HINEM0N AND KIRBY.
Senator jeff Davis Says The Race Is
Between These Two Gentlemen.

Senator Jeff Davis who, in his
tour Of the State in the interest
Of W. f. Kirby, has been all
along saying that the Governors
race is between Kirby and
Donaghey, has changed base. In
his public speech at Searcy last
Saturday he declared tho race ie
between Hlnemon and Kirby,
which statement he is repeating
In his later addresses.
AT Searoy Senator Davis de.
clared that there had been a
great change In the gubernatorial
race, and that the contest ID
now between Kirby and Hinemon,
rather than between Kirby and
Donaghey, as he has heretofore
declared. "You never saw q
race change 30 In your life," he
said, "Hlnemon is now second,
Kirby is In the lead and Dona-
ghey Is way behind. BY tho
time tho campaign is finished he
won't have enough votes TO wad
q shotgun"

THE DEMOCRATS
MODEST CLAIM.

Our friend, William II. V,
Wahlquist, editor Of the Demo-
orat at Mammoth Spring, in his
last issue, continuing his virulent
attacks upon Hon. W. A. OldGeld,
modestly claims that Hon. M. j.
Manning will carry every county
in the district in tho race for
Congress. This, Of course,
eliminates Oldfeld entirely from
the race, II accepted as gospel,
but when we remember that the
Democrat was making some such
extravagant claims for Hon. h.
W. McFarlane in the Governors
race and that Mr.. Mofarlane, In
the face OF tho Democrats en-
couragement, has since seen tit
to withdraw from that race, we
are led TO believe that Wahl-
quist's political representations
arc about as reliable as some Of
the weather predictions found In
the average almanac. We very
much doubt IL readers Of the
Democrat swear by that paper as
a political prophet, for II is APP
parent that II belongs to that
class Of newspapers which be-.
lieve that tho most proper way Of
ehamplonlng tho cause Of one
candidate 10 to abuse and berate
his. opponent, and we can safely
cay the Democrat would have
escaped much criticism, In It's
home county and abroad, II II
had made u decent, stralghtfor-
ward, fair fight against 0lddeld,
instead Of brow. beating his can.

When the common laborer

When the common laborer
takes a few days absence from
his job, his wages are docked for
the time he loses, while Senator
Davis, who is drawing a salary of
S7,500,00 q year, can leave his
post Of duty in Washington and
continue to draw his S24,00 a
day while he tells the people how
to vote for governor. .-Yellville

Senator Jeff Davis is now de-
claring that Donaghey is out of
the race for Governor and that
the contest is between Kirby and
Hinemon. Many people over
the State believe that Senator
Davis interference in the con-.
test has injured the candidacy of
Mr.. Kirby to the extent that he is
the third man in the race and
that the race is really between
Hinemon and Donaghey.
Sharp County record., 1908-03-13

There seems to have not been
much worry as to which Of the
three candidates Mr.. McFarlane's
strength would 60 to since his
withdrawal from the race for
Governor, Fact is, up to the time
of his withdrawal, Mr.. Nc
Farlane's strength had not been
located exactly.

dTNEMON DESERVES
GENERAL SUPPORT.

The Record has not one un-
kind word for either Mr.. Kirby
or Mr.. Donaghey, but it supports
John H. Hinemon in the race for
Governor from many reasons.
Mr.. Hinemon's clean personal
character has caused him to
escape any serious criticism or
charges during the entire cam
paign. Everyone you see agrees
that Hinemon is a clean man. He
is a safe, reliable man, and it is
certain that his administration
would reflect credit upon the
State and entire people. He is
not a politician, and is not allied
with any of the political factions
that have been at war in this
State, and is the only man in the
race for the office of Governor
whose nomination could or would
result in a complete reuniting Of
all Democrats. He is making
the race upon a sound Demo-
cratic platform that should COM
mend his candidacy to the entire
people. He is not engaging in a
wrangle, but is offering the peo-
pie something in the event of his
nomination. He pledges him
self if elected that his admins
tration shall result to the interests
Of the people, instead of the
politicians. He promises if elec-
ted that pickering and strife
shall have no place in his ad-
ministration, and that his official
acts will be controlled by the in.
terests of the people, instead Of
the politicians, All these things
should be remembered by the
voter who loves his State and is
interested in its welfare. The
people everywhere ought to have
had enough Of petty politics and
factional quarreis by this time,
and now be ready to place a man
in the Governors chair whose
every energy would be bended
toward the advancement Of the
State and the prosperity and
happiness Of the people.
Mr.. Hinemon is speaking to
the people every day and almost
every night, and is said to be
drawing the largest crowds OF
any Of the candidates, All re-
ports agree that he is gaining
as the primary approaches, and
his friends in different portions
of the State claim his nomination
by a handsome majority.

didacy with bombast, ridicule
and misstatemeIts.
The Democrat says Manning
will carry every county in the
district. The Record, from in
formation received from various
sources, believes Oldfield will
carry eight or nine of the twelve
counties of the district, Sharp
among them certainly, and win
the nomination easily. A little
longer and we shall know which
paper came nearest the exact re-
suit.

Benton County Democrat Says Ludwig
viii Win His Race Easily.

The fight being made on Sec
retary Of State o. g. Ludwig by
his opponent and his friends is
only winning votes for our eff.
cient secretary as the people are
too well posted as to his services
In their behalf to allow an un-
known, or virtually 80, man take
the place that has been 90 ably
filled by tho present incumbent,
1t is always q sure sign that q
candidate 10 q winner when his
opponents will put forward ar
guments against his unfitness for
an office or that he has held IL too
long instead Of going before the
people, and showing that they
are better qualified or can be of
more benefit to them In that
particular office. The race, 40
far as Ludwig Is concerned, is
already won and when the votes
are counted the tally sheet will
have to be enlarged to hold them
oil. lt's dollars to doughnuts
that he polls tho largest vote Of
any state candidate, benton
