We honor ourselves by hon bring our flag, our state. our ship The la4est enthusiasm and patriotism of every one in Pine Bluff should De aroused to help the patriotic work for who among us can ttuthfully say that we have no civic pride. no state loy- alty and no patriotism
 'Is there a man with soul so dead who neyer t0 himself has said This is my own, my native land.
 The tidal wave of patriotism. is spreading everywhere. It is now for the living to advance the work to manifest increased devotion to that cause and to that flag for which our f3refathers so nobly fought, and un- der whose folds they found rest, they pledged their lives, their hearts and other sacred honor to love and protect the flag. our country, and Ehe liberty of the American people for ever.
 Tn times of peace we must remember war-not the Carnage. but the princi- ples for which war is fought. The spirit of '76 keeps marching on, gen erated by patriotic men and women.
 Tie nest egg for the flag fund was donated by two members of the Pine Bluff Chapter, D. A. R, in February 1912, this later being augmented by generaous donation from the Cham Der of Commerce.

 IN ILLINOIS Missourian Runs Fast and Former President Romps
 on Taft.
CULLUM IS DEFEATED
For United States SenatOr-Deneen Ren0minated By Republicans
 AlschuIer Victorious.

Chicago, H., Ap.il 9-Champ Clark has swept the Presidential primar els of Illinois.
 The Missouri candidate for the Democratic nom nation for. President will carry Cook by apparently S3,ooo majority.
 Early returns indicate that he will gzt nearly as large a plurality down state. He will have the eight dele gates at large t. the Democratic rational convention, forty of the fty delegates at least.
 Theodore Roosevelt has swept the Republican primaries most decisive ". His probable majority in Ccok county will be 25,300 for the die gates at large. Also the ind cati are that he will get the district egates for zeyereal of the ten Chieai disricts, with a chance to get then from nine CT ten districts.
 Down state he has run even strong CT than in Chicago. Reports from scattering counties show that he beating Taft from two to cne to five .e9 one aHd taa+ he may also carry the fifteen districts.
 Senator Shelby NJ. Cullum has besn beaten for the Republican endorse men for United States Senator. All ter mere than half century of pub Lie serv ce, at the age of S2 years, ice seems to have lost a political con- test, the firzt he has ever lost. Lawrence Y Sherman is the victor.
 Governor Charles s. Deneen seems to have scored an easy victory fon the third nomination as the RepuD- lican candidate for governor. estimated majority in Cook county is from thirty to forty thousand, and his total vote is almoGt at great as that of Lem Small and John B. w. Wayma1 combined.
 Samuel A. Elshulsr and Edward F. Dunn in the Democratic fight for Governor are having close hard fight. Dunn will probably carry Cook county by thirty thousand Alshuler seems to have the lead down the state that will cut down Dunn's Cook county advantage.

And above all, the flag will announce the aspirat ons and ambitions of the newer and great CT Pine Bluff to do something that shall call forth the approval and re- spect of the entire country.
