A Warm Contest on in Arkansas
Between Senator Berry and
Gov. Jeff Davis

Washington, ID. G. January down
tion on. 1t reached the pistol stage
several weeks ago, Representative
Dinsmore using his "weepon" on Gov
ceedceed Senator Berry. Dinsmore
didn't shoot. He merely pummeled
the governors head with his gun. The
senatorial contest has been on in Ar
kansas since early last spring. Berry
and Davis have been making speeches
all over the state, and will continue
the controversy until some time next
spring, when the primaries are held
They have primary system in Arkan-
sas under which senatorial and all
other candidates are voted for direct
ly. This makes politics the most i'm
portant industry In Arkansas. 1t is
one continuous campaign down there.
Senator Berry, 1t is said, has been
obliged to mortgage his next years
to spend at least half his time here
this winter, looking after his senator
tal duties. The other half he will
spend in Arkansas looking after jeff
Davis. Both candidates are hoarse
ii.
There isn't a question that could be
imagined that they haven't discussed.
Both are for Rooseyelt's railroad rate
policy. Only few people in Arkan-
sas know what that policy is, but they
are for it anyway, because Berry and
Davis have told them it will do up the
railroads. The people of Arkansas are
always in favor of doing up some-
-
the time in Arkansas during the next
six months they will do him up. and
Davis friends are betting he will be
done anyway.
But aside from the railroad rate
question, the Philippine question, the

Under the law another primary was
necessary. The second campaign
opened almost imediately after the
close of the first The speakers again
took the stump. the bands played, the

ferro won, out by slim majority, after
being away from his senatorial duties
for nearly whole Congress. He has
just returned from long sea voyage

Perhaps the most important SEN
atorial' contest in many years in the
south is the one now on in Tennessee.
1t is important because of the import
ance of Senator Carmack who is now
serving his first term. Bob Taylor,
the fiddler, lecturer and wit, is his
antagonist The campaign has been
on all summer, but the opening
were not made until IN November.
During the winter the contestants will
debate their case in every part OF the
state. The primaries take place in
April next. The issue between Car
mack and Taylor is a novel one. Tay-
lor is charging that Carmack is not
on easy terms at the White House, the
present occupant of which Is Re
publican, the two contestants being
Democrats. Carmack has been the.
most able exponent of the Democratic
position on the Philippines, and has
said some pretty severe things cen-.
cerning Republican policy on this
question
Luke E. Wright, the present gov
ernor in the Philippines, and a Dem
ocrat, is from Tennessee. He an
proves Republican policy and TAYLOR
approves Wright. At present Car
mack is clearly in the lead. s

fact that many national and state,

found upon application to the roads

The Father of Emperors.

From the london Mail.
An anecdote, hitherto unpublished, con-
corning Archduke Francis Charles, father
OF the emperor OF Austria, appears in a
new book written by a retired diplomat,
says our Vienna correspondent.
During a walk alone in the Syrian hills
the archduke got into conversation with a
talkative farmer, who, after giving a good
deal of information about his own family
suddenly asked the archduke:
What's your father?'
Emperor" was the answer.
Look here said the farmer, III you
want 10 be funny don't you shout. There
are gendarmes about, and you might easily
get run in for lese majestic! / dare say
you've a brother. What's he?"
..Oh, he's an emperor, too"
well, you're a funny chap said the
farmer. laughing heartily. Have you any
children"
Eyes. thank God; there's my boy, Fran
els Joseph"
What's he?"
Emperor
'Ha, hal" roared the farmer, digging
the father of emperors In the ribs. Have
you any more sons of that sort?"
Yes, a second called Max
Isn't he an emperor"
Yes, he is also an emperor"
After relieving his feelings by giving
a wild leap In the air the farmer clapped
the arshduke on the shoulder and said
Look here, old friend. The next time
you're passing Mariazell asylum drop I'm
and see If there happens to be a place
vacant"
