DENIES AUTHORITY
OF as. LEAGUE
WELLS Is A FREE LANCE
ASHLEY COUNTY MAN WORKS
FOR WIDE IN SIN
GLE HARNESS.

| Little ROCK, FEB. 2Z.-Ihere are
two separate and distinct interests at
work on the initiation of the Elopos I'd
statewide prohibition law for Arkan-
sas, to be voted upon by the people
next September. One is the Anti-Sa-
loon League, which has number OF
workers in the field, raising funds
and organizing the counties. The
other is Capt. Frank M. Wells of
Hamburg and Little Rock, who is act
ing independently. In fact, there is
friction between them, and each dis
claims utilization with the other, al
though both are working toward the
same end.
Capt Wells this week filed with
Secretary of State Hodges a petition
containing 1910 signatures obtained
by him in two weeks in the rounties
of Ashley, Bradley, Desha and Drew.
He says that it did not cost more than
500 to secure them, and he proposes
to continue the work as actively as
heretofore.
The secretary of state says that all
thees prohibition petitions, filed with
him under the law, and identical in
terms and language, will be certified
out in the aggregate, it matters not
by whom they are obtained.
Capt. Wells, native of Ashley
county, has been Baptist preacher
for 20 years, and has lectured and
preached in AS towns of the state
and has been a prohibitionist all this
time. After filling up a number of
the blanks, securing about 1000 sig
natures, he wrote to Rev. Frank Bar
rett for more blanks, and was mott
fed that it would be necessary for
him to come to the statewide head
quarters, and make arrangements to
cooperate with them on the plan of
the Anti-Saloon League, which in
wolves not only the securing of sign
ers to the petition, but the solicitation
of funds toward the $4,000, being
raised for the purpose. Otherwise
confusion in the plans might result
rs it fact that temperance work
cannot be done except by the authori-
ty of this Lacquer" asked Capt
Wells, in discussing the situation
"Who is this Anti-Saloon League?
| find that Barrett and Mckinney are
the active force of the whole thing
one of them being superintendent and
the other one treasurer They pro-
pose to raise $4,000 for the purpose
of initiating the bill They them
selves make no effort to get signers
to the petition; they are short in work
but long on collections. Why give
them all this money, when it will be
needed to pay workers in each and
every county? In Ashley, Drew
Bradley, Dallas and Ouachta coun-
ties where | secured 1910 signers, the
F., people want to know why so much
money is needed for this purpose. We
need signers, not so much money
The plans these two men are working
are running the cause of prohibition
in Arkansas. This is the opinion of
many men with whom l have spoken
| make this statement to save the
cause, and to protect the good people
of my native state"
Capt. Wells estimates that $500
would be enough to canvass all the
state and pay all expenses, including
notary fees.
The Anti-Saloon League explains
that every dollar collected is account
ed for, and that the campaign expen-
ses after the bill has been initiated
must be provided for.
