Speech Full of Sizzles.

If the rebels should succeed the man
who has held this State in his grip for
the last eight years viii be obliged 10
begin over again the construction of the
powerful political machine now threat
ened with disruption. Without a doubt
he would rebuild II any one should be
so unkind as TO put an obstruction in
the cogs big enough TO smash things.
for in Arkansas they know that when
Jeff Davis Is apparently licked" he
has only begun 10 fight. But the po-
HticaI prophets say that Davis viii not
lose, that this tour is his master stroke
10 line up his old following. II Is said
the speech lie has prepared for the &C
cssion has more sizzles I'm il than any
he has yet produced.
The revolt Of the "Old Guard" is
largely due to the fact that the junior
Senator failed TO realize that as a Sens-
tor In Washington he does not hold Il
in his province to so dictate the appor-
tionment OF political offices and the adj
ministration of them as he once did as
governor Of the State.
The differences between Plndau and
Davis are personal: those between Da-
Wis and most Of the others are political.
Davis is backing ". +. Kirby Tor gov
ernor who in the last primaries defeated
Pindan in the race for the attorney
generalship. and who is. therefore
Piudall's most avowed enemy PindaHs
intent Is to beat Kirby; his followers
idea Is TO keep Davis from interfering
IN their own political Vaccinations sol
long as he has a good Job" working
