LITTLE ROCK LETTER.
LITTLE Rock. Noy. Il. 10.

paign comes in the race for United
States Senate, Senator Jeff Davis
challenges his opponent, Hon, 5
Brundidge, to a wordy combat, and
himself names the weapons aud reg
ulations. He considers that four
speeches are enough, two TO be sc,
lected by the Senator, and two by
MIR, Brundidge. The Senator names
as his two places, Becbe, December
2nd, and Morrillton December 18th,
and says that he will meet Mr..
Brundidge at any other points in
the state he may select, This is an
interesting detail, considering that
MIR, Brundidge has from the first in
timated that he would speak at any
point where Senator Davis speaks,
and ask for a division of time,
After we shall have made these
four speeches." says Senator Davis,
IL think it best for the Democratic
party and our friends generally that
there be no further Joint campaign
| know of no special issues that
there are between us, except that
You want the office and so do |, and
it seems that the only question for
the people to determine is the rcla-
tive fitness OF each of us for this high
honor. have determined to have
no more campaigns of the character
that my third race for governor re,
suited in, That was simply a cam-
paign Of personal abuse and per.
sonal issues
/ When a state has so long been ac-
customed to campaigns Of "per-
sonal abuse and personal issues y
the people will find it difficult to as.
simulate readily the mildness Of this
challenge to political combat, So
also with the race for governor,
there continues no prospect Of Joint
campaign, as Gov, Donaghcy APP
pears to prefer playing a lone hand,
and while Norwood and Robinson
are willing, they consider that il
should be a three-honded PROPOSE.
.tion, So each Of the three continues
on his way, meeting on the stump
by coincidence occasionally rather
than by design, AS indicated last
week, the prohibition issue is loom
ing paramount, and has already
cclipscd that Of the revenue bill, 1t
seems to appeal more strongly 20
more people, and there is rapidly
coming about a lineup on this
question,
With Donoghcy standing for sub.
mission, Norwood for statutory
statewide and Robinson for local
option, those who favor any form OF
prohibition will have no difficulty in
deciding upon which course they
consider most effective and most de-
sirable,
No OTHER CANDIDATE PRoDADLE
At this time all prospect of the
entry OF any other candidate Hp.
pears to have been dissipNtcd,
Frank Barrett, head of the Ant.sa-
loon League, which has declared for
submission, will not be n candidate,
The submission question is now be-
ing considered by the various church
conferences and the Arkansas NJ L,
Church South, conference at Boone
vile has already declared for IT, 1t
is expected that Little Rock and
White River will follow In this
connection the action of Hon, John
H. llinemon, who was the prohibi-
ton candidate against DooNghty,
three years ago, in espousing the
cause Of Gen, Norwood, who stands
for prohibition by statute, is one OF
the most interesting developments
of the last few days, He declares
that there is u trick in the subms,

some unpublished history in connec-
tion with the whiskey fight that he
proposes TO make public, 60 the I'm.

Those who have been watching
the trend Of events cannot but he
impressed with the fact that there
is u growing discount Of the per-
sonal in our political campaigns,
Of which the disclaimer of Senator
Davis is one Of the most significant
indications, There Is still consider

principally in the questioning OF
the sincerity of opponents with ref
erenee to public issues, Gov Dona-
