far to get you to come out before
the people | know of no better way
to let you know what | think and
WHAT THE PEOPLE THINK of
your efforts to squirm out of the
predicament you have gotten your
self into than by addressing my
letter personally to you, Every
step you make you grow weaker.
Don't you know that such letters
as you are publishine-thoSe from
your fellow members in Congress-
count nothing with the people?
You were sent to Washington to
serve the people of the Second
Congressional District of Arkansas,
not the other members of Congress-
Your record shows that you have
always been willing to help the
members from other states get the
needed legislation for their constit-
uents, but YOU HAVE FAILED
TO REMEMBER THE PEOPLE
WHO ELECTED YOU. | can pro-
duce scores and scores of letters
received by me since | began this
campaign from men all over the
district WHO ARE DISPLEASED
WITH THE RECORD YOU HAVE
MADE.
You say in your letter to Mr..
Boen Phillips that the statements
Of your cotton gambling contracts
with N. L. Carpenter & Co. are forg-
cries. You have instructed certain
of your supporters to say that those
statements were stolen from your
private files. Aren't you getting
your lines crossed? These state
ments are genuine. Why don't you
come out like man and admit
that you have betrayed the people
into the hands Of their worst en-
emy, the New York Cotton Gamb
lers? You are only prolonglnt
your own agony by quibbline ovel
this matter.
You slander the intelligence O
the people of the good state of Ar
kansas when you try to make then
believe that the Lever bill protects
them against the gamblers of the
Cotton Exchanges. They know i,
is not true. You yourself are in re-
ceipt of a message sent to mem
bers of Congress by the cottor
growers of Hope, Arkansas, last
week urging that a bill be passed t(
stop the operation of these nefar'
ious gambling concerns, licensed by

Second Distribution Of Auto Tax.

The state treasurer is preparing to
send out warrants to the ninety-nine
counties for the sums they are entitled
to in the second distribution of the au-
tomoble registration fund for 1916.
Each county will receive $l51 for every
township. The total amount to be dis
tributed is $3.50, 900.
The counties for 1916 get 81, 4O7, l3S
from the auto fund. Tie total receiv-
ed in 1915 was 81, 1877, 76e. The increase
is due to the fact that Iowa now has
176, 600 automobiles registered while
the number of cars registered for the
entire twelve months last year was
LAG, 900.
Quincy A. Willis, deputy treasurer of
state, on April l, cut the first melon
for the counties. At that time 81, 157,
1873 was distributed. For the same
period in 1915 the state distributed
$693, 346. The new registration law
went into effect Jan. l. 1916 requiring
all old cars to be registered before
April l, or be subject to penalties
which increased monthly. This result
ed in rush of registration in the first
three months of this year, increasing
the receipts of the department for that
period to an unusual degree.

Motorcycle Accident.

Last Saturday about noon John
Schultz was going from Lime Springs
towards home on his motorcycle. About
a half mile south of town near the
Dugon farm, he met his younger BROTH
er driving the family horse hitched to a
buggy. In some manner an accident
occurred, the machine running into the
horse and throwing the elder boy with
much force as to cause concussion of
the brain and very badly bruising his
face and head. A doctor was at once
summoned and upon his arrival it was
deemed advisable owing to the nature
rpf his injuries to have the patient con-
veyed to the hospit At Cresco. At
this time he is slowly improving, and
unless unforeseen complications develop
will soon recover. The younger boy
was not hurt. The horse had its leg
broken and was shot. The motorcycle
was badly wrecked. Lime Springs
