that is being circulated in all the coun-
ties tributary to the oklawaha river:
ocala. Fla, March 25, 1913"
ITO the Honorable Board of Engineers
for Rivers and Harbors, Southern
Building. washington, d. c.:
Gentlemen: Referring to your mo-
tice Of date 18th of March, 1913, in
ed the report of the district officer,
Capt. Slattery. for the Improvement of
the Ok1awaha river, we the undersi gn-
citizens OF Marion county, respectfully
urge that IL you have found that the
execution of the proposed plans of the
district officer will involve the expen-
diture OF too much money, then we
ask that instead of a 6-foot channel,
so feet wide, as proposed by the dis
trict officer. that 6-foot channel 80
feet wide be opened between the
points recommended by the district Of
ficer. or as far up as Lake Eustis. and
we call Your attention to the fact that
this river has been in use for naviga-
ton up to Lake Eustis ever since be-
fore the civil war. and that the APP
parant disuse of the same is princi-
pally due to a few sand bars and
shoals which occur particularly in low
water but which have operated to
thwart and prevent the successful
operation of all the steamboat lines
that have ever undertaken to operate
thereon. We urge that your honora-
Bile body afford US some relief and
give US an outlet through which this
section viii profit"

IS NEWPORT SATISFIED?
The Evidence Is Convincing. The Testimony Open To Investi-
 gation.

Before statement can be ac- cepted here, it must be support ed by local testimony-by the evidence of someone residing in Newport. Statements from un- known people in remote places, may be true, but we cannot prove them. Here is a statement by q Newport man:
 w. I. Hall, farmer, R. r. D. No. ?, Box 97, Newport, Ark, says: :: "I have never lost an opportuni- ty during the past six years to praise Doan's Kidney Pills for what they have done for me, as well as others of my family. They have made such complete cures of kidney trouble that it has not been necessary for us to take them or any other kid ney medicine since.
 "One of the family took Doan's Kidney Pills for trouble with the kidney secretions, together with a weak and painful back. They cured her and later I used them for a similar complaint. Their action in my case was just as satisfactory and I was quickly cured. Doan's Kidney Pills were procured at Dutton's Drug Store (Now Walkers Pharmacy) and have always been so beneficial that I willingly confirm our for mer endorsement"

least, the committee quibbled and evaded this duty. They had the power to command the ser vices of the sheriff or other off, . cers of the state to demand th
 delivery of the poll books and ballots.
 "The pretended hearing given by the committee was travesty upon justice and a denial of the rights of the contestant. 1 They did not obey the mandate of the court in truth or in spirit and I have said to the attorneys representing the contestant that upon request I would cite them for contempt, and compel res pect and obedience to the orders of the court, though I would be compelled to proceed against men who are my personal friends.
 This from one of the greatest
 judges in Arkansas, sounds the death knell to machine politics in Arkansas. It means that henceforth when fraud is com
 mitted in county that the state central committee must produce the ballots and poll books and not defy the laws of the state. MT. Brundidge has rendered the state greater service than any man in recent years in his fight against political corruption and much credit should be given
 NorWood, Stayton and other staunch followers who stood by
 him in this great chuse.-Jones-

Brundidge And His Contest.

Hon. Steve Brundidge, defeat ed on the face of the returns as democratic nominee for govern or, has contested the count ano thereby has placed his political identity in the balance. Should the result be favorable a politi- cal vista opens before him. Should he fail to make his charges good his career is end ed.
 The psychology of this is that the world hates a hard loser unless the hard loser can make good. If he can't make good he is called a joker for not taking his medicine when it is handed him.
 On the other hand, there is the voter to be considered and the
 
 good name of the party for conducting clean and honest pri- maries. If it is true, as claimed, that there has been fraud, the party and people should know 1t that they may properly punish and spew out those who have smirched the party honor and struck a blow at the root of civil liberty-the ballot. In view of the many charges of this kind made it may not be a bad idea to threSh out the mat ter, although, under present cir cumstances, there does not ap- pear to be time enough to make q thorough and impartial inves- tigation. The temper of the people, however, admits of no question; they are in 8 state of high disgust with the political status of affairs in Arkansas and when some plan is suggested, though it be radical, for getting rid of the job hunting oligarchy that is using the state for base personal ends that plan is going to be enthusiastically adopted.- Fort Smith Times Record.

 And the peculiar thing about the above state of affairs is that Judge Hays carried the town Ship.-Searcy Citizen.
 Well. yes. by 102 to 1, there is where the trouble comes in. The Hays men voted every republi- can they could. and every demo- crat they could drag across the line from Carroll county. Never mind, something is going to hap pen some of these days and those fellows over in Alpena will wish they hadn't. Mind what we tell you. The decent and good citizens of old Boone are not going to stand for such pro- cedure any longer. There is an- other day coming.-Harrison Daily Herald.

There is no denying the fact that when it comes to corrallng politicians with their hands be- hind them, Gene Williams is a daisy and no mistake.

The Rogers Democrat support ed Brundidge before the prim- ary; if he was fairly and honest ly defeated we are satisfied. Ii he was defeated by fraud, we want to see the dishonest cleo ton officials punished and the nomination go to the man who deserved it.

Thou Shalt Not Steal.


 How long will the rank and file of the party submit to political thievery and corruption upon the part of those who lead the party and still vote the ticket? Not al- ways, we should guess. Yellow dogism is dying-dying hard, but it's going. Those who con- trol the party and profit through holding the offices and dealing out the patronage have worked that racket too long now, and our judgment is the average voter sees lights he never saw before. The people are weary and sick of political methods which they know are reprehen- sible. They will revolt someday. The leaders of the democratic party in this state are as cer- tainly carrying the party to de- feat and destruction as the wheels of time move and the mills of the gods grind.
 The Progressive party has al ready nominated Col. George w. Murphy for governor. He is nothing more or less than a democrat disgusted with the methods and chicanery of his own party. He served through out the war as a Confederate soldier. As a campaign orator he will more than hold his own with most corners. The point we want to make is that with such an array of facts in his hands as we are convinced he will be able to secure before this Brundidge-Hays contest is over, and with thirty days in which to make a canvass of the state, Col. Murphy would give either Judge Hays or Mir. Brundidge the fight of his life. He might not be elected. Tn
 At any rate it would be a cam paign of education, in which the voters would secure a lot of in. formation that they would not soon forget.
 Neither MT. Brundidge nol Judge Hays can go before the people with a clean, clear title tc the democratic nomination fol governor. A clear title car come alone from an honest eX. pression of the public will, hon. estly counted. Only a clouded title can come from eleventh hour returns, from the state central committee or from the courts.
 But the big question does not end with this contest between l two men. Shall the democratic party obey the Eighth Com mandment ?-Sharp County Re- cord.
