 Night.

political get-togetner sentiment las night and held a meeting of 50 mem befs at J. H. Bradfield's, I'll Park avenue. where 2S of them voted fol resolutions endorsing the candidacy Of Hon. Clip Witt for prose uuns at torney of this district, and two oi those present did not vote for others but remained silent in the voting.
 The meeting was one oi the most enthusiastic yet held as the grocers discussed the situation freely, were almost of a unanimous opinion that political peace was necessary 10 busi- ness and commercial success, and they believed. as covered nj iaie fol- lowing resolutions that the removal nom authority of Prosecutor J B Wood was necessary to this end
 The grocers will not only work among their own ranks to the end covered in the resolutions. but will extend their influence to the ranks Of those with whom they are asso- ciated The best evidence Of the suC- cess of this movement is exhibited ta the following resolutions, which were adopted in complete form
 The Resolutions Adopted
 Fully cognizant of the fact that al this time there is almost a universal demand from the people Of Hot Springs for men in public office who will cooperate to the end of political peace, commercial progress and gen erai prosperity in this great national health and pleasure resort, and
 Whereas, other business institu- lions of Hot Springs have shown a disposition to cooperate eam with the other to the end that the strength and power of influence of the men of affairs in business in Hot Springs shall receive fuil recognition from men in official authority, instead oi being ignored and tramped on by men who should be servants Of the people rather than political di1iatoTs and
 Whereas the public service of J. B Wood as prosecuting attorney of this district has served no useful pur. nose te tire people has bettered no condition, but on the other hand has been the cause Of continued strife politically and
 Whereas. the removal Of J B Wood from official authority is in our opin. ion necessary to minimize political strife. and the business and conner cial interests of the city will be en- hanced through the placing in his stead of some man who will use his endeayors with us to aa end of good government, clean, fair and conserya- tive but 3 government that will en- courage our city rather than retard its growth, and
 Whereas, this end can not be reach ed unless the business interests and those whose affairs are virtually i1- terested win forsake their Individual preferences. and unite in the support of one candidate to defeat J B Wood. and
 Whereas, the Hon. Clip Witt Of Montgomery county is one who in for mer tests of public service has an swered every call with willing man. ner and is capable, efficient honest and competent in every way to fmtu ihe duties of the office, and is not an extremist bat rather on the other hand believes the people Of -44el Springs are sufficiently trustworthy to manage their own affairs through their municipal administration. and
 Whereas. the Hon Clip Witt stands alone as the candidate Of his home people in Montgomery county, while there are four candidates from Gar land county, and therefore he is the strongest man in the race politically because of the physical conditions that surround the situation, and
 Whereas. the grocera ~ the city oi Hot Springs are willing to cooper ate to any fair and honorable end that win promote their own interests and the interests of those about them therefore be it
 Resolved. Thar the grocers of Hot springs, through this action, pledge themselves to the support of tho Hon Clip Witt for prosecuting attor-
