JEFFRlES KEEPS CITY
OWNERSHIP TO FRONT
Bigger Issue Than Aldermanic
Grating, Declares Mayoral
Candidate

Municipal ownership OF the street
railways as the great issue in city
affairs was again emphasized by Po-
lice Justice Edward j. Jeffries, candi-
date for the Democratic nomination
for mayor, Tuesday night, in two
large gatherings OF voters. One was
meeting OF seamen in their hall at
Woodbridge and First-st., and the
other was a meeting OF structural iron
workers In their hall on Gratiot-ave.
Judge Jeffries showed how Roose-
welt In Chicago and Bryan in Balti-
more had revealed the dominating in
iuenve that the special interests
have had In both the Republican and
Democratic parties, and urged the
voters TO cast their ballots this fall
In such a way that men whom the
people can trust will be given an op-
portunity to bring about better condi-
tions.
While we will have 10 clean house
In Detroit" said Judge Jeffries, the
graft scandal L. not the principal H.
sae. Do not permit yourself to be
led away from the old struggle by
cries OF new battles. The d. u. r. and
its attempts TO obtain something for
nothing In the way OF franchises and
public grants Is just as big a question
today as II ever was.
My platform is municipal owner
ship OF public utilities, not only street
railways but lighting and communica-
tion as well. But the street railway
question the biggest OF these, and
We will not sacrifice II for the sake
OF those who wish to see 1t buried

HANDICAPPED
This is the Case With Many Pine

Too many Psne Bluff citizens a'e handicapped with bad backs. The un- ceasing pain causes constant misery. making work burden and stoppins or lifting an impossibility. The back aches at night. preventing refreshing rest and in the morning is stiff and anne. Plasters and imminent may give relief but cannot reach the cause if the kidneys arc weak. To eliminate the pains and aches of kidney back ache you must cure the kidneys.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak kidneys-thousands testify to their inert. Can you doubt Pine Bluff evi- dence?
 c. M .Shephard. 901 E. Second Ave, Pine Bluff, Ark. says: '.The public statement l gave in June 1908 in which l recommended Doan's Kid aey Pills was correct in every par ticular and l am pleased to confirm it at this time. My kidneys did not do their work as they should and Vas bothered by lame and aching Jack. The kidney secret'ons also passed irregularly and caused me no 4nd of annoyance. Doan's Kidney Pills relieved me of these annoyances md helped me in every way. My ad. vice to other kidney sufferers is to .Ty this remedy"

FERD HAyIS BOLTS TAFT CROWD

Ferd Havis, the negro Republican from this District, who with c. M. Wade, of Hot Springs, another negro delegate from the Sixth District, was sent to the National Republican gathering at Chicago uninstructed. q ssinguished himself by voting with the Roosevelt delegates on the chair manship on Tuesday. Havis voted for Governor McGovern in opposition to Elihu Root and was the only Arkan- Sas delegate voting that way, the seventeen others voting to seat Root as temporary chairman.
 Havis made the statement before his departure for Chicago that he wa: for Roosevelt in preference to Taf;, but that he did not feel enth\siastio over either of the pres dential pos sibilities. He made the statement that if he was to be sent to Chicago ins ructed he would decline the dele gateship ard he and Wade were sent there uninstructed.
 A Chicago dispatch says that Dr. R. C. Thompson was unable to keep sHavis in the traces. Evidently Ha- wis was not "city broke" for he got over tue traces on the first ballot ing. The dispatch reads:
 There was only enc break in the Arkansas Taft line when the test voc cane oday upon the e'ectio;: ol the temporary chairman, Ferd Hayis of Pine Bluff one of the two negro delegates from the Sixth district de serted the Taft men and cast his vote fer Governor McGovern of Wiscon- sin.

BE KIND TO THE DOG

The brutal manner in which some If the police officers are Killing dogs ,hat are not muzzled as required by the city ordinance is causing con- siderable comment among local citi- .ens and the city officials are being severely censured for their action. A few days ago local policeman saw a salIDle dog on Main street, without ] muzzle. He called the deg up to him and believing that he was friendly the dog, wagging its tail, trotted up to him. As soon as the animal got close enough the police man struck it terrific blow on the lead with his club, felling it.. He then delivered two or three more blows on the animals head and lei 1t to die cn the walk Persons who witnessed the brutal act were ndig- aant and denounced the officer in no light terms.
 Such brutal tactics on the part If pol1ee Otflcers or others should not De tolerated. If the dogs are found without Gluzzles the proper thing fer the offers to do is to capture them and place them in the city pound for three days. Then if the owners of the dogs do not appear they should be killed. If they are claimed the owners should be lined for not com plying with the "muzz.e ordinance" Many of the dogs. a;who. have 9been puzzied: are x slsppipg xthem aid If they are caught 9withoutSth their muzzles they are promptly killed.

DEMOCRATS HAVE
 FEW CONTESTS
Discuss the Proposition To Have Candidate Getting Second High. est Vote Accept Vice Pres.
 idency.

Baltimore, June 19-Prelminary to the meeting tomorrow of the arrange ments committee to select temporary officers of the Democratic national convention, there was further discds- sion today of the proposition to have the presidential candidate who re- reved the second highest number of votes on the final ballot accept tn : nomination of vice president. Ma tioral Committeeman Daniels of North Carolina is strongly urging g this proposition to his fellow con- mitteemen.
 "Of course, all the presidential candidates say they would not accept | second place on the ticket, but what else could they say at this time 9" \ said Committeeman Daniels, who add ed that the make-up of the ticket from the geographical standpoint would be satisfactorily brought about Dy the adoption of the propo- sition.
 The headquarters of the variolfs presidential candidates were in full swing today and rival camps issued hourly clains of vicso:y.
 Secretary Woodaon said that all of the contests received so far were quite minor in character.
 "All in all, don't believe there will be more than forty seats contested" said Secretary Woodson, "and these represent perhaps half a dozen del.- gations. No one of them is serious"
 Lieutenant Governor J. Taylor Eli son of Virginia, the national commi:- teeman from that state, says that the several candidates in the field will receive part of the vote cast.
 Virginia will De satisfied with any good candidate" said Mir. Ellison. "The state has no candidate of it's own."
