e0TH GOVERNORS
 CLAIM TO BE "IT"

Little Rock, March 2Oth.- Those who listened to the argu- pents of the attorneys for the
 .nhernatorial squabble, before .he supreme court Wednesday ,.orninp. and still were of the
 oo;nion that Acting Governor oldham would receive the decis- ion, kept their peace, On the aher hand, one had to stop his oars to prevent hearing com mpnts in favor of President pro tem Futrell.
 The court room was crowded as 1t has never been since the Supreme court moved to the new capitol building and the au- dence was well made up of law yers, state officials and employees in the state department.
 The arguments were much uD- on the proposition of there being or not being a vacancy in the office. The attorneys for Act ing Governor Oldham asserted he succeeded to the office a n d could hold it until the end of the to which Gov Robinson was el- ected. They cited cases i'll by
 gone days when President of the Senate Samuel Adams, in 1884, had held the office after his term expired because there was no one properly elected who could
 take it until the next meeting of legislature.
 Attorneys for President pro ten fntrell argued the office of
 Governor was either vacant, or
 that of Senator from the district
 represented by Acting Governor
 futrull. They also urged the
 office and not the person occupy,
 ing the office, was intended in
 the wording of the constitution.

when it stated that the President Ot the Senate should succeed to the office of Governor, in such a emergency as has arises, an d claimed the President pro tenn of the Senate was chosen at the end of the term to fill such a function. On the other hand, the attorneys for the appellee. Acting Governor Oldham, claim ed the person, and not the office was the intent of the framers of the constitution, which would permit Acting Governor Oldham to hold over.
 The attorneys for Acting Gov ernor Oldham stated he would call special election for the pur- pose of filling the office perma- nently, but when asked when he would set the date of the cleo tion, the acting governor merely replied that the people would have to wait until after the de- ciSion to see.
 The attorneys intimated the el- ection would soon be held for no one in the office would attempt to thwarth the will of the people by making the delay a lengthy one.

BOOKS THAT TELL
 TRUTH OF ARKANSAS

with the constantly increasing interest in Arkansas and the con. sequent demand for reliable in- formation regarding the state's resources and opportunities of 1ered the home seeker and inves. tor, the Missouri Pacific Iron Mountain has prepared, at con- siderable expense, series of six profusely illustrated folders. on as many sections of the state, which present plain facts and deal with conditions as they real ly exist. We are just in receipt of sample set of these folders sent to us by F. E. Schroeder, Assistant General Passenger Agent, at Little Rock.
 These folders cover six geo. graphical divisions of the state as follows: Central Arkansas. Northeastern Arkansas, South eastern Arkansas. Southwestern Arkansas, The White River Country, The Arkansas Valley.
 They are put out in neat, at 
 tractive cover that in itsself is an invitation to visit this rapidly growing commonwealth. The text of the several booklets was prepared, after an exhaustive in vestigation, by John c. Small, Editor of the Arkansas Home stead, of Little Rock, a man who Is thoroughly informed regard, ing the resources of the state, and the subject matter has been so subdivided as to condense into a convenient and readable form, a comprehensive and authentic description of each of the princi- pal sections of the state.
 It will probably be a surprise, even to Arkansans, to know that wit hin the past 10 years more than 100000 people have moved into this state--20,000 new citi- .zens every year brought in by the railroads and of this vast number of new settlers, the Miss ouri Pacific Iron Mountain Lines have furnished the major portion.
 Estimating that each of these POO, 1000 new corners spend an av- craze of S100 annually the mer- chants bank accounts in the state are increased by twenty million dollars a year, and this is due very largely to the effective work and extensive advertising of the railroads. This helps us to better understand and appre- ciate what the railroads are doing for our state.
 There are 30 million acres of vacant land in Arkansas await. ing the coming of new settlers to adapt it to farming and stock raising. Every Arkansan is in- terested in the developments of this favorite state and will be glad of an opportunity to help in giving publicity to it's resources.
 If you have a friend or ac- quaintance anywhere in the North or East who ought to live in Arkansas, send his name and address to the Missouri Pacific Iron Mountain Immigration De ,partment at St. Louis or to MT. Schroeder, and one of these fold CTS covering your particular sec tion of the state will immediately be sent to him.
