ARKANSAS STIRRED UP.

From present appearances Arkan-
sas has ceased TO be a Bourbonized
state sure to give its vote to a party
label. The jeff Davis spell has been
broken. BY a majority of three to
one the Arkansas Democrats decided
to leave the senator out of the list
of the delegates at large, which I'M
plies that the Democrats of the state
are thoroughly tired of the old rough
and-tough machine A Republican
opportunity is thus presented that
calls for attention. In the presi-
Dental election of 1904 in Arkansas
the Democratic vote was 64,434 and
the Republican vote 1850. A
change of less than 5000 votes would
have made Arkansas Republican. If
the Republicans had known that a
victory was within reach they would
not have let the occasion pass with
a comparatively light vote.
Arkansas, for its best interests. re-
quires a political overturn. The
Democrats concede that their party
deserves an overhauling, for they
have taken a hand in that direction
themselves. But change of parties
will do the state immensely more
good than shifting of affairs from
the leadership of Jeff Davis to that
of some other Democrat who will go
into partnership with him or incur
his hostility. A state as rich as Ar
kansas in undeveloped wealth, and
as much in need of the confidence
and cooperation of active business
men. ought to study its own welfare
instead of that of successive rings OF
greedy, selfish politicians. At all
events, Arkansas seems to be sick
OF such schemers and ought to do
better for itself than exchange one
pampered gang for another.

sum of money, said to be $4,000,
was sent to that state in 1904 by the
Parker committee. 1t was repre-
scented that Bryan would canvass the
state for the senate. and that all the
Democrats and Populists would be
.whooped out of the brush, giving
Parker good chance TO carry the
state. Nebraska's majority against
Parker was $1,000, slump of more
than 10000. compared with Bryan's
recorded strength in the state. Chair
man Sheehan of the Parker commit
tee. says the money was sent and it
is admitted by Nebraska's national
committeeman of 1904, Mr.. Dahlman
of Omaha.
Mr.. Bryan knew in 1904 that, I'M
der the Parker candidacy, he could
not carry the legislature and that the
Republican majority would be i'm
mense. What became of the $780,
600? Let the publicity searchlight
be turned upon the itemized distri-
button of this liberal sum of eastern
campaign cash in forlorn hope
spot. Mr.. Bryan says he will return
the money if it was tainted in any
respect by facts with which he was
not familiar at the time. Some of
his Nebraska associates certainly
worked the custodians of Parker
campaign funds with a promise of
goods that could not be delivered
and Bryan's candidacy for the SEN
ate was the chief inducement held
out. Silver mining interests in 1896
are said to have raised a Bryan cam
paign fund of s2SS. 900, a sum that
would have been only drop in the
bucket, compared with their profits
if free coinage of silver had prevail
ed. The Bryan campaign publicity
issue is another boomerang.

CAMPAIGN FUNDS PUBLICITY.

1t is hard on Mr.. Bryan that when
he expected to make the publicity of
campaign funds one Of his issues, he
suddenly finds himself on the defen-
sive in the matter. The Democrats
in the house voted against the cam
paign publicity bill that was passed
by the Republican majority in that
branch of congress, and now Mr.
Bryan's friends in Nebraska are In a
panic over the disclosure that large
