 CAMPAIGN FUND
Wilson Campaign Deficit Fund.

Only $3 was received by the Log Cabin Democrat today toward the fund being raised to pay off the de felt in the Democratic national cam paign expenses, the amount being the smallest of any day since the fund was opened last week. The list will be closed on next Saturday, Novem- Der 25, at which time all collections will be forwarded to National Treas urer w. w. Marsh at New York. National Chairman Vance McCormlck has requested that $10o be collected here as Conway's share of the dehcit. The Log Cabin Democrat hopes that this amount will be secured, but con tributions will have to come consid- erably more rapidly than they have today if this amount is realized. No one will be dunned or begged for a donation, but all voluntarily contrlbu- tions will be cheerfully received and acknowledged.

Shortly before the close January contracts in New York cross ed the 2l=ccnt mark. going to 2l.05 and at this point 1t stood about 50 points over Saturdays close.

 The price at Conway today was ad-
 aaaed 9 20 1-2 cents. with very few bales being sold The big deluge of last week apparently brought out all

PLAN 10 PETITION
 OUT BILLIARD HALL SIGNERS BEING SECURED
To Petition Asking County Court to Make Order Prohibiting Pool or
 Billiard Halls Here.

Proceeding under an old legislative act of Arkansas, citizens who are op- posed to the operation of billiard or pool halls in Conway. yesterday he gan the circulation of petitions which, if the required majority is secured, will make it possible for the county court to make an order forbiddine the maintenance of such places in Con way. The statute referred to is found in section 926 of Kirby's Digest. It provides that when a majority of the voters within a radius of three miles of any educational institution so petition to the county court, the court may make an order prohibiting the maintenance of pool or billiard halls, gambling houses or other such places and the section provides for penalty for violations of the courts order, The petition is similar to that formerly invoked against saloons.
 In the petitions now being circu- lated Hendrix College is made the center of the circle, the radius of which is three miles in length t is estimated that the number of voters residing within this circle is about 1000, though this will be a matter of proof to be bought before the court X large number of signatures to the petitions were secured at the Meth odist and Baptist churches yesterday, and several copies of it are being circulated and signed today The cir culators say there will be no difficulty in securing the required majority
 A pool hall has been operated here for the past several weeks by R. D. White. The owner was fined $25 by Mayor J. C. Dawson the first day he opened the place, but the case was ap- pealed to the circuit court. Legal authorities declare, however, that the ordinance under which he was fined has been invalidated by recent decis- ions of the supreme court.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE DEPART
 MENT.

The clothing 10 class of the Arkan- sas State Normal has started a work that will be very helpful to the mem- bers of the class, and at the same time useful to others.
 They are making children's clothes. These garments are to be made in little sets, and given . to children who are in need. Some of them will be given to people in Conway; others will be sent to some charity associa- tion, who will send them to mothers who haven't time or money to make enough clothes to keep their children warm.
 The making of these little clothes will be splendid training for the girls in the class. It will teach them to make dainty seams and pretty hand work.

ROAD AMENDMENT
 DEFEATED BY l,5O0 FRAMERS TO TRY AGAIN
Legislation for Improved Highways to be Discussed at Meeting to be
 Held Next Month.

Little Rock, Nov. 20.-For the want of about 1,500 votes, Amendment No. l4 which had for its object the build ing of good roads in Arkansas, has probably failed of adoption. With lG8,000 votes accounted for, the amendment received over &. 900 votes. It would require 84,000 to carry the amendment on these figures. There were 19,000 voters who failed to reg ister a vote on the subject, and had 800 of these voted for the amend ment, and all the balance against it, it would have been adopted with a majority of nearly 1000.
 While they are disappointed at com ing so close and losing. the good roads advocates are not in the least dis couraged. They are convinced that had the amendment not been the vic tim of a political attack, it would have received much more than the re- quired number to be adopted,
 There will be a meeting of the Arkansas County Judges Association in Little Rock early in December, which will be attended by the eXecu- tive committee of the Arkansas Good Roads Association, the Arkansas As sociation of Motor Clubs and others interested in road work, when good road legislation will he prepared for presentation to the legislature. It is highly probable that a measure sim liar to the defeated amendment will be offered the legislature, with the re- quest that it take the form of a con stitutional amendment and be submit ted to the people.
 Those who work for roads in Ar Kansas have assurance from the sttae officials elect, who will be members of the state board of election commis- sioners next time, that they will not mis-state the intent of any amend ment proposed, and will do all in their power to assist in it's adoption. This encouragement prompts them to get to work and have their measures ready for the opening of the legisla- tive session.

Little Rock, Nov. 20.-Arrange- ments are already being made to again initiate the measure, which, as Amendment No. 13, recently failed of adoption. The advocates of the initi- ative and referendum principles will make some changes in the measure, modifying it in some places, and sim plifying it all the way through in order that it's meaning will be easily grasped by the voters. The petitions will be prepared and circulated early in the year in order to assure the pro posed amendment a place on the ticket.

NORMAL HENDRIX
 CAME SEEMS SURE PEDACOCUES JOIN 4. "A.
Coach Estes Will Comply With Hendrix Terms to Get Game
 With Bulldogs.
Normal vs. Hendrix Thursday.

Normal vs. Hendrix Thursday.
 This announcement will be received with much rejoicing by the football enthusiasts of Conway. Coach Dan Estes has been dickering for a game with the Bulldogs since before the opening of the present season, but until he agreed to join the Arkansas Athletic Association Hendrix authori ties turned deaf ear to his proposals. Coach Estes Saturday applied for ad mission into the association, and he expects to receive an acceptance to- night.
 The Normal team has been idle since November 3, when it defeated Cumberland College at Clarksville, B to 0, two weeks after the Bulldogs trimmed the Mountaineers on Russell Field, 45 to o.
 Hendrix has had hard schedule this year. Already it has played eight games The team has been more or less handicapped by injuries since early in the season. In the game at Philadelphia Friday with Henderson Brown, five players were unable to render their best service, and as a result the Bulldogs lost, 19 to 0. Coach Bill Headrick hopes to get his charges in good condition for the Pedagogues, although at the best 1t is expected at least one and maybe others will be unable to play the en- tire game.
 Coach Estes said this afternoon that his team is not in the best ot condition, but that he expects to give the Bulldogs a stiff struggle. The practice sessions with the Teacher cites recently have all but knocked out two or three regulars.
 In the contest last year between the Educators and the Bulldogs, the Hendrix aggregation triumphed by score of 16 to '. The Normal has never won a football game from Hen driX.
 The game is expected to stir up much enthusiasm. Keen rivalry eX- ists between Hendrix and the Normal, and it doubtless will come to head the day of the big game. The town people are about equally divided in their sentiments.
 Full details of the contest have not been completed, Coach Estes said this afternoon. Although last years game was staged on Hendrix gridiron, the game may be played at the same place this year, as the Normal field IS not enclosed Efforts will be made to induce the merchants to close their stores during the contest, to give their salesmen an opportunity to Wit ness it.
 The Normal-HendriX game doubt less will be the biggest drawing card of the season.

Dear Sir: l am inclosing to you
some personal correspondence with
Senator A. B. Cummins and also state.
ments from him regarding his vote
on the agricultural extension bills.
These articles show his attitude to.
ward the Negro and toward the great
political questions that have arisen
With regard to the Negro voter in the
Southern states.
In sending these to you | nm ask.
ing of you two favors. First, please
be kind enough to publish them in
your excellent paper; second, kindly
study the senator's position and see
if he does not stand exactly where
the Negro citizens desire a president
to stand. and then let me know IL you
will give to him your support Ger the
high office which his friends are seek.
ing for him.

you consider the war amendments to
the federal constitution as dead let.
tiers so far as they affect the Negro
citizens of this country? If not. is
it your opinion that the Republican
party will enforce them in the future
If it is returned to power?
What is your attitude regarding the
re-enfranchisement of the Negro citi-
zens in the Southern states?
Do you not consider it unjust to the
loyal Negro Republicans of the South
10 cut down their representation in
the national convention and still al
low that great disproportion of rep
resentation to continue in the con-.
eress of the United tSates?
Are you not aware of the fact that
if justice were done to the Negro in
the South a number of the Southern
districts would send Republicans to
congress and that several OF the
Southern states would be debatable
ground in the presidential campaigns?
| submit these questions because l
am sure you do not desire us to sub
NIT to the domination of Tillman,
and Smith, who are keep.
ing the southern Negro out of pol
tics.

lmpulsively and Immediately | an.
swered that such a provision would
be better than the Jones amendment
and l still think so.
1t will do more to get part of this
money into the hands of the colleges
for colored people than the Jones
amendment.
Shafroth Immediately offered that
sort of an amendment to the original
bill, and it was adopted. Then Jones
amendment came up which would have
stricken out what l had already Sc.
cured and to which / had agreed, and
of course l had to vote against the

TO be enforced to the limit of federal
authority.
Whether the Republican party can
or will be able to pass such laws as
will make these amendments fully eff.
%fective it is utterly impossible for me
to predict. 1t is of course perfectly
well known to you that in most of the
southern states they have so framed
their constitutions that the discrimin.
alton is made in such a way that hith-
erto there has been found no plan
through which the desired result
could be attained. l believe, however,
that the Republican party will do what
ever a be done to better conditions
in that respect.
l consider it a great wrong, as !
have publicly declared many times, to
allow the South a representation upon
its population which includes the non
voting Negro men so long as their
constitutions and laws are so adjust
ed as to prevent the Negro from vot-
ing and that until this injustice is
repaired that representation in Con-
gress should be based upon the voting
population instead of upon the full pop
ulation. l do not consider it unjust
to cut down the representation of the
South in our National Conventions to
their voting strength, for | believe that
those who actually do vote are en-
tif1ad n annfrpI 4hn tln ,oIsa.o. -
the party to which they belong, and
| further believe that the change in
the basis of representation in Conven-
tions will be an influential force in
RESTORING to the Negro his full rights.
l am perfectly Ire that if the Negro
voted in the South as fully as he does
in the North that there would be
Southern states that at least would be
debatable ground in presidential cam
paigns.
In another letter the Senator writes:
Why / voted against the Jones
amendment to the agricultural extern
sion bill.
loNNo - iudI III Tic dSIlCul-
tural extension bill there was a pro-
vision that in those states which had
two OF more agricultural colleges, the
Legislatures of the states should de-
termine what colleges ought to have
the appropriation. Senator Jones of
Washington offered an amendment
which is a substantial copy of the law
relating to former appropriations to
agriculture colleges for colored peo-
pie.
Il was making a speech against the
provision in the bill permitting the
of the states to decide
where the appropriation should go, for
it was perfectly manifest that if the
were permitted to decide
the matter the colored colleges in the
South would get no benefit whatever.
Il must have made some impression
because during the course of my
speech Senator Shafroth of Colorado
'ose and said that he thought / was
light, and suggested instead of the
Zones amendment tie bill be so changed
hat 1t would require the joint act of
he Governor of the states and the
secretary Of Agriculture. and he asked
