 We hope. therefore. that all good democrats will see, as we believe. that the best way 10 settle the democratic muddle and prevent repetition of frauds upon the ballot in the future, is to retain your standing in the party under the regular democratic orgauiz- ation, and hereafter thereby have a much better, in fact tie only chance to control the party conventions and dictate its organization or reorgauiz- ation.
 Nothing can be done from outside. and, as the Supreme Co4rt las said. tie party must settle its own differ euces itself

MYERS SPEAKS.

Hon. II. H. Myers. republican stand pal candidate f1r governor of Arkau- Na>, aGdresse,3a a fairly lar-e-~ized audi enee at the count house in this city last Monday night.
 'fLe writer Wal not present. h.t u0- dgr,tauds that there were quite a number of democrats in the audierce. and while they augh at the idea of Harry being elected to the governor s office they do him the louvr and justice 10 say that he made fine speech; that it was void 9f persanali- ties and abuse of Iii, opponents, and iu every way manly exploitation ot .hls claims for the suffrage of ali good men regardless " political affiliations.

 The republican party k itself badly torn assuuder or at least las big rent in it, and even if he was the only opposing candidate. still Judge Hays, as the democratic standard bearer. woeld be elected by a good big maio- rity.
 From a circular issued by the Ar kansas State League of Progressive Clubs which is bun moose organ ization that is working to defeat Hays particularly and Myers incidentally. and elect CoI@Ge0 W Murphy. the progressive candidate. we reproduce the closing paragraph, as follows
 As to the candidacy of Harry H. Myers for governor il has been stated that it isin the interest Of adge Hays, and to prevent the election of Colonel Murphy. If this be true. the republi can stand-pat humorists are again in evidence when they attack the steam roller proceedings of the Democratic state Central Committee at the Ma the people. They should remem Der that MT. Myers was one of the skilled political mechanics who helped To oil and operate the Taft steam roller of 1912. and thereby helped 10 wreck and ruin the great national organization of the Republican party If you do steam roller of 1912, or the George w. Hays steam roller of 1913, we trust you will vote for Colonel Murphy
 This circular is signed by Sid E. Bedding, heretofore one of the big gest republicans in the state but who is now disgrantIed republican ball mooser.
