ment for the appointment. He at once started a fight on Oldfeld. Later he thought he saw an op- portunity to compromise and get the appointment.
 Trevathan filed various charg- es against Sam Deener whom Oldfeld had recommended for the Batesville postmastership, hoping thereby to prevent his ap- pointment. He then made a pro- position to Oldfeld's friends that if Oldfeld would drop the fight and permit his (Trevathan's) ap- pointment he would make no further fight on Oldield. This proposition was made to Asa Pel- ley and J. s. Griffin of Sulphur Rock and A. M. Edgar of New port, and Trevathan asked them to write to 0ldfeld and request him to agree to it.
 The proposition was not accept ed, so Trevathan continued the fight on Oldfeld.
 All the things he charges against Oldfeld's private char acter except the charge that he was drunk at Portia and Black Roek) had transpired previous to the time Trevathan made the proposition, and if they were true he knew of them at that time. BUT FOR PIE he was willing to drop his fight on Old6eld whom he now says is a very dirty and disreputable character.
 The voters will draw their own conclusion.
The Newark journal., 1914-03-23

The following editorial is clip ped from the last issue of Bryan's Commoner, and is a fair indica- tion of what Bryan thinks of Congressman Oldfeld's vote on the Alaskan railroad bill: The government will build a line of railroad in Alaska largely because the people have outgroWn the idea that it is good policy to per init private capital to do what they can do better themselves. In the sixties the government built the Pacific railroads and then turned them, along with millions of acres of land, to private own ership. It will keep the one in Alaska, after it has built it, and will also reap the profits from the increased value of lands along the line that it was once thought was necessary to give away in order to get a road built. .

If Judge Kirby is elected Unit ed States senator to succeed Clarke, who is going to bear the expense of holding special cleo tion to elect a supreme court judge to fill Judge Kirby's place? Supreme court judges are elected
 for six year terms, and Judge Kirby has four years to serve be- fore his present term expires. It costs the state about $60, 900 to hold a special election. In other words, if we swap Clarke for Kirby we must pay $60, GOO boot. Is it worth the money?

Oldfeld's record in Congress and as private citizen is one of which his friends and supporters are proud, and by his return to that august body he will be in 8 a position to give the people even better representation than in the past, by reason of past experience in the halls of Congress. .- Calico Rock Progress.

The Sharp County Records grouch has broken out again in most yirulent form, with an at tack on Congressman Oldfeld.
 The Records grouch has become so chronic that 1t is considered a joke among the newspaper men,
 who recognize the fact that if it's grouch didn't break out" at regular intervals the Record mans condition would become alarming. The Record usually raves and paws the air like a zebra dying of hydrophobia, dur ing these breaking out spells, but it is really harmless and no one pays any serious attention to

 Bro. Wood of the Marianna Courier. who is a candidate for railroad commissioner, is making an awful lot of noise in his op- position to Raney.

0LDFIELD SAYS
 TREVATHAN LIED
Continued from page D

kCOHllnueQ IfOI1 page U Democratic administration. I stated in my article in The Newark Journal that there was no telling what the editor of the Guard would say or what sort of charges he would make against me in his paper between now and the primary, and 1t seems that my predictions have come true.
 Of course everybody acquaint- ed with the facts know that Trevathan is sore because 1 would not recommend him for the post mastership at Batesville. But l am confident that every one who has read the infamous attacks Tre1 athan has made on me recen- tly through his paper feels sure that he could not make a decent postmaster, or any other kind of an officer.
 I am daily becoming more con vinced that 1 was right when l refused to recommend him for the postmastership at Batesville, and shall never recommend him for any sort of position.
 Mir. Trevathan should give the names of the persons giving him this information, because doubt if there is single individual in the entire district who would be- lieve any statement from him which was uncorroborated. 1t is very remarkable that Mir. Treva- than makes these outrageous statemento about me without giving his authority. But of course the reason he gives no authority is because he has none, therefore the reason he gives no authority is very apparent.
 In conclusion, 1 desire to say that his statements are all untrue and 1 hope no person will be mis- .lad.hy .hasne s... ...,.. .... :. .,. ... :.

WHERE CHARACTER
 COUNTS BOTH WAYS

w. A. Oldfeld has the strength of two characters to help him in his race.
 The one is. the noble character he has displayed since he has been in congress. The other is the character of the men who are so bitterly opposing his re election.
 J. L. BROWN.
The Newark journal., 1914-03-23

The Batesville Guard professes to be a great admirer of President Wilson and his administration, yet the Guard loses no opportun- ity to knock on Congressman Oldfeld for voting for a measure which Wilson asked for and which the national platform en- dorsed. There's consistency for you.
The Newark journal., 1914-03-23

There was never national ad ministration more popular than the present one, and there can not be found in the entire state of Arkansas a Democrat who will not throw up his hat and whoop for Wilson. He will give up his shoes and socks too for William J. Bryan, antss sHsssassf"WNiilsosa and Bryan espouse the cause of a can didate the people are willing to take their verdict. They give Congressman Bill Oldfield their endorsement and praise him for the good work he has done in Congress. Remember this and do not ae misled by the men with a grouch who are knocking on Oldtield.
