GUBERNATORIAL TIMBER

As predicted many months ago, J.. w. Crockett, who retired as State Treasurer two weeks ago, has receiv- ed Federal appointment, indicating that he is now out of the race for Governor in the primary of 1916. This does not simplify the matter however, for where one goes out, two may be expected to come in, for those who were strongly urging MT. Crockett to make the race will now turn to one of two prominent citizens of Eastern Arkansas, J. Marion Futrell of Para gould; and Thaddeus A. Carraway of Jonesboro. Either would make a can didate that would be hard to beat.
 Practically every visitor to the Ark ansas Senate asks to have Senator F'utrell pointed out to them, and when they meet him, they begin insisting that he make the race for governor. Senator Futrell is not the kind to take kindly to campaign over the entire state, and as he is doing remarkably well practicing law, he scoffs at the idea of his being a candidate. Few expect him to yield to persuasion, but if he should, Congressman Carraway will be among his supporters, other wise he may be counted among the candidates. In this case there would be two former Congressmen in the running, for J. c. Floyd of Yellville is considered certain candidate.
 Other certain candidates are Earle w. Hodges, Dr. C. H. Brough, and George w. Hays, making it a five pointed star, with four of the candi- dates residing or claiming their home to be in the Northern part of the state, with one from the south. If the one from the southern part can hold it solid against the divided north together with the prestige the pos session of the office gives him, there can be but one result. When the real running comes, political prognostica- tors of the Capital can see but three in the running, but it would be an unhappy task to pick the three at the present time and stand unprotected before the wrath of those who were left at the post in the picking.

THE SUNDAY SHOWS

The fate of the Sunday Base Ball olii Killed the Sunday motion picture snow bill before it was introduced.
 The moving picture show bill was intended to permit the houses in the larger cities to operate on Sunday af- ternoon, and the Sunday base ball bill was used as an opening wedge. it be- Ing supposed to be the most popular measure. But it failed to make tie opening.
 The action of the Senate on the Sun day base ball bill cannot be classed as failure, even though indefinate post ponement is second in the way of sud den death, only to tabling, which is legislative heart disease. The Sun day base ball bill was buffer to se- cure delay on the statewide prohibit ton bill introduced by Senator White. 1t was recognized as such by the pro lhibltlonsts, who were anxious to strike While the iron was hot. For this req son they voted the indefnately post pone. On a vote upon the merits of the bill, Sunday base ball would in all probability have lost, but it would have been on a vote of IS to IT, instead of 20 to 13, the vote by which the bill was indefinitely postponed.
 The advocates of Sunday base ball 
 for the cities of Arkansas have not ceased to work, however, and will make a trial in the House this or next week. The bill may be slightly chang ed to leave the matter to the white adults of cities of 10000, instead of to he qualified electors, as provided in the original bill.

OBITUARY

The death angel visited the home of our Brother and Sister L. H. Mitchell and took from them their little darling Clarice. Her little voice is still, and vacant place in the home can never be filled. She was sick only a short while and died on the ninth of January. She would have been three years old had she lived until her next birthday. Little Clarice was an af- fectionate child and loved by all who knew her but God saw fit to take her so let us live better life and meet her where there will be no good bye Papa, good bye Mama; all will be peace and love. Sleep on little Clarice and take your rest. Papa and Mama and loved ones will try to meet you in the Sweet land of the blest. May God fill the vacancy of that home and con- fort them in their lonely hours, Is the prayer of her Aunt.

 Let every woman who wants to see this country delivered from the liquor traffic either come or send her name, and become an active worker.
 It is going to take some hard work yet to clean out this evil thing. Does not every woman want to have a part in it?
 Surely she does, for it is her citidel that is threatened with destruction, and like Esther, she should move to action when her own loved ones are at stake.-Secretary.

 "Thirty-nine years old today!" she unused. And then the bell rang.

 Two minutes later she was in her boudoir again, sobbing as if her heart would break.
 Was the rapture too much for her 7?
 Was it a case of too much sudden joy?

battle will be played here today as n
part of the state fair athletic program
between the football teams of the

Football critics say there will be a
sharp contrast in the playing of the
two teams a the Indians have scored
several victories during the season by
the open playing, while the Texas Az

their line work The Indians point to
their game with Notre Dame as the
criterion by which their football
should be judged.

tests are attracting much attention

OKLAHOMA DEFEATED BAKER.
Open Play of the Aggies Was Too
Much for Baldwin Eleven.

Saltwater, Okla, Oct 3O.-The Ok
Iahoma Aggies had little trouble in
defeating the Baker university team
of Baldwin, Kan, here Friday after
noon by the overwhelming score of
80 to Z. The open play of the Aggies
was too much for the Kansans.
Although the Baker team out
weighed their opponents by several
pounds to the man, the results of the
game were never in doubt and it was
the home team from the start of the
game.
The only touchdown made by the
Kansans was in the first quarter when
a Baker player intercepted a forward
pass and raced nearly so yards for
touchdown. The Aggies made four
touchdowns, kicked three goals and
made one field goal.

one of four attempts.
Bethany overcame the beef of the
Normals by playing a fast and con-
sistent game, relying upon straight
football while the Teachers depended
upon the forward pass entirely. Beth
any scored all touchdowns from line
smashes, while Peterson, for the Nor
mails, made four touchdowns from for
