A. CUES. viii real Democrats
stand by and permit interloping enc
mics of the party to sneak in and
commit the party against it's vital
principles?
Ans. That remains to be seen,
Mr.. Democrat. Will you do your part
to prevent such a calamity to tho
party?
CHAPTER III.
4. CUES. But what is that on
the ticket about 1.-The system OF local
option?
Ans. Oh, that is just a little
bait thrown out by the Liquorites to
catch local option suckers, who they
seem to think are too stupid to see
the catch in it.
2. Ques. VIII man who
scratches the Liquorites' local option
sucker bait off the ticket be voting
against Local Option?
Ans No, he will simply be re-
fusing to vote with the Liquorites
for liquor. a
3. CUES. Is there any neces
to vote the Legislature Instructions
For the system of local option?"
Ans. No, for the system of b.
cal option" was voted into the Con-
stitution in 1876, is there today, and
will stay there without action on
part of the legislature or a vote by
the democracy. Might as we'll ask the
party to vote the Legislature instruc-
lions to create the Office of governor
or to do anything else provided for
by the Constitution of 1876.
4. Ques. Then, why did the LII
quorites want this foolishness about
Local Option on the ticket?
Ans. Simply to catch Local OPP
ton suckers and get their votes for
Liquor. Remember the fable about
the Wolf in Sleeps Clothing"
5. CUES. VIII you, Mr.. Reader.
be caught by the Liquorites' Local
Option sucker baft2
Ans. II you are Democrat,
you will answer at the ballot box
July 25th, with vote "For Submis-

CHAPTER /.
/. CUES. Will the Democrats
vote in their Primary, July 25th on
State Prohibition?
Ans. No, they will not.
2. CUES. Then, what Is it con-
corning the saloon they will vote on?
Ans. Simply for or against sub
mission-that is for or against
letting the people say through the
ballot box next year whether the sa-
looms in Texas shall stay or go.
3. Cues What will be the effect
of a vote against Submission?
Ans 1t will be in effect to say
to the people: You shall not tell the
Legislature what you want done with
the liquor saloons"
A. CUES. VIII real Democrat
"a man who bows to the sovereign
ty of the people-cast such a ballot?
Ans. Well, now, Mr.. Reader,
you answer that question.
CHAPTER II.
l. Ques. Should Submission
win, will the Democracy be commit
ted to Statewide Prohibition
Ans. Certainly not, because state
wide Prohibition viii not be voted
on, and the party can not possibly be
committed on question 1t does not
vote on.
g. Ques. If majority in the
Primary vote against Submission,
will that commit tho Democracy
against the doctrine of submission?
Ans. 1t certainly will, and put
the party squarely before the world
as opposed to allowing the people to
settle at the ballot box a great ques-
ton affecting the public welfare
against the doctrine of People Rule
the very foundation Of Democracy.
g. Ques. VIII real Democrats
vote to thus put the party on record
in direct opposition to its cardinal
tenet?
Ans. No, I think not, but thous
ands who are not Democrats are
threatening to come into this Prima
ry and vote against Submission SO al
| to force the Democratic party tC
give an un-Democratic expression or
this question. This Is natural thing
! for the enemies of the Democratic
party to do.

the Quebec battlefields by His Royal
Highness, the Prince of Wales, fol-

her vast timber resources place her
right up in the front rank among the

Mr.. Drew White as president Of the
local baseball association. Mr.. White
is an enthusiastic fan and is a man
of business and executive ability
who will no doubt be able to pilot
the affairs OF the association to o.
successful landing. Pine Bluff needs
a first class baseball team, not only
for the advertisement that it will
be for the city but for the pleasure
it will afford our citizens and the
opportunity to get out to Forest
Park and breath fresh air and es-
cape the hot and fetid air of our
dusty streets. It will also drive
away dull care and the dreadful en-
nui Of dull summer.

county. in which Louisville is To-
Gated, refused to support Beckham,
the Democratic nominee, for the SEN
Iatorship. After scattering their votes
for several weeks, those four indie
pendent legislators voted for Bradley,
thus electing him over the governor.
Passing for the moment from con-
sideration of the disloyalty Of the
Louisville Democrats in refusing to
support Beckham, the Democratic
nominee, the Graphic desires to point
out that the example in Kentucky af-
fords lesson and warning that the
people Of Arkansas at this particular
time would do we'll to heed. 1t DEM
onstrates beyond peradyenture that
Democrats whose loyalty is sorely
tested by machine rule will eventual
lyrevolt against such political prac-
tees. even at the expense and loss
OF their party.
1t this particular time we have in
Arkansas q Jeff Davis political ma
chine ;ha, is administered for solely
selfish political advancement and per-
sonal ACKNOWLEDGMENT which is sore
ly trying to the fealty OF the better
element Of the Democracy of this
State. If such practices are con-
tinued, it will only be a question of a
few short years until Arkansas will
become as doubtful a Democratic
State as the former rock-ribbed Dem
ocratic State of Kentucky. Year by
year throughout the land there is be-
coming more independent spirit in
politics. This spirit has been mani
tested in both Of the border States of
Missouri and Kentucky, each of which
now has a Republican Senator in the
Federal Congress. With the menace
, of negro domination being diminished
year by year, even the Old South is
becoming more independent in party
spirit, and if the scarecrow Of negro
! rule can be effectually relegated to
| the limbo of forgotten things, and
the Republicans put forth men for
public offices of high moral character,
it is only a question of time until
there will be a general break-away in
the South from old party lines.
The Graphic would therefore ad-
monish the Democracy of Arkansas
to take heed of the present trend of
public thought and political affairs
/ The people of Arkansas are tired OF
yellow dog" Democracy, especially
OF the cur-dos variety. And If there
is not change for the better in this
State, it will eventually result in a
serious loss to the Democratic party.

and Robinson, Of Arkansas, because
the former humorously objected to be-
ing recognized by the speaker as hail
ing from Arkansas, was natural
enough incident to the estimation in
which the ''razorback" State is held
by the generality Of people in the West
"a reputation, by the way, which ut
terly bellies the many genuine virtues
of the State and it's whole-souled, big
hearted people, says the Kansas City
journal. Arkansas possesses a de-
lightful climate, rich soil, magnificent
forests of pine, black walnut, cherry
oak, ash, hickory and maple, beautiful
mountains and plains, with great
abundance of perhaps the purest wat
crs Of crystal-clear rivers and springs
to be found in the United States, with
any quantity of rich mineral deposits
Of lead, zinc. iron and coal, and silver,
gold and even diamonds have recent
pearls, the hunting Of which in the
White and other rivers is a steady in
dustry. However, despite all of these
rich native resources, Arkansas is
commonly regarded by the people of
the Middle West and East as about
the nearest approach to the jumping
off place. that can be found in this
Hemisphere. For several years a
steady stream of homeseekers has
passed through Kansas City-aggre-
eating at times as high as 100000 per-
sons a month-native Americans,
looking for new lands in the great
empire of the Southwest; and yet, al
though Arb .Asas : ., has upwar :!
four millions of acres of government
lands, subject to entry for homesteais
at $1.25 per acre, and fertile clearet
land in mountains or plains may be
bought for from SO to $50 an acre, very
few, if any, of these homeseekers have
settled in the State and it is doubtful
whether most Of them have given the
matter even a passing thought. Never
theless it is fact that almost every
one who visits Arkansas, especially
the mountainous region, becomes Ell,
amored of the genial climate and picl-
uresque scenery, and many Of them
never leave the State except to dis
pose of their property at their native
homes and return as soon as practi-
cable.
