D07YS CELEBRATE
 GOLDEN WEDDING

At their home, one mile north of Conway, yesterday MT. and Mrs. Mil ton Doty, pioneers of Faulkner coun- ty, celebrated the golden anniversary of their marriage, which occurred February P, 1866 About 20 invited guests were present at a sumptuous dining and two of the three children of the couple were present, E. M. Doty and family of Pine Bluff and Miss Sadie Doty, who makes her home with her parents. Another son, Eugene Doty of Rankin, Okla., was unable to be present.
 MT. Doty is native of Ohio and was born September 10, 1889. He en- listed during the civil war in Co. A of the Eleventh Iowa regiment, Unit ed States army, and saw three years of hard service. Mrs. Doty, who was Miss Margaret Owens, was born at Huntsville, Ala, September 15, 1844, and came with her parents when a young girl to Little Rock. It was there that the couple were married 50 years ago. They lived in Illinois for four years, returned to Little Rock for one year, and then moved to their present location, where MT. Doty homesteaded 160 acres of land and has made their home ever since.

SPRINGS SURPRISE
 IN COUNTY POLITICS
W. H. DUNCAN ANNOUNCES
AS CANDIDATE FOR CIRCUIT CLERK-CITY POLITICAL
 NOTES
From Thursday's Daily.

From Thursday's Daily.
 Former County Judge W. H. Dun can sprang a surprise in county po- litical circles today by announcing his candidacy for circuit clerk, to succeed A. Nj. Ledbetter, who is a candidate to succeed himself in that position. While several have been mentioned as possible opponents of MT. Ledbetter, it was not known that Judge Duncan intended to make the race. He says, however, this has been his intention for some time, but that he did not de- sire to enter upon long and expen- sive campaign.
 The county candidates are nearly all busily engaged in their canvasses and the political pot, which has been unusually quiet, is at last beginning to stir. With the state and county races before them, the indications are that record-breaking vote will be cast on March 29.
 Interest in municipal politics, which has been very dormant, is beginning to pick up slightly. The development of today was the announcement by J. C. Dawson that he had recOnsidered his former determination not to run for mayor and decided to become a candidate. MT. Dawson issued the following card today:
 "To the Voters of Conway:
 "Since my announcement several days ago that I would not accept the position of mayor of Conway have been solicited to accept by so many citizens of the city that I feel it my duty to offer myself as candidate. And in so doing want to assure ev- cry one that if elected my admins tration will be both progressive and efficient. J. c. Dawson"
 Dr. J. z. Bailey and w. D. Bryant of the Third ward are the only can- didates who have qualified for alder men by paying their fees to the com mittee treasurer. J. L. McNeese and J. R. Piercey have both paid their fees as candidates for marshal.
 The following municipal slate was handed to the Log Cabin Demo- crat for publication today:
 For mayor, Moore Harton; record CT, George Shaw, Jr.; treasurer, Jesse Lincoln; aldermen, First ward Fletcher Smith and Charles Deal Second ward, R. T. Cole and Clyde Donnell; Third ward, Dr. J. z. Bailey and Martin Downing. This ticket is composed exclusively of young men.

From Saturdays DaiIq.
 Judge E. M. Merriman, one of the pioneers of Faulkner county, who was the second mayor of Conway and afterwards served as county judge, today announced that he would be a candidate again for mayor, subject to the Democratic primary of March z. Judge Merriman says he has had 40 years of rest from the duties of this position, and that if elected he will not ask for the office for 40 years more. His announcement card fol- lows:
 After 40 years rest from the arduous duties of mayor of the in- corporated town of Conway Gin 1876), desire to celebrate the anni- versary by being again honored with the office of mayor of the city of Con- way, and hereby authorize you to an- nounce my name as an aspirant for said position
 'If elected to said trust, I pledge my every effort to strictly and im- partially enforce the law and ordi- nances of the city, administering equal rights to all and special privi- leges to none; to secure for our citi- zens a clean, sanitary and moral city; to require a regular and strict ac- counting of all officers entrusted with public funds; to promote better condition of our unpaved streets, sidewalks and crossings; to sound the slogan, Conway a City of the First Class (5,O00 in 1918).'
 eff this office should be given to me I promise to wait 40 years before asking for it again.
 "E. M. Merriman."

RACE FOR ALL OFFICES
FULL SET OF ALDERMANIC CANDIDATES FILED WITH

From Tuesdays Daily

From Tuesdays Daily
 The announcement today that State Game Warden w. E.. Clibourn of Conway would enter the race for sheriff furnishes race for every county office, with the possible ex. ception of surveyor and coroner, for which no announcements have as yet been made. Sheriff w. w. Bishop who is seeking a second term, was the last of the county officers to have an opponent, Judge w. H. Duncan having announced few days ago in opposition to Circuit Clerk A. M Ledbetter, who is a candidate for re- election.
 l. G. Williams and E. L. Smith are in the race for county judge and w B. Hines stated several days ago that he expected to run for this position, but he has not yet made formal an nouncement County Surveyor B. G Wilson has been mentioned as a pos sible candidate for the same office frequently during the past few days Mr. Wilson said today that while he had had much solicitation and had given the matter serious considera- tion, it was not probable that he would enter the race.
 For representative, it seems that the race will be confined to Dr. H. B Hardy of Mathews township and Judge P. H. Prince and c. c. Jones of Conway. County Treasurer J. R Giddens is being opposed for re-elec- tion by John Lindsey of Conway and T. J. Hogan of Cato.
 For assessor Austin Johnson is seeking a second term and George T. Fiddler stated sometime ago that he would also run for this place. For county clerk J. A. Lea is running for reelection and is opposed by Prof. J. M. c. Vaughter, John Reeves and Roy Rogers of Conway.
 A full set of aldermanic candidates in all three of the wards was filed with the committee treasurer, V. D. Hill, yesterday afternoon. This tick ct is composed of the following: First ward, Wm. J. Drummer and Frank E. Robins; Second ward, J. w. James and Opie Hartje; Third ward, J. A. Pence and Prof. w. o. Wilson. The name of w. w. Westmoreland as a candidate for alderman of the First ward was also filed yesterday.

 CLERK.
 Through the Log Cabin Democrat today A. M.

In making his announcement MT. Ledbetter says he does not wish to make a plea for second term ano does not wish to urge any demerits of an opponent, but seeks the office on his record and his own merits as an official He declares that he has always been a true friend of the peo pie, giving everyone square deal An instance of how his activity has benefited his constituents was seer last year, when through his persistent efforts alone, the United States reve nue department was convinced that the stamp tax of 25 cents on mort gages was not required under the law. This, it is estimated, has saved and will save the people of Faulkner county at least $1 1000 year and the people of the state probably $10O,OO( year as long as the revenue law k in effect. MT. Ledbetter is an eff cient, careful officer, whose records and books are always in good condi ton. He is business-like and cour teous to those having business with his office and has many friends who hope to see him renominated.
