Home PAPER NOT
FOR HUMPHREYS
Paper Published in Home Town
Does Not Indorse His Candi-
dacy Against 0ldfield

John Hall, editor of the Salem
Sun, who wss Republican nominee
for Congressman four years ago
has the following TO say in re-
cent issue of of his paper.
"Apropos to the charges against
Congressman Oldfeld, concerning
the recommendation for a Demo-
cratic postmaster at Batesville, we
want to make the bright and
happy confession, that it is none
of our business, know nothing
about it, care nothing about it
and are proud of our ignorance.
But we do know something
about Will Oldfeld. In the year
of our Lord, A. D. 1910, we op-
posed Oldfeld for Congress, or
rather followed him around and
learned good manners, and watch
ed a good man who knows how to
electioneer. In justice to our 800
democratic subscribers, we want
to say, that bigger hearted.
more generous, moral, sober hon.
est and truthful gentleman, cam
not be found in Arkansas or else
where. Our lack of education, un-
couthness, lack of training and ex-
perience in campaign work, were
charitably overlooked by our mag
unanimous opponent. He is so
democratic in manner so kind in
comradeship and so generous to
an enemy that after his opponents
the Judge from Fulton and the
Judge from Prairie, have canvass
ed the district with him, we be-
lieve that they will do like we did.
Use good judgement, and vote for
Billy Oldfield for Congress-

JUDGE LANDLORD
WON'T MAKE RACE
Finds Judicial Duties Will Not Per-
nit Him to Seek Congressional
Nomination

Judge Eugene Landlord of De-
Wallis Bluff, who had, intended to
get into the race for the Demo.
cratic nomination for Congress to
succeed Congressman Oldfield, has
decided not to make the race.
Judge Landlord says he has
found that he cannot make as
thorough a canvass as congress
sional candidate should make
without neglecting his judicial
duties and this he declines to do.
Il think an officer should first
comply with the contract he makes
with the people when they elect
him and prove faithful to his duty
in the office he has before he asks
the people for others fayors," said
Judge Landlord.

T. A. GRAY
His Platform and Contract With
The People

lh0rnberFy A GRAY Is Candl-
date for Prosecuting Attorney,and
believes in clean politics There
fore, he wishes to let the people
know what he stands for.
Hence, he positively agrees, if
elected, he will not PROSECUTE
any one, but will PROSECUTE,
and will not be blind to those who
need mercy. He further agrees,
when there has been a crime COM
mitted lin any part of the county,
that he or his deputy will go to
the township where the crime was
committed and let the nearest JUS
tice of the peace try the case, in
stead of having them summoned
or dragged through the cold, heat,
sleet and the rain to the county
seat to give some favored indiyi-
dual a fat job. And he further
contracts or agrees that if any one
having committed an offense, and
he wants to submit before a jus
tice of the peace, that he will not
claim any fee, which is the law.
He further agrees that he will
not file information in order to
satisfy the private spite of any in
dividual, who has not sufficient
faith in his cause to give the bond
required by law, and thus prose-
cute at the cost of the taxpayers,
and force the justice of the peace
and constable and juries to work
for nothing, as often is the case.
And he also covenants that he
will be a prosecuting attorney for
ALL THE PEOPLE, but will not
be tool for any set of men. Gray
has been accused of being whisk-
ey man, which is absolutely false,
as he never voted for license.
The following resolution sent to
the Arkansas Legislature will
show how he stands on the ques-
ton:
Hickory Valley, Ark. Feb, 1913
1--WE the people of Hickory Val
ley and surrounding country, in
mass meeting assembled. do pass
the following resolution;
Whereas, we believe in local
self-governmenta and a white mans
domination, and that the white
people of our state should control
the manufacture, the sale and
traffic of whiskey in Arkansas.
Therefore, we believe that SEN
ate Bill No. l18 should pass be-
cause we believe that it possesses
every requirement that local self
government by white people could
demand.
Therefore, be it moved that the
aforesaid Senate Bill be passed
and be made part of the laws of
the State of Arkansas.
This resolution was introduced
by T. A. Gray and seconded by

CORD PUBLIC SCHOOL

Editor J0urnal.-A little space
in your paper to correct certain
reports that have been current for
some time concerning our school
will be appreciated.
Our directors received complaint
that a certain pupil attending
school was over age, upon inyesti-
cation the enumeration reports
and also the teachers register
showed the pupil to be over legal
age. Directors requested pupil to
leave school or have parents make
affidavit as to age, if affidavit
showed him to be of school age he
was informed that he would be
reinstated. Parents refused to GER
tify to age and directors after wait
ing a time with patience and hav-
ing their orders ignored by pupil
attending school after notice of
suspension was served they again
stopped him
This statement is made from an
interview with directors.
We have heretofore enjoyed the
very enviable reputation of having
one Of the most harmonious school
districts in the county, never hav-
ing friction of any kind between
directors, teachers or pupils. Our
present board of directors are: I.
n. Blair, Walter McClain and J.
W. Reeves, all good citizens who
are working in perfect harmony

that finance was short.
We are informed by statistics as
well as progressive teachers that
the teaching of this grade in rural
schools is of great benefit, being
an incentive to lower grades to
aspire to the higher work. For
this one thing among others in
troduced by our present board of
directors we feel they should be
complimented. Very sincerely,

May Send Federal Troops

Washington, June 25.-In support
of Governor Stewards request for the
transfer of troops. Senator Myers of
Montana called at the White house.
He said conditions in Butte were un-
settled and further outbreaks were
likely to occur at any time. There are
no federal troops in Montana, he said,
and il the event of serious rioting it
would take too long to bring them
from Fort Vancouver for them to be
OF any service.
President Wilson took the request
under "dvisement and later took it up
with the cabinet meeting.
Butte, juno 26.-News from Wash
inston that Governor Stewart has ask
ed that federal troops be moved from
Fort Vancouver, to Fort Missoula, so
as to be within striking distance If
trouble breaks out here again between
the factions of the miners union
caused surprise here today. Such &C.
ton, however. on the part of the gov
ernor. had been expected in certain
circles, in view Of the seriousness of
the disturbances in the past two
weeks.

Would Protect Indians

Washington, June 27.-The senate
added a proviso to the appropriation
of $25O,000 for the Flathead irrigation
system requiring that before the
money can be expended an opinion
must be given the secretary of the in.
terror by the attorney general that
the right Of the Indians are fully pro.
tected by the legislation.
The proviso was adopted after a
long controversy in which it was con.
tended that the cost of irrigating land
in the project for white settlers should
not be charged against the Indians
fund. but should be by direct appro.
priation from the United States treas.
ury.
Senator Henry l.. Myers fought the
adoption of the proviso and will try
to have it stricken out in conference
committee, as he says its effect will
be to delay the continuation of work
on the project.

Conservation Measures DELAYED

Washington, June 27.-None of the
~so'called conservation measures are
expected to be enacted into law during
the present session Of congress. With
the prospects of a long summer ses.
sion the house will take up and is ex-
pected to pass the 64O-acre grazing
homestead bill, the measure proposing
to a land containing coal, oil, gas,
phosphate and other minerals, and
possibly several others. The senate
will be busy talking treaties and trust
legislation. and is not expected to take
up any of these measures during the
present session.
AS there is o or less objection to
these bills in the form in which they
are presented, many administration
members believe it good politics to go
through the coming campaign with
these bills merely through the house.
They will have opportunity to learn
just what their constituents think of
the proposed legislation in time to
urge amendments before their final
enactment.
