"Whatever We Want Is All
Right With Them Report
to Hotel Men
sTHERE'S NOTHING DOING
AGAINST US AT PRESENT"
However, Spectre of Statewide
Prohibition Rises to Perturb
One Delegate

Il. G. Puffer, OF Flint, was elected
president, W. j. Hodges, or halama-
zoo, vice-president; l.. >. Garrison,
Albion, secretary, and Charles IL.
Clements, OF the Hotel Metropolis, De
troit, treasurer, in the morning SEES
sion OF the second day of the annual
convention OF the Michigan Hotei
Mems association, in the Hotel Pont-
chartrain, Tuesday.
w. l.. McMdnus, of Petoskey, chalr-
man OF the legislative committee, hau
considerable confidential information
TO impart to the state hotel men, In
forming them, when called upon by
delegates TO tell OF the work done
by his committee that whatever we
want is all right with the labor com
missioner and the encouragement,
j. V. Cunningham Is labor commits
sioner, and Grant Fellows is attorney
general
IL don't want this repeated outside
this room" said Mr.. McManus, but
I've had a talk with the labor COM
missioner-you know that's where
they would strike us first-and he said
there was nothing doing against as
at the present time. Then ! talked
with the attorney-general-no ! don't
want this repeated outside this room
and whatever we want is all right
with him"
This announcement was greeted
with cheers. Then someone threw
some cold water on Mr., McManus.
what about the prohibition ques-
tion?' he yelled
Mr.. McManus looked confused, then
collected himself, and said: Why,
there isn't chance Of any movement
for statewide prohibition being put
across this time, am certain that.
in view OF state conditions, there isn't
anyone in the legislature who'll even
think II worth while to try it."
"Yah! Maybe you think go snarled
the man in the audience, whose iden-
tity was not then revealed.
Then Henry j. Bohn, of the Chicago
Hotel World, was given the privilege
of the floor and his remarks suggest
ed another line for the adept snarler.
Mr. Bohn declared that the hotel
men, as class, were prone to des-
cend upon legislative bodies who
threatened their business at the last
hour, expecting, as he prt II ito go
down at 1880 and get home not later
than 4:30." He suggested commit
tee to report every bill affecting hotel
men Immediately upon its introduc-
ton.
Then the snarler came 10 bat. He
proved himself no less personage than
Landlord Kerns, Of Lansing. He sus,

Just as surely as calomel does. But,
unlike calomel, Dodson Liver Tone
does not stimulate the liver too much.

so strongly that it may leave you

JUST YOU.

III JUST YOU.
81 NV love- the world is rose-wreathed,
Since my love has found your shrine,
All mankind stronger, sweeter,
Since your lips were pressed to
mine.
The heart forsakes the depths of
gloom,
vat And climbs to starry height,
Within the radiance of Gods throne.
Since you became my light.
The grass, the flowers, the birds, the
trees,
Have become world aaprt,
Where the brilliant rays of Hope un-
fold,
Since the sunlight found my heart.
From out the mystic vale of dreams,
This world of love so true,
This fairy morn has dawned for me
Since life became-just you.

CLAIMS NOMINEE
 IS NOT ELIGIBLE
RACE ON IN WHITE COUNTY
DEFEATED CANDIDATE FOR COUNTY JUDGE IS OUT FOR
 REPRESENTATIVE.

Searcy, April 27.-Asserting that R. E. Miller, one of the nominees for representative of White county, is in eligible to fill the position, J. A. Choate. defeated candidate for county judge of that county, has announced that he will make an independent race for representative against Miller. Choate claims that Miller has not been resident of the county for the time prescribed in the constitution and that he is now a resident of Little Rock. He also charges that Miller received financial support in his cam paign from the liquor interests. His announcement in part, is as follows:
 'ln making my announcement for this office, ] feel that it is my solemn duty to set forth the reasons why l have entered this race
 First. MT R. E. Miller, one of the nominees for this office, l have been informed, admitted that he accepted his campaign expenses from the hands of the liquor element and l have a complete written statement from one MT. Clay Fulks of Hammonsville that he told him (Clay Fulks) that said SASiiShe Nfio paying HIS tApeIlSSS ana that they had given him $100 to de- fray said expenses. Also when Mr. Miller was asked about this matter by one MT. J. F. Stracener of Romance, Stracener told me that Miller said, If Q person did not do but two or three crooked things to get elected it was all right. He also informed MT. Fulks that the whiskey element would pay his campaign expenses to run for the legislature
 Second. MT. Miller is not eligible under the constitution of the state of Arkansas to hold said office Article ), See. 4, provides that no person can be representative unless he has been resident of the county from which he IS elected one year next proceeding his election. and Mr. Miller will not have resided in White county one year by the next general election, so if a Republican CT Socialist should make the race against him, he could not hold the office if it should be con- tested and the Republican or Social jst receiving the highest number of votes would be seated.
 Il think that when any one is elect ed by the people, he should reside in the county that elects him and should go to the legislature with his hands tied to no faction or element Mr Miller was at the time of his nomina- tion resident of Little Rock, and I think will continue the same up to and after the general election, as ne now holds good paying position in that city.
 "The facts about MT. Miller were not known by me before the primary, for should they have been, l would certainly have disclosed them so the people could have had time to have chosen some one else in his stead

FAVORABLE MENTION
 FOR LITTlE'S CATTLE

The sale of 100 fat steers by J. E. Little of Conway last week attracted considerable attention on the St Louis market, as is evidenced by the following clipping from the National Live Stockman:
 Arkansas steers featured the trade in the quarantine division today. J. E. Little of Faulkner county, that state, marketed four loads of steers of his own feeding that topped the quarantine market at $7.60. This price is a new record for Arkansas fed steers for the month of April and is within dime of the highest price ever paid for steers from that state, in addition to being a new 1914 rec ord. Quite nice string of records to take home. MT Littles consignment included 99 steers, averaging 1036 pounds and they were purchased by the Independent Packing Go. He is deserving of much praise for turning out such cattle and the St. Louis mar ket would like to see a good deal more like them during the course of the year"
