MAY APPOINT RELATIVE
Taft Balks at Republican Ma
 chine Recommendations
For Fort Smith Postmastership--Fig Also On for Little Rock Ap-
 poin .ment.

Little Rock, Sept 3.-Of all the recommendations from state Repub- lican committees over the United States will Pres. w. H. Taft make an exception of the Fort Smith postoffice and turn down the party nominee for a relative of Mrs. Taft's sister? There is a decided opinion here, and among the way up Republican politicians, too, that he will.
 Capt. F. w. Tucker has just returned from a summer vacation spent at Peabody, Mass. which is just 20 minutes by trolley car from Beverly. the summer home of Pres, Taf4. He was also only few min utes from Gen. Powell Clayton, the Republican boss of Arkansas. The two were together afterwards and Capt. Tucker comes back with the report that he never had an audience with Pres. Taft, and did not seek one, but it is known he was pretty chummy with Postmas- ter Hitchcock and it is surmised both the Forth Smith and Little Rock offices were taken up in these discussions.
 The Republicans here are work ing for principle, and they do not wish the custom of recommending postmasters deviated from. The confirmation of Frank Bumgar- dener, recommended by the com mittee, has been held up and J. B. Moore, a brother of the husband oi Mrs Tafts sister, is the cause oi 1t. This is openly admitted. The party powers think if Moore is SC. lected to fill the Fort Smith job il will break the back of the organi- zation. Pres. Taft has declined tC discuss the subject and the present postmaster, James Brizzolara, is serving until successor is appoint ed. No appointment will be made in this ottlCe before December, so the politicians now believe.
 Capt. Tucker is an adherent oi H. K. Cochran, of this city, who is a candidate for the Little Rock postmastership. U. $. Bratton is au opponent. Capt. Tucker is supposed to have put ill good word for his friend while in con- sultation with Postmaster General Hitchcock. President w. s. Holt is candidate for re-appointment and he, too, will work outside the organization and direct with the president, so the Republicans are pulling every wire they can to pr vent the appointment of an out side candidate. It IS said there will be some serious charge filed against one of the candidates be- fore the state central committee gets through with the matter in its December meeting.

GOVERNOR DONACHEY
 SPEAKS AT DANYILLE

Governor George w. Donaghey delivered an address at the big picnic and educational rally at Danville yesterday to one of the largest crowds that ever attended picnic in Yell county. Ben l.. Griffin of this city and H. M. Jac- oway of Dardanelle, candidates from the fifth congressional dis trict also delivered speeches in the interest of their candidacy.

Levee Builders Busy.

Dardanelle, September 3-Levee builders are not worried over lack of work in this part of the state. Thousands of dollars will be spent in this vicinity during the next few months on improvements of this kind. When the entire sys- tenn is completed it will be one of the most noteworthy and valuable engineering feats ever carried out in Yell county. Gardens Bottom is one of the most fertile tracts of land on the Arkansas river, but the damage resulting from annual over flows has made farming a hazard ous business. The new system of levees is expected to remedy this evil and will result in doubling the value of the land. All work is to be completed by Dec. 20, ac- cordiug to the contracts.

HEAVY RA|NFALLS
 AT ROCKY GAP

A phone message received at I2:3o today from Rufus Haydon at Rocky Gap, states that a heavy rain fell there at noon. This IS the first rain that has fell in the county in about three weeks and is probably too late in the season to help crops very much. The weather has moderated here during the past hour and the prospects are good for a rain by night.

LABOR DAY WILL
 BE OBSERVED HERE

As next Monday, September 6, Labor Day, is legal holiday, both banks and the postoffice will be closed. The rural carriers of the county will take advantage of the day and will organize a rural car riers' association, the meeting to be held at the court house. Sev- eral from here will attend the La Dor Day celebration at Little Rock.
 Accompanied by her father, Rev. J. B. Stevenson, Miss Lutie Stevenson left this morning for Stephens, Ouachita county, where she will teach in the public school during the next session. Rev.
 Stevenson will return in day or two, after getting Miss Lutie com fortably situated. Baxter Steven son, his son, will teach in the Magnolia school this year, leaving for that place next week. R. H. Cannon, who graduated from Hen- drix College this summer, will be principal ot the Magnolia school.

OFFICE SEEKERS
 GETTING READY MANY CANDIDATES TORUN Woods will be Full of Inspirants for Political Offices. Second Term of All Officers but Two Ex- pire and Hard-Fought Contests are
 Expected.

With the dates fixed by the state Democratic convention for the biennial primary only six months away, aspirants for the various officers to be filled are al ready making known their ambi- tions to the dearpeople. Announce ments of several state candidates : have already appeared, while few of the county candidates have in dicated their intention to make their announcements within short time.
 Besides a full set ol state officers, in which there will be contests for more than half the positions. there are district offices in which Faulk ner county is interested. One of the most important will be the race for congressman from the Fifth congressional district. In this race there will be Ben L. Griffin of this county, Secretary of State O.. c. Ludwig of Little Rock and H. M. Jacoway of Dardanelle, all of whom are avowed candidates. M. E. Dunaway, formerly of Con- way, but now of Little Rock, is also said to be seriously consid- ering the proposition of entering this contest and until recently Congressman c. C. Reid was counted as a probable candidate to succeed himself, but he has now announced his intention to retire temporarily from politics.
 The contest for railroad commits sioner from this district also prom ises to be warm one. Commis ssioner R. P. Allen will seek re- election and will be opposed by former President of the State Sen ate Jess M. Martin of Russellville, with the probability of others an- nouncing before the entries are closed.
 For chancellor of the Ninth dis trict, Judge J. G. Wallace will probably ask to be reelected, and it is reported that Attorney Jordon Sellers of Morrilton whom he de feated four years ago, will be likely again to oppose him.
 In the Seventeenth judicial dis trict, it is not believed that either Judge Eugene Lankford or Pros ecuting Attorney George w. Clark will have no opposition. as both are serving their first terms and have made good records.
 Faulkner County Candidates.
 Coming closer home this happens to be the time, which occurs o-ly every eight years, when Faulkner county will select the Democratic nominee for state senator the from the Twenty Fourth senator ial district. For this position there will doubtless be more than one candidate. although no one has as yetpositively announced his intentions of making the race. Among those spoken of in connec, ton with position are Judge P. H. Prince, Prof. J. M. c. Waugh ter, J. R. Donnell and J. A. Lea of this city and Gus Bush, a we'll known merchant of Vilonia.

EXAMINING TRIAL
 AT COURTHOUSE

The evening trial of Albert and Man Wright and Charley Smith of Vilonia is being held at the court house today before Justice of the Peace w. B. Wilson. The men, it is alleged, stole COW from George Petty, who also charges that they butchered the animal and peddled it out in neighbor hood. The trial will probably continue until late hour tonight as there are many witnesses to be examined. George w. Clark, George Shaw and G. w. Bruce are representing the state and the defense is represented by R. G. Bruce and I. M. Campbell.

Porter Arrested.

John Britton, porter for Hotel de Hines, was arrested this morn ing on charge of drdmming on the depot platform, but his trial was continued until next Wednesday on account of witnesses being ab- sent.

The log cabin Democrat., 1909-09-03

there IS expected merry tree-for- all scramble The second terms of all officers except representative and county clerk expire with the next election, and there will be a hot fight for every position except probably one.
 For representative J A Batson is expected to seek second term, but is practically sure to have op- position. William H. Prince of this city has already announced his intention to make the race, as has A. Q. Melton of Wilson township. Others who are either considering the matter or have been suggested are G. D. Sowell of Cypress township. J. D. Stein sick of East Fork, J. H. Chrissen- berry of Danley and J F. Campbell ot Conway.
 Probably the most furious and fast race will be that for the office of sheriff. In this contest there will be six men we'll known in county politics, with still others figuring on getting into the game. The six are A. Nj. Ledbetter, Dep uty Sheriff J. S. Johnson, Asses sor w. w. Bishop, David Stewart and J. s. Carter of Conway and R. Haydon of Benedict township. Among others who may enter are E. H. Edwards of Cypress town ship, J. P. Guatney of Palarm. w. K. Henry of California and c. o. Payne ot Union.
 Another interesting contest will be that of circuit clerk. Former County Clerk J. H. Hartje, Mayor A. J. Witt and J. w. Akin of this city have already stated they will be in the race for this office, and I. G. Williams of Clifton township will probably be candidate. R. F. Adams of Cadron township and I. E. Wofford, former deputy clerk, are also mentioned as possi- ble candidates.
 For county clerk, it seems that there will be no opposition to J. H. Bailey, who will ask for a second term.
 Only one man has as yet pos itively stated he will be candi- date for county judge, John w. Holt of this city. w. K. Mo Henry of Palarm township and Esq. J. w. Hancock of Harve township are both seriously con sidering making the rice, and there is possibility that Judge J. A. Lea will again seek to succeed himself.
 There will be full field of can- didates for county treasurer, from the present indications Among those who either avowed or prob able candidates for this position are w. T. Wilson, s. E. An derson and w. T. Piercey of this city, Allen White of Cypress township. R. K Wilkerson of Eagle and J. E. Mounger of Newton.
 The usual full turn out is prom ised in the race for assessor. In the list of those who mentioned for this office are w. N. Jones, c. M. Hancock, R. A. Reynolds, Dr. E o. Brannon and E. l.. King of Conway, Thurston Fulmer ot Cad ron township and '. w. Gavin of Eagle.
 From the foregoing list, it will be seen that there is little likeli- hood of any office being vacant during the next term for the want of an aspirant to fill it. Not all of the men mentioned will be in the race, but there are doubtless others who will be heard from before the campaign begins, but whose aspir ations have not yet become gener- ally known.
