deputy Goodwin had political
 bee in h.s hat for the coming cleo
 ton, it being stated that he would i make the race for sheriff. The move
 was figured by Brewster and his fol- lowers as a plan to re-elect Philpot and give Goodwin a better opportunity to make the race two years from now. Brewster would not yield to the de- mands of his friends to wait, for he
 dSured that race with Goodwin
 would be just as hard to make as one the coming year, with Philpot as his opponent. Philpot declares that there was no deal; that he needed a good man in his office when John c. Alex ander retired and that Goodwin WIS willing and he gave it to him. He has made no promises. he says, and will not make any. Brewster took an active interest ih the last mayoralt:; contes. Il Whicn br L. Caldwel, secretary of the Board of Trade. was defeated by Mayor W. l.. Toney The Board of Trade members urged Brew ste" to keep his hands off He said He was for Toney. but that he was not using his official influence to bring about his election.
 And There Are Others.
 Judge A. B. Grace. circuit judge of this district and regarded as the best jurist on the bench in Arkansas, will have no oppos tion. At least none has developed up to the present time. County Clerk J. H. Shelby and Treas urer Curran M. NichoI, both of whom will offer for a second term, may also be unopposed, although some rumors say that there are some prospective candidates talked of.
 County Judge James Gould. the Good Roads builder, will offer for a third term. It is rumored that At torney s. J. Hunt, former representa- tive from this county, will oppose him. In the assessors race L. T. Sallee will offer for reelection. He will in all probability be opposed by J. H. Cotton Smith. City Clerk w. A, Lee and c. E. Lytle, of Althemer will probably make the race for cir cult clerk. Lytle was former county examiner and City Clerk Lee is one of of the best clerical men in the county Constable Frank Stewart, who is now serving his third term as constable. is being urged to run again by his many friends. Stewart is a terror" to the negro and white criminals of this county and his record as an off, cer is one of the best in the state + is rumOred that Jack Caperton, 2 Cotton Belt employe, will seek the office now held by Stewart The lat ter wants to get out of the ''politcal game" but so much pressure is being brought by his friends that he will most likely offer for fourth term.
 Shattering the Principles.
 The Democratic principles, in which former Governor Jeff Davis set a
 third term precedent in this state few years ago, will be smashed to smithereens in the prosecuting attor- neys race in this district again. f Judge w. D. Jones, now holding his third term in that office. decides to make the race again. It is reliably stated that Judge Jones has deci idea to ask for a fourth term at the hands of his constituents in Jefferson, Lin coin and Desha counties, which com pose the Eleventh Judicial Circuit, Attorney T. Havis Nixon, prominent young criminal lawyer of this city, has been an avowed candidate ever since the last prosecuting attorneys race, when he and former City Attor- ney w. T. Young, of this city, were defeated by Judge Jones. then a can, didate for third term. The contes. was the most spectacular ever held n this district and many personalities were indulged in. The candidates spoke all over the district and charges and counter charges were made. Nix on has been strengthening his fences since the last race. Judge Jones anl Attorney Nixon will most likely be the only two aspirants for that office.
