 On June 23. OFFICIALS MUST ACT Township Vacancies to Be Supplied -. Gives His Reasons in
 Letter.
OFFICIALS MUST ACT.

Little Rock, Ark. June Election commissioners in the various counties of the state cannot understand why they should issue proclamations O.. ing for a primary election to fill va cancies in county and township offices when the governor has not issued a to be filled.
 In order to make his position plain in the matter, Governor Futrel has issued a letter to all county election commissioners, showing them that he cannot issue call for an election un- til 80 days prior to the date upon (Which it is to be held. He announced some time ago that he would call d special election for July 23, bus he cannot legally issue a proclamation until June 3, before which time the primaries must be held in the various counties. He points out that it is the duty of ,he county commissioners to issue the call for the filling of the vacancies, if they desire competition among Democrats in the primary in- stead of in the general election.

 Alderman Veil reported that Judge Philpot had agreed to give the city $1,200 in county warrants to aid the city in building bridges and improv- ing streets. A bridge will be built on East Fifth avenue over the ravine.
 City health regulations and sanita- ton were discussed by Aldermen Franey, Simpson, Sorrells and Gthers and Mayor Bloom reported that the city health officer was instructing owners of fruit stands to screen their places. Unless the law is compiled with they will be arrested and fined.
 An ordinance, prohibiting drum ming on the part of negroes and oth- CTS representing various business houses from soliciting on the streets, and fixing a fine of from $10 to $2o for it's violation, was passed by the council, but Mayor Bloom, declaring that he believed the ordinance uncon stitutional, said that he would ask the city attorney for an opinion on the new law and if it was not favorable he would veto the ordinance.
 On motion of Alderman Veil all ordinance will be brought in at the next meeting, increasing the tax on poles of local corporations from 50 cent seach to $1.00 each per annum. He said that the city's revenue could be increased in this manner $1,700 a year.
 An ordinance was passed fixing new and heavier license tax on hotels and restaurants. The new law fixes the annual tax as follows: Hotels, 10 rooms or more. $25 per annum; 20 rooms or under, $15 per annum; res taurants and lunch counters, $10 per annum; boarding houses for trans ients, $2.o0 per annum.

Little Rock, June ?, 1913.


 w. F. Turner, Chairman Central
 Committee, Atkins, Ark:
 Dear Sir-l am in receipt of yours of this date, with reference Ito calling special elections to fill vacancies in the office of justice of the peace ill your county. l note what you state with reference to the propriety of al- lowing the justices who have been appointed to fill these vacancies .em- porarily 'to continu'e in office until the next general election.
 l am obliged to reply, however, that the obligation is just as binding upon me to call special eiec ion for jus tice of the peace as it is to cal. cllc to fill vacancy in the office of governor. On or about the 23rd of this month 1 expect to issue a prGc- lamation calling elections in every county in shis state to fill all va cancies in county and township of fices, except that of constable. This is ill compliance with the law and what the law commands it is proper to do. If the la,M is not as it should be he legislature or the people themselves by the initiative may change it.
 In order to know what vacancies will have to be filled you might con suit the county clerk, who keeps up with the appointments and resigna- lions and for every position in the county which is generally filled by election Gall offices created in Article [ of the Constitution) and where there has been a vacancy occurring since the last election, whether filled by appointment temporarily or sill vacant, you should provide in your tickets for filling the same. This de- bends, or course, upon your decision as to whether the Democratic party wants primary to provide nominee for such positions. l am simply giv- ing you notice that a special election will be hold on July B to fill all vacant positioisn and all political par ties may take such steps as they see fit by promary or otherwise to be rep.

Minnesota Ball Player Demands Ex-

Up in Minnesota Swede named
Jensen was the star pitcher of cne of
the league teams. The score was to
0 in the ninth. AS his team started
for the field to begin the tenth he sud-
denly dropped the ball and started for
the bench "Hey, what's the mat
ter?" cried the manager. Jensen held
up large, brown hand for attention,
and then made oratory:
"Mester Manager, Aye ban guide
hard worker Aye ban Wiling dat Aye
skal peeetch das nine ennings But
fen Aye ban ask that Aye skal go das
overtimes, Aye ban made kick. Aye
ban guide union mans an Aye not work

promise him SIS on the side before he'd
go back and finish the game.
