CANDIDATE SAYS FPJENDc FEARED ELECTION OF
 ANTI" AS SPEAKER.

Little Rock, Jan. 9-Representative A: $. Bishop of Little River county. who had been making the race for speaker of the house on prohi- bltionist platform, formally withdrew from the race yesterday.
 "I have withdrawn from the race for speaker said Dr. Bishop, be cause of the fact that some of my friends believed that if I didn't get out of the race and allow them to make certain concessions, candidate might be named on the first ballot who IS not friendly to prohibition.
 They expressed such uneasiness that l released them at once and told them to vote as they thought best. but that l did not agree with them. More over, l asked them not to bind me to vote for anyone who is not staunch prohibitionist. I shall find out a man who 1 know has a record as prohi- bitionist, and will vote for him on the floor of the house when the speak ership contest comes to final issue" Dr. Bishop declined to say for whom his supporters will vote, but said it would be for one of the three candidates now in the field. These are Griffin of Pulaski, Sawyer of Gar land and Josephs of Miller, He pre- dicted that the new lineup would re- suit in deadlock on the floor of the house and that this deadlock would ultimately prove of benefit to the pro- hibitionists.
 Conferences were held by friends of both candidates for the presidency of the senate at the Hotel Marion last night At their conclusion both sides announced they will be ready for the general caucus tonight, when the or ganization of the next senate will be practically determined

30 SEEK PLACES ON
 BASKETBALL TEAM
ORANGE AND BLACK CONFI DENT OF ANOTHER CHAM
 PIONSHIP.

More than 30 candidates for posi- tions on the Hendrix College basket ball team have responded to Athletic Director w. M. Headrick's call. Daily practice rehersaIs are held on the col lege courts.
 On account of :. the inability to se- cure building in which the games may be played all games played in Conway this season will have to be played on out-of-door courts. For the past two years the games have been played on the armory court
 Coach Headrick, with the assistance of Coach w. D. Reynolds, hopes to turn out winning basketball team this year as he did last year. Since the dribble and shoot sport was intro duced at Hendrix College the black and orange aggregation has failed but once to win the state championship
 Three of last years men are back this year. They are Captain Joe Hol- mes, Bynum Giles and Albert Wilson. These men practically have their po- sitions already cinched. Others of last years squad who are again try ing for positions are William Harton, Frank McAnear, Ross Mccormack and Ed McQuistion. Jas. A. Ander- son, Jr, who was substitute on the team several years ago, and Carriger, a star on the Chelcea, Okla., High School last season, are showing up as strong contenders for positions.
 The athletic committee is endeavor- ing to arrange a heavy schedule for the basketeers, but is meeting with difficulty. Thus far only four games have been definitely arrange, two with Crossett High School, January P and 23, one with Draughon's Business Col lege, Little Rock, on January 16, and one with Arkansas College, Bates vile, January 15. The committee is trying to arrange games with the high schools at Pine Bluff, Monticello, Stuttgart, Stamps, Texarkana and Shreveport, La.
 Whether city league vii be or ganized here this year, as has been done the past two years, has not been decided. The State Normal School has begun practice antics, and it is re- ported that strong team will repre- sent that school this year. The high school also will put out good team.

One of the interesting issues that is to come up early in the session of the legislature will be proposition for the repeal of the act establishing the commission form of government for the city of Fort Smith. Petitions have been in circulation in Fort Smith, asking the general assembly to refer the question of the repeal to the people at the spring election.
