BIG PRIMARY TICKET.

The ticket for the Democratic
state primary to be held on March
% vas closed 1T midnight Tuesday
1t Is the longest state ticket that has
been submitted to the people in
years, if not the longest yet. since it
contains many things that have ney-
er been voted for before The chief
interest aside from the balletina On
state officials is in the selection Of
the delegates 10 the National Con
veHtion and the election Of the vi.
tional Committeeman. There is
much speculation on tile character
of men that viii be chosen by the
people to represent them at the St.
Loais convention For he first time
they will come direct from the PEG
pie. rather than from The state con
veatfon. which Is now shorn Of prae-
tieally al its old pr4rogatives ex-
.cept TO declare results and TO draft
the platform.
Md speaking Of platforms what 5
the use? It has gotten to a point in
practical politics THAT platforms are
written only TO be ignored when il
suits the politician Recent state
conventions have declared most en-
phatically for some things which

NOT LIKE THE OLDEN DAYS.
tBy Clio Harper. /,

10y llO f1dI per.
Little Roc, Feb. ga perusal of
the columns OF the Arkansas Ca
zette in the early territorial days
of the POS will prove to the most
casual reader that the kind of poli-
tics THAT is being served up to news
paper readers in Arkansas now il
mere child's play in comparison With
/ the kind that engaged the attention
Iof the rough and ready practitioners
/ of those days. To be sure. we are
/ hearing today the charges, freely
made, that this. that or the other
candidate is thief a crook
''taxdodger. n Yankee or some
thing else equally horrible. Bur The
people refuse 10 become excited about
/ it. IN the early days politics was
really a personal matter. candidate
or faction might publish about aaoth-
er. If they got too strong there
might be a duel and a Job for the
undertaken. but that was all in The
days work.
The Arkansas campaign is warm
ing up with the election only five
weeks off. and the chief bitterness
has developed in the races for Gov
ernor and Auditor OF State Charge
and eoHHter-eharge are being passed
back and forth between Dr. Brough
and Secretary Hodges. and Gov. Hays
is Figuring in the controversy as
prepayment of the Secretary. In the
Auditors race, the charges of mis-
conduct IN office" made when { NJ.
Coffman resigned as book-keeper hav
not yet been cleared up. The miss
ing poll tax receipts, alleged by Sher-
iff Oliver. DR.. Dickinson S opponent,
form the bone of contention that
adds interest to what might have
otherwise been as devoid of thrills
as the races fer Secretary of State,
Superint endent Of Public Instruction
and Attorney General.
The only change in the minor rae
es is the withdrawal of r. p. Allen
from the race for Railroad Commits
sioner of the Northwestern District.
and the entrance of E. L. McHan-
ey, young lawyer of Little Rock.
The other contestants are Oscar
Winn of Little Rock and Walter
Brasher of Dardanelle. Oscar VIM
who has run for office before. has
set most high standard of qualifica-
tions for those who would fill that
office. He says:
TO be Railroad Commissioner
requires the skill of stairbuilder,
the are Of an engineer, the eye Of
an artist. the genius of mathema-
tieian, the constructive ability Of a
maehinist. the executive vision Of a
pilot. and the judicial fairness Of a
Goddess of JUSTICE
And yet there are men who are
willing . tackle the Job
