VICTORY FOR HARMON

Despie the fact that the Clark supporters are claiming to have car ried the state for their favorite in the county convention held in Arkansas last Saturday, it is apparent that Governor Hudson Harmon, of Ohio got the best of his opponent in tn ght CT the Arkansas delegation. Har mons friends in this stsje fought for m uninstructed delegat on from eaci If the counties but insisted on the SC }ec.ion of Harmon delegates to the
 tate convention. A large majority cl he county conventions sent unin structed delegations Co the state con vent on, but in large number of then Harmon men were named. Clari and Wilson resolutions were voted down in many of the county gather. 'ngs Grant county with three vote.
 Il the state conven ion, was the only county to instruct for Wilson. It it generally adm tied that Woodrow Wilson has been eliminated from the contest in Arkansas insofar as the state convention IS concerned The Clark and Harmon supper ers wif 9vidently clash on the floor of thf state convention and il lcoks as if tht state will either instruct fer Goyerno,
 Iarmon or send an uninsjructsd dele
 gation to the Baltimore convention
 The Harmon sendmen. iii tn s stat IS exceptionally strong and the ma iority of the delegates to he stats sonvere ion would rather see an unin-
 ,trueted delegation go to the Baltt. more gathering than have th stat
 instruct for any one man and tie the lands Of the delegates at Baltimore
 Many persons are in favor 6f Harmon md Underwocd as tho national Dem ocratio ticket and this idea seems to be un.getsel throughout he south.

FIRE DOG UNWELG0ME CUES I Even Boarding F'ino One Day in lhe Week Almost Gives Woman
 Nervous prostration.

Ask any freman's wife what day in the week she dreads most, and the chances are she will tell you tic day the ire station dog takes his meals at her house, says the Philadelphia Times.
 Not that we don't like the dog" one woman said, "but because we have to be so careful about our cook ing. The men at the station where my husband works are afraid to bring Barney up on restaurant food. They think he will thrive better on good home cooking, SC they take turns at entertaining him.
 "Wednesday is his day here. He comes for all three meals. It is day of anxiety If I make things too rich Bob sWcars I'll give Barney indiges- tion. If they aren't rich enough he will not be sufficiently nourished. I don't mind cooking for Bob nor fer any amount of company, my mother ir-law included, but fixing things for Barney gets on my nerves"

 The night meeting az the Court House was attended by a large crowd If the repress sntatiye laborfng whit men of Pine Bluff and there was nct m empty seais in the Circuit Cour Room anywhere.
 Your pan6r, as well assa good many f the citi1ers of Pine Bluff, seem to ntirely s-understand the attitud5 if the TaX-Papers Proit ective Assoeia

 Our fight has bean made on tho un- just proyis cns of the law and on the 5ma1l realty assessment in Jefferson county.
 The Free Bridge District at Fort Smith comprises two counties, the bridge connects two cite and was 1uilt with a re2lsy assessment about hree times as large as Jefferson county.
 The Free Bridge at Little Rock connects two cities and when built ven twenty years ago, the realty as- zessment Il Pulaski County was all most double the present assessment in Jefferson County, and a botched job vas made of that bridge in addition. In our fight aga nst the Proposed Free Bridge have ne personal feel ng against any one; in fact, one of he attorneys who drew he bill, was 1t the time and is now, one of the closest personal friends 1 have in Pine Bluff,
 In our fight I have te ed conscient- usly 70 make no statements to the lublic which would not prove by the Tree Bridge Bill agI passed by the last legislature, except as to cost of con- truction; to arrive d. the statament; ] I have made about this, l have gained fnfcrmat on from every posaitl. ource about the cost of bridges ot he character of the proposed Free Bridge.
 In closing, I wish to say tat the fight for the Free Bridge cannot be ] von by personal abuse to myself. as ! ou seem 5c think in your paper.
