the neople as one who has proved his
ability to hanale his affairs success
fully, and Therefor, may be trusted
to efficiently discharge the duties OF
the public position he seeks.
Mr.. Caldwell is no stranger to pub
lie life; if chosen to represent the
county in the upper house of the gen
eral assembly, he will not be new"
to the job. Admitted to the bar in
1900, Mr. Caldwell quickly gained
recognition as an energetic and 10y
al worker for his clients and for all
movements intended to improve con-
ditions for the people, and in 1879
was chosen to serve as a member OF
the lower house of the general as

persuasion by friends,who urged that
with his experience in public and pri-
vate business, his sympathy with the
people and knowledge of the needs
of Arkansas and her citizens. he can
materially aid in solving the problems
confronting the state. He believes
the revenue of the state is sufficient
if iudiciously expended and few
pensioners dropped from the pay roll.
