HODGES RALLY WELL ATTENDED
300 Supporters Attend Rally Held af
 Little Rock; Gain Sterngth.

Little Rock, Feb. 21.-(Special)- The largest rally ever held by 6 can didate in Arkansas, prior to demo cratic election was that of Earle ". Hodges, friends held in Little Rock yesterday afternoon. More than 800 people attended the meeting, and every county in the state was represented by from four to ten leading citizens from every section of every county in the state.
 Early in the day it was seen that the three large rooms used as headquart- CTS by MT. Hodges would not begin to told the crowd, and arrangements were made to use the large banque; hall at the hotel. This has a seatins capacity at from 300 to 700 people. ; and every available seat was taken. more chairs were brought in ana still men had to stand throughout the ,, meeting which lasted from 2 to O 'olCck.
 A more enthusiastic meeting was re.er held here.
 Many enthusiastic speeches were made by those present The speech of Judge Toney, of Chicot county. was i among those that created the greatest enthusiasm, although it was brief. He said he had not come to Little Rock as supporter of Mr. Hodges, but he woul'. go back to Chicot county as his supporter.
 Old time politicians, men who have seen the clans gather here for the fast twenty years, declare that this vas the largest and most enthusiastic meeting ever held by the friends of a,iyi candidate for governor, prior to the primary election. Many of those present declared it looked like land- slide for Hodges, and some or his friends, who had not been so enthus- iastic before declared there was no way to defeat him for governor Outside the headquarters of the oth- CT two candidates there was no activ- ity and outside of the conference held at each of them during the day by few friends in the city, there was noth- ing to indicate that there was more tan one man in the race for gover- nor. There was not report made at the Hodges meeting that was not fav- orable to him and report from Dr. i Brough's home town of Fayetteville, said that the doctor was losing votes in that section every day, and that Hodges was eai,lrg. The report fur tner said if Froueh's losses and Hod- ges gaining kept up from now until the primary, Hodges would carry that county.
 MT. Hedges expressed himself as greatly pleased at the outlook and left this morning for south Arkansas where he has speaking dates for the balance of the week.

DELEGATES TO
 FORT SMITH
Interest in Highway Convention sr Ft. Smith to Draw Large Crowd.
 Delegates to Leave Today.

What is expected to be the biggest good roads gathering ever held in Ar kansas, will commence at Fort Smith Wednesday, when the Arkansas Jeffer- son Highway Association convenes for two days session to lay plans to cap ture the Jeffersen highway from Okla way has been tentatively designated to run. It is said that 1500 delegates will attend.
 The counties that have certified their representation are: Carroll, Ben- ton, Washington, Crawford, Frank lin, Sebastian Scott Polk Montgom- cry, Sevier, Howard, Little River, Mill Ter, Jike, Garland and Hampstead.
 Little River county will be we'll re- presented at the Fort Smith meeting, according the inflammation given to the News. The delegates appointed in this county are:
 Ashdown, Lon T. Jones, June R. Morrell, J. H. Embry, Dr. A. N. Wood, J. M Johnson, w. l.. Perkins, and J. G. Sandrson.
 Ogden. pr. I. N. Hut, Roy Budd.
 Wilton, Joel Mills, Neut Cooper.
 Allene, Curry Wright, J. T. Sikes.
 Winthrop, R. T. Sessions Dr. J. l.. Peavy.
 It is expected there will be some hot contests in the matter of designating a route through the western part of the state. Two routes have been pro- posed in Benton county, one through the eastern part and the other through the western part. South of Fort Smith there is a movement to divert the road from Waldron through Montgomery county east to Garland county to touch jTa. Springs and thence southwest to- ward Texarkana. This route would eliminate at least Polk, Sevier and Little River counties. In order to be sure to be in on the route all three ot tIC COuILlcS VII! send large ueieSd- tions.
 There is also another ccatest by Howard and Hampstead counties to get on the road and they, too, will be represented by a large force of dele gates for the same purpose.
 Three hundred automobiles will be placed at the disposal of the visitors at Fort Smith for these two days.
 The Little River delegates will go armed with data concerning this road, md will make strong fight for the proposition. All of them are boosters and have the interest of the county at heart.

to see me, because of the fight and the work I had done for the farmers dur ing the short time have been in Con- gress, and urged me to stay here and keep up the fight to get bonafde bill instead of makeshift. Any statement that l am the author of. or claim to be the author of, bill that would make each farmer responsible fer the loans of his neighbors Is false. During my short service as mem- Der of Congress I have devoted all my time, energy and ability to my duties here, and feel that have justly earn ed the reputation I have made as working member of Congress. I have done my part in framing and passing the great constructive measures en- acted by Congress during my short service, and feel that have right to be proud of the record have made believe the people know this record, for within the last few days letters have been pouring in to me from all parts of my district letting me know that they appreciate the services have rendered, are proud of the re- cord have made as their Congress- man. and assure me that the people cannot be mislead by these false and misleading attacks made upon me in my absence.

OSCAR PULLUM
 GIVEN FREEDOM
Little River Man Once Under SeE- tence of Death Set Free Again.
 Convicted in 19iO.

Little Rock, Feb 20.-(Special) )- Governor Hays has pardoned Oscar Pullum of Little River county, con- victed at the July, 1910, term, of the Little River circuit court at Ashdown, of murder in the first degree for kill ing Fayette DeLoney, and sentenced to life imprisonment. DeLoney was a well to do farmer. 50 years old, who married young woman of 21. Their marriage life, according to the petition. was not congenial and she courted the favor of young Pullum, about 23 years of age. who became wildly infatuated with her. It is al- leged that she conspired with Pullum to murder her husband, which he did. She was arrested and acquitted. He surrendered and offered no defense.
 J. s. Steel. the presiding judge, and J. C. PinniX,, the prosecuting attor- ney in both cases, in a strong petition recommending the pardon said: "We want to say that he was the most penitent man We ever saw, saying he did not ask clemency, but felt he should die for his crime. He could not understand why it was he was in duced to do it but he did know that he did commit the crime and all he could do vas 10 surrender himself and be prosecuted for it. We never heard of stain upon the character of Oscar Pullum until this, nor upon any mem Der of his family. He was an honest hardWorking, peaceable orderly young man, and we are familiar With the facts and who believe in the law be- ing enforced believe under the pecu- liar circumstances Oscar Pullum should be pardoned.

CONGRESSMAN WINGO AND
 RURAL CREDITS,

My attention has just been called to a paid advertisement signed by my opponent, in which he attacks me and my fight for Rural Credits. and tries te mislead the people into believing that I claim to be the author of a cer- tain bill which was criticised by farm paper which he quoted To those who have kept up With the rural credit Legislation ar. 1nN fight therefor, no reply IS necessary but to those who have not I make this statement.
 Many rural credit bills havc been intrtduceG i,l both the House and the particular lill criticised by the farm paper quoted by my opponent in his attack, is bill reported by a special joint committee of Congress, and the farm paper quoted, so stated. I waa not a member of that special iclnc committee, and had nothing to do with the writing of the bill which 1t report ed and any statement that I claim to be the author of that bill is false. When this bill was reported to the House by this special committee, and was by the Speaker referred to the committee of which I am a member, l at once at public meeting of my committee stated my objections to the bill, and among other things specifi- cslly pointed out the provision, which in effect would make every farmer who borrowed under this bill, responsible for the loans of every ether person borrowing from the same institution, and put the Committee on notice that 1 would not stand for such provision. After hard fight, the provision plac- ing ali unlimited liability upon each borrower for the loans of the other borrowers was UPON MY MOTION STRICKEN FROM THE BILL. The farm paper quoted by my opponent made the same criticism of the special committees bill that I had previously made and used the same arguments that I had used in my fight to kill the provision criticised. It will thus be seen that I killed the provision in my committee sometime before my op- ponent by his misleading attack tc, make it appear that I claimed to be the author of it. While my oppo- nent was at home trying to mislead the people as to my position on this question, I was here at my post of duties fighting the very proposition lie seeks by his misleading statemen, to have the people believe was fav- cr.ng. While he and his hired work CTS are running over the district in my absence attacking me and my work for rural credits, I am here working night and day trying to get a bonafide government aid rural cred it bill that will furnish farmers long term loans at low rate of interest. While he and his hirelings are there TALKING I am here WORKING. At the very time he was printing this misleading attacks upon me, am hsre i'll conference with the national officers and legislative committees of the Farmers Union and the Nation Grange, for the purpose of trying to see whether or not the bill in question could be so amended as to meet thelr views, the representatives of the
 Farmers Union stating that they came
