THE SUBMISSION OF THE TUR-
NER-JACOBSON LAW.
DOMlCHEY IS SILENT
Will Not Talk Politics NOW-ElkS to

tie Rock.

Little Rock, Ark, Aug. 14.-It be-
many names are required to submit
the Turner-Jacobson revenue bill to
the people, the active workers for
submission will accomplish their pur-
pose land the voters of Arkansas will
have y. chance to drop in ballot one
way or the other on it next general
election Reports from all over the
state show scattering signatures, but
as no great number is required, they
will probably be secured. The pecul-
lar feature about the reference is the
newspapers of the state having moth
ing, or practically nothing, to say
about the measure. Four newspaper
men in Little Rock during the past
week, stated the bill looked good to
them, and they were not opposing its
becoming a law without submission to
the people, though submission would
mean 1000 each to them, or some
other editor of the county, claiming it
would be that much in the pocket Of
the editor who was successful in get
ting the act for publication.
Donaghey Still Silent.
Gov G. w. Donaghey states posi-
lively he will have nothing of a poll
teal nature to give out this week, so
it means another dull season for the
politicians who can do no real work
until they know where to place him.
With the announcement Of col. S. M.
TAYLOR of Pine Bluff for ngressman
in the Sixth District, the list there
grows longer, and l.. E. Sawyer of
Hot Springs is now counted upon as
the next probable candidate in that
district. Politicians here do not look
at it in that way. for they believe the
entrance Of Col. Taylor into the race,
means the elimination of all except
two or three of those now running.
Several new candidates are expected
week for it begins to appear as though
SO many good men are being urged to
announce that an effort was to be
made to split the conservative vote
and put one over on the voters. j.
Sam Rowland of Harrison, the former
state senator, and present member OF
the State Board of Charities. has an
nounced as candidate for railroad
commissioner in the North west Ark
ansas district, and with the ice brok-
Ell In the race for railroad commits

be candidate or not. w. X. Sur
ridge, defeated by George W. Bellamy

coming primaries, and Commissioner
Mcknight will have opposition to his
reelection in the Southwestern dis
trict, as several have signified theil
intention of opposing him for seconG
term.
