accept the low
rates, but there was SC much anti
Davis enthusiasm that they chartered
a train to come to Little Rock.
