To the Democratic Voters of Pine
 Bluff:
 In the closing days of my campaign for mayor wish to say to our pec- pie that it is being stated in con- uection with my candidacy that I will not be able to fully fill the office of mayor because of my professional en- agreements. To this charge I say ill reply that l give my word of honor thar in case the people see fit to con- fer upon me the honorable and re- syonEiLle office Of mayor of our city, that no one shall ever truthfully say that have neglected even the sm4i- es, duty pertaining to that office.
 also heard that there is complaint that have not personally called upon all the voters. This may be true. but In reply say, that I have done my best to see all of them. The cam pafgn has been short, and for that reason have been unable to reach all the voters. but trust that no one will cast his vote against me because I could not personally meet him and ask his support.
 intend, if elected, to make for Pine Bluff a faithful, active and att tentive business mayor. have had an experience of eight years as mem- Der of our city council, and feel that am perfectly familiar with all of the business affairs and the needs of our city and people. do not suppose that there is person in Pine Bluff more familtar with conditions as to our streets and alleys than myself, be- cause every day in the year I am travelling upon them more or less in some portion of the city, and neces- earily know what is needed to keep them in proper condition. I am believer i'm giving to the people some- thing substantial in return for the money they annually pay out as taxes, and to see to it as we'll that their money is not wasted.
 In my campaign card, among other things said:
 Equal rights to all and special privileges to none.
 An equitable and economical ex- penditure of public money.
 To conserve the public health, upon which depends the happiness and prosperity of our people.
 The beautifying of our city in ev- cry way possible.
 The wise expenditure of the city's funds in permanent public improve ments. The jealous guarding at all times the finances os the city, so that it's credit may not be impaired The holding to Il strtct account all ofsi- cials of the various departments of the city goverrcnent in the discharge 0f their respective du.,es.
 The elimination of politics as far ae possible from the several departments of the city government.
 No officer selected to fulfill an an- te-election pledge.
 A public office is a public trust" and Is no place for the grafter.
 The adoption of the commission. form of munic pal government as soon as the majority of the people de,rand N.
 To this end am for Fine Bluff first, last and all the time
 In addition to the statements above made l wish to place special emphasis upon my desire to improve the sanH- tary condition of the city. I think it will be conceded that l am qualified to know how to improve this condi- ton and pledge my best efforts shall be put forth in this direction. EveGy citizen knows how important It Is that the health of the city shall be conserved, and how necesseary is cleanliness of this condition
 have now about completed my campaign, and say to my friends that If the voters will go to their respec- tive voting places on Monday, Deeem- Der 18th, 1910. that will be the next mayor Of Pine Bluff
