the foundations of a great state
made the spot sacred to me and
invested the scene with an indes-
cribable charm. Not less interest
ing is the old road. As 1 looked
upon it I thought of the pioneers
who, facing all the dangers, priva-
tons and hardships of the frontier
passed along there seeking homes
for their loved ones. I thought
also of Absolom Fowler, Albert
Pike and Robert Crittenden, and
the other great orators, lawyers
and statesman who often rode on
horseback along that ancient high
way. To me it was not less sacred
than the old road that leads from
Lexington to Concord, which has
long been the via saeya of New
England.
Faulkner county is rich in his
toric treasure; and if some of Con-
ways cultured men and women
would form an historical socie;y
they would find much work to do
that would prove of great value to
the future historian. Just where
was that home of McIlmurrey's To-
Gated? Who was the first man
that ever settled in the present
limits of Faulkner county? Was it
Jacob Pyeatt or some one else?
Where are his descendants? Where
was the first farm opened? Where
were those cid mills located? Who
owned them? These and many
other questions of a simila- chara-
cter would furnish subjects for in
vestigation; and the annual meet
ing would furnish subjects for rare
entertainment for those whose
hearts turn with affection to the
memory of the pioneers.
Why cannot that old road in
Faulkner county that was travelled
so many years ago be preserved
for all time just as it ran in the old
days? Why cannot the McIlmur-
rey home be located and marked
with some kind of monument if
nothing more than some of the
boulders from the adjacent hill?

CALDWELL g. DRAKE TO FIGHT
Will Not Give Up Capitol Con-
tract Voluntarily.
Prosecuting Attorney Denies that Bribery
Charges Against Caldwell will
be Dismissed.

Little Rock, Nov. I4.-Contrary
to press dispatches sent out from
Laporte, Ind, Caldwell & Drake
will not give up the fight for the
continuation of their contract
work on the new state capitol
building. On the contrary, word
was last night received from George
w. Caldwell of the contracting
firm, who was then in Springfield
Mo-, where the concern has large
contract, saying he was coming to
Little Rock at once and would re-
main for some time to prepare for
the contest in the legislature in
January, and the fight has not
yet begun. Mr.. Caldwell is expect
ed here Sunday.
Representatives of the concern
last night stated they had no inten-
ton of giving up the contract and
Mr.. Caldwell's policy would be for
the legislature to either order him
to go ahead with the work, or else
pay him in full and kick him out.
1t is said he will demand action in
some manner and will contest
through the courts if necessary.
As for the dismissal of the
charges against Mr.. Caldwell Pros
ecutlng Attorney Campbell says
it is news to him, for he has made
no such arrangement, and will not
be party to any sort of compromise.
The general opinion, though, is
that the case will be ultimately
dismissed ON account of the inabil-
ity of the state to get testimony
sufficient to warrant long drawn
out hearing with its enormous ex-
pense to the state.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
The first volume of Pioneers
and Makers of Arkansas" just
published by Prof. J. H. Shinn,
contains many facts of interest to
Faulkner county people. 1t ap-
pears that the little town Of Cadron,
that once stood on the east bank of
the Arkansas at the mouth of the
'Cadron, was an important factor in
the states territorial history. ia
cob Pyeatt moved to Cadron in
1915 and founded new settlement.
In 1918 there was a sale of town
lots there which brought $1,000. 90.
In that year John McIlmurrey,
Amos Kuykendall, DR.. Menifee
and Thomas Tindall lived there.
The historian who visited the place
in 1918 wrote: The cove in
which Mr.. McIlmurrey lives is al
most impenetrably surrounded by
lofty trees"
Tindall was a prominent man,
being q member of the Council OF
Nine that composed the Legislature
of the Territory at that time. In
1890 he led a movement to change
the county seat of Pulaski county
from Little Rock to Cadron, and
came near being successful. In
fact there was great sentiment at
one time to move the capital to
sCadron. The FIRST post office was
established there in 1920 with
Thomas II. Tindall as postmaster.
The old maps of the Territory
show a road leading from Little
Rock to Fort Smith through Cad
ron. That, in its time, was the
states greatest highway; 1t is the
old wire road" that runs some
three miles west of Conway. 1t
seems that Tindall's effort to move
the county seat to Cadron was ably
seconded by Joab Hardin, mem
Der OF the council from Lawrence
county, who afterwards moved to
Pulaski county and settled on the
Cadron. The same maps show
mill sites on North Cadron.
Last Sunday afternoon l visited
the site of the old town OF Cadron.
Scarcely land mark remains to
tell the tale of the early days; but
the fact that here once lived the
brave men who assisted In aging

Some Questions for Mr..
Vincent TO Answer

Mr.. Vincent, what is Republicanism?
Are you a Republican? If SO, why
does your picture and why do your
speeches always appear in the Demo-
cratic press instead of the Republican
press of this state?
If you are Republican why did you
give to the Denver Times your speech
denouncing your fellow Republicans in
the Legislature for supporting the eau
Gus nominee for U. S. Senator prior
to the time of its delivery SO it was
being sold by the newsboys in the Cap
itol building while you were delivering
it IN the House? Does this inspire con
fidence in your party integrity?
Will you please name any and all
Republicans in the House and Senate
who were corrupted, as you charge, BY
Mr.. Guggenheim or the so-called. Re
publican machine, or his or their
agents and please give the names and
dates?
Mr.. Vincent, have you been in the
past part of the machine" as you
term it in this county? If so, was that
machine supported by you, while you
were connected with it? Is that So
called machine. if corrupt at all, any
more corrupt today than it was when
you were directing it? In fact is not
Mr.. Mathews, your most ardent sup
porter, the official head of the very ma
chine which you abuse so much?
Mr.. Mathews has stated that he will
furnish all the money necessary for
you to fight for your denomination and
election. Is this corrupt or not? Do
you not convict yourself of the same
charge you make against Senator Gug
genheim?
Mr. Vincent. do you believe in being
true after election to the pledges made
to the people before election? If yes,
why did you pledge yourself in the last
campaign to go into a Republican eau
Gus for the election of u. 5. Senator
and abide by the result, and then after
election refuse to keep that pledge2
Is it corrupt for a candidate for Office
to contribute to the campaign funds
and if so, why did you contribute? Is
it any more corrupt for Hon. Simon
Guggenheim to contribute than it is
for you to contribute?
Why did you accept without protest |
of the benefits of the contribution that
was made by Hon. Simon Guggenheim
Can you dnswer these questions

to E. J. Mathews, chairman in the last
campaign and then after you were
elected denounce such contribution as
corruption fund?
Why did you after affirming that
A. R. King is at the head of the party
machine in Delta County, and that that
machine is as corrupt as it is possible
for it to be, yet offer that if Judge
King will support you, you will support
him?
Are you standing for principle or for
your own self aggrandizement and ad-
vancement in this campaign? If you
are standing for principle, do you think
t is best for you to be reelected and
returned to the Legislature, after you
have openly confessed that you were
unable to do anything in the last Leg
islature? And then again you have
affirmed that you can do NOTHING in
the NEXT Legislature, when you know
that Judge Welch, who stands for the
primary election law, and other laws
dear to the hearts of the American
people, can accomplish something if
elected? Is your election so important?
Delta County be sacrificed to crafty
your ambition?
Was it because of your extreme hon
esty or was it because of your lack of
respectful treatment of other members
of the Legislature and your lack of
that cost this county several
thousand dollars through your failure
to secure much needed appropriation
from the internal improvement fund
during the last session of the Legisla-
ture? If, as you admit, you will be
unable to obtain any part of the appro-
priations at the next session of the |
Legislature, will not your election as
instead of Judge Welch,
cost this county all its share of appro-
priations for roads and bridges?
Are you not now working with ell .
your energy and cunning to build up a
MACHINE?
1t is generally rumored in Delta
County that if you fail to secure the
nomination. you intend to
run Independent or on the Democratic
ticket. Are these reports, or either of
them correct?
If you charge bribery and corruption
against a number of Delta County Re-
publicans, will you name them and will
you produce the evidence to substanti-
ate the same?
