Moorehead, l9 years old, sustained injuries from which be died a few hours later, and his father, Dr. Moore head, was seriously injured and physi- cians are making determined effort to save his life. Young Moorehead died ill Cotton Belt baggage car while being brought to this city, to be taken to Little Rock hospital for treatment. His body was taken charge of by H. l. Holderness, local undertaken, and was taken back to Stuttgart Saturday noon by younger brother for interment. The young mans mother accompanied the body here, being with her son and husband in the baggage car when the young man died. Young Moorehead was conscious up to the end and the scene between his parents, one of whom lay beside him on an adjoining cot, was most pathetic. He realized that the end was near. and the last words to his mother were touching in the ex- treme Mrs. Moorehead remained with her injured husband. and after ar irving in Pine Bluff, took him to Lit tie Rock on an early morning Iron Mountain train Saturday.

All this, his friends declare. will make him an opponent worthy of the steel of any man in Arkansas when it comes to a test of strength on the hustlings. He is said to be financially able to take care of a long,arduous campaign, and, above all else. it is declared, is highly ambitious to rep resent his state in the Senate.
 Senator Davis record as a cam paigner is also we'll known and is not underestimated, even by political op- ponents. Moreover, he never prac- tices running away from a fight, and it is estimated that his declaration 70 stand fer reelection to the Senate is based on the fact that opposition has developed to his election to second term.
 Incidentally. it is the opinion ill pO- litical circles that Congressman Rob- inson will not be candidate for the United States Senate. at least not at the coming election. Friends of Con- gressman Robinson and eN-Congress- man Brundidge months ago expressed the opinion that should Brundid@e or Robinson announce emphatically for the Senate against Davis. the other would not enter. and for this reason if ie, baliayod that poiincoO uiII mt enter the contest. His friends de clare that he has q cinch on<the job as congressman from the Sixth D & trict as long as he wants it, anyway and that he would be throwing away certainty for what might prove a very uncertain proposition should he enter three-cornered senatorial fight.
