Judsonia weekly advance., 1916-10-11

There is difference of opinion as to whether a senator can be elected at the November election" MT. Pace said Some Democrats in this audi ence have said they believe he could be. Since that is the case and the next Senate might. be Republican, it behooyes this committee to take no chances. It is our duty to nominate candidate for the November cleo tion, and then, if a special election is called later, call a primary to nomi- nate candidate. We must be sure there is no chance for Arkansas to send a Republican senator to Wash ington against the will of majority of the voters, who are Democrats"

 Here's Perry County Again.
 The committee took action to settle the latest Perry county political fight. July 25 the committee ordered a spe- cial primary to elect new Perry County Central Committee to settle dispute as to the eligibility of some members. The committee selected Sheriff John o. Allen and J. H. Bow en, representing the two factions, to select officials and call the election. The election was held September 30. Members of the Perryville faction ap- peared before the committee to pro- test against two members of the Per ry county committee elected by the Bigelow faction, on the ground that they are Republicans. The State Gen. tral Committee adopted resolution authorizing Chairman House to ap- point committee of four members, and himself as ex-officio chairman, to settle the dispute. The members were: E. T. Toler of Sheridan, J. s. Yarnell of Searcy and MT. Dunlap The committee will hear the case in Little Rock some time soon
 l Legal Views Expressed.
 Soon after the committee was call ed to order, Chairman House asked the opinions of several attorneys and of Senator Robinson as to the legal situation confronting the party. J. H. Carmichael of Little Rock, J. F.. Loughborough of Little Rock and Sen ator Joe T. Robinson spoke. MT. Car michael expressed the views previous l ly published that an appointment would not be legal; that the commit tee had authority to nominate a can didate, and that it was debatable question whether special election should be held or a candidate elect ed at the November election. MT. Loughborough agreed, except he said he held the opinion, supported by sections of the Arkansas constitution, providing for filling vacancies in other departments of the government; that a special election would not be legal because there is time to nominate a candidate and elect him at the gen. !eral election.
