For the Public Good.

An independent and ably edited
newspaper which commands a
great circulation is probably the
most potent influence for good in
the United States today. The
power for the better things in pub
lie affairs and policies, for instance
which is welded by such a news
paper as The Chicago Record Her
aid can scarcely be exaggerated,
and much of that strength comes
in the case of this leading Chicag :
daily from the fact that it is abso-
lutely independent, fearless and
fair. 1t is not the mouthpiece Of
any interest except that of the pub
lie. The Record Herald champions
the cause of the good, the clean,
the beneficial in every matter OF
city, state or national moment. 1t
is the knowledge on the part of its
readers that it cares not whom it
hits or what enemies it makes, so
long as it is battling for the welfare
of the community, which gives to
the Record Herald much of fthe
influence it enjoys. 1t gives in
its news columns the most COM
plete and impartial reports of roli-
teal events; another evidence of
it's splendid news service.

Just because you think the state
and congressional district are safely
Democratic is no reason why Dem
ocratic voters should not go to the
polls on Tuesday, November 2,
and cast their ballots for Bryan and
Kern electors and for Chas. c.
Reid for congressman. Lack Of
interest in the election four years
ago resulted in large number of
counties voting for Republican
electors, and the state at large gave
the Parker electors plurality of
only 1854. The normal Demo
cratic majority in Arkansas is over
90, 900, and we ought to roll at
least $4,000 for Bryan this year.

THE FUNNY REPUBLICAN.

The funny side" of the State
Republican is its editorial page.
lust now Editor Guy w. Caron, is
making a strenuous effort to con-
vince his readers that Candidate
Guy w. Caron, who wears the
empty honor of the Republican
nomination for congress in the fifth
dist. let, has a chance to be elected.
Listen to this:
"In spite of this the 'brazen
frauds of the Democrats the Re-
publicans have a fighting chance
and should go to the polls without
f. 1t is even more important tovote
than in the state election. A ma
iority of the citizens of the fifth con-
gressional district are Republicans.
Two years ago Congressman { {.
Reid received total of only 1891
votes. Last month the Republi-
cans of this district cast twice this
vote. If the same men turn out
November 3 they can elect Guy w.
Caron to the national house OF
representatives"
Here is news to the people OF
Arkansas. GA majority of the
citizens on the fifth congressional
district are Republicans. " But
Editor Caron has allowed his en-
thusiasm for Candidate Caron to
run away with judgment. Or per
haps he has not yet scanned the
returns of the election held only a

In an interesting letter yesterday

In an interesting letter yesterday
Walter Wellman, All Independent,
Republican staff correspondent OF
several papers, who is very accurate
in his political observations, says
that Ohio, the home of Taft, is to-
day one of the most doubtful states
in the Union. The reasons for this,
as pointed out by Mr.. Wellman,
are three distinct revolts in the
rank of the Republicans. The first
and most important is that of the
labor organizations, the member
ship of which has heretofore been
almost solidly Republican, but
which is now unit in supporting
Bryan. The second is the revolt
III the negro vote, which amounts
to about 40, 900 in Ohio. Leading
negroes of the state are making
daily speeches urging their race to
support Bryan as rebuke to Taft
for his action in the Brownville
matter and his treatment of
Foraker, whom the Ohio negroes
idolize. The third element is re-
volt of Foraker himself, who
Wellman says is working in quiet
but effective way to line up his
organization against the Republi-
can nominee who occasioned his
downfall.

C. C. REID TO SPEAK HERE
Congressman from This District will De-
liver Address in Conway.
FROM FRIDAYS DAILY.

Congressman Charles C.. Reid of
Morrilton, representing the fifth
district of Arkansas in the national
lower house, will deliver an adj
dress in this city at some time prior
to the presidential election on
November ;. The date has not
yet been definitely fixed, but it is
probable that Mr.. Reid will be
here on Saturday, October 81.
Congressman Reid is a forceful
orator and is recognized as one of
the leaders on the Democratic side
of the house. He will doubtless
be greeted by large crowd when
he comes to Conway.

Indiana and New York are now

Indiana and New York are now
considered almost certainly Demo
cratic and the chances are. most
favorable for Democratic success
in Ohio. These threestates, together
with the solid south, including
Maryland will give Mr.. Bryan 243
electoral votes, one more than
necessary to elect, without includ-
ing Colorado, Nevada and Nebras-
ka, which he is sure to carry, and
several other states which are
doubtful.

Total ........I8,23I t

From the above table it is seen
that in no county in the district
was the Democratic vote less than
double the Republican vote, and
that Donaghey's plurality in the
district was 1884, an average OF
1892 to the county.
In another place in the same ed
itorial, however, the Republican
suggests a real danger to the Dem
ocratic ticket and one which every
Democrat should consider his duty
to avert. IF the Democrats do no
better than they did two years ago
the Republicans will elect three or
four members of congress from
this state. There is no question of
that. Another danger lies in the
fact that if the Democrats fail to
60 to the polls the race may be
sufficiently close to give the Repub
licans an opportunity for a contest,
which contest might be decided in
a Republican forum.
Let every Democrat in the fifth
district go to the polls on Novem-
Der :, and there will be no ques-
ton as to the result.

Little Rock, Oct. I7.-Residents
of Stuttgart are ambitious, so am
bilious that they are working for
new county for Arkansas, and
with this point in view, are work
ing for constitutional convention,
which will help them to work in
other directions to accomplish their
aim. Attorneys from Stuttgart,
who were in Little Rock this week
said that they had despaired of ev-
er getting the county seat away
from Dewitt, and henceforth they
will work to create a new county
in order to give Stuttgart central
location and county seat. The
constitution of Arkansas requires
each county in the state to have at
least 600 square miles. AS the
new county could not slice enough
off the adjoining counties to gain
this extensive area, the constitu-
ton must be changed so that it
will permit counties to be smaller.
This will give the people of Stutt-
CART a chance so they are working
for the constitutional convention.
This point gained they intend to
ask the Legislature to make new
county. To do this they will
endeavor to cut off a strip a few
miles long FROM Prairie county,
and the north third off Arkansas
county, and thus make a county of
their own. Much work has been
done on this matter before, trying
to work out county without the
aid of constitutional convention,
but Prairie now only has 64o

rants-were burned in the state

noon by Governor Pindall and the
balance of the state burning board.
This was the amount OF cancelled

the warrants burned yesterday, the
common school fund took the larg-
est expenditure, it reaching S917,

From the time Gen. James H.

Division of the United Confederate
Veterans arrived yesterday morn
ing uutil today at noon, when the

Veterans. was called to order he
has been the cent al figure of ad
miring delegates and others who
came to Little Rock to attend the
meeting of the remnant of the once
great army. The meeting was
called to order by Major General
Berry, in the reception hall of the
Hotel Marion, after which prayer
was delivered by Rev. J. H. Lucey
of Pine Bluff, chaplain general of
the division. J. H. Hill, Chief
Justice of the Supreme Courl, then
delivered a rousing address of
welcome, putting into it the Unborn
respect for the Confederate soldier
and his love for those who wore
the gray and fought beneath the
stars and bars. 1t was a touching
tribute to the men with whom his
father fought through the four
turbulent years. and was pronounc-
ed masterpiece of all the orations
Justice Hill has delivered before
gatherings of confederate veterans,
with whom he is an especial favo-
rite. Senator Berry responded to
the address of welcome, touching
with much feeling upon the few
remaining to attend the reunions
of the veterans. Mrs. w. E
Snodgrass entertained the dele
g ties with an instrumental solo
and the committees were appoint
ed to get to work uring the after
noon.
This afternoon Rev. T. E Sharp
of the first Methodist church will
deliver the memorial address, after
which the convention will adj urn
