REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE
 IS HARRY H. MYERS

Little Rock, July 2-The Re- npblican party of Arkansas held convention in Little Rock Tues da0 afternoon and nominated Harry H. Myers, theregular gu hornatorial nominee to bow his neck under the yoke and sacri- fee himself to the cause. It was supposed that the Republicans would indorse George w. Murphy theg Bull Moose candidate, but when a resolution of that charac ter was offered, it was immedl- ately voted down. The resolu. lion was that there be no nomi- nee but it was met with disfavor, so the nomination of Harry H. Myers followed.
 The nomine of the party is now out of the state, and though he is requested to make a thorough canvass it is doubtful if he will make more than few speeches. The convention declared in favor of vigorous campaign, and to organize the forces in the differ ent counties, but this is consid- cred a scheme of the leaders to participate in the Democratic campaign, and the rank and file is not expected to follow the lead.

TROUBLE AHEAD FOR
 DEMOCRATIC PARTY

Little Rock, July 1-There is real trouble ahead for the Demo cratic party this year, according to current rumorS, on account of the dissention in the ranks. With Geo. W. Murphy, one of Arkansas leading orators on the stump as the Bull Moose candi- date, he will naturally draw fol- lowing from the ranks of the dis grunted Democrats, but here the strength of the Bull Mooser will not end. It is stated that the old line Republicans, who are holding their state convention in Little Rock today, will depart from the old custom of sending Harry H, Myers forth as the po' litical goat of the party, and will join hands with the Bull Moosers by indorsing the candidacy of Col. Murphy. All his life Col Murphy has been a Democrat, yet he is not expected to refuse the support of the Republicans in the present race.
 In addition to this the state wide prohibitionists are expect ed to declare for Col. Murphy, who directed~their fight in re- cent campaign, and to send word down theNne to all who oppose the sale ofliquor in Arkansas to vote for ColHMurphy. With the scattering of the Democratic vote this is expected to turn many more Democratic votes for the Bull Mooser, which would other, wise go to the Democratic candI date.
