How can the Democrats win?

toral votes are necessary to elect a

Guiding Missouri, Maryland, Ken

THE DAILY EDITION.

IN another column will be found
en- announcement that we will be-
gin the publication of daily edi-
ton on next Monday. We believe
that there is a field in Conway for
a little local daily. Thirteen years
ago Mr.. O. c. Ludwig published
the DAILY Light" from this Office,
and, while the venture paid its
running expenses, there was no
profit to the publisher for the i'm
mense amount of work which he
put in it, and it was discontinued
after being published intermittent
ly for about three years. Today,
however, Conway is twice as large
and twice as enterprising as it was
then.
Our endeavor at first will be to
cover the local and county field
perfectly. Those who desire to
keep posted on the daily events OF
the world at large will have to con-
tinue their subscriptions to the
metropolitan papers. But it shall
be our purpose to chronicle every
event of local interest and to make
our little daily as newsy and in
teresting as possible.
The weekly edition will of course
be continued, and we think the
daily will make the weekly much
better paper, because our facilities
for newsgathering will be increased
and the news gathered for the daily
will be rearranged and published
in the weekly.
We shall be glad to have the
subscription of every citizen of Con-
way. In addition to this, the
thousands of patrons OF rural routes
in the county will be interested in
the daily and we are making
special rate of IS cents month
for their benefit.

Two lyceum courses will be

an organization located in this city.
Prof. Perry, the general manager
of the bureau, states that "A
courses have already been contract
ed for for the opening season, and

of his fellow Democratic nominees
in fact there is every reason why
it should not be.
The Log Cabin Democrat is not
given to eulogy or enconium, but
we desire to say that in our hum
blejudgment Faulkner County has
not in fifteen years had a better
county judge than Jim Lea.
Whether it is because he is a pol
itician and has desired to make a
good showing for political reasons,
or whether he has simply tried to
give the county the best that's IN
him we do not presume to say.
But the fact remains that his re-
cord is one of the best, if not the
best. that any judge, Democratic
or Republican, has ever made in
the county.
During his term he has reduced
the indebtedness of the county
more than SII,ooo-nearly one
third-in two years. No Judge
has ever done this since the coun-
ty was plunged SO deeply into
debt under a Republican admins
tration. At the same time he has
not been niggardly in conducting
the county's affairs. He has made
more improvements upon the
court house and grounds than any
Judge ever did. He has exercised
a careful economy and at the same
time I.aiseworthy progressive
ness. In the many close matters
which he as county judge has
been called upon to decide ne has
sought to be fair and to follow the
law. He has not pleased every
body in these various cases, but he
has tried to do right and any fair
minded man who will review his
work will have to admit he has
come pretty near succeeding.
Go to the polls next Monday and
vote the entire Democratic ticket,
from governor to constable.

There is no question that the
Republicans are getting "skeered. .
Immediately after his nomination
if was announced that Taft would
not make personal campaign, re-
garding such procedure as "undlg-
nifed." After spending a few
weeks on the golf links at Hot
Springs, West Virginia, the Re
publican nominee began to see the
wonderful gains of the Democrats,
and now he is making speeches
every day in a tremendous effort to
turn the tide.

VOTE FOR AMENDMENT NO. Q.

The present indications are that
Amendment No. 10, providing for
the issuance of bonds by cities and
counties, will be defeated at the
election next Monday. This will
cause disappointment among the
champions of the measure and
corresponding citation among those
who are opposing it.
But Amendment No. 9, the poll
tax amendment, is one that every
Democrat, every one who favors
white supremacy and every friend
of the common schools cannot fail
to favor. 1t is already the law OF
the land, but it has been resubmit-
ted for the reason that, unless the
supreme court reverses itself, it is
liable to be declared invalid OH &C
count of not receiving a majority
of all the votes cast at the election
at which it was submitted.
If, however, the amendment
should by any chance be defeated
next Monday, the Republicans
and negroes would Immediately in
stitute proceedings to have the
former amendment declared invalid
and we should be without the poll
tax law.
The poll tax amendment is Dem
ocratic, because it forces every man
who exercises the franchise to bear
a small part of the burdens OF gov
eminent. 1t is white mans law,
because through it alone are the
black counties and townships able
to prevent negro domination. 1t
is of educational value, because
every dollar collected through it
goes to the common school fund.
And remember this: Every one
who fails to vote on this question
votes against it. 1t must receive
a majority of all the votes cast at
the election, not simply majority
of the votes cast upoe the question
itself. Failure to vote on this ques-
ton, therefore, is equivalent to
voting against it.

UNION To MARKET PRODUCE
Farmers will Maintain Agent at
This Place.
New Rules Adopted for Depositors of Cot
ton in Faulkner County Union
Warehouse

ty is making preparations not only
to store their cotton in the ware
house at this place, but to sell
their produce under the same CO.
operative plan. E. V. Johnston
has been elected county proouce
agent and will have headquarters
at the union warehouse, just south
of the public square.
Mr.. Johnson has issued the fol-
lowing circular to the farmers OF
this county:
AT the last county union of
this, the Faulkner County Union,
F. E. &. c. U. of A., which was
held with New Bethel Local
Union No. 769 on Aug. u, 1908,
the Office of produce agent was es-
tablished, and | was elected to fill
this office.
"Therefore, acting under in
struCtions from the county union
have established an office at Con-
way, Arkansas, and can be found
at the Faulkner County Warehouse.
For convenience to both my
self and the brethren throughout
the county who wish to patronize
this Office, l would suggest that
you bring your produce in bulk as
much as possible, that is, as many
of one local as can consistently do
SO bring their produce together.
This will enable me, as the
agent to dispose of it more readily,
and will be advantageous to the
seller, as we'll, and l can get re-
turns for you more readily than
otherwise. And it is my desire to
have the produce brought in on
Tuesdays and Fridays as far as it
is convenient for you to do so, but,
in case some cannot comply with
this request, bring it when you
can, as l will be in the Office all
the time. Any other information
desired will be furnished on re-
quest by me.
:"Hoping that this step may
prove beneficial to us all and as
surfing you that shall use every
effort within my power to make it
a success, | remain,
"Fraternally and obediently yours,
"E. V. JOHNSTON,
Produce Agent"
