ARKANSANS WITH WILSON

Washington, D. C., Aug. 29.-Ar- kansas congressman who could be reached tonight expressed freely their approval of President Wilson's stand as outlined in his address to the joint session of Congress this afternoon. They agree that the case was we'll pre- scented and are favorable to the legis- lation proposed and believe it offers a solution of present difficulties and a remedy for similar controversies in the future.
 Congressman Caraway said: "The president exhibited both courage and statesmanship in the stand he has taken"
 Congressman Oldfeld: "The plan offered is entirely feasible and the case was admirably presented"
 Congressman Tillman: "The mes sage is classic and a great state paper, and offers the only solution"
 Congressman Taylor: 'I favor the legislation recommended by the presi- dent and l believe the people are with him."
 Congressman Goodwin. Thus far the Democratic Congress has dealt successfully with many big problems under the leadership of the president, which l hope is an omen of the sue cess that will attend our efforts in the matters outlined to us today. The president has shown rare courage in dealing with a serious situation. The message is clear and the legislation should be remedial, not only for the present, but for the years to come"

POOR SOLDIER BOY"
 FARES WELL
Dr. Brough Writes Campaign in Maine Makes Favorable Inn pressiOn-NatiOnal Ticket Run Ahead of State.
By (lln Hnrner

Little Rock, Aug. 30.-Those who have been wasting their sympathy upon the ''poor soldier boys" because they were being half starved" must have an entirely different view of the matter when they peruse the list of things they consumed during the month of July. From figures just compiled, it appears that provisions for the two regiments of the Arkansas troops for July cost $14,323.46. And they had something to eat besides corned-beef and cabbage and black coffee. In fact, they fared sumptu- ously every day, if one may judge from the quantity and variety of pro- visions consumed. Statistics are dry, but that is the only way to visualize how we'll the Arkansas Guardsmen fared at the hands of the commissary. Here is the list for thirty days:
 46,417 pounds fresh beef; 8,96g pounds bacon; 750 pounds corned beef: 504 pounds corned beef hash; 9S4 cans salmon; 21,4 ,453 pounds flour; 26,916 pounds fresh bread; 240 pounds corn neal IA pounds yeast; 4,500 pounds beans; 4,730 pounds rice; 64,162 pounds potatoes; AGO pounds onions; 1,418 cans tomatoes; 1853 pounds prunes; 7,700 pounds salt; 465 cans black pepper; 213 cans cinnamon; 45 cans ginger; "A pounds tea; 14,323 pounds sugar; 2200 cans evaporated milk; 16S gallons vinegar; COP gallons pickles; } pounds nutmeg; 1,045 pails lard; S2g pounds evaporated apples; S97 pounds evaporated peaches; S06 cans blackberry jam; 4,169 pounds coffee; 415 gallons syrup; 158 bottles flavoring extracts; 26 pounds chewing tobacco; 432 pounds smoking tobacco; 60 pounds sugar-cured ham.
 That is what they ate at Fort Logan H. Roots, besides all the knick- knacks brought in by friends. So long as supplies are available, there is no danger of the soldiers suffering, for the same kind of fare, in variety and quantity, is being continued in the camp at Deming.

The Prescott daily news., 1916-08-30

Dr. C. H. Brough writes from Maine where he has been delivering a series Of campaign addresses for the Ma tional Democratic ticket, that the cam paign which has been conducted in that state by a number of speakers is making a most favorable impression. He predicts that the National ticket will run far ahead of the state ticket, and that there are strong indications that Maine may go for Woodrow Will son with the same degree of enthus- iasm which tradition says it went for Gov. Kent.
 The campaign in Arkansas for the state and national tickets will open about Sept. 15, and for the ensuing
