Little Rock Democratic Municipal Nomi-
 nees to Have Opposition.

Little Rock, Jan. 8. Special
 Just to keep up the hot times of the past year, when Little Rock had about a dozen elections, count ing special elections and primaries, there will be something doing at the city election in the spring The Republicans and Socialists will both put tickets in the race, which will make it interesting for the Democratic candidates. The Republicans have signifed their intention of putting in full ticket, with the exception of few wards, where the Democratic candidate will be indorsed. Little Rock is strong in Republicans, and has had a Republican once to sit in the chair of the chief executive, w. G. Whipple, who was elected on a citizens ticket. On several occa- sions there have been Republicans in the city council, and negro was at one time police judge.

Faucctte Quits Race for Mayor

Little Rock, Jan. 7.-Special.- Matters were not relieved yesterday by the announcement of w. C. Faucette, mayor of Argenta, that he would withdraw from the race and not be a candidate for re-elec- tion, as 1t is expected his following will within the next day or so, cause the announcement of a we'll known railroad man of that town as candidate against John Farm CT, the only man now in the race. Farmer was putout by the law and order element in opposition to Eau cette, who has served four terms as mayor. His withdrawal was quite surprise, but his opponents ex- pect him to strike somewhere else, he being too strong fighter to lie down in front of the opposition.

WAS FAVORABLY RECEIVED
Official News of B. T. Bulllon's Appoint
 ment Pleases Little Rock People.

Little Rock, Jan. 9 Special The official announcement yes terday of Governor Elect Geo. w. Dpnaghey that he had selected Bruce T. Bullion as his private secretary, caused much favorable comment during the day. Secre- tary Bullion, who is also secretary of the state Democratic central committee, is very popular in Lit tie Rock, and will be welcomed royalty by the lstate house colony.
 Secretary Paul Little, who re- tires with Governor Pindall, will return to Greenwood, his former home, and practice law for a year, then enter the race for prosecuting attorney of Sebastian and Scott counties. He has also served as adlutant general of the Arkansas state guard for the past two years and in retiring, leaves the position to Secretary Bullion, who is also we'll versed in military tactics. Adj. Gen. Little leaves the state militia in such excellent condition that Secretary Bullion can step right into the office without fear or care, as the strings are laid right right where he can pick them up.

HOW THE ANTI-RACING LAW HAS
 HURT" HOT SPRINGS.

In view of the howl sent up by Hot Springs business men and oth CTS that the anti-racing law has ruined" the Vapor City as a re sort, 1t is interesting to read the an nual report of Secretary of the Ir. terior James R. Garfield which has just been submitted to Congress "The condition of affairs at Hot Springs, Ark. <" says the report Sis greatly improved. This is largely attributable to the passage of state laws which eliminated from Hot Spring very undesirable class of persons, thereby making the city much more attractive. The report goes on to show how many baths were given, how much the government received for water and ground rents, and concludes with this significant sentence: "The number of visitors was greater thar sn any previous year. "
 Any senator or representative 1T the legislature who would vote tc permit betting on racing in Ho Springs, would thereby not only be tray his state, but would betray the best interests, both fnancia and moral, or even Hot Spring' itself.

 The decision was rendered inn mediately upon the completion of a I2 hour argument by Col. w. L.

GOVERNOR DONAGHEY'S JOB

less the state general tax rate is raised. A lower tax rate has been the policy of the incoming govern or. To meet the expenses of the state government without increas- ing the rate of taxation is one of the problems Mir. Donaghey will have to grapple with.
 He is pledged to an abolition of the convict lease system. But the present ,holders of profitable contract will never surrender it until every means to keep 1t has been exhausted. He also favors working these convicts on the public roads. But this will be ad- ditional expense to the depleted treasury, because the convicts can not thus maintain themselves.
 MT. Donaghey's biggest task, however, will be the satisfactory completion of the new state capi- tol. This is one of the principal blanks in his platform, and the people expect and believe that the capitol will at last be finished without a suspicion of further graft.
 The railroad rate question, the proposed system of agricultural ed ucation, state wide prohibition, the tax system-these and hun dreds of other questions will face the new governor.
 In the solution of all these prob lens there will be varied and di- verse interests at work. Every proposition will have its advocates and it's opponents. The struggle to secure some of the policies of the state government will neces- sarily be long aud bitter.
 We trust that in passing judg- ment upon the official acts of Gov ernor Donaghey, the people will take these things into considera- tion. There will be many things that the governor cannot do, how ever much he and the people may desire to have them done. The governor is only one arm of the state government. The legislature powerful to accomplish any reform.
 But we know that George w. Donaghey is going to make an honest, earnest and untiring effort to give the people of Arkansas the best administration they have ever had. And if difficulties beset him, if he fails in some things or many, we believe that he will end his term even stronger in the conf- dence of the people than when he entered the office of governor.

PRESERVING ARKANSAS HISTORY.

Every patriotic Arkansan should possess a copy of Vol. ? Of the Publications of the Arkansas His torical Society, which has just been issued from. the press, by the sec retary of the organization, John Hugh Reynolds, gifted son of Faulkner county, who is now pro- lessor of history in the University of Arkansas. Aside from the fact that it is edited by Prof. Reynolds and contains several chapters from his pen, the volume is also of pecu- liar local interest in that it contains two able articles by other former citizens of this county" A History of Taxation in Arkansas by Dr. David Y. Thomas. former professor In Hendrix College, is a compre- hensive and concise of study the states means of raising revenue from the time it became a ter ritory until the present day. "Graves of Eminent Men," by j.. s. Utley of Benton, native ot Faulkner county, is an interesting description of the last resting places of the most prominent men who are buried in Arkansas soil, to- gether with brief sketch of their lives. A chapter of absorbing interest is history of reconstruc- ton in Arkansas county by w.. H. Halliburton. How the treas ury of the state was plundered by the carpet-baggers is perhaps al- ready we'll known to most people of the state, but the infamous abuses in county affairs has prob ably never before been so graphi- .cally described as by this writer. There is, in fact, not one of the GOO pages of the books, that does not contain matter of the greatest i'm portance to the history of the state.
 We are informed that the officers of the association personally as- sumed an obligation of about S4oo in order that the volume might be given to the public. Copies are sold to members of the association who pay annual dues at SI.oo each, and to others at $2 %. The book Is we'll worth the latter price to anyone who is at all interested in his state. Orders should be ad- dressed to Secretary J. H. Reyn- olds, Fayetteville, Ark.

 IS ANNOUNCED

Little Rock, Jan. 8.-Gov- Elect George w. Donaghey today off, cially announced the appointment of Bruce T. Bullion of Conway, secretary of the State Democratic central committee, as his private secretary.
 It has been known for some time among his intimate friends that MT. Bullion would be Gov. Dona- ghey's secretary, and the appoint ment was unofficially announced in The Log Cabin Democrat sev- eral weeks ago. MT. Bullion is moving his family to the capital city today.
The log cabin Democrat., 1909-01-14

No man, we believe, ever as sumed the office of governoe of Arkansas of whom so much is ex- pected as George w. Donaghey, who will soon be inaugurated.
 Naturally and politically MT. Donaghey is we'll equipped to meet these expectations of the people. He is endowed with a clear brain; he has given evidence of strong executive ability; his disposition is agreeable, and he makes and keeps friends; he has a "bull-dog" tenacity of purpose, he is in the prime of life and possess es robust physque. He has lived in dire poverty andincompara- tive wealth; his work has been such that he has been intimately associated with at once the lowest typt of labor and the man of wealth and high position, and he is thus familiar with every class of clti- zenship with which he will have to deal.
 To these natural qualifications he has added, through many years of close observation and study and through one year of intense appli- cation, research and travel, an un- usual knowledge of the problems of state government. No governor elect has ever more arduously en- deavored better to fit himself for the office than has George w.. Donaghey during the past year.
 He will go into office with the personal friendship of all of the state officers with whom he will be associated. By carefully avoiding even a semblance interference with their prerogatives, he commands the respect of the members of the general assembly,. And, finally, no one was ever stronger in the confident and affections of the peo- pie.
 This, then, though briefly and imperfectly summarized, is the equipment of Arkansas next gov. ernor with which he must deal with the problems of his state. It would seem that he should exper- fence no difficulty in the solution of any of them.
 But difficulties now perhaps un- seen will inevitably rise up to block his path of progress.
 The state treasury now contains $So, 900 less than when the legis- lature convened two years ago. A deficit, barely avoided last year, seems almost certain next year, un- can render that arm powerless or
