KING FOR CONGRESS.
His Public Record Is Sound On Greatest
Questions Before The People.

The London newspapers, with scarcely an cx-
ception. comment on the close vote ir New York
as an indication of the popular discomfort with
enormous combinations of capital The London
papers are to large degree right in their diagno-
sis. --Arkarsas Gazette.
Trusts and corrupt combina-
tions Of capital and the control OF
railroads are the issues before
the American people today, and
these issues bring Ex-senator
David L. King of Hardy very
prominently before the democra-
cy Of the Second congressional
district as candidate for Cong
ress. His antitrust bill and his
bill to increase the powers Of the
Railroad Commission in the in
terest of the people, both of which
are now laws and have been ap-
proved by the Supreme Court,
push "King David" very much
to the front.

ADDRESS TO UNION MEMBERS.
Something From The County Secretary
And Treasurer.

Al Locals in Sharp county will
please take notice that Nov ember
oath is set as Union Day and
every Local is expected to hold a
meeting between the hours Of l
and IL p. M, for the purpose of
voting for or against the adop.
ton of the new constitution, which
was recommended at the National
meeting at TeXarkana. Every
Union that fails to vote and send
in the same shall be termed as
voting in the affirmative or in fa-
vor of the same.
SLY, boys, the money power is
up against US. Can't you feel it?
Why is it that the South will
longer labor for the money lords
of the North and East? Is it pos
sible that to rid ourselves of the
heavy burdens we bear we have
to let the business of the country
90 down and shut the doors Of
the churches and schools and let
society fail? This is not our aim
|or intention, but by the eternals,
something has got to be doing.
n / would like to meet every Tn.
ion IN the county in their meet
iilgs some time in the near future.
Let every member understand
that his Local will be in session
on the day named above for the
purpose of voting on the adoption
of the constitu ton. Brethren,
there seems to be no objection to
the new one, and wiser men than
we think it best. So, when you
study the whole story, l don't
think you will oppose it. Let
Sharp county show her force once
more on this question, Let us 60
for the adoption and help spread
the news far and near.

County Sec. and Treas.
