Mayor Charles F.. Taylor of Little Rock appeared before the convention to bid it welcome, and in this short address he spoke of the assistance the farmers might render the cities by supporting the bond amendment. The delegates immediately grasped the inn portance of the amendment to them. well knowing that the upbuilding of the cities means the improvement of the country. Delegates stated that the residents of their vicinities would support the measure unanimously fayetteville Daily.

A petition signed by 1,400 men and women in this place would carry more weight and be ten times as effective as any petition signed by a similar number of people on the outside. Liquor is the cause of 70 per cent of us being here. It is the cause of S per cent of parole violations Let us add our little weight to the temperance cause, as a seldsh precautionary measure, if for no better motive"
