Address Written by L. D. Caudle
 for The Dynamo"

Often have l swept backward
 in imagination six thousand years and contemplated with
 wonder and admiration the hero. ic characters stationed along the pathways of life and the high ways of progress, .mighty senti- nels, who, by their deeds of valor and bravery. have lifted them selves forever above the medioc- rity ot men and have encircled themselves with haloes of undy- ing fame. The greater persent- age of these characters have been men whom we choose for for some cause to call orators.

Candidate for Chancellor for the
 9th Chancery Circuit
To the Democratic Voters of the
 Sixth Chancery District:

toAAAh AhuhNSiy DAoNA AeN
 I have only one opponent in this race, namely, the Honorable James D. Shaver, who aspires to a fourth term. He has been hon. ored with public office for tWen- ty-tWo years; he was one term representative; two terms pros ecuting attorney, and has been for sixteen years Chancery Judge. He has no right to con- plain of public generosity. This office belongs to the people, and the people should be free to se- lect whom they please.
 I have made a canvass of each County, and have been encour- aged by the approval and assur- ance of the voters in both coun- try and town. With the excep- tion of lawyers, representing large interests, bankers and capitalists, l hear of little oppo- sition to my candidacy. Of .course 1 could not expect many of the lawyers having important cases before Judge Shaver to take an active stand against him in my behalf, so 1 shall expect at least pretended opposition from many of this source and 1 must rely upon the masses of the peo- pie for my open support.
 AS to my qualifications, if either of the Supreme Judges, the Federal Judge of the Vest ern District of Arkansas, or the present or former Circuit Judge of my Judicial District will say that 1 am not competent to fill this office, I will withdraw from the race. l refer you to any of them, and especially J. M. Car ter and Judge Vim. F. Kirby of the Supreme Court, who are my strong supporters in this race. Then if this be true the people will in no way suffer a loss by making a change, so l appeal to you as democratic citizens to join in an effort to re-instate the tradition of the party by elect ing, at least, an occasional poli- tical officer from among the peo- pie, and in doing so you will not only purify the political atmos- phere, but will open the door of opportunity to your sons and neighbors fos tering their ambi- tion by some promise of prefer ment, thus making every citizen interested in the selection of public officers, and the general welfare of our country. If the officers are public trusts we should occasionally exercise the right to replace the old with the new.
 In conclusion, if you will give me your support l promise you a faithful public service and my highest appreciation of every trust and confidence reposed in me.
 Respectfully submitted. (Signed)
 NJ. F.. SANDERSON.

Candidate for Auditor of the
 State of Arkansas.

l earnestly solicit your sup port and influence in my race for Auditor of State, for a second term, and in so doing 1 invite a close inspection of my record as an official for the past year, that I have had the honor to hold the office. 1 have tried to conduct the affairs of the office in a busi- ness-like manner, with courteous treatment to all, and refer you to your county officials as to whether 1 have made good or not, as they have more or less business with the office, and know of the manner in which 1 have conducted same. As sec retary of the Confederate Pen sion Board, l have favored as liberal allowance to the old sol diers, as the funds in the State Treasury would permit, and l believe with the additional tax which was placed on by the last Legislature, the old soldiers and their widows who are on the pension roll, will be paid 100  cents on the dollar, by 1917, at any rate. l have gathered around me an office force of capable and competent clerical men, who are always ready to show the public every courtesy within their power.
 The mud-slinging tactics of my opponent is being condemned by the best citizens of the state. and have proven his charges false, by a committee of reliable business men, who found that there was nothing wrong with the poll tax receipts, and invite close inspection of my office by any one who desires to be in- formed on the matter. am try ing to conduct my campaign on a high plane. without a word of criticism of my opponent, and if you believe in this kind of po- litics, and that a man is entitled to second term, when he has made good during the one year he has been in office, then will ask you to vote for me
 From reports from my friends in different parts of the Stata. l have the race Vor, bat I urge my friends in this county to be on the lookout for any fa}so statements about me. aa my opponent and his hired managers are capable of doing most any thing to try and pull himself in this race.
 Yours for clean politics.

 Candidate for Auditor of State.

one has, ventured 10 say that
 oratory is dynamic thought, cloth
 ed with flowers h of rhetoric.
 There are no hard and fast rul-
 es to which speaker must con-
 form in order to qualify as an
 orator. Orator is an attractive
 and enchanting word, yet when spoken leaves no clear conception
 in thesminds,of. men.
 Christ was an orator of the
 simplest andapurest type as evil
 denced by his Sermon on the
 Mount. <. This oration has offered consolation" to-. dying souls and
 has created an imperishable style of compositionFfor speakers Cf successive !. generations. It Is eminently noted for it's concise ness and beauty. Many men have established for themselves the everlasting name of orator by quotations from Holy Writ.
 Lincoln, when in2debate with the mighty Douglass, had search ed in vain the whole field of pro. fane literature for an expression with which.to humble his politi- cal opponment; but when he quot ed from the peerless orator "A house divided against itself can. not stand" he struck the respon- sive chords of the hearts of men, and cameifrom the field of polit- ical battle with the trophies of war, the name of orator. The expression was appropriate to prevalent conditions, and was instrumental in yielding an in- fluence over the destinies of men and the fates of nations.
 A true.orator is an artist of words; and a real oration, Wheth- CT oral or written, should be picture indelibly imprinted upon the plastic canvas of the souls art gallery. t. Every flower, each drop of dew, each flake of snow, the curling smoke the lowering clouds, the bright sun, the pale moon, the twinkling stars at mid night speak in eloquent language of theTgrand hand that made them. What mind is so obtuse upon which these words do not make a clear and lingering i'm pression?
 Apparently the golden age of oratoryshas'passed. AS long as of people have common interests and convene for discus sion of these interests oratory will exist. That, as some oratar has said, will be till mountains are worn out and rivers forget to flow.
 Orators are made not born. It is true that asman may come in- to this world with oratorical pro. inherited from his an cestors, yet he can not lay claim to the merit of being an orator until he has increased and devel- oped his powers and practice.
 Men who have attained the greatest success in oratory have been men who were born under an unfavorable auspice and grew up under adverse condition.
 Oratory in tie true sense of the word is the greatest educational assert that man can possess.
 There is no monopoly on orato- ". The poorest peasants boy may rise to be the most eloquent man of his land. Who knows but that some barefoot boy of today may some day be the only support of nation as great as or greater than ours, by reason of his ability to sway the masses with his convincing powers of speech?

ing is to be erected before the
opening of the September term.
The district has also enlarged the
school grounds and now have five
acres. a first class high school Is
To be maintained providing free
tuition to all pupils OF the coun-
ty who have been promoted from
the eighth grade. With free
high school tuition at Hickman,
Fulton, Cayee and Sylvan Shade,
We hope to have more pupils in
high school this year than ever
before.
The state school per capita for
this year viii be 800, which
means that we viii have seven
months term. Supt. Gilbert
thinks now that the seven months
term viii be u permanent thing
This is only l5c decrease in the
per capita from last year.
Attention is called To the fact
that compulsory attendance law
was made more effective by the
last legislature. Children must
attend school, otherwise their pa
rents are liable to fine and i'm
prisOnmemt. Half OF our rural
schools are now IN session. If
any children in these districts
have any excuse for non attend
