 Surely Gov. Doneghey will not stand for the dirty, dishonorable and injurious practices that have marked Hot Springs wide open policy as son of rottenness in the Arkansas body polite.
 Governor, we've had faith in you and the back bone that prov ed the man in times past, but say, Governor, line up with the law and order and give the good name of old Arkansas some re- lief from the shame that the Hot Springs law breaking element are piling on it.
 You can do it Governor. The people know it and you don't have to line up in any factional fight to do it either.

Important Notice of the
 Enumeration.

To all Citizens of Brinkley, Wards 1, 2 and 3:
 1 have been appointed enumer- ator of the census for the 90th district, supervisors district No. 2 comprising the above territory, and I earnestly desire to impress the following upon the minds of our good people. The task of an enumerator is at the best a diffi- cult one, and it is the duty of every good citizen to assist him all in their power. We desire that not a man, woman or child that lives in any of the three wards of our city should be omit ted from the enumeration lists, and to that effect 1 respectfully make the following suggestions.
 As is often the case and will be in Brinkley in particular the head of the house is away from home during the hours i of the enumeration calls, and those in charge of the house are unable to give full information asked for, and to the end that this may be avoided would most respectfully urge upon you to leave the following informa- | tion with those in charge of the house. The following questions will be the most important ask ed:

Open War on ''Near Beer.

Atlanta, Ga, Apr. 1. War to the bitter end against the near beer traffic" in Georgia and the lack of law enforcement in some states formed the topics of a general discussion at this after moons session of the Southern Anti-Saloon League.
 After a tentative plan of act ion seeking the elimination of the near beer" saloons in this state has been decided on, Rev. w. M. Pinson, of Missouri, ad- dressed the league.
 Asserting that the same situa- ton formerly existed in that state as exists here, Rev. MT. Pinson declared that the present law has fully covered the case. He expressed his confidence that the Supreme Court of Georgla would decide against the near beer" if the matter was brought before it. = Commercial Appeal.

At the meeting of the Monroe Democratic Central Committee in Clarendon the returns of the primary were canyassed and the nominees declared aSs per the ARGUS report of t1s .tion last week. s< M
 The result in the 4Rree%ontest- ed offices gave the nomination of County Clerk to Jas. Engeb Treasurer to ". L.. Graham, As sessors to W. F. Jimmerson.
 as The matter of declaring the nominees for Justice of Peace of Brinkley township was the only cause of excitement. In the January primary Messrs. A. N. Bohlinger and Jas. A. Saine had the greatest number of votes on the face of the returns, over Messrs. Jonas Tomlinson and A. K. Cameron. This box was the bone of contention and the cause of the run over.
 A few weeks ago Messrs. Cameron and Tomlinson asked that their names be placed on the ticket but this was refused, it being claimed that there was no claim of contest for this office and therefore Messrs. Bohllnger and Saine were the legal nomi- nees. and no names for Justice was printed on the recent pri-

LAWRENCE ON DEFENSIVE.

to this we will say that Colonel
Hendrick has permitted few false
friends like Landram to put him out
of business already; and as to the
state primary, we want IL under
stood that we are not for any plan
that will place a property qualifica-
ton upon any mans right to run
for state Office.
Then Landram takes a whack at
John Keys. of Galloway county, and
does not like it because we have
lined up with him and his friends.
We want it understood that we are
a friend to John Keys, and he is
ours, and we do not care two hur-
rahs whether il suits Landram or
any other of the crowd with whom
he is now training.
We are at a loss to understand
why it is that Landram will mis-
represent us as he has done during
the last two issues of his paper after
assuring us that he was our friend.
Not that he was for us for state
senator. Even a difference of that
sort should not cause man who
has the right sort of heart in him
to accuse us of everything from
stealing to murder.
We have been told that Conn
Linn has repeatedly said that he
would see TO il that we were not his
successor in the senate, and it looks
like he has Landram employed TO
assist in his efforts, although Lam
dram bitterly denounced the action
of Linn during the last legislature.
and has pledged his friendship to us.
IL all shows that when a man
tries to be half way honest, whether
a private citizen or an aspirant for
office. there is nothing too mean for
his opponents to do when they
realize he will not serve them. re-
gardless of right or justice.
We may not be elected TO the
senate. II may be that we shall
never be a candidate, hut w will
say that ever since we have held
official position in the party we love.
we have never done anything we
would not do again under the same
circumstances. If that fails to please
George Landram and the gang of
political pirates with whom he is
ganging at present, we can not help
it and do not intend to try.
We shall continue to pursue the
even tenor of our way, serving the
people and their wishes as best We
can. and if we are to remain in pri-
vate life because we will not suffer
to be used by a band who
care nothing for the public good nor
the peoples rights, we shall accept
II as our lot and will never com

Editor George Landram, of the
Smithland Banner, not having the
nerve to endorse the action of Chris
man. Wells and Utley in their feeble
efforts to run the Third senatorial
district regardless of right or JUS
tice, seems to be in sympathy with
their high-handed methods, and
spends his time and space abusing
and disappearing the editor OF
the Record.
We want IL understood that we
are not squealing on account OF
what was attempted to be done. II
we can't go before the people and
get them to endorse what We are
for, then we are not entitled to
their support. and should not win.
But Landram yells long and loud
about the action of the committee
in calling a primary to re-nominate
Judge Num- last fall, and says we
we're the ring-tailed leader in that
movement.
If he had been as anxious to tell
a man whose friend he had pro-
fessed to be, he would have ascer-
tanned the facts before making this
statement. The truth is that we re-
fused to call that committee to-
gether for an early primary until
asked to do so by a majority of the
committee. as provided by the party
law. Notwithstanding the fact we
we're Judge NUNS friend. IL is
further true that when the PROPOSE
ton for an early primary was voted
on, we were one of the three who
voted against il. Dan Fiser, of Mar
shall, and w. F. Bradshaw, Jr., of
McCracken, being the other two.
Landram further says that We
plunged the bloody knife, politically
speaking. into Judge Reed and John
Lovett. This is also maliciously un-
true. We never did an injustice to
Judge Reed in our life; and as to
John Lovett, we were his friend at
time in his life when he needed a
friend. and while he has always said
he wanted the opportunity to repay
that friendship, his action toward
us at the meeting that called Judge
Nunn's primary may be taken as an
indication that his gratitude no
longer exists; and the fact that he
and Judge Reed both, while not liv-
ing in this district, are now taking
some hand in the fight in this dis
trict. may be for the purpose that
they know we will not do the bid
ding of their friends.
1t is further charged by Landram
that we are trying to iut JohnfIten7
drick out of business and that we
are for rich mans primary to
nominate a state ticket. In reply
