EFFORT TO GET OUT BIG VOTE
Full Democratic Strength of the
 County
Is Urged to Go to Polls Wednesday and Swell the Vote of Faulkner County's
 Candidate for Governor

The active friends of George w. Donaghey in this county are mak- ing strong effort to poll the full voting strength of the Democrats at the primary election in Faulkner county next Wednesday, March 25. In almost every township dozens of men have volunteered to use their best efforts to induce every Democratic voter to go to the polls and the sentiment throughout the county seems to be that the largest vote in our history will be cast.
 Figured on the basis of the num- Der of poll tax receipts issued last year and the proportionate number of negroes and Republicans in the county, there are very near four thousand white Democratic voters in Faulkner county. It is hoped that as near as possible this entire number shall vote, and MT. Dona- ghey's friends confidently believe that at least three -fourths of them will do so.
 Their reasons for entertaining this belief is not only in the fact that MT. Donaghey is home man, but that he is the logical man for governor and has by far the best chance of securing the nomination. At the same time it is remembered that, in the blanket primary, vote in Faulkner county counts just as much in favor of our candidate as if cast anywhere else in the state.
 The opposition to MT. Donaghey is so inappreciable here that it has been given no consideration what ever. The only thing thought nec- essary is to get the voters out, there being no fear as to how they will vote.
 Another feature of the primary next Wednesday is the race for prosecuting attorney of the I7th judicial circuit. Hon. George w. Clark of Faulkner county is can- didate for this office and is opposed by Hon. J. B. Reed of Lonoke and Hon. T. P. Atkins of Prairie coun- ty. That MT. Clark will carry this county solidly goes without ques- ton. The blanket primary also prevails in this race, and the close friends of MT. Clatk are likewise interested in securing as large a vote as possible.

WELL PLEASED WITH WORK
Supt. Doyne Satisfied with Nor
 nal Work.
dents and Hopes to see Boarding Houses Erected.

Superintendent J. J. Doyne, president of the board of trustees of the state normal school, was in Conway for a few hours Tuesday and while here paid visit to the grounds and inspected the work which has been done on the new building. Mir. Doyne expressed himself as being highly pleased with both the progress that has been made and the class of work that has been done. The concrete work on the foundations was com- pleted last week.
 MT. Doyne says that the lndlca- tions point to an attendance oi about POO students at the opening session of the Normal, which will begin next September, and he IS anxious to secure suitable accom- modations for the students, as no dormitory will be provided for the first session. He hopes to see some good boarding houses erected near the campus during the summer. MT Doyne also said that it would be quite an accommodation if those of our citizens who can take stud ent boarders will communicate with him or the secretary of the board, Prof. B. w. Torreyson of Little Rock, stating how many students they can accommodate and their rates for board and lodging.

COMMITTEE DEFENDS GRIFFIN
Secretary Exonerated by Execu-
 tive Board.
Charges of Kirby and Davis Against Union Officers Declared Utterly With
 out Foundation.

At meeting of the executive committee of the Farmers Union, held at Little Rock Saturday the following address was issued:
 "To the members of the Farmer S
 Union:
 Brethren - The attention of your State Executive Committee has been called to the charges, cir culated by certain politicians in- terested in this gubernatorial cam paign, that the secretary-treasurer of the Arkansas State Farmers Un- ion, Brother Ben L. Griffin, had sold or attempted to sell the vote of the membership of our organi- zation to one of the aspirants for the governors chair. Your com mittee, having in charge the guard ianship of the affairs of our State Union, have felt it duty bound to thoroughly investigate these charg- es with view of establishing the truth or falsity of the claims set forth. It has been with some de- gree of trepidation that your com mittee has undertaken this inves- tigation, knowing with what ab- horrence the great body of our membership look upon even the thought of connecting the fair name of our organization with pol itics. But in the outset we deter mined that the constitution, which so clearly defines our attitude toward politics, should be upheld, and that if any man or set of men should be proven guilty of having attempted to use the organization as cloak to further the political ambitions of themselves or their friends, the verdict of condemna- ton should, without fear or favor, fall upon tbem.
 ."We have carefully investigated every charge preferred and not one scintilla of evidence have we fonnd to substantiate them. No evidence whatever has been forthcoming to prove that Brother Griffin nor any other man has sold or used or at tempted to sell or use the votes of our membership in the interest of any candidate interested in this campaign.
 "The constitution, while declar- ing that nothing of religious or partisan nature shall be discussed in the locals, thus forestalling any attempt upon the part of political schemers to swing the organization into political entanglements, does not destroy the prerogatlve ot every American citizen to think and act for themselves in religious and political matters.
 we regret very much the con- ditions which have made this ac- tion necessary, but in ustice to all concerned we believe the result of our investigation should~b be made public. We have endeavored to fairly and impartially straighten out this entanglement, keeping in mind the best interests of our or der, and while some of us may have been overzealous as individuals in the interest of our political favorite the constitution has suffered no violence at the hand of any official.

DONAGHEY PEOPLES CHOICE
Indications Point to Large Major

Voters Determined to Nominate Man Whom They Can Trust, Says
 Little Rock Correspondent.

Little Rock. March 28-Special Correspondence By this time next week every voter ill the state will be ready to cast his vote for the candidate of his choice, and all indications point to George w. Donaghey as candidate to receive a large majority of these votes. Never before since he announced has everything appeared so favor able for Donaghey as at the pres ent time, with the indications pointing to the increase of his fol- lowing between now and the time for the casting of the votes. The people have reached the determin- ation to cast a vote for man whom they can trust, for all through his candidacy George w. Donaghey has stood by his principles, not abandoning one to grasp another, and above all things, being sincere in whatever in whatever announce ments he made. This has caused the people who have analysed the candidates to decide on Donaghey as the one with the courage of his convictions, and the best man to place at the head of the states ex- ecutive department. From every section of the state letters of en- couragement to the Donaghey headquarters come. The writers are sanguine in their belief that Donaghey Twill win, and report that the people fail to fall before the ruse to split his vote, and will stick by the peoples candidate to the bitter end.

Had it not been for the close at tention Justice E. H. Sanderson gives to his cases, collector for the Webb Furniture Go. might now be convicted Of insulting a woman. Instead, Sallie Lawrence, very intelligent negro woman has been sent to the county farm to serve out fine of $500 and costs for trying to blackmail the col lector. This collector went to the home of the Lawrence woman, who was indebted to the Webb company, and she being away from home, left a note to her written on the back of one of the cards of the company; asking that she give him some information concerning the time she would settle the aC- count. When the woman received this card she inserted some very insulting words. The card was then showed to her husband, and the two made very indignant de- mand in the court of Justice San for a warrant for the arrest of the collector. Justice Sanders looked at the card with the assistance ot a reading glass, and saw that part of the note was written with an ln- delible pencil, and the insertion was not. He then caused the ar rest of the woman. She was asked yesterday to write according to the dictation of the justice and the writing besides mistakes in capital ization, were the same, so her con, viction and fine followed.
