NENA HEARD TWO EMINENT SPEAKERS
Hon. Smead Powell and Congress- man Otis Ningo Spoke on Nation al Issues, Defending the Demo-
 cratic Administration.

The first political meeting of the national campaign in Polk county was held in the court house Monday night. and was attended by an audi ence of men and women that filled the seating capacity of the court room. Judge ]. 1. Alley acted as chairman, and introduced the speakers, Hon. Smead Powell of Camden, and Hon. Otis Wingo, con- gressman of this district. The meeting was particularly Mr Pow els meeting, and Mr. Wingo yielded 10 the request of his friends when he made an address. Mir. poweIl's address was devoted entirely to na- tlonal affairs. and in his discussion of the administration foreign poli- ey and the domestic legislation that had been enacted, pointed out that President Wilson had had a definite plan and program, and that this program always provided for the protection of humanity and the fur therance of the interests of those who needed protection. In support of this contention MT. Powell dis cussed the Democratic tariff theory. the reserve bank law, the rural credits bill. and the policy of the ad- mlnistratiOn ln reference to the Mexican situation and the European war, showing in each case that the interest of humanity had been the first consideration. In beginning his address, Mir. Powell devoted a little attention to the woman suf- frage question for the reason that he had been misquoted on the mat ter. He assured the ladies that he had never known the good women to be wrong on any moral question, and whenever they expressed de- sire to be given the ballot, he was ready to help give it to them.
 Congressman Wingo in his ad- dress devoted most of his attention to the rural credits act explaining the details of the working of the law. and while he admitted that the act was not what he wanted and had hoped for along the line of rural credits, he considered it great victory to have the principle re- cognized and the law enacted as basis for further legislation. Mr. Wingo grew particularly earnest and eloquent when he discussed the great efforts that President Wilson had made to keep this country out of war and thus saved the lives of thousands of our fellow men and prevented the wrecking of homes and the bereavement of mothers and children. On the other hand he predicted that if MT. Hughes would be elected this country would im- mediately be plunged into war, that even now Mir. Roosevelt is going over the country fomenting this spirit. The sympathy of the audi ence was unmistakably with MT. Wingo in his plea that this country might have peace. and that the ef- forts of our people be devoted toI the development of the country, rather than to staying their broth

 Meeting Last Night. Asts

A union meeting of the EvaHgel- local churches was held on Sunday night iii iii thiie the NJ. F. Church. Snnth. the address for the occasion being de- livered by Abe Collins, prosecuting attorney of this judicial district.
 Mr. Collins discussed Act No. 2, leading up to 1t with a discussion of the history of prohibitory legisla- ton ill Arkansas for the last forty years. He showed how progress had been made slowly, and how It was only after years of local option and special legislation that conditions had ripened for the adoption of the Statewide act, which was passed by the legislature of 1915. Act No. , was taken up at length by the speaker pointing out that all the good that had been accomplished III the years gone by would De wiped out if this act is adopted. The act expressly repeals the Statewide act and the Going law, which was passed by the legislature of 1913, and then in a blanket repeating clause, every other prohibltory law is wiped from the statute books. Mr. Collins urged particularly that here is a time that will test the individual responsibility of the voter. and he assured his hearers that from all all sources comes the information that the state had never prospered as it has since the Statewide prohib- itorv law has been in effect. and ev- erywhere court officials are report inc that crime is decreaslng
 The ministers who had a part i'll the union services were the Rev. l.. A. Park. the Rev. w. l.. Smith. the Rev. J. E. Sims and Dr. L. w. B.. Long.
