Do Your Duty Tuesday.

On Tuesday, November 8, 1914, the election of one United States Senator and seven Congressman from Arkansas will take place.
 The Republicans have an op- ponent against James P. Clarke, the Democratic nominee for Se- ator. The Democratic nominees from the Third and Fourth Con- gressional Districts likewise have opponents.
 While there is no danger from such opposition, yet Democrats should not be found sleeping upon that date; as a matter of party pride, and that the magnif- cent administration of President Wilson may be endorsed in Ark ansas, Democrats ought to take time to go to the polls and vote.
 The ticket will not be a long one and it can be made out in a short while. Let us, therefore, do our duty in Arkansas.

Peanuts Profitable.

John Werschkey of Webb City planted two and a half acres of small Spanish peanuts last year on land that had been in cultiva- tion for thirty years and worn so badly that it would not produce five bushels of corn per acre. He has cured and baled ninety six bales of choice hay and made hundred bushels of peanuts on the two and half acres.
 Next year he is going to plant forty acres of the large white variety, called Jumbo. which will produce twice as many nuts per acre. He is figuring on buying a thresher and shipping the nuts They range in price from 46 cents to $1. 50 per bushel. At the average price of 98 cents his two and a half acres would have brought him $196. for the nuts besides the valuable hay. It might be possible to start a peanut butter factory here, if the growing of the nuts becomes extensive enough.

Business Men Meet
At the business mems meet

At the business mems meeting last night at the Court House the proposition of a whirlwind campaign of this county to in- duce the countrymen to diversity their crops and cut the cotton acreage, was discussed at length and a committee appointed to canvass the town for automo- piles, to see the merchants about closing their stores during the tour of the county and secure other assistance.

 About 25 cars will be needed to carry the speakers to the var ious farms and neighborhoods where practical demonstrations and speeches will be made.
 We cannot learn the outcome of the canvass today. but feel sure that this matter will be taken hold of by our business men in their usual energetic manner.
 We shall have Profitable Farming Campaign for Franklin County.

Congressional Election

Four days from today we, the world, is going to ask us our opinion of the work just con- pleted by Democratic adminis- tration and the Democratic ma jority in Congress. Has it been satisfactory to you? Do you feel a pride in its achievements? Has it lived up to it's promises? From your knowledge of the opinion of the wise men of othes nations do you believe that we have won their admiration? Have we done anything to allay the just fear that they once entertained that it was our in- tention to oppress them or to rob them of their independence? Do they feel easier than they did when MT. Roosevelt or Mir. Taft sat in the White House? Are they more kindly disposed toward us? Do we now have better chance to win that part of their trade to which our re- sources and our geographical po- sition entitle us? If so have we not a right to expect greater share in the world markets than we have ever had before? Will not men be more likely to trade freely with us now that we do not make them pay so much to boot in the way of tariff Do you not feel more secure from the perils of war under this ad- ministration than you did under either of the last two! If you can answer a majority of these questions in the affirmative would it not be unwise to make a change at this time? You al- ways get as good government as you are entitled to. In time of war the nation has a right to demand your services in the ranks of the army; in time of peace it has the same right to demand your servicea in her councils. The general election is time of national council. If you want good government con- tinued be at the polls and cast your vote and influence for those who have so exclusively demon strated their ability and their fit ness to give it to you,

In every county to be visited there will be from 25 to 30 meetings and the local people will have charge of the arrange ments. Advance men are now going out all over the state as- sisting counties, that have ask ed for the campaign, to organize and prepare schedule meetings.

WILSON'S LETTER HELPS bUNNELL vor of Democratic Candidate
 At Juneau.

JUNEAU, Nov. 2.-President Will sons telegram to Charles B. Bunnell expressing hope of his election as del egate from Alaska, Is having a mark ed effect here, not only on the waver. ing vote but to some extent on peo. pie who were aligned on the Wick ersham side.
 The Wickersham boosters had so consistently and positively asserted that Wickersham was ace high with the president that they had made many people believe nobody else could get anything from the Wilson admin istration, and that the president was anxious to see Wickersham returned. The people who were caught for Wickersham by that pretense are now resentful and have gone over to Bun nell.
 The feeling also prevails that on ac- count of Wickersham's well-known disposition to fight everybody who opposes him in anything he will now become an implacable enemy of the president and if elected will fight Will son as he fought Taft. In view of the fact that Taft tried to force on Alaska something 1t did not want, while Wilson has given the territory much that 1t does want it Is felt that .. the resulting friction will jeopardize the railroad and other Alaska inter- ests.
 The Empires declaration that 1t would be better by far to have no delegate han to elect Wickersham' under existing circumstances. Is gen. erally accepted by public opinion here.
 Juneau, Douglas and surrounding precincts are certain to give Bunnell "a large majority. and he will unques tionably carry the First division by a majority that will offset any lead Wickersham can get in the Fourth
 A strong array of political workers are in the field for Bunnell working like beavers. The woman vote il practically solid for him.
