CAMPAIGN OF 1912
 SUBJECT OF TALK

Little Rock, April 14.-Though a
 primary election is so recent that the defeated ones have not yet ceased to feel the sting, plans are being formu- lated right now for the primaries two years hence and the indications are that it will be the warmest campaign of modern times. At that time most counties will be ready to elect a new the present officials have already serv- ed the one term.
 There will be a number of state of ficers to- elect but the climax, will come in the gubernatorial and sena- torial races. Two candidates for gov ernor are most spoken of, Attorney General Hal L. Norwood and Con- gressman Joe P. Robinson. It is con ceded that both of these will make the race, and when the Democratic state convention is held in June, other candidates are expected to announce their intention.
 Senator Davis is to have opposition, and strong opposition at that, is the undisputed claim of prom inent political pronosticators. If Gov ernor Donaghey declines to make the race, and powerful politicians of the state claim he cannot afford to turn back now, the opposition may turn to Joe Robinson and take him out of the gubernatorial race to run for the United States senate.
 Though Governor Donaghey refus- es to make any statement on the sen- atorial question, there is no doubt here but that he will finally yield to the pressure being brought to bear on him and make the race for the sen ate with R. F. Milwee again handling his campaign. The power of both men as campaigners is well known, and for that reason the prognostica- tors prophecy the hardest fought cam paign two years hence in the history of the state.

TEXARkANA DRY
 FOR FIRST TIME

Texarkana, April l4.-For the first time in 15 years TeXarkana awoke this morning to find herself saloon less. The town went dry at l2 o'clock last night, and now the thirsty will have to use root beer or soda water. The closing of the saloons is the re suit of a local option election held on February ,, by which Bowie county, Texas, in which part of TeXarkana is located, was voted dry. The Ar kansas side of TeXarkana has been without saloons for number of months, the saloons having been done away with through the success of "three-mile petition legislation, which, after being carried to the sui preme court, succeeded in putting all the saloons out of business within a radius of three miles of the Miller county high school. Since then the thirsty Arkansawyers have been journeying to Texas to quench their thirst. The local option election, as the result of which Texarkana goes dry today, was a memorable struggle, but the prohibitionists won by ma jority of 460.

Asserting that he was a spy for the
japanese government and that he had
information that would cause a sensa-

Reed, a local boy, was arrested last
night by the police. He caused great
excitement around the First street. sta
ton by his statements until the captain
ordered him brought into his office.
After half an hours conversation the
door swung open and the captain
yelled, Send the emergency surgeon in
here!"
The surgeon was sent for and the
captain told him to make an eXamlna-
ton of the youth. After short con-
versation. the doctor turned to the cap
tain with a surprised look and said
"Why, this boy has been drinking"
Upon investigation of the boys char
acter the captain found that he had
become addicted to the liquor habit and
frequently, when drunk, told stories
that deceived many people. The boy
was sent to the Gatlin Institute on
Grand avenue, where he will take the
three-d day treatment for alcoholism
The police say it is useless to put him
on probation, but that in all probability
after three days spent at the Gatlin
ne will be a good boy. ~"
