DR. BROUGH ON
 WILSON VICTORY
After Making 70 Speeches in 12 States. He Says 1t
 Looks Like Victory.

Dr. CHI. Brough, Democratic om- inee for Governor of Arkansas, on returning from a trip through the middle west, predicts landslide for Woodrow Wilson. Dr. Brough has made TO speeches in 12 states, and will make 10 in Arkansas, be- ing in Malvern next Friday night. In speaking of the presidents chan ces for reelection, and his strength in the section of the country, where he had been, Dr. Brough says:
 The presidents greatest strength is in the Middle-west. l believe he will carry Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, Colorado, Nebraska. West Virginia, Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri and Oklahoma and. of course, the solid South.
 The drift of sentiment for month has been in the presidents favor, as is revealed by straw votes taken by newspapers and by chain of 5000 retail drug stores.
 Labor is supporting the president almost to a man, and the declara- ton of such captains of industry as Thomas A. Edison, Henry Ford, President Underwood of the Erie railroad, and Judge Lovett of the Southern Pacific that they favor his reelection has done Mir. Wilson a world of good in business circles.

THE SUPREME COURT AND THE
 PEOPLE.

The Supreme Court often thwarts the wishes of the people by declaring laws they make unconstitutional. Sometimes these laws are so much in douDt that the judges differ among themselves. Now the people are and they are clearly in the wrong When the jHages disagree on the constitu- tionality of law adopted by the peo- pie. the people should be given the benefit or the doubt. Amendment No. B provides that the judges must be unanimous in decision to dtleat a law adopted by the people.
