POLITICAL NOTES
FROM LITTLE ROCK

Little Rock, Sept. 2s-Politics Is
beginning to take its accustomed
biennial stride. Efforts 10 vivifY il
during the summer were for the
most part futile, as the people were
anxious for little rest. But now
that the primaries are being set, and
county politics are furnishing an in
oeutive, more attention is beng
given to state politics.
Webster defines politics as "the
science and art Of government, -
but in Arkansas il is more literally
defined as the art of seeing who
can run the fastest for an Office.
The discussion of great state issues
is not so much IN order as the per.
sonal disqualifcations of ones op
ponents for office. This abserva-
tion, however, will be recognized
by all, however, as purely academic,
and as one that can have no Influ-
ence whatever on the situation.
The primaries are being called,
and large number of the counties
will ignore the uniform date for the
county election. Phillips opens
with the earliest, then comes Chi
cot county on Nov. II. The Pu-
laski county candidates will hold
their contest on Jan. u, and there
is already a large held of starters
iockeying for position. There Is
less "new blood" in the running
than there has been in many years,
and there is scarcely an old officer
who Is not seeking another term
or some other office. Indications
are that a number Of other counties
are preparing to call early prima.

The line up for the state Offices
Is assuming shape, and it is believed
that the next few weeks will see all
the lists complete.

race for governor for more than a
month. There are still SIX oand d
