TRY IT.! SUBSTITUTE
FOR NASTY CAL0MEL
Starts your liver without making
you sick and can not
salivate.

Every druggist in town-yOur
druggist and everybody's druggist
has noticed great falling-off in the
sale of calomel. They all give the
same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone
is taking its place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone
is perfectly safe and gives better re-
suits" said prominent local drug
gist. Dodsons Liver Tone is person
ally guaranteed by every druggist
who sells it. A large bottle costs
SO cents, and if it fails to give easy
relief in every case of liver sluggish
ness and constipation, you have only
to ask for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and ad-
ults. Take a spoonful at night and
wake up feeling fine; no biliousness,
sick headache, acid stomach or con-
stipated bowels. 1t doesn't grippe or
cause in convenience all the next day
like violent calomel Take a dose
of calomel today and tomorrow you
will feel weak, sick and nauseated.
Don't lose a days work! Take Dod-
sons Liver Tone instead and feel
fine, full of vigor and ambition.

ford and John New, the latter a
negro employed in a local barber
shop.
A special to the Arkansas Ga
cite of Sunday sent from Fort
Smith, says:
"E. !. Mckinley, deputy state la
Dor commissioner, made a statement
today relative to the indictments
returned against him and more than
100 others at Paragould Friday,
charging them with election frauds.
Mr.. Mckinley asserts that the lille
gal votes that were permitted to be
cast in the recent municipal cleo
ton at Paragould resulted from the
fact that the judges and clerks who
were indicted were not furnished
with a list of those who had paid
poll tax so that they could verify
the assertions that the voters were
qualified He said the officials had
to use their own Judgment.
According to Mr.. Mckinley this
custom has been in vogue in Greene
county for years. He admits that
by such methods illegal votes might
have been cast and that in the eyes
of the law the officials are guilty,
but only of technical violation. He
believes that the closeness of the
mayoralty race decided by major
ity of two votes is responsible for
the indictments. When Mr.. McKin-
ley heard of the indictment against
him he surrendered at the sheriff's
office, but the Greene county sher-
if advised Sheriff Claude Thomp-
son bond had already been arranged
for Mr.. Mckinley, and that he
would not be required to return at
once to Paragould."

ON INDICTMENTS
(From Mondays Daily Press)

(From Mondays Daily Press)
Sixteen arrests had been made up
to the noon hour today on indict-
ments returned by the recent grand
jury in connection with the investi-
cation into the general city election
held in Paragould. One hundred
and thirty-six bills of indictment
were returned by the jury, of which
number one hundred and twenty
seven were against parties who are
charged with having voted illegal
~, and nine against. the nine judges
who conducted the election.
AS stated Saturday r. l.. Gilmore,
one of the judges in the third
ward, sought the sheriff that morn
ing and made his bond. Prof. c.
E. Richardson, judge in the Sec
ond ward, did likewise. E. I. Nc
Kinley, a judge in the first ward,
wired from Fort Smith he would
come at once, but Sheriff Grooms
sent him telegram stating his
bond had been arranged by friends
here and it was not necessary for
him to return to. Paragould imme-
diately.
Others against whom indictments
are pending and who have made
bond are Lon Tyner, judge in the
third ward; j. M, Agee, judge in

NO MORE OFFICE
FOR BRUNDIDCE
Says, However, He Is Anxious to
Wade Through Fields Of Politi-
cal Gore for Primary Bill.

Little Rock, May 10.-"I have no
intention of asking the people Of
my state for office again, but just
so long as ! live, they will ever
find me at the front fighting
against grafters, when ] see that
graft is being practiced," thus
spoke Stephen Brundidge, when
asked what steps he would take on
the submission of the primary cleo
ton bill to the people.
Judge Brundidge continued to
state that he was by no means
through with the bill, merely be-
cause it was defeated, through I'M
derhanded political methods in the
last legislature. He asserted that
he would circulate petitions and
permit the people to vote upon the
matter. The petitions will be ready
for circulation after meeting of
the committee which prepared the
bill, called for the purpose of max
Ing several minor changes. The
committee will not circulate the Pc
titions, Judge Brundidge doing that
as an individual. One change to
be made is in the time specified
for the holding of primaries, and
the others are problematical, the
committee not deeming best to dis
cuss them at this time. The Sec
ton regulating the time for the
holding of county conventions, will
remain the same.
The bill, if initiated, will stand
an excellent chance for adoption,
as the people of all sections of Ar
kansas are generally in favor of a
change which will insure them the
returns in elections will be in &C
cordance. with the votes cast. The
consolidation of elections will bring
this matter under federal control,
for it will be settled, not in the
spring primary, but in the fall cleo
ton, when congressman are elected.
While fraud might be attempted at
state election, none can be ex-
pected where Uncle Sam has jur-
isdiction, for he is too particular
about the integrity of the county
IN such occasions
Judge Brundidge expects to take
the stump in behalf of his bill,
and if it is opposed, openly or under
cover, by politicians who conspired,
according to evidence given in the
Sawyer racing bill trial, to bring
about it's defeat, Judge Brundidge
has some interesting things to say
relative to proceedings of the COM
mittee which framed the bill and
utterances made there by one of
those alleged to have worked for
the defeat of the bill in the legisla-
tur.

ANSWER FILED in
MAYORALTY CASE
w. C. Middleton Denies All Mate
rial Allegations In Complaint
Made by J. T. Hester.

Judge j. L. Light, attorney for
Mayor w. c. Middleton in the con-
test proceedings instituted by j.
T. Hester, who was defeated for
mayor by two votes in the recent
city election, this morning filed the
following answer to the allegations
contained in Hester's complaint:
Comes the defendant and for
answer to plaintiffs complains adj
mits that there was a regular cleo
ton held in the city Of Paragould,
Arkansas, on the 9Th day of April,
1915; that in said election there
were cast for the office of mayor
of said city 943 votes, and that this
plaintiff, B. H. Parrish, Sam Nc
Haney and the defendant herein
were candidates in said election for
said office: Defendant admits that
he received 377 votes for the office
of mayor, which was the greatest
number of votes cast at said cleo
ton for said office, and, that in
consideration thereof the election
commissioners Of Greene county,
Arkansas, delivered to him GER
tificate of election for the office
aforesaid. Defendant denies that
he was not legally elected to the Of
flee of mayor of the city Of Para
gould, Arkansas, for the reason
certain persons voted for him who
were not qualified electors because
they had not paid their poll taxes
for the year 1913, or because they
were not residents of said city at
the time Of the election or for any
other reason whatever, but, to the
contrary, is informed and verify
believes that of the 377 votes cast
for him in said election there were
none cast by persons except those
who were duly qualified electors.
Defendant denies that plaintiff
received 375 votes in said election,
but admits, should the returns of
the election disclose the fact, that
of said number 50 persons voted for
him who had not paid their poll
taxes for 1913; that seven persons
voted for him who were non-resi
dents of the city of Paragould, at
the time of the election, and that
six persons voted for him who were
residents of the said city at said
time, but who had not dwelt in the
same and the respective wards
thereof the length of time required
to establish their citizenship for the
purpose of participation in this
election.
Defendant, further answering,
denies plaintiff was elected to the
office of mayor of Paragould, Ar
kansas, at election held as afore-
said; that he is entitled to the pos
session of the same and that he
is wrongfully being excluded there
from; denies that, at the time
plaintiff instituted his proceeding to
GUST said defendant from said office,
that he had usurped or in any way
or manner taken charge OF the of
flee of mayor or exercising the
same or attempting to do SO.
WHEREFORE, having fully
answered in the premises, defend
ant prays the court to dismiss the
complaint of the plaintiff and for all
necessary and proper relief"

GRAND JURY nDICTS FOR
ALLEGED ILLEGAL VOTING
One Hundred and Thirty Six Bills Returned
in Connection With Ballots Cast in Re-

spent most of the forenoon classify
ing the big stack of warrants, and
familiarizing themselves with the
names and places Of abode of the
praties wanted.
1t is understood the grand jury
found that thirty-five persons vot-
ed at the first ward box without a
poll tax receipt, seventeen at the
second ward box and seventy-five at
the third ward box. This informa-
ton is not accurate, but is approx
imately so.
When questioned this morning
by a reporter for The Press several
of the judges said they endeavored
to conduct fair and honest cleo
ton and that if any illegal votes
were polled they were deposited
without their knowledge or con-
sent Nearly a score of challenges
were made in the second ward, and
judges in the other wards said they
asked nearly every voter if he had
paid his poll tax for 1913. Some of
the judges say the voting was so
heavy that four or five would come
into the voting place at one time
and it was impossible to quiz each
man offering to vote without seri-
ously delaying the conduct of the
election. a.
/ The election commissioners fail
ed to furnish the judges with
printed list of the names of those
entitled to vote, though the judges
in the second ward, after insistent
demads, were finally furnished with
a soiled copy of the, list. The judges
claim in the absence of this list
which the election commissioners
are required under the law to fur
nish, they were seriously handicapz
ped in wedding out illegal voters. ,
The. election commissioners claim
they could not furnish the printed
lists because the supply had been
exhausted. 1t is the duty of the
county clerk under the law to have
sufficient number of lists printed
to furnish the election commission
ers for use in all general elections.
Guss Powell, county clery, says he
placed an order with the printer
for eighty copies of the list, the
usual number printed, but the
printer says he misunderstood the
number wanted and printed only
thirty copies. These copies were
used in the general election last
September and November and were
lost or destroyed.
The law under which the indict-
ments were found is contained in
Section 1866 of Kirbys digest and
reads as follows:
Amy election officer who shall
fraudulently and corruptly permit
any person to vote illegally, or re-
fuse the vote of any qualified cleo
tor, cast up or make false return
of said election, or any person who
shall vote when not qualified

One hundred and twenty-seven
persons who voted in the recent
general municipal election in Para
gould, and the nine judges who held
the election in the three wards OF
this city, were yesterday indicted
by the grand jury for voting lille
gall and permitting illegal votes to
be cast. While rumors became rife
early in the week that the grand
Jury would probably investigate al
legged illegal voting in the city
election, they died out Wednesday
when it was understood the grand
jury was winding up its business
and was about to adjourn. On
Thursday, when the jury reported
to the court that it had further
business to inquire into, rumors
were revived with reference to in
sorting the probe into election mat
tiers, and yesterday afternoon about
four o'clock when the grand jury

ney and that official admitted one
hundred and thirty-six of the in
dictments were returned as a re-
suit of the election probe. He fur

twenty-seven of the bills were
against parties who voted without
having paid a poll tax in Greene
county for the year 1918, and nine
indictments were against the judges
who conducted the election.
