Nanchan is a city of abont 100000 peo-

THEIR EXPERIENCE
An Address by the Chairman of the Republican State Committee
Win the Democratic State Board of Election Commissioners at Little Rock on Wed
 nesday, August ld.
To the voters of Arkansas:

To the voters Ot Af6dnSdS.
 Little Rock, August In or der that the voters of the state of Arkansas may understand tul- lv the methods and manner m which the State Election Board selected the county election com missioners today, l issue the fol- lowing account of it's proceedings as far as 1t relates to the Re publican members:
 In company with U. 5. Bratton, president of the State League, we appeared before the board and Mr. Bratton made an ad- dress appealing to them as falr- minded men to allow us to name one member of the County Elec- tion Board. as we are entitled. To this Gov. Davis replied The Republicans are entitled to Just what we want to give them and nothing more. Later on he said what we want are the men that the Democratic county or panizations want, Republicans have no right before this board, and in every instance followed out this rule.
 When Izard County was called E. Ii. Brummitt was named by the board in conformity to the recommendation of he lZaro County Democratic committee. Objection was made, that he was 88 years old, and had not lett hlS home for a number of years. Ie which Gov. Davis replied, That is the kind of Republican election commissioners we want; we coulc not have a better one.
 When the member was named for Crawford County, he said:
 That means the defeat of one or two of the candidates for rep resentive, and this move Is backed by Phil Scott, who would take 2 ticket direct to hell to beat me for United States senator" "
 He said there was an undercur. rent in the state endeavoring tC secure the election of as many in dependent members of the legis. lature as possible, and the prime

object was to defeat him.


 Madison county, Davis said, was a close county, and was sure to go Republican, unless they selected commissioners that would stand up and do busi ness" Evidently meaning to count the votes to show a Demo- cratic majority regardless of how they were cast.
 In number of counties there were contests among the Demo crats and it was openly charged that the selection of certain commissioners meant the defeat of part of the Democratic ticket.
 In Cross County 1t was charg- ed that the men selected were the tools of a certain clique, and would do their bidding absolute ly. If they were told to go out and tree a squirrel where there was none, they would pro- ceed to find a squirrel without any trouble.
 1 Garland County, one of the board said we will give them what Bob Williams wants, " and Gov. Davis finally agreed to that list.
 In Perry County, the contest ing Democrats charged that each side wanted to steal from the other. There were many other incidents of like nature and the action of the board indicates that the principles of government by the people is ia ce, so far as Arkansas is concerned, and dem onstrated that 1t was not a ques- ton of count altogether. They have gone further this time in ignoring the rights of the minor ity party than they ever have before. This means evidently that they realize that the major ityof the people of Arkansas are not in sympathy with them, and shows that they are determined to dominate the politics of this state regardless of the people. 1 cannot believe that the rank and file of those that have affiliated with the Democratic party here tofore approve of this conduct by the state board.
 During the campaign carried on by the candidates previous to the Democratic primary several of them insisted that there should be a fair election, Judge Little, the Demoeratic nominee, among the number. He will be the beneficiary, and can you af- ford to support him if he accepts these conditions? If the people expect any relief from this cor

Temperance Teachings.

Nobody rejoices more than the christian mothers of Prescott that our capable officers are be- ginning to make 1t uncomforta- ble for the transgresson of our prohibitory law, for it is their hearts dearest treasurer that are in jeopardy. The liquor traffic spares none; and those who get their consent to ply this nefari- ous trade care little how manE fond hearts are crushed, or how many precious young lives are blighted.
 We hope the next step our brave young officers will take will be the one to stop the Solicitors: who make our town regularly. Sec. 5133 of kirby's Digest says; It shall be unlawful for any person, firm, partnership or corporation engaged in the sale of alcohol or any spirituous, ardent, vinous or malt or fer mented liquors where the same may be lawful, to solicit orders either by agent or otherwise, for the sale of alcohol or any spirtu- ous. ardent vinous, malt or fer mented liquors in any place or places in this state where the same is prohibited by law. :"
 Sec. 5134:ny A person, firm partnership or corporation viola : ing the provisions of this act shall be guilty of a misdemeaoor and upon conviction thereof, shall be fined in any sum not l4ss than fifty dollars nor more than two hundred dollars. Can any thing be plainer? While our heart always goes out in sympa- thy to the Wrong-doer, and We hate to see him have to pay fines, yet we suggest that we might have better work with less cost to the law abiding, if we would deal justly toward those who care only to skulk along in hidden receSSeS, not counting how rough he way if they can only sell their-what must we call it?- their vile compounds.
 With the following plain law we can see no reason why any prohibition town need have
 blind tigers" or "speakeasies, :" Read it.
 Sec. 5137: It is hereby made and declared to be the duty of the Chancellors, Circuit Judges, Justices of the Peace, Mayors and Police Judges, on informa- tion given or on their own knoWl- edge, or when they have reason able grounds to believe that al- cohol, spurious, ardent, vinous, malt or fermented liquors, or any compound or preparation thereof commonly called tonics. bitters or medicated liquors of any kind, are kept in any prohi bited district to be sold contrary to law, that they issue a warrant directed to some Peace officer, directing in such warrant siez- ure of such intoxicating liquors and directing such liquors in any prohibited district to publicly de- stroy the same, together with the vessels, bottles, barrels, jugs or kegs containing such liquors. "
 We say to our officers who are doing so much, in material way for oar town against such odds, Hail! and press on with.the bat tie that means So much to the moral uplift of the people, and which will in the very nature of things, rebound to the splendid development of still greater oatarial IUaaltb
