appointments have not yet come to the front, but will not long remain in the background.
 The Democratic victory, taken in connection with the comparative strength developed by the Progress sives, further means the end of the Clayton Remmel-Bratton dynasty in Arkansas. It is predicted that the Progressives will have assumed the ascendency in Democratic opposition before the expiration of the ensuing four years, and that they and not the Republicans will be the force with which the Democrats will be expected to reckon.

IS PLEASED WITH DECISION OF HULK GOVERNOR GIVES VIEWS SAYS CALDWELL X DRAKE OWE STATE INSTEAD OF THE
 REVERSE.

Little Rock, Nov. 5.-When asked for a statement regarding the capitol commission suit in which Judge Guy Fulk of Pulaski circuit court yester- day sustained the demurrer ipterpos- ed by the commissioners, Governor G.. W. Donaghey, H. L. Remmel, Chas. l.. Thompson, R F. Foster and John II. Moore, Governor Donaghey said:
 'I cannot conceive why they ever brought the suit against the commits sion individually, when, as matter of fact, the whole transaction grew out of the states business and the commission was only acting for the state. If a state officer could be held liable for his acts when complying with the statutes in the conduct of the states business, 1 imagine it would be a very long time before they could get any one to- act, for no one would be willing to act if he were lia
 ble for damages for complying with Iiic SldIe laws anu III lHt pei ilol Hl- ance of his sworn duties and obliga- tions. 1 am utterly unable to see wherein a lawyer who is conversant with the constitution and laws of the state could expect to secure a judg- ment by bringing such a suit The capitol commission only did it's duty in taking possession of the state cap- itol and grounds, and carrying out their instructions given by the legis- lature by completing the building.
 "The state of Arkansas does not owe Caldwell & Drake one cent, but on the contrary, Caldwell & Drake are justly indebted to the state. When the legislature assembled in 1909, my understanding was that they claimed only about $75,000, and that was merely a claim.
 "I have been informed that there is a disposition to make an investigation of the construction of the building under the present commission. l well come any fair investigation, as chair man of the commission, not an inves- tigation by men seeking some political advantage, but an investigation by fair-minded men who will develop and disclose the actual facts as they are. y

w. F. INCOMES OF ARKANSAS MAY BE APPOINTED BY
 WILSON.

Little Rock, Roy. 7.-The sweeping victory of Woodrow Wilson will mean much to the Democrats of Arkansas.
 In the first place, it probably means that Arkansas will, for the second time, furnish an attorney general to the cabinet of Democratic president. The whole country acknowledges the splendid services rendered Governor Wilson by National Chairman w. F. McCombs of Hamburg, Ark, both in securing the nomination and the cleo ton, and it is believed here that he can have the place in the cabinet once held by Governor A H Garland, if he wants it.
 x The change from the Republican to the Democratic administration will mean a complete change in the matter of federal patronage. POstofiices above the fourth-class will now go to the Democrats; and there will be six land office positions, two district at torneys, two United States marshals, one internal revenue collector, and va rious other offices at the disposal of the new administration. It will not be long until the aspirants for these positions make themselves known.
 One Little Rock attorney, Hon. J . H. Harrod, the truly original Wood- row Wilson man. organizer of the first Woodrow Wilson club in the state, will come in for something handsome. He has even been men toned for secretary of the interior, but it is generally believed that he would prefer the position of U. s. district attorney, to succeed Col w. G. Whipple Another Wilson boomer who is certain of recognition, is Judge R. F. Milwee, speaker of the last house, who is expected to succeed H. l.. Remmel as U.

From Tuesdays Daily.
 Two thousand loyal and enthusi- astic citizens witnessed and took part in the grand Democratic rally last night. The torchlight procession was a brilliant and lengthy pageant and principal streets of the city they were cheered heartily. When they arrived at the public square an immense crowd had gathered around the huge bonfire, and here a number of speeches were made. s. w. Rogers, president of the Wilson and Marshall occasion with a few well-chosen re- marks. The first speaker on the pro- gram was Governor G. w. Donaghey, who made the principal address of the evening. The governors speech was received with great enthusiasm. He seemed glad to be at home once friends, and the vast audience seemed to vie with each other in according him a welcome. Governor Donaghey congratulated the people upon the great Democratic victory won in the recent election, and referred to the part he took in the celebration in Conway over Cleveland's election, and laughingly remarked that he lost a good $5 hat that night in the high pitch of enthusiasm. He said num- Der of the celebrators- threw their hats into the bonfire. He also thank ed the people of Faulkner county for what they had done for him, and as sured them of his great appreciation. Short and interesting talks were made by Geo. w. Clark, l. M. Camp bell, E. M. Merriman, G. w. Bruce and Mayor w. H. Duncan, all of whom were listened to with attention, and applauded frequently.
 s. w. Rogers referred to Governor Donaghey as tour candidate for the United States senate" when intro ducing him to the audience, and other speakers mentioned this fact also, but the governor did not refer to his candidacy at all, his speech being purely one of congratulations and re- joicing over the big Democratic land slide.

FEDERAL OFFICES TO TO BE
 FILLED BY DEMOCRATS
 FIRST TIME IN 20 YEARS,

Little Rock, Nov. 11.-One of the. greatest and most direct effects of the Democratic landslide, in Arkan- sas, is the transfer of the federal pa tronage from the Republicans to the Democrats. With the exception of the Cleveland interregnums, the Re- publicans have had control of all fed eral offices in the state since the war; and now the Democrats are once. more coming into their own. And there will be no lack of aspirants. They had already begun circulating petitions when the returns from, Acushnet were announced at 1 o'clock the day of the election. And now. they are everywhere getting busy.
 The federal patronage in Arkansas is worth, in round numbers, $240, ,000a year, and there is a lack of sheer ity in the Republican remarks, We don't care, we have the cream of it, anyhow" This patronage is distrib- uted as follows:

MILITIA GROUNDS
 10 BE BOUGHT THIS CITY WELL LOCATED GOVERNMENT SEEKING LOCA- TON FOR TRAINING GROUND
 FOR STATE MILITIA.

Little Rock, Ark, Nov. 6, 1912. Mr. Frank E. Robins, Editor Log
 Cabin Democrat, Conway, Ark:
 Dear Sil-The United States gov ernment is now seeking a location of 200 to 1000 acres of land to be used as a permanent camp and mobiliZa- tion point for the Arkansas militia in case of war. It is quite probable that if a desirable location can be secured somewhere near the center of the state, that rife range would be constructed thereon, permanent quar- ters built, and both regiments would camp thereon each year for week or two It occurs to me that Conway could furnish very desirable loca- tion.
 The site must be located on a rail road or a spur, there must be plenty of good water, good drainage, and must be offered for sale at very reasonable price.
 It occurs to me that a location along the Iron Mountain railroad, with the Cadron ridge as back ground, might be secured.
 Other things being equal, l believe Conway because of it's location, access sibility and ''dry state," could secure this proposition.
 l am sending you this for what it is worth. Use it in any way you see fit. but if Conway wants to be consider ed, they must act at once, as the war department is already inspecting To- cations. Their committee is at Alex ander today. They will be in no hur- ry to decide, however, if other loca- tions are submitted for investigation.
 Very truly yours,
 o. D. LONGSTRETH.
 When the above letter was called to the attention of G. l.. Banner, secretary of the Board of Trade, he promptly said: Conway ought to get it. The natural conditions sur rounding Conway make for desira- ble camping place, for We have three very important conditions, one of which is drainage; another, good water, while the third is freeness from malaria.
 "The fact that Conway is nearer the geographical center of the state than any other town in it, is an ad- vantage not to be overlooked, while We have excellent railroad facilities, it is only short distance to the Ar kansas river, which might be used for transportation in case of war.
 As a business investment for the town, the money the soldiers would spend during their annual encamp- ment would pay well for all the trouble of assisting the government in securing a desirable location.
 "As 1 understand it, the United States government is not looking for a donation in the way of land, but expects to purchase at reasonable price the most desirable location it can find for the purpose of perma- nent camp and mobilization for the Arkansas militia in case of war. As to the individual tract to be selected as best here, We would doubtless hear from others, who have land to sell or who would select some definite loca- tion.
 If the people of the town want it (and it may never have occurred to you that that's the essential thing in getting most of the things We have) :. I believe the Board of Trade would be very prompt to give all assistance.

that all preferred stock is to be

The experiments made by Mr..

Those who have visited Hebron
