EASTERN ARKANSAS
 TO SUPPORT DAVIS
S!. Francis District Will Fight to Send
 Train to Denver.

Little Rock. May 26.-Reports of a long interview given out by w. B. Mil Ter, president of the St. Francis leyee board, regarding the selection of mem- bers of the Arkansas 'big four to the Denver convention, are attracting co:l~ siderable attention here, from the fact that it is believed to indicate that Eastern Arkansas may support Sen ator Jeff Davis for a position on the delegation. We'll informed politicians here today predict that George w Donaghey, nominee for governor, may again indicate his intention of not be- ing q candidate, and that the conven- ton may select Jeff Davis as one rep resentative at large from Arkansas.
 Governor Pindall's action in bring ing the fight for membership on the sbig four" between himself and Sen ator Davis is the only disturbing ela ment, and indications point to gen. eral shake-up in the lineup for the delegation.

 The foregoing law is self-explanatory. It makes it absolutely binding on the Graphic to stop every sub scrpon to the Graphic hat is past due nine months and every daily subscriber that past due three months less renewed within reasonable time. The regulations went into effect January 1908 but owing to the fact that previous notice had been given publishers have been granted reasonable time to notify all such subscribers and give them chance to before stopping their paper.
