GARFIELD WON'T
ENDORSE Mr.. TAFT
Ohio Politics Cause Sudden Sur
prise in Republican Party.
Peace Suggested.
MANY ARE UNRESTRICTED
Want Money to Enter Race, But
He Has Eye on State
Portfolio.
MANY ARE UNINSTRUCTEI

COLUMBUS. o., July 25.-There
was widespread surprise throughout
the administration wing OF the repub-
lican party to-day, because OF a report
that Garfield's strength as guber-
material candidate and an advocate OF
progressive platform has caused the
Cox Burtou-Dick combination to con-
slider peace negotiations with the for
mer secretary of the interior.
II is understood on good authority
that the regular republicans intend to
offer Garfield the nomination at the
State convention which will open here
tomorrow II he will endorse the Taft
administration. On the other hand,
anticipating the move the friends OF
Garfield have made II plain that their
candidate will go no further toward
endorsing the president than FOR his
good intcntions."
The platform now. as at all times
previous, Is Garf,elds chief item. and
he Will willingly let the nomination
pass IL he can procure the adoption
OF progressive platform.
Many Uninstructed.
Another feature. which adds interest
to the convention Ia the fact that the
balance of power lies with the unin-
structed delegates.
No one man comes anywhere near
controlling a majority of the dele
gates.
The latest conference between Dick
and Burton have set in motion the re-
port that Burton wants to back
Speaker Granville w Mooney. Of
Ashtabuia county.
Mooney. however. asserts that he Is
candidate for secretary OF state and
expects to be nominated, but there IL
a AT ~
situation demand It. Mooney may be
sprung as a dark horse In an attempt
to stampede the convention away from
Garfield and his platform policies. AS
the politicians now understand II. the
race lies between GARFIELD and War
rem q. Harding. of Marion.
Shadows Gather.
The shadow Of Foraker Is growing
more and more dense about the Hard
ing camp. Since the. establishment of
headquarters for the lieutenant Coy
erisor and the apparent bewilderment
of the organization leaders, the old
Foraker followers have emerged from
the woods with semblance OF their
former fighting enthusiasm.
The situation Ia amusing to the on
lockers. and there will be many sly
wink at the discontinue OF Senator
Burton II he Is compelled to nominate
Harding with the help OF the Foraker
crowd. Such a situation would re-
dound to the political credit of the
man whom Burton and his friends as
sisted into private life.
The latest word from the organiza-
ton camp intimates that Burton has
told his friends another term OF Har-
mon would be better than Garfield as
governor.

CORRESPONDENTS of the Memphis
Commercial Appeal state that serious
opposition to Amendment No. 10 has
developed in the "black belt" of east
ern Arkansas. The negroes of that
section are said to fear that, by
means of the initiative, the people
will enact a law segregating the
school taxes of the white and col
ored races, which of course would re-
suit in the close of majority of the
negro schools in the state. Bills for
this purpose have several times been
introduced in the legislature and
have passed one house more than
once, but eastern Arkansas influ-
ences have always succeeded in ac-
complshing their defeat.

A FARMER who called on the Log
Cabin Democrat the other day was
telling us that he had already begun
to select seed for his next years
corn crop. Picking out the best and
most healthy-looking stalks, he has
taken from these the largest, heaviest
and most perfectly formed ears.
These he has laid away carefully in
a place where they will dry out and
not damage. When he goes to plant
next spring, he will shell off and dis
card all inferior grains, keeping on
ly the perfect ones to plant. Such a
procedure as this was unheard of a
few years ago. 1t is sign of the
awakening of the Arkansas farmer.

IT has been suggested that the Log

in regard to the present Democratic
ticket. The ticket speaks for itself.
AS a whole, it is the best the party
has nominated in many years. The

to support it, from governor to road
overseer. The majority will be the
greatest the Democracy of Arkansas
