avowed candidate for governor svei since he began paying his poll tax
 If the professor voted In the va. rfous city. school, congressional, gen. erl and primary elections the i've years he failed to pay his poll tax, he committed each time an lndictable of. fense. If he did not vote he was ders- lict in his duties as citizen, and is not worthy or the support of the tax pers for any position, much lees for governor of the great State of Arkan- sas. He has been professor of poll. tical economy in the university; his main idea of political economy ap- pears to be tax lodging.
 Great Teacher This.
 A great teacher to instill into the rising youths of the land the princi. pies of good government, when it ap. pears he himself was shirking the first principles of citizenship! He tries to compare himself with Wood. row Wilson (what shame!). He Is duo the president an apology. If he did go to school to Wilson, Wilson couldn't help it.; however, the facts are that he did not go to school to President Wilson, but was in another university where Wilson occasionally lectured. Woodrow Wilson was presi- dent of one of the greatest universities of America for many years. but Dr. Brough has never been mentioned, nor even thought of, by any of the univer. sity boards as being qualified for the position oI president of the University of Arkansas.
 am a native of Arkansas and have been Q taxpayer ever since was twen- ty-one years of age: do not believe the good people of Arkansas will de- feat me for governor and nominate a man who is merely passing through this State. have faith in the good people of Arkansas and I submit my candidacy to them.
 Very respectfully.

 ming for Governor.
To the People of Arkansas:

Te the People of Arkansas:
 The professor is strong for wanting to make other people pay their taxes. but he is weak on paying taxes hin- self. For the first six years the pro- lessor was in Arkansas Bleaching DO. litical economy in the university, he drew approximately $12.000 from the taxpayers of the state, and only paid one little measly dollar in taxes back to the state. The poll tax goes into the common school fund, to help sup port the common schools, and to edu- cate the little children of Arkansas. The following table, taken from the records of Washington county, shows that he did not pay one cent of taxes for the years 1904. 1905, 1906, 1907 and 1908, although he was being fed and clothed by the tax payers of Ar kansas during that time.

The News still has room for more announcements in it's col umn reserved for that purpose. If it gets full up we will run late corners over on the next col umn. No one knows for sure that you are running, even if you tell them yourself, unless they see it in the News. The News solicits no man to run for office, but will treat all aspir- ants with the best of service and with uniform fairness in getting their candidacy before the voters.

Since the withdrawal of Me Rae South Arkansas seems to be taking it's time about lining up. Those who immagine them selves to be political leaders are doing lots of talk, but the boys who do the principal part of the voting notice that the evidence keeps coming in and are in no
 particular hurry to rush out and declare themselves.

My commission expires February l. 1919.
 Dr. Brouph Paid No Poll Tax.
 The Doctor is strong for the Uni versity (paying him), but apparently does not care to help the common school fund himself.
 He talks about good roads, but for five years, while a resident of Arkan- sas. he did not pay any road tax, the only road he cared for, apparently, being the road to the state treasury. He loves Arkansas Sor what he can get out of the treasury, it seems. He came here to accept well-paying po- sition, and the chances are that when defeated in this race he may go West, where his fortune is located. He has been paid approximately $30.0O0 by the taxpayers of this state, and l un- derstand forwards his surplus money to the Utah National Bank, in Ogden, Utah, where he has wealth, estimated lars-thus not paying any taxes on this money in Arkansas, and depriv- ing the banks of Arkansas of this de- pOsit.
 Negroes to Be Assessors.
 He advocates the assessment of the real estate in Arkansas by the jus tices of the peace in each township, which he says will make everybody assess their property. It is well known that there are one hundred and fifty negro justices of the peace in South and East Arkansas. l know that the people in those sections are not for that plan. and that the white voters of the other parts of Arkansas will not force it upon their neiEhbors in that part of the State. am not in ia. vor of any new offices, but it might be we'll to employ some additional collec- tors in Washington County to help collect the poll tax from Professor Brough We should not be surprised that the professor advocates negro as sessors, as it is in line with his speech made in behalf of the negro race m Washington, D. C., in which he said that the white man should not object to being the winning part ner of the negro"
 Qualified Voter Only Six Years.
 The records of Washington County show that the professor has been a qualified elector of Arkansas only six years, although he has been drawing . high salary for twelve years; and everybody knows that he has been an

In another space will be found a
statement by II. X. Ferguson. demo
cratic candidate for representative
from Delta county. He is a man of
wide business experience although
just now in the prime of life. He NOV
ed to this county in 1891, from his
native state, Texas, his home being
Houston, where he was raised. Just
a young man he settled upon the
ranch which has been his home for
the past twenty-five years. All his in
terests are here and he is truly one
of Delta county's citizens. He early
engaged in the stock business and his
ranch home, "Texacolo" bears evi-
dence of his ability to make success
out of the raw material by his own in
dividual efforts. He has had business
relations with most OF the stockmen
of his locality.
He has for some years past been ac-
lively associated with The Delta Coun-
ty Cooperative Telephone company.
district Is he has rendered the public
service covering a period of some
years. District is ranks second in
financial condition as evidenced by
the deductions of the bipartisan lea
que. His connection with various
other business and public enterprises
in this county has resulted in wide
circle of acquaintances and friends.

secured the passage of the present
convict labor law. making it possible
to build roads with such labor. The
law has been copied all over the land.
II is recognized as model statute
which produces the highways and Is

victs opportunity to get away from
the grim gray walls and into the sun
shine The result is better roads and
permanent reformations among men
who otherwise might have sunk even
lower.

town builder who was willing to serve
the town he was building. In Flor

Then he went to the State Senate In
