JAMES l.. SCOTT FOR MAYOR.

In the matter of city politics, MT. James L. Scott, of the general mer- chandise firm of Sellers x Scott, breaks the ice, and is the first to present an announcement for city office. We take pleasure in calling your atten- tion to his announcement, which ap- pears in the regular column of this paper this week.
 James L. Scott was here when the writer came, 26 years ago. He was at that time, we think, located in Franks township, and was engaged in farming. He afterwards embarked in merchandising, and later came to Forrest City, where he has since re- sided, and been identified with it's commercial life and public inst.tu- tiOns. He is democrat of the old school, and has been an active work ing member in the ranks. He is d business man, and if chosen to the highest office in the gift of the city's voters, he proposes to administer it's affairs in business-like and up-to- date manner, and we are confident that he is capable Of doing so. MT. Scott is candidate and asks your support upon his merits as man and citizen. He believes it to be an honor to serve the people of this city as it's Chief Executive, and if chosen will give the business of the office his careful and painstaking attention and promote in every way to the best of his ability the many and varied in terests of the city, inforcing it's laws strictly and impartialiy, and improv- ing conditions wherever and when ever opportunity presents.
 Mir. Scott is well known and needs no introduction from us. He is a hustler, has the courage of his con- Tictions, is a straightforward atfable, progressive citizen, and be lieves in progression. His ambition to fill the office is laudable, and we bespeak for him the kindly eonsi dera- tion of his candidacy and qualitica- tions. If elected he will certainly do the best he can to advance Forrest City's every interest.

He promises if elected to serve the people with the same conscIen- tioas effort that he has displayed in the past, and asks the support of the voters upon his merits.

Ocean-to Ocean Highway association
arrived in Redlands yesterday from
New York City. Mr.. Wilder was met
by members of the executive committee
of the organization, headed by Mont.
p. Chubb of Redlands, the latter the
secretary of the organization. Mr..
Chubb will formally notify the well
known magazine publisher of his ap-
pointment and will escort him to his
home.
A meeting of the executive commit
tee will probably be called for some
time during this week when the work
of the members of the executive com
mittee, at least, will be mapped out
Wilder is one of the best known men
in the southwest and the fact he was
president of the great organization has
aroused several sections to work for
the immediate construction of the
great highway, which will mean the
bringing of thousands of automobilists
into southern California.
John S. Mitchell, former president Of
the oceanic Ocean Highway associa-
ton, and president Of the Ocean-to-
Ocean Highway Association auxiliary,
will make an official call upon Mr.
Wilder the latter part of the week and
it is anticipated that an amalgamation
of the interests of both organizations
will be effected
Secretary Chubb will present his for
NAL report of the Santa Fe convention
at the first meeting of the executive
committee. DIR. II. L. Fulton of Braw-
ley will appear before the committee

LONG BEACH, Nov. 21.-The propri-
etors of Is drug stores in this city
have presented a petition to the city
council asking that the new liquor or
so much recent controversy, be 20
amended that while druggists will be
allowed to sell alcohol for scientific
and mechanical purposes. the clause Of
the ordinance giving them the privil-
ege of selling Intoxicating liquors on
prescription be stricken out.
The surprise of the members of the
council on receiving a request, which
if granted, will debar druggists from
supposed to be a most profitable branch
of their business, was 50 great that
no immediate action was taken in the
matter.
If the amendment suggested is made
and the amended ordinance carries at
the election December 30 it will be-
come a part of the city charter, and
Long Beach will have the unique dis
tinction of being the "dryest" of any
city in the country
The druggists say in defense of their
request that the odium attaching to
the sale of liquor Injuries their busi-
ness.
