SHARP COUNTY COMMENT
This week we are pleased to announce that Hon.
NJ j. Manning is candidate for congress, to repre-
sent the Second Congressional District of Arkansas
subject to the action of the democratic party.
NJ ]. Manning is a citizen of Monroe county,
where he has resided for many years. We not
personally acquainted with him, but we are reliably
informed and we sincerely believe that he is one of
the good citizens of Monroe county, who has the re-
spec the good will and the confidence of those who
know him. and that this good reputation extends far
beyond his personal acquaintance. He is neither a
young nor old man, being what we sometimes call
middle aged, and possesses the vitality of young
man, and at the same time, has had years of exper-
ence and practice, enough to thoroughly acquant
him with men, the nature of men and the affairs of
busy life His ability to represent the people of his
district in the United States congress, in respectful
and creditable manner is not questioned and there
fore needs comment. He has been an earnest and
faithful supporter of the Democratic party and the
cause Of Democracy all of his manhood years, and all
of his political life. He has served his Democratic
constituents, in political official capacity as state
senator, and elected to the Office of president of
the senate, in the Arkansas legislature without OPP
position. All of the information we have on the
subject tends to prove that the foregoing is truth
full statement of the facts Hence we conclude that
M. J. Manning is worthy candidate and in case of
his election will make a worthy member Of congress-
In view OF the fact that he is not we'll acquainted in
this county, and that the interest of the Democratic
party and the interest of the whole people of the
Second Congressional District be best served we sug
gest that the Democratic voters investigate the facts
and vote intelligently and conscentiously. Hardy

Monday from trip to several counties of the Sec
ond Congressional District made in the interest of

recognize his ability and the fact that he is peculiar
y fitted to represent them in position of great i'm
portance. The people of his home county are solidy

WILL CARRY PRAIRIE COUNTY
The effort on the part of The Grand Praire Re-
counter to create the impression that Prairie County
is for W. A. Oldfied for Congress is so noticeable that
it is amusing to u.s. Prairie is now almost solid for
the Hon. NJ J. Manning of Clarendon, for it is the
pleasure of the people of Prairie county to have an
opportunity to support man of such sterling quail
ties and one so eminently fitted for this important
office He is a gentleman in every sense Of the
word of unquestionable honesty and integrity,
thoroughly acquainted with the necessities and
wishes of the people, and in perfect harmony and
with the demands of the farmers of our coun-
try. We feel hesitancy in saying to the people of
the Second Congressional District that Mr. Manning
is the choice Of Prairie county and will receive an
overwhelmingly majority of the votes cast in the
primaries March 18th. County Observer.
