CANDIDATES MIXED IT
 AT REDFIELD

Company. I wish I owned that stock ('You bet you do," retorted MT. Young from the audience)
 "Young is from Tennessee. Yoa ought to vote for your home raised material. A Lincoln county paper re- ferred to me in al announcement that was home raised. Somebody said cabbage. You may call me a cabbage. That's all right. Let them call me cabbage. Judge Jones is so lazy that there has been stand ing reward for anyone to find him in hurry. That reward has been with drawn now. I've got him on the run. He is a double crosser. He told the people at Red Fork that Nixon was a goody, goody church member, that I taught Sunday school, etc. Now he comes up here and tells you that am a gambler. I admit I once had a mania for gambling, but I made a resolution two years ago to quit the game and I intend to stick to it. J am going to purify politics in Jeffer- son county. Every one of those ball. lot box thieves will wear stripes
 Nixon talked seven minutes over his time and had to be called by the chairman. He closed pleading for votes and making promises. In his rejoinder, which came after MT. Young concluded, Nixon charged Mir. Young with having been mixed up with the Jefferson Mutual Insurance Company failure. Nixon admitted that he gave his money to gambling hells for five years. He denied that he called the court house fellows thieves. They are just taking the same fees as the other fellows took" :" he sail, "and there has ne!." beer anyone in the prosecuting attorneys office with e.l Ugh nerve to sto.' .hec, I will do it.
 Jones Raps Nixon Hard.
 Judge Jones was the second speak CT and he went after Nixon from the start. Before he finished Nixon was him and asking questions from the rear of the house, while Chairman Reynolds called repeatedly for order. Judge Jones did not over look MT. Young, however, and he ire quently paid his respects to him.
 From the start Judge Jones said that he could not understand why he on and Young. He said he was not consulted about the evenings pro- gram but that inasmuch as MT. Young was making his first appearance with the other two candidates, he should be among the first heard. Judge Jones caused no little amusement when he sarcastically ridiculed NiXon's "great speech" at the Reeder place. Nixon had previously stated that he had ad- dressed the voters there last Saturday, that it was just two miles from his place of birth and on his birthday an niversary Judge Jones said Nixoa told his hearers that brilliant star appeared in the heavens near the Reeder place just thirty-four years ago; that that star had at last assum- ed all of it's brilliancy and was now shining in Jefferson county. Judge Jones said that the people who heard Nixon thought that it was a comet with a long, fiery tail. This comet had scooted around in Desha county until it lost it's tail and that it finally alighted at the Reeder place and be- came a star. Young, Jones said, was no criminal lawyer, and that nobody ever accused Nixon of being lawyer. "Why that fellow Nixon can't stand an examination on any of the ele- mentary principles of the law said the speaker. He named a dozen au- thorites which, he said, Nixon had possibly never heard of, notwithstlni- ing the fact that they were in com mon use in good, first class Jaw of- fees. Nixon might answer by saying that he had been admitted to the bar. Yes, that's true. There are three mig ger lawyers down there at Pine Bluff who have been admitted to the bar Judge Jones again declared that $2, 800 in fees was all that he received from Justice Cheeks court in the past year or more. That the settlement he made with Constable Frank Stew art will show his statement to be cor rect. If I can't back up my state mems with the record, l will call Nixon's bluff and give any charitable organization in Redfeld $1O0. Nix on hurried to Squire Williams here this afternoon and asked him what Jones got in fees in his office in the past year. Squire Williams told him 'Prac- tically nothing The bombshell that
