The log cabin Democrat., 1913-07-03
WHERE THE RESPONSIBILITY
 LIES.

If Judge Hays is defeated for elec- tion on July g and if for the first time since reconstruction days other than Democratic nominee is elected governor of Arkansas, the blame can justly be laid upon the nineteen members of the Democratic State Central Committee wiN refused to en- certain the contest of MT. Brundidge
 The steam-roller process has been antiquated and any semblance of un- fairness or high handed methods in politics is quick to be resented by the people. It was just this that split the Republican party wide open in the last national election and brought about the ignominious defeat of both wings of that party.
 The Log Cabin Democrat regretted that the contest was filed by MT. Brundidge and regretted that Judge Hays could not have been certified as the nominee upon the face of the of ficial returns. It is peculiarly unfor tunate for the Democratic party that such conditions have arisen.
 But since the contest was filed, it is more unfortunate for the party, that the majority of the central committee saw fit to make mockery of the in- vestigation and relentlessly to push the steam roller over the minority every time it arose to contest the re- turns.
 The committee was directed by the court to make fair and thorough in- vestigation of the charges of fraud. The very first act of. the majority was to limit the investigation to three days Of course, this could be ex- cused on the ground that the commit tee was forced to certify a nominee before midnight July 2, in order that his name might be printed nthe bal lots. But when the Brundidge forces sought to have mandatory order is- sued by the committee to have the bal lots and poll books brought in from the contested counties, the Hays ma- jority amended the resolution by Ire questing" the returns to be brought before the committee.
 In not single instance did the ma jority evince the slightest inclination to sift the charges of MT Brundidge
 falc " The only county which responded to the "request" was Ouachita. The re- turns from this county were laid be- fore the committee on Tuesday morn- ing, but they were unaccompanied by any list of the voters, without which it was impossible to verify the re- turns
 On Wednesday morning, the last day of the meeting, the list of voters was brought in, and after a strenu- ous effort the minority secured one and one-half hours time in which to make the investigation. In the mean time, although the returns from the other contested counties had never been brought in. much evidence of fraud on behalf of Judge Hays was laid before the committee.
 During the time allotted, two town ships of Ouachita county were exam ined. It was found that in one of these townships 25 votes were cast by persons whose names did not appear in the list of those having paid poll tax; in the other township there were 37.
 This is as far as the majority would permit the investigation to go On the first introduction of real and substan- tial evidences of fraud, the commit tee summarily dismissed the entire contest and adopted. by vote of 19 to 8, resolution declaring Judge Hays the nominee.

ROBBED GYPSUM STORE OF $500
Believe a Gang Broke Into the King
Merchandise Store.

Gypsum City, Dec. 5.-The gen.
eral merchandise store of Frank
King was broken into and merchan-
disc to the amount Of 500 was
stolen. The robbers cut the glass
in a back door in order to gain en-
trance to the store. 1t Is supposed
that they hauled their plumber away
in a wagon. AS rain fell all night
it was impossible to determine
whether a wagon was used or not
The robbery of the King general
merchandise store was discovered
by Frank King, owner of the store.
Mr.. King had just opened up when
he went to the rear of the store.
The hole in the glass of the back
door called his attention to the rob-
berry. Investigations showed that
about 500 worth Of merchandise
had been stolen. This merchandise
consisted of shoes. ladies' and mems
coats, furs, all pieces Of silk in the
store, ribbons, novelties, jewelry,
shirts and hand bags.
Conditions surrounding the rob
berry and the goods taken, would
indicate that the work may be that
of the gang OF robbers which OPP
Grated in Solomon some time ago.
Several robberies Of this nature were
pulled off at Solomon. One day a
bunch of the loot was found in sa-
lima and that seemed to brighten
the robbers for no further robber-
les were reported in this vicinity un-
til the one here.

The Christmas Dinner.

In spite of the fact that the word
dyspepsia means literally bad cook
1t will not be fair for many to lay
the blame on the cook If they begin
the Christmas dinner with little ap-
petite and end 1t with distress OF
nausea. 1t may not be fair for any
to do that-let US hope so for the
sake OF the cook! The disease dys-
pepsia indicates a bad stomach, that
is a weak stomach. rather than 9
bad cook, and for a weak stomach
there is nothing else equal to Hood I

vigor and tone, cures dyspepsia,

MANN BLOCKS ACTION
ON WAR CLAIM BILLS

Washington, Dec. 6.-The House
spent most of Friday discussing the
Southern omnibus bills, carrying to-
tai of $1,729,O0O for claims growing
out Of damage to persons or property
during the Civil war. A filibuster led
by Representative Mann of Illinois, the
Republican leader, prevented action
on the bill, which, however, probably
will come up again next Friday.
Democratic Leader Underwood took
personal charge of the fight for the
payment of claims and served notice
on the Republicans that when the op
portunity came they would be passed
by the House, regardless of dilatory
tactics or any other opposition from
tho minority.
The bill carries $1,191, 900 for gov
