POSSIBILITIES IN UBERNATORIAL RACE
Announcement That Governor Little VIII Not Run ReyiyCS Spccula. tion-ScNeral Candidates
 Mentioned.

The announcement in the Gazette sunday morning that Governor John $. Little would not be a candidate for governor al the expiration of his pres ent term has caused some develop ments in the political field. although no active candidates have announced. Some weeks ago, Hon. John H. Hine- mon, formerly superintendent of pub lie instruction, announced that he would become a candidate in case Governor Little declined to ask for a second term, and it is generally under stood that MT. Hinemon is in the race
 Attorney General Kirby declines to make a statemnt at present as to his candidacy, but it is also understood that he will enter the lists during the next campaign. and seek gubernatorial honors. General Kirby is known as an active campaigner, and once he en- ters the field he will pursue vigorous campaign.
 Former United States Senate, James H. Berry has been repeatedly mentioned as candidate, but he de- clines positively to make statement regarding the matter, save to say that he has not even considered entering the race up to this time.
 The friends of Judge w. M. Kay anaugh of this city have been endeav- bring to get him to enter the race. Judge Kavanaugh has made no posi- tive announcement, but it is believed that, certain conditions being favor able he will be a candidate, and his extensive acquaintance and popularity will make him a formidable one.
 There seems to be a genral opinion that the campaign for the Democratic nomination for governor will see more than two men in the field.

Yesterday-S Sunday, August lis believed to have been the hottest day of the present summer season, at least Pine Bluffians will vouch for that fact. The day was intensely hot and at i o'clock in the afternoon the thermometer registered 104 in the shade at one down town place. Rain fell at many points around this city yesterday, and for time it looked as if a shower would occur here, but the clouds passed away and cooled the atmosphere, making the evening more bearable.

THEY KNOW, NOW!

Theodore Roosevelt, President of the
United States, has spoken; and the
truculent combines, industrial, and fnan-
cial know, now, just what to expect, at
least so long as this honest and fearless
man is at the head of national affairs.
He has said they shall obey the law
Of the land; that they shall cease to
rule, viciously and arbitrarily, to the
undoing Of the people, and the markets
of the country; that they shall be made
responsible to actual government and
relinquish their predatory status, and
aling themselves with other Lesser, and
1aw-abiding, businesses.
The President viii surely keep his
word; he has never broken It let, and
the Titanic struggle will soon be on, and
we shall all know who possesses the
real power and authority, the trusts, or
the people. a
It is said the great Interests" will
amalgamate to undo the effect of this
poEcy by depressing the money and in
dustrial marts of the country to the
point of panic; that they viii beggar
the land, to discredit Roosevelt and his
administration. Well, let them. The
country can better stand such a season
as this portends, rather than fail in the
final establishment of pure and genuine
popular government, and the triumph of
such climax of ruthless and selfish
domination.
The people must stand religiously and
unviolably by the President and great
secretaries, and give his plan and pur-
pose the commanding force of popular
sanction and endorsement. He is fight
ing for them, and in their own defense,
and his, they must back him, to the last
