 A publicity committee consisting of E. M Schober, Stanley Dreyfus and A. G. Bedell was instructed to visit the newspapers in the city and urge them to support the Bridge Commis- sion. This action was taken, it is said, because while one of the papers published in this city has at different | times stated that it was for the Free Bridge, at other times the position on the question was not quite clear and cne man who attended the mee.ing stated that he thought the paper was trying to play on both sides of the project in order to fall in with those who carried the issue.
 A committee was appointed from among the merchants on the several business streets to visit the retail merchants and urge them to be pres gent at the hearing of the finding cf the Free Bridge Commission which will come up before Judge A. B. Grace at il o'clock this morning.
 E. e. Arnold was elected president of the Association and presided over the meeting.
 The publicity committee called al the Graphic office in the afternoon aud expressed the thanks and appre- ciaticn of the retail merchants TOT the loyal support and conscientious stand taken by the Graphic for the Free Bridge. The members stated that this paper was always to the front when the interests of Jenerson county and her people could be best served.

The statewide prohibition bill will be voted on," said Mir. Robinson, this is not a political, but rather a Social and moral issue. No declara- ton concerning it is embrace in our state platform. However, the public is entitled to know my views and l have no disposition to equivocate con cerning this, or any other issue in the campaign. My personal views con- corning statewide prohibition were presented at length during the cam paign preceding the primary. They have not been changed. The intem- perate use of liquors has caused in- describable misery and suffering to mankind. Experience has not, how ever, convinced me that statewide laws afford better method of regul- ating and suppressing this evil than the system now prevailing in Arkan- sas commonly called Local Option.'
 Concerning "Local Option."
 Under this system, the places in which liquor may be lawfully sold have been reduced in number in two ways: First, by county option it has been made unlawful by the votes of majority of the electors in all but nine counties; second, it has also been made. unlawful in many localities in these counties by means of the three mile petition which any adult, incud- B women, may sign. Thus women, " ' are not authorized to vote for or against license, are given voice in the suppression of the liquor traffic in those counties where the majority of the electors have voted for li- cense. In states where state wide prohibition laws have been enacted, many localities where the sentiment is in favor of the sale of liquor under license, openly disregard the law and hold it in contempt"
 Believing that the public interests Will be conserved by recognizing local sentiment where this condition pre- yails. l doubt the wisdom of passing statewide prohibition bill for Arkan- sas. My position is prompted solely from the standpoint of what I regard the best manner of controlling dan gerons traffic. and is in no wise in fluenced by desire to connive at inn morality or to submit public affairs to the domination of selfish and ques- tionabie interests.
 Not Controlled by ~Interests.v
 The publication or circulation of literature which would imply any oth- er opinion on my part than that now asserted. or that my position Is as-1
