makes no attack upon Davis, but in a friendly mauner and in the words of supporter of the senator it points out to him the fact that the Dem ocrats have twice elected him attorney general, three times governor and once United States senator; that they have answered his appeals by always placing him in the front ranks and giving him what he desired-honors enoug h for so young a man, thinks the Banner, without also permitting him to name tue peoples governor
 The Banner calls attention to the fact that, while the people ot Arkansas can be led, they cannot be driven like so many hogs to the slaughter or so many sheep to the shambles. ;
 The editorial closes with the following pertinent remarks;
 "The common people are getting tired of so much oratory in politics. They want business admlnlstra- tion, an administration in the 1n- terest of the people and not in the interest of the politicians. They want to see the state capitol finish ed. They want it finished ill the interest of the taxpayers, and they believe they have wisdom enough to select their own candidate with out the advice of Senator Davis. It is true that the senator has beeu very popular in the past with the voters of Arkansas, and he should show his gratitude to his constit- uency by hands off, and attend to the business of the office with which the people o. Arkansas have hon. ored him and not try to dictate to them what they should do, ot whom they should elect their gov ernor. People can often be led, but if you try to drive them or CO., cree them they will rebel and the popularity of once governor and a now United States senator might dwindle and vanish away. The Banner s advice to Senator Davis is hands off in the race for governor and lief the people decide as to whom they want. He should show his gratitude to the people Of Ark ansas for what they have done for him and acknowledge that they have wisdom enough to select whom they desire. "

Judge I. A. Lea for Reelection.

We present this week the name of Judge J. A. Lea as a candidate for reelection as county and pro bate judge of Faulkner county, subject to the Democratic primary on April 2. During his first term which he is now serving, Judge Lea has made good record. He has been scrupulously careful of the county's money, has spent much time looking after the roads and bridges and has faithfully en- deavored in every way to give the county good administration. He will doubtless be elected without opposition.

w. W. Bishop for Assessor.

This issue contains the formal announcement of Waverly Bishop as candidate for assessor of Faulk- ner county. MT. Bishop is now serving his first term in this office and believes he is entitled under party usage to a second term. Without attempting any drastic re- form in the county assessment, he has succeeded during the last year, in the face of poor crops and a higher rate, in making very cred itable increase in the total assess ment of the county He will doubtless be e-nominated without opposition.

Ward and the truth is Bishop Ward cid not advise with me either directly or indirectly as to the matter.
 1T do not understand what mo lives actuated Bishop Hoss in making the statements indicating that I was stench i'll the nostrils ot Arkansas Methodism, nor why he should so far forget the dignity of his high position III the church as to indulge in such language Whether he has joined forces with those who have been pursuing me do not know, but as to the truth of his statements l leave the Methodism of Arkansas to judge. He winds up this part ot hlS re markable interview with this ln- terrogation: If he is not Otto Brock, who is he?' 1 wonder II It has ever occurred to the great bishop that my name might De James Thomas.
 "Yes, they seem to proceed upon the hypothesis that am living under an assumed name, or that there is something criminal in my life. Why this IS true l do not know, unless it be that l have not seen fit to comply with a vicious and insulting demand made by two of the parties pursu- ing me to spread upon the nm utes of my conference the history of my life. So far as they are con cerned, it is none of their business where I have been, nor what l have been, and l would not trouble myself to make any state ment to them, or at their sugges- ton. But to all others l desire to state this: that l am AZ years old, and have never had any other name than James Thomas; that l am not criminal, never have been and am not a fugitive from justice, and that l challenge any man even in the years of my wick edness, to show where 1 have ever sought to assasslnate any man s character or to injure him in any way, or to send pain into the hearts of women and children. i Twenty years ago l came to Arkansas; 20 years ago l was con- verted; within a year or a little more I went into the ministry ot the Methodist church, and my i record is known to the people ot my state and throughout the con- nection. I have in all good con- science prosecuted the work given me to do by the authorities, using my income in trying to do. good, in paying debts and in discfiarging my obligations to my state and to my family. Before 1 joined the church I made no pretentions to piety, but during the years oi wickedne,s in my life, 1 never so far forgot myself, or was so adam doned, as to neglect the business in which I was engaged to devote my time to the injury of any per son or to the destruction of any mans good name.
 II do not know whether the parties who have been pursuing me for yars will continue to do SC or not. Judging from past events, I can expect almost anything, but can only await developments and take care of myself as 1 have in the past"

A. M. Ledbetter for Circuit Clerk.

We take pleasure this week in presenting the formal announce ment of Anon M Ledbetter as a candidate for a second term as cir
 cult clerk of Faulkner county, sub feet to the democratic primary. MT. Ledbetter is an experienced clerical officer and during his ad- ministration has done much to sys- tematize the work of his office. The position is a most important one, but we believe MT.

 Thomas Tells of Texas Trip.
 MT. Thomas, in an interview given the Gazette's correspondent at Texarkana yesterday, stated that he went to Carrizo Springs three weeks ago, met the people, preached in the Methodist church and asked the privileges of meet ing the citizens who knew Otto Brock ir that county ill the early Sos.
 I visited with friend, Mrs Ed English ST., formerly Mrs. Brock, and found her and her husband splendid people, 'said MT. Thomas, MT. English being a well-to- do stockman. l also went to Cotulla, and found there several old cltl- zens who knew MT. Brock then l went to Devine, MT. Hester's home remained several days and preach ed on Sunday to a large congra- gation. I found there several old citizens who knew MT. Brock.
 While at Devine, I learned that there were several elderly men living in San Antonio who knew MT. Brock. While on this trip l took several affldavits, which l have no objection to you having If you will publish them just as they are. I also secured several let ters written by ministers and at torneys to citizens of that section, some of which are attached to dispositions, some of which 1 re- tain in my possession for further use.
 Hester Proposed Settlement.
 "On my last trip my attorneys in connection with the attorney of MT. Hester took dispositions along the line set out in in these atfl davits at Carrizo Springs and San Antonio.

The facts al ready stated may cause the bishop to change his mind in some per ticulars. As to the matter ot Bishop Wards forcing me to bring a suit, I can only say that Ii Bishop Hoss had desired, he could have known the truth from Bishop
