FROM SOL T. HAN AGAIN
Has Something Else To Say About Not Being
Permitted To Vote In The Primary.

Editor Record.-While we are
more than twice twenty-one, we
were not old enough to vote in the
last primary election, but will say
in the beginning Of this letter that
we hold no animosity toward any
one, as we feel that all did the best
they knew how under existing cir
cumstances. AT least they should
have done so, as every good citizen
should be endowed with honesty,
honor and integrity, but we are
frank to say we have more conf
dence in some peoples honor and
honesty than in their ability to un :
derstand the election law. Hence,
we should try to select officers who
we believe can read with an under
standing.
None but known democrats or
those who are in sympathy with
the democratic party" shall be al
lowed to vote In the primary. Now,
should we take the first part and
stop there, or should we consider
the whole phraseY When we 90 to
the polls and pledge ourself to sup
port the ticket clear through, Is this
not sufficient proof that we are in
sympathy with the party' If not
then we will forever be debarred
II not, the growth Of the democratic
party will necessarily have to come
from the youth Of the land and the
next born,
Now examine US and see what
we believe, We believe the people
should rule by a majority vote. We
believe In equal rights to all and
special privileges to none. We be.
lieve In revenue just sufficient tc
run the government, We believe
In high farm labor, high farm prod
ucts and cheap money We bitter
ly oppose all machine politics, rings
eliques, etc,
Now, back to the subject again
Sharp County record., 1914-04-10

We agreed to comply with the rules
and regulations of the primary and
was refused a vote. If just two
not three--of our neiehbors will
come to us and say that our word
has ever been in dispute, either
public or private, we will Ee ready
to move, as this is not the kind of
reputation we have endeavored to
build, and we think there are no
people that can judge man better
than his neiehbors,
Just suppose we had gone to the
pastor of a church and told him we
had decided to join his church; that
we had decided to be better man
and was willing to conform to the
rules and regulations of his church,
Do you suppose he would have re-
fused to take us in because we had
failed to make a confession of faith
to the big high priest when he was
around last yearY Do you believe
he would have used this areumentY
Certainly not He would have
taken US by the hand, led US into
the flock, and offered US every en-
couragement to feel at home We
do not belong to any church, but
this Is our opinion Of christianity,
We will say In conclusion that
when you have taken the time to
examine US and you find us un-
worthy, we will bow submiSsively
to disfranchisement, and If permit
ted will hand out two nice favors
for the one shortage handed US In
the last primary

lous consideration, however, that
their certificate makes Poinsett
county poll 500 more votes than it
has voters. We submit the propo-
sition that Poinsett had a very fair
turnout at the primary!
Those who have paid attention
il past years know something about
the record of Eastern Arkansas pol
itics and politicians. Everybody
by this time has some knowledge
of an Eastern Arkansas election.
1t seems about time that other Sec
tions of the state make protest
against that section naming officers
at the last moment. The stencil
that comes from Eastern Arkansas
at every election time is suspicious
ly strong. 1t ought to be abated,
some way. .
Judge Kirby declares that he
would have had a majority Of at
least $4,000 over Senator Clarke
but for the interference of President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan, who,
he charges, exerted influence
against him. There can be no
doubt that the commentator given
him by the national administration
made thousands of votes for Sena-
tor Clarke. The fact is, that was
about the only trump card the SEN
ator and his friends held, and they
worked that till the sun went down
on election day. &.
But we have an idea that Judge
Kirby lost whole lot of votes
from another cause 1t is remem-
bered that before Senator Clarke
returned to the state to begin his
campaign Judge Kirby was loud in
his challenges for a joint debate,
but when his opponent arrived on
the ground and announced ready
for battle Judge Kirby flatly re-
fused to meet him. The excuse he
rendered for not doing so was next
to frivolous. That action must
have crippled Judge Kirby's candi-
dacy. Just why he should have
pursued that course is yet a mys-
terry to those that have not been in
itiated into the inner truths of the
campaign. Senator Clarke holds
no edge on Judge Kirby as public
debater. Besides that Judge Kirby
had some goods" on Senator
Clarke and his record that he ought
to have used on him face to face.
If Senator Clarke has been re-
nominated by 2l1 votes he cannot
consider that very flatterine en-
dorsement of his senatorial SER
vices. He ought to interest him
sell now in proving to those who
believe in honest elections that he
is the nominee even by that scant
majority.
Sharp County record., 1914-04-10
THE SENATOR'S RACE

q According to the final figures
Senator James P. Clarke won his
race for reelection to the United
States senate over Judge W. F.
Kirby by the small majority of 211
votes. However, Judge Kirby and
his friends deny the correctness
of the face of the returns, and will
bring contest before the state
central committee, which, of course,
will not end there, but will reach to
the state convention, which meets
in Pine Bluff next June.
Contest proceedings are deplor-
able. They create factions, and
engender strife and malice within
THE party. They bring the party
and party methods into disrepute
before the people, and cause num-
bers of voters to lose confidence in
the integrity Of our primary elec-
tions. Besides all this, it has been
observed by most everybody that
contests seldom yield good results
tc those who bring them.
Still, if Judge Kirby won the
nomination for United States sena-
stor he ought to have it. More than
that, every man in the state ought
to lay down every bit of partisan
feeling he may have had in the
race before the primaries and join
in the demand that the matter be
gone into in the spirit of fair play
and that all crookedness, wherever
found, be laid before the public if
possible. There is too much smoke
in this state about crooked elec-
tions. There must be some fire
somewhere. This paper trusts that
if Judge Kirby has been "chiseled"
out of enough votes to deprive him
of the nomination on the face of
the returns that he will be able to-
make that fact unmistakably plain
Ito the people of the state.
Judge Kirby complains especially
Sof the returns from Poinsett coun-
Tty. That county was carried by
Senator Clarke, and rather early re-
ported handsome majority for
him. This majority stood as first
announced until it developed that
Judge Kirby was the leader in the
race, whereupon Poinsett, very OBJ
llieinely, reported a much larger
majority for Senator Clarke. If
you accept the first vote announced
from Poinsett county Judge Kirby
Is the nominee for senator. The
last announcement gives the nomi-
nation to Senator Clarke. Where
Senator Clarke has the advantage
In the matter is that the chairman
and secretary Of the county con-
vention held in Poinsett county
have certified that the last vote is
correct. 1t is a fact worthy of SER

Judge Scully says he was robbed of

An Associated Press dispatch from
Paris states that the microbe caus-

and shrapnel wounds has been dis
covered by DR.. Hunter w. Sarlett,
who was graduated from the Uni
yersity of Pennsylvania Medical
School i n 1911, and Georges Des

Service. After considerable re-
search a single bacillus was discov-

now being prepared in the Pasteur
Institute. The discovery is of world
wide Importance, and it is believed
that the serum. injected into pat
tents on the battle field in the early
stages of infection, will obviate am
