millions OF American dollars" He ap-
peals in all his speeches to his hear
ers to vote for Wilson because he has
kept the country out OF war, and has
steered the ship Of state into the
harbor of peace progress and pros
perity, with the motto, America
First. at the masthead.
Dr. Brough praised the Shackelford
good roads bill enacted by the Demo
cratic congress, appropriating $4,000
OOO over a period of five years for the
construction OF good roads. The share
that will come TO Arkansas the first
year is $4,000, and this will increase
annually. The present cost Of trans
porting one ton one mile, with pres
ent roads, and taking the average for
the whole state, is 26.S cents, but this
can be reduced with pike roads to
approximately cents per mile.
Hughes play for the support of the
women in the suffrage states, by pre-
tending to favor equal suffrage, is
purely political. Woodrow Wilson
voted for woman suffrage in New Jer-
sey two years ago, while Hughes had
not cast a vote in a city, county or
state election since 1910, although
woman's suffrage had been in issue
in New York.
In concluding, DR.. Brough advocated
the passage of Constitutional Amend
ment No. IA, for the good roads tax;
No. l3 for the extension of the Initia-
tive and Referendum; No. IL, the Edu-
cational Amendment He vigorously
opposed the passage of Act No. 2.
for the repeal of the Statewide Pro-
hibition law, declaring that its terms
are grossly unfair, even from the view
point of the local optionist, and that
the welfare of the boys and girls of
/ the state is involved in its defeat. He
also advocated the Brundidge Primary
Election Law.

A LARGE AUDIENCE GREETED THE GGNGRE SSmAH LAST
SATURDAY AFTERNOON AT THE COURT HOUSE

1t was a splendid audience that
gathered at the court house last Sat
urday afternoon, to the strains of the
Harrison Military Band, to hear Con-
gressman John n. Tillman discuss
state and national politics; and they
were rewarded by a speech strong in
all its reasoning and eloquent in its
delivery. The high character of the
speaker coupled with his close con-
tact personally to the subjects dis
cussed, gave him mastery which was
highly interesting to all. While ring
ing with true Democracy, his address
throughout was free from invective,
and nothing was said to wound the
feelings of any who might holF
verse views. Frequent 2 I'd ad,
given to the -goa' V applause was
the spiriml- SOU points, but all in
LIT of good will and free from
/ bitterness.
Mr.. Tillman opened his discussion
I by denouncing initiated Act No. 2,
! claiming that it was initiated solely by
those who wanted to make a profit
out OF the sale of whiskey, claiming
that it was unfair, that it would take
serious people away from their busi.
ness every month or so to vote upon
the single question as to whether or
not any particular people should have
a saloon, and then, if a saloon should
be voted in it could not be eliminated
FOR two years. 1--WE do not want TO
take long step backward on the H.
quor question, the best thought of the
world is against it, Arkansas and all
other progressive states are now dry,"
said he. He also advocated the pro.
posed primary election law and en-.
dorsed Amendment No. 13.
His tribute to the local organiza-
ton and county Democratic ticket was
timely, and received with an enthu.
siasm which betokened its hearty
endorsement.

In predicting Mr.. Wilson's re-elec-
tion Mr.. Tillman said that while the
Germans would vote against him-S5
per cent of whom were Republicans,
he would get the allies, many of whom
were in pivotal states, and the real
sincere progressives of the country,
disgusted at the effort of their leader
Theodore Roosevelt, in turning his
back upon them. He stated that Mr..
wilson was the only real progressive
now before the country, that Hughes
was reactionary, and that even the
forWard-looking Republicans would
vote in considerable numbers for
President Wilson.
In the closing part of his address
Mr.. Tillman stated that Mr.. Wilson
was the real friend of the suffrage
and that Judge Hughes was
a disappointment to his party and had
disgusted many by his weak and cap.
tlous criticism Of the presidents acts
and policies. He said that the slogan.
He Kept Us Out of War" would win
for Wilson, citing the fact that Edison,
the foremost scientist of the world,
Mr.. Ford and Senator Hansborough,
all lifelong Republicans, had an.
nounced for Mr.. Wilson.

ARKANSAS POLITICS.
Or. Charles n. Broush Opens the
Arkansas Campaign With Strong
Array Of Democratic Truths.

Arkansas is all right, politically, ex-
cept in spots, and the plan is to look
after the Wilson fences in other
states. That is why DR. c. II. Brough,
the Arkansas Democratic nominee Tor
governor, has been drafted by the Ma
tional Committee as one of the most
effective Campaigners developed in the
entire party When he wanted to
come home to make some speeches,
the National Committee would not
listen He was needed in the north.
During the month of September he
made thirty speeches in Maine, one in
New York. one in Ohio, one in Ken
lucky, and two in Arkansas. Since
last Wednesday he has been speaking
in Missouri and Kansas. October 4th
and 5th he was in Illinois, october 9Th
in Wisconsin, and October 9th to 18th
he will be in Indiana, and October 49,
l4th in Michigan. He may come home
then for few speeches-and he may
not.
Congressman Jacoway of the Fifth
District is also booked for campaign
outside of Arkansas, three speeches in
Oklahoma, two in Nebraska, and
three in Tennessee, besides covering
the eight counties in his own district.
Those who heard DR.. Brough's
speech at Melbourne last week at the
opening of the lizard county court are
enthusiastic in their praise of his
grasp OF national affairs. There were
delegations present from Independ.
ence, Stone, Fulton, and other near
counties, and he was given most
/, reception. One of the inter
" of the meeting was

the fact that the chairm..-.,o
as S. Evans, who is ninety-five
old, and has resided practically all his
life in that section of the state.
DR.. Brough referred to Woodrow
Wilson as a man, who, combining the
patriotism OF Washington, the phios
ophy Of Thomas Jefferson, the cour
age OF Andrew Jackson, and the phil
anthropy of Abraham Lincoln, is des
tined to go down in history as one OF
the five great presidents.
He said that every member of wbar
had been the Progressive party in
Arkansas should support the Demo.
cratic ticket, both state and national,
and should vote for Wilson, because
Wilson and Democratic congress had
enacted into law every plank in the
Roosevelt platform except the recall
of judicial decisions.
| DR.. Brough described the Federal
Reserve act as the greatest piece of
constructive legislation enacted since
the civil war. He referred to the Ru
raj Credits act as the Magma Charta
OF Liberty for the farmer whereby the
farmer is enabled to secure longtime
loans at rate of interest not OK

National politics was dwelt upon at
length. Mr.. Tillman claiming that
Woodrow Wilson is the foremost man
of all the world and will be elected by
a large majority" He spoke of his
wonderful constructive administration,
resulting in the passage of the Rural
Credits Bill, the Good Roads Bill, the
Child Labor Law, the Eight Hour Day
for labor, the stoppage of the strike,
legislation in behalf of the farmers,
antitrust legislation, the taxing Of
incomes, and other progressive and
remedial legislation, including the

AGAINST SUCCESSION.

Whenever legislation against sue cession ia office after four years is proposed, we usually all join in and say that is long enough for any man to hold public office, and that such a change in the constitution should be adopted. There are two sides to the situation, though, and it may be well to view fl from both sides hefore reaching a conclusion Of final favor.
 Here in this ehancery district we have aa example Of the other side of such legislation. Col J. P. Hendel son is out chancery judge. The chan. cery court is a high court in which liberty and property rights are in volved at every sitting. Col. Tender son seemed to be fitted into the judge ship so well that the place is not con tended for by others. Of course it may be, later, but the man of ayerag~ information would guess for you the first guess that Col Henderson will serve out his life Of usefulness as chancellor of this district if he de gires to do so.

TRUE REPRESENTATION.

Public officials all up and down the line are truely representative of the anblic they represent Every official holding an elective office is the elect of his people, the selection they made when they placed honors and respon- abilities in his hands often you will hear a citizen say: q will vote for John Doe, because he is the lesser of tho two evils offered" John Doe IS as good and valuable a citizen as the others who criticize him because John Doe will offer himself and the best that is in him for public office, and the critic will not offer himself or ioin with others to bring out a suit able man. There is no getting away frcm the hard fact that the people are governed by men of their choice. Pro. gressiye communities, pointed to as examples by other communities, for having excellent public officials all ur and down the line, are progressive in their citizenship or they would noi rave that kind of officials. If igno ranee and prediudice and ego are offered in progressive communities they are knocked down.

have never received a single kindness or
courtesy from any Of them" flied notice
Yesterday In the S~urrogate's Office In
brooklyn that they intend to contest
her will. which b%equeathed $4,000 to

the heirs OF the second marriage getting
$4,000. During this fight Miss Gilman,
with $1,000 given to her by her father.
