The democracy of Fayetteville have certainly given these gen tlemen to understand that they will have no more "back stair or star chamber" politics, but demand free. fair, and open cleo tions. Please also to remember that this is the same committee who last year PRESUMED" that the democrats did not want primary.
 This disposes of my action ir securing primary for Fayette- vile.
 Let LIS now consider the actions of NIT. Mulholland and the other disorganizers following this. The leaders of the workers for a primary sent word to Mr. Null holland that If he would submit his name to this primary, with a full DEMOCRATIC ticket, he would be reelected without opposition. Mr. Lake. the only one announc- ing subject to the primary, stat ed frequently that lie would with draw if Mr. Muiholland would submit his name to this primary, his only object being to keep up democratic organization.
 But Mir Mulholland had exi- dently come 10 believe that the democracy of Fayetteville had become so contaminated by bood- lers. grafters, gamblers and whis- key peddlers that HE could not afford to become their leader even without opposition.
 And now. as to their statement that the majority of the demo- crats of Fayetteville did not want primary, and that the DEMOCRATS reelected NIT. Mulholland. The fact is that Mir. Mulhollauds name was put on the ticket for the city general election, April ,, 1907, on the petition of thirty-four men claiming to be democrats. Mr. Geo. T. Lake. polled 222 votes in the primary. Draw your own conclusions. gentlemen. Further, in the general city election, April 2, 1907 Mr. Lake. then the nominee of the primary. boiled SS1 votes. h the general state election in the fall of. .19o6, Nr- Little, democratic nominee for governor polled 532 votes III the town of Fayetteville Thus its seen that NIr.

 And now their final staternent. that their circular k not to# be construed as issued in the inter- est of Mr. NulhoiHand This circular was drafted and signed Il AIr. Nalho..and's office February =. 1aas. .east one thousand lapie> were printed the neAt
The Springdale news., 1908-03-20

A circular bearing the date of February 2, 1908, and signed by the members of the City Demo- cratic Committee of Fayetteville has been printed and copies have been sent to reliable" men iu every township iu the county to be sprung near the close of the canvass in tile interest of Mr- (. A. Mulholland's candidacy for the sheriff's office. The object evidently Is to put these out too late for all answer and thus mis- lead the voters. That this Is the object is shown by the fact that they were written February p. and so far. nearly three weeks, have only been made public II the townships already eanvassed. and there very guardedly. This of course. Is an old campaign trick, and l am strong in the be- lief that the democrats of Wash ington county are too wise to be fooled in any such manner.
 Let me say right here that l have no personal interest what ever in the race for sheriff, or any other office; and, had this eireu- lar not contained an attack on me, I would have had 10 reason for answering 1t. My personal ac. quaintance with Mr. Mulholland is very slight, knowing him by sight only since the beginning of the present canvass.
 This circular virtually charges that II was necessary to go out side the democratic party to get honest men to serve the city of Fayetteville in such way as to get proper business adminlstra- tion of city affairs.
 IL further eonfuses the election of 1906 with the election of 1907 Tn such a manner as to nislead the casual reader. It further charges that l called city fri- mary against the expressed wish es of all the City Committee. con- trary to the desire of the major ity of the democratic voters of the city, and against the advice of ny attorney. It further al- leges that Mr. Mulho1land was REFLECTED MAYOR BY THE DEM- ocKATs of Fayetteville, as a re- buke to my action. And last. of about the same quality as tie rest of their assertions, they have the assurance to assert that their circular is not in the interest of .MulhoIland's < candidacy.
 Now, let us consider these points In detail.
 Do you believe that 1t is ueIes- Sary to go outside the democracY of avettegifle to find six honest men to serve on the eitv council. Men who vii give theIr time honestly and 1onSeientiouSiy to the eau>e ot the pubi1cz don L and cannot believe shat anyone else does wtla knows tic Demo crats of I dyettevIiIe.
 And now to the election mat ters In 1a06 many democrats thought 1t might be well to try d mixed ticket. This sentiment was by no means unanimous. but a sufficient number desired Il to cause a mixed ticket 10 be nomi- hated with A1r. Muiholland al it's head. This ticket was elected practically without opposition. But before the year was out great many democrats realized that ! mistake had been made. They then endeavored ro get the City Committee to ea.i a primary. and three members o9 the Civ Committee eame to De If the aplHian that | primary should be

week, and carefully put away, to be used at the proper time and place; Mir. Mulholland to name such time and place. The time for free distribution has not yet arrived. as there yet remains time for an answer to be placed before the people. The inten- tion evidently was to spring these too late for an answer to be placed before the people. But. as usual in the management of such matters, some of them fell into the hands of the wrong person and were forwarded to me in time to answer.
 Now fellow democrats, unless We rebuke such actions as these of Mr. Mulholland and the mem- bers Of the city committee of Fay etteville, We will go into the re- publican column as surely as did Missouri in 1904. and Kentucky this year. In both these states trouble began by sustaining the disruptionlsts and destroying To- cal rganization. Ii We ever hope 10 succeed in impressing demoeratie principles on the Ma tional Government We must hold efficient local organizations. Some of Mir. Mulholland $ strongest supporters are Repub- licans. and they are working for him all over the county. Gan you blame them? His record in appointing Republicans to good. paying jobs, referred to above, should make them love him i'll this land of short picking for that party. Possibly they hope to land few =deputy-ships, and control a few of the favors of the sheriff's office.
 This statement IS practically an account of my efforts to sus- tain the democratic organization of Fayetteville and Washington county while serving as its off, cial head. In all my actions l have endeavored to serve the good of the party as whole, and not any faction, clique or ring. In all 1 have done have been open and above board, and avoided the resort to trlCkery, chicanery and doub1e-dealing. In this work 1 have lost time, money and friends, but all this l will count well spent Ii the rank and file of the party are brought to q fuil realization of the treaeh- eryof some eE their sci appoint ed readers

Muiholiand has four opponents. either of whom i> fa5fY as competent as he iS to perform the datie> of the >heriiis office.

With the approval of all the members of the executive committee of the County Central Committee except one, l called primary for Fayettvllle to be held on March q. 1907. This brought storm about my ears, and at the invita- tion of the Fayetteville City Committee 1 met with them in k. ]. Wilson's office to discuss my action. My attorney. Mir. ]. Wythe Walker. accompanied me. At first MT. Walker stated that he had not considered the law In this case sufficiently to give an opinion. But after q full and free discussion he stated that the democrats of Fayetteville were entitled to q primary, and to sus- pend that right and privilege would require q distinct ma jority of the City Committee, and con- sequently, If three members of the city committee approved my action and would support me in 1t I was clearly in the right. Three members of the City Com nittee did agree to support me in this action, as the following statement will show:
 Fayetteville, Ark, March b. 109s. We, the undersigned, were present at the meeting of the Democratic Committee of Fay etteville, in K. J. Wilson's office, in March, 1907, when Dr. r. B. Young, Chairman of the County Central Committee. met with said City Committee to discuss his action in the matter of hold- ing a primary election for the city of Fayetteville in 1907. We heard three members of said City Go III n tt : 2, viz: I. G. Combs, ]. E. \ vaughan, and ]. NJ. :. Williams state to pr. Young that his action met with their approval and that they would support him III the same. "

 As a further evidence that was in the right let me call your attention to the fact that the City Democratic Committee of Fay etteyille. under the date of March 4. 1908. has issued call for city primary 10 be held March 20, 1908. They have evi- dently come to the conclusion that the Democrats oi Fayette- vile DEMAND, AND WILL HAVE, a primary.
