over which the vagaries OF fashion

have their sway. A new fancy is said
to be the elimination of the date of

CANDIDATES FOR STATE
 OFFICES CROPPING OUT
Numerous Prominent Men of Ar kansas Mentioned as Candi- dates for Governor and
 Other State Offices

LlClle ROCK, Oct. l4.-Certaln candidates for Governor in 1916 now appear to be J. W. Crockett, at present State Treasurer, and Earle w. Hodges, present Sec retary of State. Indications in- clude G. w. Hays, governor, in the almost certainties, with John Il. Page Commissioner of Agri- culture, as a strong possibility. Congressmen w. A. Oldfeld and T. II. Carraway, are also possi- blllties, but the definite decision on the part of Treasurer Crock cit is expected to remove from the list such possibilities as c. .C. Reid, Stephen Brundidge, T. c. McRae, David A. Gates and Allen H. Hamiter, though the latter may be a candidate for At tOrney General.
 Prof. c. H. Brough, of Fayet- teville, the head of a department in the University of Arkansas is also among the certainties for the office of Governor.
 For Attorney General Festus o. Butt of Eureka Springs, and Obidiah X. Pindall of Little Rock are the only one definitely men, toned up to this time. Attor- |ney James Graham of Hot Springs usually warns up with the boys but never stays after the wraps are removed for the real running. G. Love Grant is also a possibility in this contest. He formerly resided in Newport representing Jackson county several times in the legislature, then resided in Little Rock a short time and is now represent ing the union miners at Fort Smith. Should he run he would probably have the backing of the labor element
 There are now three avowed candidates for Secretary of State, V. A. Beeson of Morrilton, Ieditor of the Headlight and pres- Iident of the Arkansas Press As sociation; Clyde Robinson, a
 banker of Piytheville, and A. s. Maddox, formerly a prominent educator of 3che state, but now in the insurance business at For dyce.
 As Rufus McDaniels is serv- ing his first term when the pri- maries will be held, he will hard ly have opposition as State Treasurer. The same will apply to State Land Commissioner, where w. B. Owen will be serv- ing his first term.
 There will be vacancies on the Supreme Court and Tax Com mission, but as yet no candidate have been mentioned for the va 'cancies. It is taken that there will be opposition in all cases, but as the members of the Tax Commission are appointed by the Governor, these offices will hardly be filled by the people.
 R. M. Hutchins, now deputy Commissioner of Agriculture, will ask the voters of Arkansas to promote him at the end of Commissioner Pages term. Ed w. Green, of Camden, but who is now employed in Pine Bluff, has announced that he will seek this office also.
 At the end of the present year there will be vacancies in the State Labor and State Banking departments, but John M. Davis the present head of the banking department has the indorsement of every bank in the state, and his appointment was on the rec ommendation of the Arkansas Bankers Association, he will hardly have opposition. Julius c. Clary is also slated for reap pointment, as the head of the Labor Department, according to state house gossip.
