DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

The Democratic state convention is beinV gradually stript Of all the prerogratives that once made it the Greatest Show on Earth. It has become scarcely more than a ratifi- cation meeting. The people do the work The people nominate every body, from road-oyerseer to |. S. Senator.
 And now comes the latest of its privileges swept away-the National Committee has dscreed that the people shall elect at a primary call for that purpose, the Delegates and alternates to the National Conyen- tion. and the National Committeeman These were the last of the political Iplums at the disposal Of the State Convention, and now that they have been swept away. some interesting laignments may be expected when tho people take it in hand.
 The attention of the State Com mittee was called to it only last week. It was somewhat Of a bomb shell dropped into camp. But when i Chairman A. ! Nalla and some of i his advisers got together to consid- CT the matter, there was no way out of it. What else could We do?" said they, and they ordered that can didates for National Committeeman and Delegates and Alternates shall pay a fee to the Secretary Of the State committee, who would certify out their names just as any other candidates.
 Then when tho state convention meets all it will have left of his former functions will be the draft ing of a platform. And even that is becoming a somewhat perfunctory matter. with the Initiative and Refer endm in thhe hands of the people A point in evidence: The last state convention went on record in favor of a new election law. A committee was appointed which drafted what is known as the Honest Primary Law which was submitted to the Legis- lature for enactment But it's sad fate at the hands of the General As sembly is we'll known. Now all the candidates for Governor have declar- ed in their platforms and opening speeches in favor of an Honest Elec- tion Law, so it must be provided by the next Legislature, or some one must answer for the consequences. In fact, the people may decide to take it out of the hands of the Leg islature, and adopt the law by the Initiative route at the November cleo tion

SOME STATE POLITICS
Promises to Be Warm Enough To
 Suit the Most Exactine.
GClio Harper ]

lii le Loe, Jan. 4.-The year l916, q political year all the way up the line-or down has opened in Ark ansas, with the lines pretty well drawn The cards are practically complete, and at this late day it is very probable that any other candir dates will apppear for state office NeYer. before in the history Of the state has there been more trying out back-filling pipe-laying, fence fixing. sife-stepping than there has been in Arkansas since prominent citizens first got the habit of being mention ed for governor" more than year ago
 But now the indications are that they have been pretty well wooded out, and that the identity of the next Governor lies among four men who are making a thorough campaign of the state, presenting their claims to the people. There will be no furth- er withdrawals, or else the dope sheets are all wrong. And the same is true of other state offices. While certain good citizens have had feel CTS out for some of the offices, the fact that they have not yet announe- ed seems conclusive that they have not received that encouragement which they consider sufficient sup port to warrant an entry at this late date.
 As it appears now-and this is likely the ticket that will go before the people on March 29-the lineup is as follows:
 For Governor T. C. McRae, Earle " Hodges. (. II. Brougb, |. C Smith.
 For Secretary of state-T. ]. Terra Jim Higgins. Y. A. Beeson.
 For State Treasurer G. Ne Daniel.
 For Auditer of State Hogan 0H- yer, NJ F. Dickinson.
 For Agricultural Commissioner Jonn II. IdSe.
 For Attorney Lewis Rho ton. John D. Arbuckle
 For sopt. of Public Instruction j. L. Bond, l. w. Kuykendall.
 For Land Commissioner W. E. Owen.
 For Associate Justice Carroll D. Wood
 There are seven candidates for Railroad Commissioner im the South ern District. W. G. Brasher of Yell and Oscar Wi1n of Pulaski are eandi- dates from the Northwestern District and Tom Wood is unoppposed from the Northeastern district.
 There are some spirited contests for Congress, but Caraway in the First. Tl'man in the Third. Wingo in the Fourth and Jacobway in the Fifth district are unopposed. In the second district A. c. Gray is attempt ing to wrest the nomination from Congressman Oldfield In the Sixth. Speaker l.. E Sawyer of the last Ark ansas House, and T. Hayis Nixon are opposing s. NJ Taylor. Probably the hardest fight of all is that being waged in the Seventh, where W. s, Goodwin seeks a renomination, and is opposed by W. F. Mcknight, R. $. Warnook, and State Senator ]. o. \. Bush Some of the campaigning in this district has already reached the personally yitrioic stage, with the prospect Of be1omtrg more bitter.
