CAMPBELL A WINNER
Self rIade Man of Practical Ideas and is Making Friends in
 Congressional Race

It gives us pleasure to present the name of such man as Tom Campbell to our readers as a candi- date for the important position of congressman.
 He was born on a farm in Ran- dolph County and lived as farmer boy during the early years of his life. By his own efforts he secured a good education, and at the ageof 21, served as County Examiner of his native county. The number of warm friends of MT. Campbell in this part of the State, who are for mer pupils of his, testify as to his worth and success while he follow ed the profession of teaching.
 MT. Campbell early took an active part in politics, and it is justly a matter of pride to himself and his friends that in this field he has been uniformly successful. In lining up with him in this cam paign, his friends claim that his record as a winner will not be broken.
 Mir. Campbell has served the peo- pie of Randolph County two terms in the legislature, and during his last term was Speaker of the House. He was Secretary of the last Demo- cratic state Convention, which fact shows the esteem in which he IS held by the Democracy of the State.
 In aspiring to the position of member of Congress from this dis trict, Tom Campbell bases his hopes for victory on a platform of practical ideas arising from his conception of what are the real needs of the people of this district. He IS anxious that every voter in the district know his position on the issues of the campaign and his ideas are such as deserve the careful consideration of thinking men.
 If the people of the second Con- gressional district see fit to elect Mir. Campbell as their next Repre- sentative in Congress, they will have chosen a man of character and man of brains; one who has the courage of his convictions and the ability to do effective service for his constituents.-Williford News.

II MAKES 4 DIFFERENCE .
Get in Jail, County Pays 75c Day to Feed You; Become Helpless
 You Get Two-bits

To the Honorable Candidates for the Legislature;
 Gentlemen:-I desire to call your attention to matter which 1 consider is of importance to our county. The legislature of 1907 passed an act requiring all coun- ties to pay their jailors 75 cents per day for feeding prisoners; in addition to this, the county is re- quired to furnish clothing, medi- cine, fuel, water, lights, etc, in fact, everything but feeding them. And, in addition to this, our county furnishes the jailor with a good residence adjacent to the prison, thus saving him rents and kindred expenses; this 1 am told, IS an exception to the rule.
 Formerly the counties paid from 40 to 60 cents per head; in this county we paid 50 cents, which l think is quite reasonable. Con- sidering the expenses in addition to the 75 cents per day, our county is paying more than $100 per head, per day, for the feeding of its criminals, while 1t pays less than 25 cents per day for it's help- less and indigents the county paupers and the keeper furnish es clothing, medicine, doctor, fuel etc. The Sheriff is the best paid officer in the county, over and above the jail, and is not lim- ited by the salary system; there fore, with the jail he is making more money than any other two officers in the county. l am of opinion that the amount should be reduced from 75 to 50 cents per day for feeding the prisoners; 1 do not think 1t should be changed to take effect during the middle of a term of office but should take ef- feet at the beginning of the next term. No one could feel mistreat- ed by such change.
 Now, 1t seems to me that the price paid for feeding our crimi- nals could be reduced to fifty cents a day, if our helpless and in- digent can be properly cared for for 25 cents a day, and no one suf- fer from the reduction. Here is an excellent opportunity for some patriotic law-maker to save our county $400 or $500 a year, and not hurt anyone. In ten or twenty years the saving would amount to enough to build the county a new jail, which will soon have to be done, or it would build some pretty good steel bridges, which are a permanent asset to the county.
 Let us hear from some of the taxpayers and the legislative can didates upon this subject.

NORWOOD QUITS RAGE
Governors Race Narrows Down to Two Candidates With Pro-
 hibition Chief Issue

The withdrawal of Gen. Nor wood leaves the gubernatorial race to Governor Donaghey and Congressman Robinson, and a contest that had become strenuous may now be expected to increase in warmth. Whether the with drawal of Norwood will aid Don- aghey or Robinson depends en- tirely upon the point of view Donaghey's friends see in it a benefit to him, while Robinson and his friends consider that the Don- aghey opposition will now be con- centrated to the advantage of the Lonoke statesman. It will mean much greater activity on the part of both, and from now on until the last of March 1t may be expected, metaphorically speaking, that "the woods will be burned up with eloquence, and the hills and val leys, city and countryside deluged with Donaghey's pamphlet on "The Red Hand of the Whiskey Ring" and Robinson's Congress sional speeches on the iniquities of all things opposed to good govern ment. It is not expected that there will be any joint campaign ing, but that each will continue on his way looking after his own in- erests.
 The issues are clearly drawn be- tween the two candidates-Don- aghey has announced that he will stand or fall by the Turner-Jacob- son bill, while Robinson opposes it as "the most vicious measure ever penned by man." Donaghey stands for the submission of the prohibition question to the people under the initiative as planned un- der the present campaign of the Anti-Saloon League, while Robin son stands for a continuation of existing laws of local option. The sixty-day legislative session, which Gen. Norwood has been initiating, is approved by Gov. Donaghey, but MT. Robinson has not express ed himself on the subject.
 Gov. Donaghey openly declares that the withdrawal of Gen. Nor wood is due to the interference of "the gang" and insists that from their viewpoint, they made mis- take, as he considers Gen. Nor wood a stronger man than MT. Robinson.

THE EARLIER BALLOTS.

There were no surprises In the ulsO
ballot taken nj Baltimore yesterday
morning The relative strength of the
two leading candidates for the Presl-
DENTAL nomination had been accurately
forecast in The Tribune's weekly taOle
showing the preferences of delegates
elect On June %, two days before the
convention met, The Tribune's taDle
gave Clark a lead Of 1872 votes over WI
son ON the first rollcall the Clark iead
was 11615-a difference Of only 1912
votes Had Governor Burke of North
Dakota not withdrawn his candidacy
and thrown the ten votes instructed TOT
him 70 Wilson the Clark lead woulu
have been 12619-a discrepancy or only
XII votes When il is considered that
021 delegates were uninstructed and I'M
committed and that their action was
bound to have disturbing erect on
even the most careful calculations, me
closeness Of the vote to The Trlounes
figures becomes all the more noteworthy.
OF the uncommitted delegates clark
through Burke's withdrawal Ihese
votes thus made practically no change
in the relative standing Of the two lead
ing contestants. Yet only recently many
newspapers were publishing tabulanons
proving that Wilson's strength would be
equal 10 or greater than ClarR's. one OF
our neighbors even credited Wilson with
clear lead Of 10, instead Of shortage
Of 1867.
The casting Of New York's 90 votes
for Harmon was a foregone conclusion
He was the lowest man among the
avoWed aspirants whose claims have
been taken seriously. and he was also
bv associations and temperament the
most acceptable Of all Of the candidates
70 the powers who pull the strings TO
which the New York delegation dances
Voting for Harmon was safe play at
the outset and q sure means Of keeping
the delegations influence still in the
market. Therefore New York's support
was delivered 10 Harmon on all Of the
earlier ballots.
The most consistent gain on those d.
visions was that made by Governor VIII
son, whose total rose from 324 to 35212
Clark gained 1112 and Underwood s.
while Harmon lost q up to the end Of
the ninth ballot New York's break TO
Clark on the tenth ballot did not result
