INDICTMENT MADE PUBLIC.
True Bill Returned Three Years
AGO just Comes to Light.

Fort Smith, July 3.-With the re-
turn today of Calude w. Thompson,
chief deputy of the sheriff's office,
a sensational fight for d child came
TO light. Three years ago j. M
Stanley of Paul's Valley, Ok, coun-
ty prosecutor Of Garyin county, was
indicted by a grand jury here on a
charge of Kidnapping, but this fact
remained secret until Deputy
Thompson's return today. Because
of Governor Haskell's refusal TO
honor a requisition paper from the
governor of Arkansas, no effort was
made to modest Stanley, but last
Friday Deputy Thompson went TO
Oklahoma City armed with a requI-
sition paper for Stanley's return
here for trial.
Governor Cruce honored the re-
ouisition papers and upon request
of the secretary of state OF Okla
homa. the sheriff of Garvin county
arrested Stanley and lodged him IN
Jail.

DAVIS ANNOUNCES
FOR REELECTION
Before Crowd OF 5000 People
From All Parts of the County
United States Senator An
nounces He Will Run Again.

Greenwood, July 4.-United
States Senator JEFF Davis opened
his campaign for reelection to the
Senate in a speech to 5000 people
who had gathered here from all
parts of Sebastian county. 1t was
the first formal announcement
made by Senator Davis that he
would be candidate for re-elec-
ton to the office. Prosecuting At
torney Paul Little was master Of
ceremonies and introduced the
speakers. He also made the OPEN
ing address.
In opening his speech Mr.. Davis
announced at the outset that he was
candidate for reelection, but did
not mention the name of any other
probable candidate. Mr.. DAVIS read
letter from former State Treas
urer Yates, in which Mr.. Yates
stated that there was $i82,2i9 to
the credit of the general revenue
fund on January iS, 1907. This was
the year that Mr.. Davis retired as
governor of the safe. He argued
that when he retired as the chief
executive of the state the state
debt was paid and that taxation had
been reduced.
Senator Davis discussed at length
the high cost of living and the rea-
sons for it. He also outlined the
remedy and spoke of the trusts as
the principal cause of the high cost
of living. He mentioned the anti
trust laws that he had been instru-
mental in having passed to suppress
gambling in cotton.
Next Senator Davis took up the
question of the election of United
States senator's by direct vote of
the people, contending that they
should be so elected in order that
| the people they are supposed TO
represent shall get the best results
from their services.
Senator Davis was preceded by
Robert A. Rowe of Greenwood and
Judge M. M. Stuckey of Newport,
both of whom made addresses. Sem
ator Davis was given close atten-
ton throughout his speech, and at
times he was cheered and applaud
ed as he made some telling remark.
His speech was well received and
seemed to make a deep impression.

ROBINSON MAKES
OPENING SPEECH
Congressman Delivers Address
Announcing His Candidacy for
Governor, Giving Outlins of
His Platform.

Osceola, July i.-Three thousand
and five hundred people of Miss
lsslppi county listened to Congress-
man Joseph I. Robinson on Sow
eminent in the Interest OF the peo-
pie" today, in which he announced
himself as candidate for COVER
nor.
Notwithstanding the fact that
there were three other splendid adj
dresses, the interest of the large
crowd centered in the speech of
Joe T. Robinson. He declared that
the keynote of his campaign is gov
eminent in the interest of the pub
lie and free from the domination of
special and corrupt influences. He
advocated the passage of strong
corrupt practices act, designed to
free the legislature from the inter-
ference of lobbyists and to prevent
the use Of money in elections.
Mr.. Robinson suggested that a
law limiting to a reasonable amout
the money which may be expended
by any candidate or by his cam
paign manager, and forbidding any
other person than the candidate or
his manager from expanding money
to influence an election without the
written consent of some candidate
or his manager would be enforce
able and free elections in the state
of Arkansas from the shame of cor
ruption which it is charged has pre-
vailed in recent years.
The speaker criticised the pres
ent system of penitentiary manage
ment and advocated entrusting the
control of its affairs to commits
sion.
Criticised Convict Lease.
He criticised the system of leas-
ing convicts as inhuman to the
convicts and improvident for the
state. He announced allegiance to
the principle of popular govern
ment in the public interest and
asserted that the necessity for re-
serving to the voters the power to
enact direct legislation to defeat
obnoxious measures passed by the
legislature and to recall officers
arises from the failure of legisla-
lures to respond to the demand for
progressive legislation and their
subservience to interests averse to
the general welfare.
