the campaign at Melbourne, at the | opening of the Izard county circuit court, and his speech is to be printed | for general distribution. He will speak Wednesday at Fayetteville and then return to the north for cam paign of several weeks under the aus pices of the national committee. He expects to spend the last few weeks of the campaign at home, making speeches for the success of the party in the few localities where there is any opposition.
 J. w. House, Jr., of Little Rock, chairman of the Democratic state cen tral committee, who has general charge of the campaign, assisted by T. J. Terral, Democratic nominee for Secretary of State, is giving much time and attention to the success of the party. In an interview given to the Parke- Harper News Service, Mr House said:
 1t is just natural for Arkansas to go Democratic. Every state nominee is always elected by large majorities, but in times past there have been a few counties in the Northern part of the state that go Republican, wholly or in part It is to be our purpose to bring these back into the Democratic fold this fall, and thereby make 1t unanimous.
 II have given some thought and in- Ivestigation to the National campaign and its outcome in November. 1 pre- dict the reelection of President Will son by much larger majority than has ever been given any president yet, passing my prediction largely upon the great things he has accom- plished during this administration. | Among the greatest of these is the currency legislation, and many other constructive pieces of legislation could be named In former years, had such legislation been enacted, the people would have thought very little about the merits or demerits, and the country would have gone Republican by force of habit. But all that Is changed The people are demanding more and more to be sighted and to see just what has been done in their favor. Appreciating that fact, l am confident that our greatest American will be returned to the White House. I have been securing information from all sections of the country, and find that President Wilson is growing in strength everywhere.
 "There is a greater prosperity to- day in the country than ever before. or at least for the last twenty years. All the banks are full of money. The banks are ready to lend money, any amount that is needed, on good col lateral. All the financial needs of the country are being met. Go into the country, and what do you find? You find cribs full or corn, smoke-houses full of bacon, pens full of fat hogs and yards full of chickens. No farm CT feels that he is dependent upon any one. Does not that indicate genuine financial healthfulness of Ar kansas and the United States?
 Justice Hughes has nothing to talk about that he could even distort into an issue. and has not been able to criticise the administration save in general way. He has talked himself down and yet has said nothing. He has made a long campaign from coast to coast, but when you make a close examination you can not even find his trail.
 "The state campaign is going along fine. We are preparing to send out corps of strong speakers into the counties that need our assistance, and will send few to other places to help oct out a big vote. We have a small campaign contribution on hand and shall try to pay the expenses of the speakers as far as we can. Every thing is in fairly good working order, and when the campaign IS opened, It will be prosecuted vigorously until the polls close on Nov. 7 l believe that this wear we shall be able to carry every county in the state, even the few that have been going Republican. We can do this with the earnest CO.,
