FOR GOVERNOR.
A Yell County Paper Buoms Senator
David L. King.

The P. D. would call attention
to a modest but CONSPICUOUS figure
in Arkansas politics who is en-
titled to the consideration of the
Democratic party. VIZ speak OF
Senator David l.. King, of Sharp
county, the author of the original
King bill. For two sessions he
has served in the State Senate,
and during both he has labored
increasingly for the passage Of
the King anti trust bill, the en-
bodiment of Gov. DAVIS ideas Of
trust legislation. The King bill
became famous four years ago,
and two years ago aforementioned
in the Democratic platform by
way of endorsement. This year
the platform specially demands
its passage by the next legislature,
and if it should become a law--as
in all probability it will-second
to Gov. Davis, who first made the
fight, no man will be entitled to
more credit than Senator King.
Some of the friends cf Senator
King are already urging him to
run %. Governor two years hence,
and whether he will do SO or not,
it is not the purpose of this paper
at this time to enquire, but at all
events we are willing to go en-
record now as saying that truer,
nobler nor more loyal man to the
interests IF the great mass of the
people cannot be found in the
State. When the people elect a
governor they usually try to elect
just such a man, so that makes
the Senator both eligible and pos
sible as a gubernatorial candi-
date.-Dardanelle Post.

ator T. N. Wilson of Arkadelphia,
Clark county, but prying lawyers
soon found defects in the act.

from it. 1t was charged that at

fore the legislature the gamblers
of Little Rock, Hot Springs, and
other Arkansas towns put up
thousands of dollars to secure its
defeat.

teen counties, and the others
were sent out signed by Secretary
of State Crockett and Attorney
