HON A. R COOPER
 FOR CITY ATTORNEY

Following~a practice of law for sev- eral years in this city, Hon. A. R Cooper, one of the best known of the young lawyers of this city, has en- tered the field in the. race for the city attorneyship, to be decided at the primary of March 25.
 From the standpoint of being eff cient for the task there is little ques- ton, as he served for several years with one of the best known law firms of the city and the training 1here re- ceived has proven invaluable to him. He has since established a practice for himself and has been ranked as one of the successful attorneys of the local bar.
 That he will, if elected, carry out the affairs of the office in an able manner, is indicated by the fact that he is rated as very hard worker and
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1914-03-22

a man who is tireless in getting any business matter into just the proper shape. It k certain that city affairs would be carefully administered and that there would be wise adminis- tration under his charge of the affairs of the city attorneys office.
 He is not lacking in the proper ex- perience by any means, as he has for some time had an active experience in practice in the courts of this district and before the Supreme Court. For nation of improvement districts has been an especial work with him.
 Few men stand higher in the esti- nation of their fellow townsmen than does Mir. Cooper. He has the unre- served confidence of all who know him and there is no question but that the office would gain by him securing it. He has large number of friends who haveiinterested themselves in his candidacy and it is certainty that he is going to make strong big. He is

II is a source of pleasure to his friends that he is of the aggressive type of the younger generation who believes in pushing onward to higher levels and to constantly fit themselves to do great things.
 He laid good ground work for his future work and this ample prepara- tion has stood him i'll good stead. since he has been able to match legal wits with the best attorneys of the state and to come off with his share. and some times greater, of legal victories
 He has perhaps, as large a circle of friends as any young man of this sec ton of the country and his friends are confident that he will make a splendid race. They base this on the manner of race he ran when he was elected to the city attorneyship two years ago.

of that young manhood which is ac- complaining so many things in this country al the present time. In the trial of several important criminal of the ablest criminal lawyers of the state and the fact that the office of prosecuting attorney has been ably cared for is an indication that he is peculiarly fitted for the work.
 Prosecuting Attorney Parham is a painstaking, conscientious official, one who is willing to spend much time over small details in order that he may be convinced of the truth or falsity of d proposition, and never enters into a case unless he is thor Oughly prepared. He does this not alone that the interests of the state may be properly attended to, but that there shall be nothing of oppression. Extension of clemency where justified holds an equal right with him in the administration of justice where de- handed.
 His stand upon the law is that it should be impartially enforced and that to render his dut.' to the district he represents constitutes his one aim
 Personally, Prosecuting Attorney Parham is magnetic, he has always readily been able 10 make friends and consequently the list is consequently increasing
 That he will serve the office with honor there is not the least question, since he has demonstrated his ability in sufficient manner and has the implicit confidence of a large number of friends, who are pushing his claims in vigorous manner. He is clean of mind and habits, traits which well fit him for the responsibility he has successfully assumed and which he wishes again at the hands of the people.

PARHAM MAKES FINE
 RECORD IN OFFICE OF PROSECUTING ATTORNEY

The training he had at the post of assistant prosecuting attorney while Attorney T .Havis Nixon was prose- outing attorney stood the present holder of the office, Thomas G. Par ham, and who is seeking reelection. in fine stead, for it is held by those who are conversant with the handling of the office that ke has made an en- viable record.
 Throughout the Eleventh Judicial District it is known that he has car ried out the office in manner that has reflected dignity upon the state, has made it known that he will see that the law is respected and that he official. ---~' a<>
 Prosecuting Attorney Parham had several years experience as assistant to then Prosecuting Attorney Nixon and when the latter resigned shortly after he had entered upon his second term, the attorneys of the bar unani- mously endorsed to the governor MT. Parham as a successor. He was ap- pointed to serve until a special cleo ton was held and at that time he was candidate for reelection. AL though opposed by very able attor- hey and one who had experience as a campaigner, he was chosen by a handsome majority, ample evidence of the confidence that is reposed in him
 During the present campaign for the primary, which is due un March 25, Prosecuting Attorney Parham has been considerably handicapped by the fact that the press of duties has pre- vented him from making an active can vass. He has had to rely upon the fact that his record as an official is well-known and that he has the sup port of those who have endorsed him On other occasions.
 He is young man, in the full vigor

and the record is one of ability. in- tegrity, fairness to all alike and de- votion to the interests of the people, then there can be no reason why I should not be reelected. If I have failed in either of the points mention ed, then it is your duty to defeat me.
 Our party has long abandoned the "anti-third term idea, especially as to judicial offices, where experience and the cultivated judgment, which can only be gained by experience, counts so largely in the result.
 The office of judge is one of the most important in the gift of the peo- pie. The lives, liberty and property rights of the citizen depend, in large degree, upon the ability, judgment, dis erection and integrity of the circuit judge. The burden of expense to the tax payers can be increased or dimin- ished many thousands of dollars every year by the executive capacity, legal knowledge and industry, or want of it, displayed by the judge in conduct ing the business of the courts. I am not boasting, but only stating fact when l say that, measured by the test of cases affirmed by the Supreme Court, no circuit judge in the state

HON.. W. E. ALEXANDER
 FOR CIRCUIT JUICE

City Attorney w. B. Alexander. who has ably served the city of Pine Bluff for the past two years at this post and during which time he has been called upon for some brilliant work has shied his castor into another DOT tion of the political field, and is seek ing election at the hands of the people to the office of circuit judge of the Eleventh Judicial District
 In doing this he was not obsessed with an opinion that he is seeking something which is too arduous and delicate task for a young lawyer to assume but entered after he had been importuned by quite a number of friends to make the race, and solely on the ground of personal and legal fitness for the place.
 school. he has risen quickly to the foreground in the. few years of his practice and there are few young at torneys who have such a bright future ahead of them as has MT. Alexander. He has, won recognition for the man ner in which he has conducted his eases and for the thoroughness in which he made preparation. Fitted time and time again against older at torneys, the dread of young practition- CTS, he has been able at all times to take care of his end of the legal fight
 In the recent water rate hearing. he won distinction for the manner in which he conducted the case on behalf of the city of Pine Bluff.
 This is an intricate case, involving many details and presenting problems which would tax the mind of any at torney, no. matter how well he might be versed in the law and it's technique. It was great personal triumph for the young Pine Bluffian when Stand ing Master Durand Whipple took oc- casion to highly compliment him for the ability he had displayed. Such compliments coming from those who sit on trial in cases, are rare indeed, and the recipient of such may well count himself out of the ordinary rank and file of practicing attorneys.
 Mir. Alexander is a young man of pleasing pe lality, the kind who

To the Democratic voters of the ~-,s-. Eleventh. Judicial District:
 You have doubtless noticed that I have made no canvass and indulged in no personal solicitation for votes in support of my candidacy for re-elec- tion as judge of this district. There were several reasons for this course:
 First-That since the, 18th of Jan uary my time has been fully occupied in holding the courts at the times and places fixed by law.
 Second-I do not believe that an of ficer should neglect his duties and take the time for which he is paid by the people to serve his own political or personal interests.
 Third-Much the greater part of my life has been lived in this district and l have served you for the Hast fifteen years as circuit judge. You know my character, reputation and the record have made in office. If this character is beyond reproach, reputation is good

In spite of the greatest personal care and the most intelligent attention to diet, babies and children will be- come constipated, and it is fact that constipation and indigestion have wrecked many a young life. To start with good digestive apparatus is to start life without handicap.
 But, as we cannot all have perfect working bowels, we must do the next best thing an dacquire them, or train them to become healthy This can be done by the use of a laxative-tonic very highly recommended by great many mothers. The remedy is called pr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin and has been on the market for two genera tions. It can be bought conveniently at any drug store for fifty cents or one dollar a bottle, and those who are already convinced of it's merits buy the dollar size.
 It's mildness makes it the ideal medicine for children, and it is also very pleasant to the taste,- It is sure in. it's effect and genuinely harmless. Very little of it srequired and it's frequent use does not cause it to lose its effect, as is the case with so many other remedies.
 Thousands can testify to its merits in constipation. indigestion, bilious ness. sick headaches, etc, among them reliable people like Mrs. James R. klNqe of Marinette, Wis. Her little
