ter of Populism in Arkansas. It re- mained in the Popuist column longer perhaps than any other county in the state.
 | But during all this time, though in the ranks of pitiful minority, Steph- en Brundidge remained a Democrat. Believing that the Democratic party stood for more that was right and true than the Populist party, and that right and truth must in the end pre- vail, he refused to join the majority and fought with all his earnestness and power to restore Democratic rule. Naturally his course engendered pre- iudices among his own people that were not forgotten even when the Populist party died and it's members returned to the Democratic fold.
 But this was not all. MT. Brun- didge was a candidate against Jeff Davis, who was seeking reelection for a second term. White county being center of Populism and radicalism, the utterances of MT. Davis, radical in the extreme, arousing class prejudices and backed up by personal magnetism, the equal of which had never been felt i in Arkansas politics, appealed with peculiar force to the people of that Icounty. From the day Davis entered state politics, White county was solid ly, almost unanimously, for him. Not only would it support him, but it uni formly supported every candidate whom Davis was known to favor. Ev- en when Governor Donaghey, in his race for second term, carried 73 of the 75 counties. White was one of the two which gave Kavanaugh major

 Neither MT. Brundidge nor any oth- CT citizen of White county could have carried that county against Senator Davis. We doubt if any citizen of Faulkner county could have carried Faulkner county against Senator Da- wis, although this county was by no means as strong Davis county as White. The great mass of White coun- tvs people were so strongly for Da- wis that scores of them would have voted against a brother opposed to Davis.
 Another fact which added to MT. Brundidge's difficulties was that he had served for number of years as prosecuting attorney of his district, during which time he waged relent- less war against law-breakers of every class. He was regarded as one of the strongest prosecutors in the state, and l inevitably won the hatred of many who had felt the sting of his legal lash.
 In addition to this, White county university. The first pays $145 and the second $40. One of these will be sions due to rivalry between it's towiis. suffers no little from internal dissen- Beebe has always wanted to be the county seat and Searcy has always de- sired to retain it. MT. Brundidge was born and reared in Searcy, and in the conflicts that have come up between it and other towns, he has stood by his theme town and led it's fights. This explains in part why he lost but IA votes in Searcy in his race against Senator Davis, yet was defeated in the county.
 Judge Hays is doubtless a good man and would probably make a good gov ernor. But Mir. Brundidge is also a good man, and the fact that he lost White county by a small margin in his race with Senator Davis does not ar que that he would not make good l
