The insinccrity of some of the wouId-be prohibitionists is. as Artemus Ward would say, some what "amoosing They go about raving for state wide pro hibition and calling upon candi dates for office to declare them selves in faver of such q policy, and then when Il candidate so declares. some of these prehis be gin, at once, to apologize for some other candidate, claiming that he. also, is a friend to the cause of prohibition. Our opin- ion IS that a candidate for office who has not back bone sufficient to declare himself on any subject is not the proper person to elect. To blow both hot and cold may be good politics but II is poor principle as regards the candi- date and those who would en- deavor to shield him from the result of an avowal. If Dona- ghey is i'll favor of State wide prohibition, as some of his friends claim. why doesn't he say so? Wouldn't it be more honorable for him to speak out and let people know exactly where he stands than te secure votes from the liquor element. under the belief that he was not a State wide prohibitionist. and then betray them? Everyone knows where Iinemon stands on this subject, and there IS no leap in lie dark in voting for him.

The following from the report of Senator Davis speech, deliv- cred at Seafey, last Friday, tells about the true story, so far as the Governors race is concern ed: Senator Davis declared that there had been great change in the gubernatorial race, and that the contest was now between Kirby and Hine- mon, rather than between Kir- by and Donaehey, as he has heretofore declared. You nev CT saw race change so i'll your life, he said Hinemon is now second. Kirby is i'll the lead and Donaghey is way behind. By the time the campaign is finish ed he w ont have enough votes to wad shot gun. " Senator Davis has been all over North Arkansas, and ought to know what he is talking about. We have contended all the time that the race would be between Kir- by and Hinemon, and 1t, now looks like Hinemon will go in by good majority.
