MAY ABOLISH LEAP YEAR
Movement on Foot Which viii BE OF
Considerable Interest*ef Great
Numbers Of PeoMe.

For the benefit Of those individuals
who in February celebrated their
first birthday since 1912 and who
may feel more or less resentful be-
cause they have only one birthday
while everyone else is having four, let
this be word of cheer. They may
regain their lost birthdays.
If a group of volunteer calendar
reformers have their way, February
80, 1916, will go down in history as
the last February 30. If the Euro
pean war could have been postponed
a year or two there possibly would
have been no February 20 this year
The war interrupted the integpa-
tional congress to revise the calen-
dar, which had just been called to do
away with leap year, unequal months
and other mistakes generally at
tributed to Julius Caesar and Pope
Gregory XIII.
This congress was to have rear
ranged the whole calendar into 13
months of four weeks each. Every
month would begin on Sunday and
end on Saturday. Thirteen months
of % days each would account for
1854 days Of the year. The extra day
would be tackled ON the end as a
world holiday.
Now, for the February 30 folk.
They will regain birthday, for the
reason that the whole calendar will
be jumbled and there will have to be
a new deal of birthdays for everyone

KIRBY is NAMED

Democratic State Central Committee Selects Associate

Little Rock, Oct. 6.-The Democrat
ic state central committee this after
noon nominated Associate Justice w

Clarke, to run in the general cleo
ton Nov. 7.
Within an hour after The adjourn
ment of the committee, Gov. Hays is
sued proclamation calling a special
election on Nov. for the purpose OF
filling the vacancy. He thereby de-
clared that the action of the commit
tee was satisfactory to him.
AT a meeting of the Republican
state central committee at 2 o'clock,
II. l.. Remmel was nominated for
United States senator, to be certified
out for the November election.
Three names were placed in nOmi-
nation before the Democratic commit
tee, after two hours Of sparring for
an opening. 1t seemed that all were
of the same mind, to protect the in
terests OF the party, but there was a
great divergence of opinion as to the
method Of procedure.

luton before the committee could
agree upon its course, and much Of
what was said and done proved TO be
of little direct application after the
action taken by Governor Hays.
1t was the opinion of practically all
who addressed the committee that no
chance should be taken, and that the
party should protect its own interests
by having the name Of nominee
upon the ticket at the general cleo
ton in November, even should the
governor call a special election for
some subsequent date.
Senator Robinson Talks.
Senator Joe T. Robinson presented
carefully prepared brief, in watch
he declared that the governor has
no power to fill the vacancy, even
temporarily, since the legislature has
failed to confer such power specific
ally, and existing statutes are not
broad enough 10 confer the authority.
He asserted that the senate will re-
quire an election before any one is
seated, and will seat any person who
receives the highest number of otes
at special election regularly called
by the governor, as the law provides.
He gave his opinion that the commit
tee might select a nominee or refer
the selection to a primary.
]. H. Carmichael, J. F. Loughbor-
ough, S. P. Turner, Henry Rector as
proxy for Dr.. Tribble, ]. d. Head, w.
NJ. Garden, Frank Pace, c. c. Calvert
and others Joined in the discussion.
While there was a great contrariety
of opinion, all were together when
the smoke of the skirmish cleared
away, and united in working for
Democratic success on Nov. Z.
After it was decided to make the
nomination, motion prevailed that
it be the sense of the committee that
the governor be requested to call Il
special election, with sufficient time
to enable the committee to call a pri-
mary.
The action of the governor a few
minutes later in calling a special
election on Nov. will prevent the
holding Of primary, as there is not
sufficient time.
The statement was made in the
committee that the governor held
the whip hand over the situation,
and practically had the power to die
tate the next senator.
An invitation was sent the gov
ernor to appear before the commit
tee, but he declined to appear, as his
mind was made up as to the course he
would pursue.
