STROUD ANNOUNCES

Hon. John C. Stroud of Washing ton township announces in today's paper as a candidate for represen- tative. MT. Stroud is no stranger to the people of Independence county, having represented this county in the legislature of 1887, 1889 and 1897. His record marks him as a man of more than ordi- nary legislative ability and a man of sound judgment. He favored and fought for retrenchment and reform, and stood at all times for those measures calculated to lessen taxation. His friends declare that while he was in the legislature, taxes were lower and the country in a more prosperous condition than 1t has ever been. He was ever watchful in the interests of the people and while in the legis- lature was dubbed "The Watch dog of the Treasury"
 MT. Stroud declares himself in favor of the same economical and conservative policies, and those who know him best, declare that if elected he will do much toward bringing the country back to a more safe and sound basis.

KNOCKNERS NOT WANTED

It is a well-known fact that the Herald has never supported Gov. Donaghey in a primary election, and has at times been very severe in its criticisms of some of his ac- tions but at the same time we feel that unless the opposition comes out on some well-defned platform, the governor will succeed himself in the gubernatorial chair. No man has ever yet won a political race on the demerits of his opponent; he must have a well-outlined plan of his own, and stand on his indi- vidual merits.-Hazen Herald.

DELIGHTFUL ENTERTAINMENT

Sulphur Rock, Mch. S. Miss Daisy Northern entertained her Sunday School class Saturday af- ternoon from 2::30 until 5 o'clock. An hour was spent in studying and preparing the lesson for the follow ing Sunday, with Mrs. Geo. North ern acting as teacher. After sing ing "Why Stand Ye Here Idle" we were invited into the dining room where refreshments were served. We were entertained the remaind- CT of the afternoon with piano solos and duets by the Misses Northern.
 Owing to the inclemency of the weather only a part of the class were present, as follows: Mrs. Geo. Northern, Misses Daisy and Lockie Northern, Rachel and Emma Gil breath, Nora Lindsey, Blanche Sink, Orena Long, Josie Huddles- ton, Mazilla Brown and Maud Moore.
 Miss Daisy has been teacher of the young ladies' class since the Baptist Sunday School was organ ized in 1908 and each of us left feeling glad we were a member of her class. A MEMBER.

CAMP AIGN IS WARM
Senatorial and GubernatoriaI Candidates Actively Engag-
 ed In Political Scrap

Some decidedly warm literature IS being distributed over the state, and charge and counter-charge IS the burden of it all. Jeff Davis is circulating speeches and posters on red paper charging that an effort will be made to steal the election" from him, and he repeats on every stump that Brundidge is "a political corpse" and cannot get a corporaTs guard to hear him. Col. Brundidge re- torts with affidavits and newspa- per statements proving that he is being heard by tremendous crowds everywhere, that the people are enthusiastically Hooking to his standard, and that he will defeat Davis overwhelmingly.
 Gov. Donaghey has issued a red hot pamphlet which is stirring up agreat deal of talk. It is entitled, You Cannot Serve the State and the Devil-and Why" In this pamphlet he asserts that the Whiskey Ring, the School Book Trust, the Big Cotton Dealers and Gamblers, the Hot Springs Gam blers and Thugs, the Caldwell & Drake Crew, the State Farm Craft ters, the Convict Contractors, the Pulaski County Political Ring, the Railroads, and the Little Rock street Railway Company are all against him, and are supporting Robinson. And he says:
 Will you perpetuate a condi- tion-the supporters of which are for Mir. Robinson-that debauches the Senate thorough a whiskey lobby; that made some rooms of the state capitol a place viler than the vilest wine-room?"
 To all charges Mir. Robinson en- ters denial, asserting that the gov ernor's administration las been a record of insincere pledges, brok- en promises, extravaganza and in- competence.

WORKED HIS WAY UP
Donaghey Came From Working Class and is in Sympathy
 With Those Who Foil

Hon. Geo. W. Donaghey is the first governor Arkansas has had in a score or more of years that came up from and represented the business and industrial masses of our people. All of his predecessors for years back while some of them were truly good men-have either been lawyers or profession al politicians, or both. Gov. Don- aghey represents the whole peo- pie, but more particularly is he in sympathy with the laboring or in- dustrial classes. For the greater portion of his life he has been closely associated with this class of people, having spent the best part of his life and earned his little all in all as a builder of houses, bridges, road-bedsand other public work, and having in his employ thousands of good, honest men who earned their living "by the sweat of their brow" Insn't he then better qualified to know the wants and needs of the masses than those who only know and represent their classes? Being hon. est beyond criticism, and having made a success of his own person. al affairs, is evidence sufficient that the affairs of our state are in safe hands. There is no doubt but that Gov. Donaghey will be reelected, but let the people of Arkansas show their appreciation of his past services by giving him an overwhelming majority. Earle Enterprise.

DREAM OF THE FUTURE
A Glimpse of the Things That Will be Brought to Pass in
 Newark by Mr. Hog

Squeeze over, MT. Editor, 1 am dreaming. I heard a mighty, rush. ing wind; it rent the heavens, and the little oaks in Newark bowed and gave up their acorns, and the hogs waxed and growed fat. The children, on going to school, had to be sent home to wash the grease from their hands and face, after eating so much hog fat. While they were gone, the school board paid off the $6,000 debt on the building with the hog crop. In the distance was heard the "honk, honk" of Dr. Evans and Ed Ches- ser's old automobiles coming down the street, Dr. Evans yelling Look out, the street cars are just be- hindw But lol and behold, as those great electric street cars come rushing in we smelled an awful scent, yet nothing to con- pare with a hog pen, and it imme- diately stopped the wheels of the great electric cars that the hog crop, fattened on those acorns, had put in progress in Newark.
 Every time I come to town,
 The boys keep kickin' my hog aroun;'
 Makes no diff if he is lean and poor, Shant kick my hog aroun' no more.
 Second Spasm. And the cotton acreage was cut down, and New ark was put in corn and 1t came to pass that the same year another crop of hogs did wax and grow fat upon upon the streets, and as the chariots leisurely wended their way down the magnifcently paved streets dotted with beautiful man. sions, and the Newark millionaires pointed out to us what the hogs running on the streets had done for the town; and not a poor man could be found, and now no man has to live on piece of ground 100 X 150 square. Selah!
 Comrades, let the watchword be: Allow no improvements till everybody gets rich"
 See, they have tore down the fence from around our school house, turned our children outside and built sidewalks. ISEEAH.

 A. B. Pelley of Dunnington was in town Tuesday with a smile for all he met-and he's not a candi- date, either.
 Our deputy sheriff has been rounding up some of the boys in Oil Trough township for circuit court, and 1t is reported that he carried up one to board with Pike.
 Soy. J. L. Outlaw has received a fine gold spoon from the Supreme Grove of the Woodmen Circle. We havn't learned whether 1t is for him to drink buttermilk with or whether the goat is sick and has to take catnip tea out of the spoon.
 A man hired a hand. He put him to work but the hand soon quit and went away on a trip, but finally when the crop was gather ed he came back to draw his pay. Was he entitled to anything? Would you have paid him any thing? Yes, you will if you vote for Jeff Davis, for he goes off and leaves his job any time he gets ready and goes back and draws his salary just as though he had been at his post of duty all the time. How long are the people going to stand for such unworthy public servants?
