the report os the Legislative Commit tee, and the severe arraignment of pr. Dickinson, incumbent, by MT. Oliver
 MT. Oliver comes into this race af- ter eight years continuous service as 8 county officer of his native county, Ashley, and with practically the solid endorsement of his home people. They say he has made an enviable record as an officer, both as county clerk and as sheriff. He has never been defeated for office, and thus far his opponent has found nothing in his ofi- cial record to assaii. It is needless to say that if there were anything crooked about MT. Divers service as an officer, Dr. Dickinson would have found 1t long ago, as he has had men in Ashley county for some time trying to dig up something against him. Any report that the Doctor might circulate against MT. Oliver now, however, would doubtless oe received by the people with suspicion, for they realize that eleventh hour reports against . candidate are generally based on

MR. OLIYFR'S CHARGES
 ARE NOT DISPROYEN
One of pr. DIokinson's Hardest Ob- stacIes Has Been His Appointment of "Bill'' Stoddard as Chief Deputy in Ills Office-Mr. OIiver's Record Ia Above Reproach.

Since the gathering of the political leaders of the State for the Brough-
 Hodges debate here last Monday, 1t Is being freely predicted that Hon. Ho- gan Oliver, candidate for State Adui- tor, will defeat his opponent by an overwhelming majority. Leaders were here from practically every county in the State and election forecasters had an opportunity to feel out the sit uation pretty thoroughly. Although by some the auditors office is consid- developed unusual interest recently on

It is stated that there are three candidates for justice of the peace of DeView township, viz, the two present incumbents L. B. Winfree of this city and A. J. Stapp of DeView, and J. W. Neeley of this city. It has al- ways been customary for Me- Crory and DeView to each elect one justice. We make mention of this so that the voters at Me- Crory will understand that the race here between Messrs. Win free and Medley is for the J. P. office in this end of the town ship.

O. one year in a federal penitentiary. Stoddard didn't like the hard labor" part of the sentence, however, so he succeeded in getting that remitted, came back home and now he is chief deputy in one of the most important offices in the State Capitol, by ap pointment of M F. Dickinson.
 This of itself ought to disqualify Dr. Dickinson as a candidate for this office It is an insult to the honest, upright, intelligent manhood of the State for him to appoint a self-con fessed criminal and felon as his chief deputy, when there are thousands of straightforward, deserving young men in the State from whom his depu ty might have been chosen. Every warrant on the State Treasury has to be drawn and signed by the auditor or his deputy While Dr. Dickinson ia out over the State making his cam. paign Mr. Stoddard writes and signs these warrants. No citizen would en. trust his check book, with full power to draw checks, to a man like StOd' dard, and it is outrageous for man who holds the position Dr. Dickinson holds to appoint him chief deputy with full power to draw on the State Treasury whenever he gets ready to do so. It is time for a change.
 Really MT. Divers campaign is a fight for good government, and in this fight every good citizen of tae State should rally to his support. pr. Dick inson cannot say that he did not know the history of MT. Stoddard, for they were born and reared in adjoining counties and have known each other almost all of their lives. He appointed his chief deputy knowing the charac- ter of man he was, and although he has been repeatedly criticised for 1t, he still retains him. There is no ex-- planation for it except the old adage that birds of a feather flock to- gether."
 The only way to correct this sad condition of affairs at our State Capi- tol is for the good citizens of the State to vote SOllUly dSdlu6I LII. DIChIASOu in his alleged race for reelection" and give better man a chance. MT. Oliver has made good as county off, cial No word of just criticism has ever been uttered against him, and we may safely assume that he will be as true to the principles of clean, hon. est, faithful public service as a State official as he has been as county officer It Is gratifying indeed to know that every indication points to his election by an overwhelming ma jority When he takes charge of the office the people may be sure that he will not select as his chief deputy a man whose hands are soiled by theft, whose life is blackened by crime. He will be under undue obligations to no man nor set. of men. He has gone straight to the people with his claims, and when they elect him he will be able to meet every one of them on the same footing. They are entitled

On the other hand, MT. Divers op- the race with very questionable rec
 ord as a public officer, and with little support from his home people. He was frequently in the limelight while the Legislative Investigating Committee of the Legislature of 1915, was audit. ing the books of the State officers, and the notoriety he got at that time was very adverse to him. The people of the State have not forgotten these things, and the sentiment is strongly in favor of retiring the Doctor to pri- vate life, where he will no longer have opportunity to play fast and loose with the peoples interests.
 Dr. Dickinson's only hope seems 10 lie in his efforts to fool the people and make them think he Is running and cards he is scattering every where, he poses as 8 candidate for 're-election" or for second term" The people generally know that his claim is false, and doubtless will re- sent it on election day. He has never been elected to any state office. He was superintendent of the State Rock Crusher by appointment. He was sec retary of the State Highway Depart ment by appointment. And when State Auditor Coffman resigned about a year ago, Governor Hays appointed Dr. Dickinson to fill out his unexpired term. He says that by Democratic pre- cedent he Is entitled to second term but there has never been any Demo cratic precedent in this State, whereby an officer who is merely appointed to fill out the unexpired term or one who has resigned should succeed himself. The fact that he was able to pull po litical wires and get himself appointed aor ent1tle him to any more considers t1on at this election than any one else who might aspire to the office.
 MT. Oliver has brought numerous charges of violation of official trust against Dr. Dickinson, and thus far the Doctor has neither denied nor ex- plained those charges. If they were not true he doubtless would have de- n1ed them or if they could be ex- plained he would have explained them. The fact that he has neither denied nor explained proves conclu. sively that they are true Every charge brought by Mr. Oliver is abund- antly supported by the records, and that probably is the reason the Doc tor has not seen fit to answer them. He says these charges are perverted mudslinging," but it is not mud. singing" to tell the simple, unvar nished truth about 8 mans record as public officer. The people have right to know the record an officer makes. He makes his record, and he must stand on it. If he has so con, ducted himself in office that he merits adverse criticism, he has no one to blame but himself, and his opponent not only has the right, but it is his duty to inform the people about it. MT Oliver has not attacked his private life or character, and he has told only the truth, and this he had right to tell.
 One of the hardest obstacles that Dr. Dickinson has to overcome is the fact that as soon as Governor Hays appointed him auditor he, Dickinson, appointed Wm. Stoddard as his chief deputy. MT. Stoddard came original. ly from Craighead county. The crimi nal docket of that county shows that Stoddard has been frequently ar. raigned in court charged with various and sundry crimes, including bur
