Big Crowds Attend the
Great Moose Carnival

Last nights crowds at the Leavitt-
Taxier Shows, United, which are con-
Quoting the Moose carnival at Fourth
and Seneca streets, gave ample testi-
mony of the popularity that the shows
have won in the first half of the week.
Captain Herbertino the chief trainer
at the animal show, was a resident of
Harrisburg back in 1909, when he had
charge of the animals in the big zoo
conducted at that time at the Arena.
Since that time he has been spending
his winters in Harrisburg, while the
various shows with which he has been
connected have been quartered else
where, rejoining these shows when
they start out on their summer cir
cults.
The Moose have set aside tonight as
Preparedness Night" and percent
age of all moneys taken in at the big
carnival will be set aside by them in
forwarding the preparedness move
ment, which is the big question that is
absorbing the attention of people all
over the country to-day. If the crowds
of the past few nights may be taken
as a criterion, the last half of the week
will result in a record-breaking attend
ance for the week. The carnival will
close Saturday night at IL o'clock

Little Rock, Oct. l2.-The cam paign committee of the Democratic state central committee will make strenuous efforts within the next few days to eject some life in the cam paign, and will add several impor- tant additions to the itinerary of sev- eral we'll known Democratic spell binders. Dr. Charles H. Brough, the Democratic nominee for governor; Justice w. F. Kirby, nominee for United States senator, will make a number of speeches before the gen eral election in November. Judge Kirby will speak at Shirley Novem- Der Z, and Bee Branch November 3. At Scotland November 1, and at Clin- ton November 6. These appoint ments are in Van Buren county which frequently elects the Republi- can county ticket Smead Powell of Camden will speak at Newport Octo- Der 13, at Mena October 16, at Wal dran October IT, at Van Buren Octo- Der Is at II a. m, and at Mulberry at 7:30 p. m.

The com mittee has decided to waste but little time on Eastern Arkansas, as that section of the state can always be relied upon to give rousing Demo- cratic majorities for the national and state tickets.
 Dr. Brough was in Little Rock a short time today en route to Michi- gan from Mississippi. After making several speeches in Michigan the Democratic gubernatorial nominee will go to Oklahoma to make num- Der of speeches, beginning on Octo- Der 23.
 After the election Dr. Brough ex- poets to spend much time in Little Rock conferring with members of the legislature relative to the policies he wishes enacted into law. He expects to take but little part in the organi- zation of the legislature, believing that the members are competent to select their own presiding officers. Dr. Brough says he will do every thing in his power to remain on friendly terms with every senator and representative, and do his utmost to prevent friction between the execu- tive and legislative departments of the state government.

.0NLY ONE DOLLAR FOR WILSON FUND

Credit will be given for the subscription at once and some one vii! be sent to you to collect it before Saturday, when the list will be closed.
 Fifty-fve dollars and fifty cents is needed to round out the local list to an even $200. There are scores of good Democrats in Conway who are able to contribute and who have not yet given anything. Don't let the list be closed without your name ap- bearing on it.

PRIMARY ELECTION
 FAVORED BY KIRBY

Little Rock, Oct. 12.-The state- ment is made authoritatively that As sociate Justice W. F. Kirby favored primary for the nomination of a United States senator, his opinion of the law being that a special election called for December 15 or January 1, would have been valid, and would have given the Central Committee time to hold a primary election on the general election day when all the voters would have been present to participate in it. The committee, however, after hearing many opin- ions, concluded that it was necessary to place the name of Democratic nominee on the ticket for the gener- al election day, November 2. Some suggested that a man should be se- lected who did not care to hold the office and who would resign after ward in favor of the man to be se- lected at primary to be called there after. Judge Kirby's opinion on this matter was that if the Central Con- mittee found it necessary to select candidate in order to protect the party and the people from the loss ia senator at the general election, they should select some one whom, they thought, would best discharge the public service in accordance with the wishes of the people.

NORMAL LINEUP
 FOR TIGER GAME TEAMS MEET TOMORROW
Coach Estes Eleven in Good COndi tiOn-First Game for Each
 College

Fourteen State Normal pigskin chasers, accompanied by Coach Dan Estes, will embark at 5:27 a. m. to- morrow for Philadelphia, where to- morrow afternoon they will stage a gridiron battle with Ouachita College. It will be the seasons inaugural for both teams.
 Asked concerning the Teachers chances for a victory this afternoon, Coach Estes said he was unable to compare the strength of the two com batants, as neither team had played this season. However, from reports l believe my boys have a fighting chance to win. It seems that the Tigers have one or two green men in their lineup, while both of my ends and two backfield men are novices. The new men are scrap pers and doubtless will put up a good game. The other players are in good condition"
 The coach announced the lineup for tomorrow as follows: Weatherly lett end; Conatser, left tackle; Vim son, left guard; Captain Brooks center; Thorp Ray, right guard; G. Dodson, right tackle; Denman, right end; Hammer, quarterback; Orien Wray, left halfback; Donnell, right halfback; Lowery, fullback; Reeves Day and R. Dodson, substitutes.
 The result of the game will be re- ceived at the Palm Garden shortly after the final quarter.
 Coach Estes today received a let ter from Student Manager Watt Ora ham of Little Rock College, stating that the college was in receipt of a letter from one of the institutions of the state advising the authorities to cancel the game scheduled with the Normal, on the ground that the Nor nal is not a member of the Arkansas Athletic Association. Upon his prom ise to play the game according to the association rules, Coach Estes said the game was not cancelled The game is scheduled for October 21, at Little Rock.
