Little Rock, Ark, July l2.~- Wh"'l Stumping the state to be elected al torney general, Hal l.. Eorwood In- formed the voters if elected he would spend his entire time in an honest endeaYor to make them a good attor- ney general He has made good on his promise and by the hardest sort of work, running every day into the night, he has kept up with the de- mand made upon him for legal opn- ions He has been away from the office one day since he was inaugu- rated. except when he went on offl- cial business. This one day he was off to deliver a speech, and nothing political entered into his discussion on that occasion.
 Attorney General Norwood has gone ahead under the heavy strain without complaint, but the work required If him in the office is sufficient to re- quire every minute of his time with out turning to many of the outside re- quests which are made for official opinions from persons who have no

right to make a demand for his ser vices. The duties of the attorney gen. eral have greatly increased in the past two years. These increases Gen eral Norwood must meet with the same force provided for the office years ago, one stenogr32hcr and all assistant Other states provide the office with from three to a dozen as sistants with law clerks also. and as many stenographers as are needed. The attorney general of Arkansas must look after the interest of the state in the Supreme court, the Fed eral court and in State or Chancery courts, where the interests of the state are at stake, He has had more of this to dc in the past year than any predecessor and has been success full in it all, Besides this the attorney general is required to serve on the board which is responsible for the management oI the penitentiary and reform school, is a member of the Board of Municipal Interpretations, the Board of Review of Donation Contests, State Election Board and Board of Railroad interpretations. which is enough to require the entire time of less active man. In addition to this. he IS the legal adviser of the Boards of Railroad Commissioners, Tax Com mission, Pension, State Debts. Com mon School Funds, Medical, Pharma- cy, Health and many other boards which at times present knotty aues- tions which require hours of diggine through law books to unravel. B. general is daily called upon by one 0 another state official for advice upol the legal procedure in connectio with some item in the discharge C his duty.

 Many persons writes to Attorney General Norwood upon purely prl vate matters in which neither the county or state has an interest. While he would like to accommodate them with all answer, it is impossible fol him to do so, as he is too busy a man to give unofficial letters attention, SC his stenographer mails to these people a circular letter explaining the duties of the attorney general.
 Attorney General Norwood is active in the discharge of all duties in con- nection with state boards of which he is member and has not missed a board meeting since his inauguration.
 There are many criminal cases on appeal in the Supreme court, and many have been disposed of during the present term, and nearly every one affirmed The fact that the other duties of the attorney generals of flee require the close attention of Mir.
