 Influence in Behalf of Smith.

lUllucuCc III DeUdll Ot SUlvus Little Rock, Jan. 11.--Arkansas poi- iticians who are interested ln the organization of the genezsal assembly,
 spent a most anxious day Sunday, the ; Lundy supporters being alert to pre- vent break in their line, and the Smith managers leaving nothing un- turned to bring over one man in or der to elect their candidate president of the senate. It was reported on all sides that money was being freely of~ fered, and the favorite yarn was that grip containing $3,000 was convent ently placed, to be handed the Lundy supporter who would renounce his
 pledge, and go to the other side
 When tho L,indy caucus closed at midnight Saturday, the Smith men began to work on the Lundy sup porters whom they thought might he changed. They centered their fire on Edgar V. Overman of Dallas county, whom they had expected to line up with the Smith contingent. One man was requested to accompany promi- nent Arkansan to the office of a leao- ing firm of Little Rock attorneys, and accepted the invitation. He found the room well filled with politicians of note, and it is reported that Governor G. w. Hays was among them. Up to this time Gov. Hays had not appeared openly in the contest. One present is authority for the statement that after Gov. Hays and others had lab Ored with Senator Cverman that he informed them he knew about as much about his business as they and departed s

 ROSPERITY
THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH.

The laurels of William Jennings Bryan as "the great American com- moner" are in danger, and WoodfoW Wilson is the man wno may wear them. Samuel G. Blythe says Ill the Saturday Evening Post that Wllso'i } passion is the people-the real people. His Indianapolis speech on Saint .ackscns day tends strongly to sup port what Blythe says. It was the speech of commoner to common people. There was not g. highbrow phrase in it, although the speaker has been a college president and d great historian. There was no tend- ency to take refuge in phrases of murky meaning. The president talked plain United States" and it was i'm possible to misunderstood or to twist his meaning because of ambiguity or pnraseoiogy.
 Before Woodrow Wilson gNts back from ms trip to the Pacific coast Il. may have developed into a whale Of stump speaker, if his Indianapolis effort is fair sample of his ability A few speeches like that will place him in closer touch with the plain people than he has ever been before, for it is the kind of speech that reaches mems understanding and wins their hearts.
 The presidents Mexican policy has been described as spineless and wishy-washy by his political oppon- ents. and even some of his friends have not been entirely satisfied with his vigor, but from the presidents standpoint 1t does not lack force. He declares that under Diaz so per cent. of the Mexican people never had d look-in in picking their presidents and determining what kind of govern ment they should have.
 ''Now, am for the so per cent" he declares, showing where his sympa- thies stand. "It is none of my busi- ness and it is none of your business how they go about their business Their country is theirs. Their lib- erty. if they can get it--and God speed them in getting it--is theirs And, so far as my influence goes, while am president, nobody shall in- terfere with them."
 That is not the utterance of d Spineless man. It has ring liKp Old Hickory himself It sounds as if the man who said it meant every word he said. Even Theodore Roosevelt in his hell-raisingest mood could not have put into language a snappiel sentiment asserts the Beaumon. Enterprise. It is the language of a fighter-not the language of a he'll raiser but of real sure-enough fight ing man.
 The pardgraphers will have little fun with the presidents statement that there is nothing the matter with business but state of mind, but the rest of Us will take no little comfort out of the presidents view of busi- ness conditions. for it comes from the one man in the country who has at his command the widest means O; knowledge, and he is no windjammer but a man who says what he means and no more and no less

One of the pitiful things about legislatures is that every member seemingly is interested in the num- ber of good jobs to be handed out. Even an ordinary doorkeeper takes on the dignity of a professor of litera- ture when our solons meet.
