Donaghey's Campaign Manager.

fudge R. F. Milwee of Claren- don has accepted the position ot state manager of the Geo. w. Donaghey gubernatorial campaign, with headquarters in Little Rock and has entered upon his new du- ties. Robert J. Tory of this city was selected to act as the judges secretary, and is also at his post. There was a unanimous demand for Judge Milwee's services on the part of MT. Oonaghey's supporters before the recent primary election in this county, regardless of wheth- CT he was successful ill his race here or not but he declined to consider the proposition unless he won. The result of the primary left him free in his own mind to accept the fattering offer of the Donaghey people, and he hopes to conduct a campaign for his candi- date that will justify the conf dence reposed in his ability. The judge will not neglect his duties here, but will spend part of each week in his office at Clarendon.- Clarendon Sun.

Prof. Bullion for Representative.

This issue of the Log Cabin Democrat contains the formal an- nouncement of Prof. T. J. Bullion as a candidate for second term as representative of Faulkner county, subject to the Democratic primary. Prof. Bullion intends to make this race upon the record which he made in the last legislature, hold ing that a public official whose record is clean, who has been ef- 6cient and faithful to the interests of the people, is entitled under Democratic usages to a second term. With a man like Prof. Bull lion in the legislature the people of this county have no fear that their interests will not be guarded or that the good name of the coun- ty will be brought into disrepute by its representatives, misconduct. While not particularly prominent in field of debate, Prof. Bullion did his work on the quiet but doubt less more effectual way of personal influence among his colleagues, who at all times held him in the highest regard. He is in every sense of the word safe man for this position.

SPEAKS TO HOME PEOPLE,
Donaghey Addresses Large Crowd ct tho
 Court House Saturday Night

George w. Donaghey, Faulkner county's candidate for governor of Arkansas, spoke to large crowd of people of his home town at the court house Saturday. Not very widely advertised and being on Saturday with two other public en- tertainments in progress, it was not expected that many would at tend the speaking, but the house was crowded, probably two hum dred people being forced to stand.
 MT. Donaghey's address was not in the nature of campaign speech, as he realized it was un~ necessary to appeal from candi. dates standpoint to a people al- ready solid and enthusiastic in their support of him. He related some of the amusing occurrences of his campaign, telling some of the funny circumstances in which his unfamiliarity with politicians art had occasionally placed him. He mentioned several of groundless charges which had been brought against him by his opponents. At the opening of the joint canvass be- tween Hinemon, Kirby and Mo. Farlane, he said, for the first few weeks, the duty of roasting Donas ghey was assigned to only one ot these candidates at each appoint ment, and was made the closing feature of their speeches. Of lates however, the strength of the Faulk. ner county man had grown to such an extent that all three of his opponents took up the task ot jumping on" him at eachappoines ment, and each devoted about two. thirds of his time to that task.
 MT. Donaghey said that he con- fdently believed sixty-fve per cent of the Democrats of Arkansas would support him for governor.

 Resolved, by the Democratic central committee of Faulkner county, that we unqualifedly en- dorse the candidacy of MT. Dona- ghey and the principles which he is advocating, and we recommend him to the Democratic voters o1 the state of Arkansas as a man whose private life and character is above reproach, whose devotion to the cause of the common people cannot be questioned, who stands for honesty and economy in the administration of government and who is in every way fit and quail fled to discharge the duties of the office of governor in manner that will reflect credit on the Democra- cy and the entire citizenship of Arkansas.

CITY PRIMARY NEXT TUESDAY
Large Number Mentioned for
 AldermaniC HOnors.
Third Ward Voters Petition Bruce T. Bul- lion and K. B. McCuDOch to Run
 Other Probable Candidates.

With the city primary only few days distant, considerable interes. is being manifested in municipal politics, more especially in regard to the aldermen to be selected from the three wards. A petition, con taining the signatures ot about seventy voters in the third ward has been presented to Bruce T. Bullion and K. B. McCulloch, ask ing them to become candidates for aldermen of that ward. MT. Bull lion occupies that position at pres ent and E. w. Rogers, the other alderman from the third ward, has stated that he will not accept the honor again. Prof. w. E. Hogan has also consented 10 become a candidate from this ward.
 From present indications, there will be several names on the ticket for aldermen of the first ward. c. M. Walthall and J. M. Adams, the present incumbents, will probably make the race, and R. D. White, city recorder, will also seek the nomination for aldermen from this ward. Others mentioned for the position are John Hartley, l.. C. Holman and Leo Schwarz.
 In the second ward, no definite action has been taken toward the selection of candidates tor alder men, so far as is known. Among those mentioned are the present incumbents, C. H. Newborn and w. NJ. Harrell and Capt. w. w.. Martin, w. B. Stark, J. w. James and w. B. Wilson.
 The marshal's race also promises to be a warmly contested affair. Those who have announced for the place are J. R. Charles, Wash Cli- bourn and E. l.. King and 1t is said that w. s. Hendrickson and ]. A King may become candidates before the entries are closed.
 At this writing only one candi- date each has announced for the office of mayor and of recorder. F. E. Robins is a candidate to sue ceed himself as mayor and Opie Hartje is a candidate for recorder.
 It is thought probable that w. I. Wilkins will be elected for a second term as treasurer without opposition.
