Runner of Proposed Steal.

Dr. Brough stated that trial bal ances always yielded two per cent interest and time deposits four per cent interest, and that MT Hodges had nevc: accounted to the state for any interest and had deliberately vio- lated the laws of the slate.
 Dr. Brcugh said that Mir. Hodges published attacks on him as a tax dodger were absolutely unfcunded, ti'at practically every statement in the paid advertisement was untrue, and that it represented the despera- ton of a defeated man. pr.

Helena, Ark, Jan. 2G--Dr. c. H Brough. candidate for governor, ar. rived hcre this afternoon from Haynes, in Lee county, where he ad- dressed an audience If over 200 this ,rorning. He was met at the sta ;ion by several mem bers of the local Trough club, who showed him the courtesies of Nhe city during the afternoon. pr. Brough addressed ! packed house at the courth1 1use to- night, large delegations from West being present.
 He was introduced by the Hon. Eruo2 Macon, congressman from the First congressional district for 1O years. At the outset of his address D.. Brough referred to MT. Hodges statement that eff single leader of IT ore than township importance ln Eastern Arkansas could be found supporting Dr. Brongh in the present race, he (Hodges) would retire from the race for governor
 Dr. Brough replied py citing such 1en as ex-Congressman Macon, Sena- tor John l.. Moore, Gov. FutrelI, senator Lon Slaughter Of St. Francis county. Senator Yam of Vanndale, exsenatcr T. A. Turner of Jonesboro, eX- Gov. Roberts of Maranna. Sena- tor J. L. Garter Of Eudora, Senator elect w. F. Ward of .Marianna, a number of prominent political lead CTS from Crittenden, Cross.

Hedges was making the statement in practically all of his speeches that of 164 county officers io Arkansas, only six were support ing pr. Brough. Dr..Brough said that this boast was absolutely unfounded, as was shown by the fact that MT. Hedges managers contemplated se- curing an ind9rsement for MT.

Another week has passed without any important political development The candidates are all abroad, car rying on vigorous campaign. Large fields of entries have been reduced i'll nearly all instances to pairs. There are still three candidates for govern or, and all of them are working hard to capture the festive voter. Judge L. c. Smith, the Arkansas county candidate, insists that he is factor in the race, notwithstanding the man. ner in which Dr. Brough and Secre- tary Hodges continue to occupy the center of the stage. Judge Smith is making speeches. as we'll as his op- ponents, and he had big crowd to hear him in Little Rock the other night. The opening of headquarters by Sheriff Hogan Oliver, candidate for state auditor, and the rumor that Herbert Bost of Johnson county will probably not insist upon running for agricultural commissioner were about the only other developments.

BANK REPORTS REFLECT FINE
 CONDITIONS
Steady Increase in Re sources Shown by Five
 Statements in 1915.
lBy Clio Harper.l

Little Rock, Jan. GJ.-Mcst gratify. ing conditions throughout the stat are reflected in the reports Of Stat Bank Commissioner Davis. Tais de. partment is one of the youngest, as i; is now entering upon it's third year but already the salutary influence ct general head for the bankin:, in- terests of the state is apparent IT stronger banks. greater public conf dence, and increased resources.
 1t is interesting tC note that during forced to close 16 banks, while in 191; only three were closed, and thus fat in 1916 there have been none. Al the state banks are now subject tC the same rigid examination as that re- quired of the national Nbanks. Al least two examinations are made an nually of each bank, ill addition tC those of it's own examining commit tees, and at least five published state ments annually are required. By this means, the affairs of every bank are kept constantly under surveillance and whenever weak spot appears efforts are made at once to remedy it
 One of the most important missions of the banking department is to pre- vent banks from failing, and thereby safeguard the interests of stockholdel and depositor alike. Much of the work accomplished, therefore, does not become known publicly. For the first time in the history of the state, banks are being regulated, and regu- lated sanely.
 During the year 1914 there were twelve new banks chartered, and in 1915 there were five chartered. On March 4, 1915, there were 4G4 banks, and on Nov 10, there were S92 banks This is exclusive of the national banks, which do not report to the state bank commissioner. The reduc- tion in number is partially due to sev- eral mergers, whereby weak banks were strengthened by merging with others.
 The individual deposits increased from S24,524060.25 on March 4, to $27, ,405, ,195.36 Nov. 10.
 There were five calls for statements during the year, and one of the grati- flying features of the reports is the increase in the total resources, as shown by the following:
 March 4. 1.9S9.094.69.
 May 1, $633,SO6, 6,156.55.
 June 23, S62, 1925, ,463.47.
 Sept. 2. $61,617, ,267.69.

declare our firm AMI unalterable pur-
pose to work for the advancement of
the principles here adopted until they
are enacted into law.
I'VE believe in an intelligent pro-
tective tariff, constructed on sound
economic lines, laid out by a non-par-

tariff, which shall fairly measure the
difference in the pay envelope at home
and abroad this commission shall be
made up of such classes Of citizens

resented and that laboring men may
be protected in their, labor as We'll as

drink evil without compromise, IN both
state and nation.
believing in the complete sover-

1--WE believe that when the sworn
officers of the law openly nullify the

stead, who will respect their oath of
Office.
"Reaffirming our belief in the prin-
ciple of equal suffrage, we cordially

I'VE believe in genuine secret ball

by Legislatures in Maine controlled by

1--WE believe in the direct election Of
attorney general, secretary of State,
State treasurer and commissioner Of ag-
