4 MESSAGE FROM LONOKE

To the Democrat Voters of Monroe County:
 I am a candidate for Railroad Commissioner of the Northeast ern District of Arkansas, and am writing you this letter to give you my policies and platform as we'll as my competency for the office.
 I have had thirty years of ac- tual service with the railroads and have also been engaged in farm ing; this has given me an oppor tunity to know the people and to know the railroads, and how bad ly the people need an experienced man on the Railroad Confusion.
 know how to handle any kind of tariff and know how figure freight rates either on the ton or revenue basis; this is not true of a single member of the Railroad Commission today.
 have three opponents and all of them good men, but who have never had one days experience in all railroading; the day has come when only competent men to fill the office should be elected by the people.
 am engaged in active farming and know the freight condition in Arkansas. I also know that the people should be represented on the Railroad Commission of this state by men who understand what the office is for and how to fill 1t.
 If you elect me, l shall give my full time to the office and shall vote at all times for a pro- poer adjustment of the rates, while fair to the railroads, yet at the same time, look after the in terest of the consumers of the state.
 refer you to any reputable citizen of either Lonoke or White county, as to oability and standing as I have lived most all my life in one or the other of these coun- ties.
 Trusting that you willsee your way clear to give me your sup port in the coming primary elect ion. and at the same time talk with your neighbor about my can didacy as the district is so large that I may not be able to see you and talk with you personally.
 Yours Truly.

there is some difference in the makeup

years. during which time he did no
active work. Students of athletics who
have spent a life time training and
conditioning men for athletic events,
declare that Jeffries will find his arms
pretty heavy when he has them in the
air for ten three-minute rounds. His
legs. too. they say. will be weary, and
he will find it difficult to do the hop

from Johnson's leads. Another point i'm

And how about Johnson? Most of
those who pick the black to win don't
put any argument in his behalf. They
pick flaws with Jeffrios and let it go
at that. They agree that johnson
has done nothing wonderful in the ring
and don't give him much credit for
whipping Tommy Burns or Ed Martin
or Stanley Ketchel. But in the same
breath they say he Is clever. has a.
hard wallop. and can stand much pun
ishment. Billy Madden says Johnson
is the eleverest heavyweight he has
ever seen and that counts for some
thing as Madden nursed Sullivan to the
championship. and saw the worlds
greatest heavyweight in action.
There is one point upon which not a
great deal has been said of Johnson.
Is he game? That is an important
topic in connection with pugilists.
There is some doubt as to Johnson's
gameness. Experts hold that if he does
not show any yellow he will go through
as n winner. On the other hand it's
said that if Johnson should be hurt he
will be ready to quit. But how about
the knock down that he received
from ketchei not long ago. Jack was
put down and looked like gone
goose. When he got to his feet. in,
stead of quitting. he walloped with
right and left and won his fight when
and there.
That Jeffries is a hard hitter is not
denied. Ask Sharkey or Fitzsimmons
or Rhulin or Corbett. But can he
hit as hard today as he did when in
his primer Hardly.
After Jeffries and Johnson have been
in active training for a month. and
after they have fieeced the public by
their acts behind the footlights it may
be easier to get some dope" in the

OF course Madden is not alone in the
belief that the colored man will win.
There are thousands of others who also
believe that Jeffries will be defeated.
On the other hand Jeffries, too, has
his admirers who do not believe john
son can whip the big boilermaker. Jim
Corbett is one of them. That brings
to mind that the former champion
heavyweight who lost the title to Bob
Fitzsimmons has seldom picked the
winner in a big contest. 1t appears
that pugilists. as a rule. can't pick the

When man has been i'm the boxing
