Republican party as a slight diver
sion during the summer ana fall.
Signs of the approaching storm
already appear on the political huri-
zon Beginning with the somewhat
humiliating admission that they
have accomplished nothing after
fifty wears, the Hon. Harry Myers,
the Beau Brummel as well as the
Chauncey Depew and the hereditary
candidate Of the party in Arkansas,
has sounded the toCsin OF oppOSi-
tiun to the old order of things.
Il he old order Of things in the
Myers lexicon, is synonym for the
Hon. II. L. Kennel, upon whose
sholderS fell the mantle Of leadership
upon the passing Of Gen Powell
Clayton.
The Honorable Harry is openly
and admittedly out on the war
path after fhe political scalp OF the
Honorable Harmon h. Aud the
Honorable Harmon L. is lust as
strongly opposed to being super
seded as Grand Sachem of the
&. o. +. 1t is an old story that is
being revived, and the democrats
will find it an interesting diversion
to watch the scrap, as the demo
cratic lighting will all be over on the
Doth Of March.
The Democratic state convention
is being gradually stripped of all
the prerogatives that once made it
the Greatest Show on Earth. 1t has
become scarcely more thar Il ratih-
cation meeting. The people do the
work, The people nominate every
body, from road-overseer to l. 5.
Senator.
And now comes the latest of its
privileges swept away-the National
Committe has decrced that the
people shall elect, at primary call
ed for that purpose, the Delegates
and Alternates to the National Con-
and the National Com
These were the last Of
The Harrison times., 1916-01-08

Ii is interesting To speculate on
the complexion Of the Big Four, un-
der the new plan OF direct election
by the people. From time immemo-
rial, it has beet the custom to elect
as the tour delegates at large, the
two United States Senator'S, the
nominee for Governor, and one
other political leader This was the
course pursued with few exceptions.
But when the votes are counted,
somebody is likely to be greatly re-
duced in his own concelt. Natur-
ally. each OF the four candidates for
governor will desire a place on the
ticket as candidates for delegates at
large, and then probably some Others
who will consider that their
services to the party have won for
them that honor.
And so the politicians become
more and more clay in the hands OF
the people, to be nodded to their
liking. willy nillv.-Clio Harper.
The Harrison times., 1916-01-08

the political plums at the disposal
OF the State convention, and now
that they have been swept away,
some interesting alignments may he
expected when the people take it in
hand.
The attention of the State Com
mite was called to it only last
week. Ii was somewhat of bomb
shell dropped into camp. But when
Chairman A. J. Walls and some of
his advisers got together to CON
slider the matter, there was no WAY
out Of it. "What else could we
do." said they, and they ordered
that candidates tor National Com
mitteeman and Delegates and Alter
mates shall pay fee to the Secre'
tary of the State committee, who
would certify out their names Just
as any other candidates
Then when the state convention
meets all it will have left of his for
mer functions will be the drafting Of
a platform. And even that is be-
coming a somewhat pertunctory
matter, with the Initiative and
Referendum in the hands of the
people. A point in evidence: The
last state convention went on record
in favor of new election law. A
committee was appointed which
drafted what is known as the
Honest Primary Law, which was
submitted to the Legislature for en-
actmcnt. But its sad fate at the
hands of the General Assembly is
well known. Now all the candidates
for Governor have declared in their
platforms and opening speeches IN
favor of an Honest Election Law, so
it must be provided by the next
Legislature, or someone must
answer for the consequences. In
fact, the people may decide to take
it out of the hands of the Legisla-
ture, and adopt the law by the
Initiative route at the November
election.

Mr. Knox, from the University at

mite in holding these meetings
which are for the purpose of select
ing delegates to attend a district
convention at Harrison on Ian. II.
This convention of delegates will
frame and adopt a constitution and
bylaws.
1t is important that all farmers
attend these primary meetings at
their respective shipping points.
The success of this undertaking
depends upon the attitude Of the
farmers themselves. With their
universal support it can be made a
successful business organization.
The Harrison times., 1916-01-08

The principal subjects for discus
sion will be, "Orcharding in North
ern Arkansas" Cattle Problems, "
Good Roads, and "Co.operation. "
Let every farmer consider this an
opportunity. Let January 10Th be
your tradidg day in Harrison for
that week and come to town and
