MESSAGE TO TIE
VOTERS OF ARKANSAS

RROUGH, and his Managers says that Smith will
get more votes than Hodges
HODGES and his Managers say that Smith will
get more votes than Brough
From their own statcmcntit is evident that SMITH
will be the next Governor.
SMITH will leave Central Southwest and South
east Arkansas aiding his opponents by fifteen thous-
and majority going to North, Northeast and North
west where we expect him to increase his majority.
We have record several hundred straw votes TAX
en- in Arkansas during the past two weeks, which in
dcates the way the winds blowing The following are
few Of the important ones:
Straw votes taken at Traslwood in Saline county
gives Smith @5 out Of Al: the retiring Pulaski county

Of 30 were for Smith and the new panel that is now in
session shows they tandl9 Of "A for Smith Heb

HODGES says Brough is Machine Candidate.
The people say they tired of MUD SINGING,
and are going to VOTE FOR SMITH
AT the Joint Debate in Little Rock. March 18th,
Hodges and Brough forces admit that it was a SMITH
VICTORY
Their cherished hopes vanished. They have tried
to create the impression that Judge L. c. Smith is not
strong candidate but in thsattempt they have made
decided failure. Their own statements convict them
end they will not be hoodwinked by such deceptive
Campaign Thunder.
JUDGE SMITH has made a clean, dgnifed cam
pagn and has steadasy declined to be drawn into the
vortex OF the slime and filth that is so prevalent in this
Campaign He stands upon platform of Jefrersonian
trlnc'paS winch simply means the people to rule, and
IN this Campaign the people are with him and will elect
him by one of the largest maiorities ever poed for
candidate for governor in Arkansas
All he asks is that the people stand by him and help
him whip the politicians and political tricksters who
are endeayorng to keep the State Government in the
hands OF few politicians VIII have for years infested
the States Government
BEWARE! We have it from reliable sources that
1uuge onh opponents say they are going to circulate
plenty (meaning Campaign ioe) batvean now, and

their efforts, the people will not believe them.

FURTHER DECLINE
 IN NCOTTON PRICES
Less Optimistic View of Peace Prospects Contrib
 ute to Movement

New York, March 23-Reports of rains in the southwest and unsettled conditions in Mexico caused scattering liquidation in cotton here today. After selling at 12.03c early, July contracts, rallied to 1210c and broke to 1L9Sc in the late trad ing and closed at 1202c, with the general list closing steady at a net loss of 6 to Il points
 The market opened barely steady at a decline of to 10 points. Prices eased off another point or two on some positions checked somewhat by the steadiness of the near months attributed to buying by trade interests. Offerings seemed to in- crease on rallies of } or points from the lowest, however, and the market became more unsettled during the afternoon, with May contracts selling off to 11.S6c. October to 12.09c and December to 12.24c, or about 10 to 15 points under last nights closing figures. There were rallies of or points in the late trading on covering.
 The talk around the ring suggested that rather less optimistic view of immediate peace prospects might have contributed somewhat to the selling movement, and reports with reference to the situation in Mexico also tended to unsettle sentiment. In general way, however, traders were inclined to ascribe the greater part of the selling to liquidation of recent pur- chases made on the peace rumors and southwestern drouth complaints.
 There was no southern selling reported here and the trade buying of old crop months was again thought to be partly in the way of undoing hedges.

ATTRACTIVE CONCERT GIVEN
 BY CLuRS' JOINT CHORUS

The joint chorus of the Treble Clef and Music Study clubs rendered a most de- lightful concert last evening at the Tut wiler. This concert was given under the able direction of MT. William Gussen and was extended to the public in appreciation of their support in the musical attraction that the clubs have sponsored in the city.
 musical atmosphere and a spirit of music is fastly becoming eminent in the city, and was shown by the enthusiastic audience last evening. and it is vastly due to the interest and work of these clubs in trying to create that spirit.
 The clubs were assisted by Miss Rose Fabian, violinist, and MT. Erin Farley, baritone soloist. Miss Beatrice Tate was accompanist for the chorus and Miss Fan re May Poynter will accompany the so- lost.
 The following programme was rem dered:

DECIDED SETBACK
 OF WHEAT VALUES
Submarine Activities Effect Wheat Prices and Sharp
 Break Follows

Chicago, March 23.-Renewed activity oi submarines causing the loss of four ships two of them from the United States, had considerable to do today with a setback in the value of wheat The market closed heavy, 14d9sc to 1Ac net lower, with May at $1oS and July at s1.05i4. Corn finished 1a4c to 21sQ214c down, oats off 14dasc to 9sc, and provisions varying from un- changed figures to decline of 15c.
 Bearish effects of German torpedo oper- ations were much more apparent in the wheat trade than was the influence of rains in Texas and Oklahoma, where drouth has of late been a serious handi- cap to the development of the wheat crop. The rains brought about a downturn in prices here at the start, but the market soon rallied despite advices of some inn provement of field conditions in Missouri. For the most part the strength shown on the upturn was due to assertions that northwest seeding would be late and the acreage decreased. Reports were also current. however, that foreigners were buying future deliveries here and at Win nipeg.
 Sharpest breaks in the price of Wheat followed the announcement of a second vessel from the United States having been destroyed by submarine. This time the market showed little or no power to re- cover and the final transactions were at virtually the lowest level of the day A wave of selling in the corn trade added material to the embarrassment of the wheat bulls as the session came to an end.
 Heavy liquidating sales by holders carried corn decidedly down grade. Big stocks here and the absence of an ade- quate outlet seemed to have grown toe burdensome, especially after wheat began to break. Liberal sales of corn to man ufacturers of alcohol and only a tempor- ary bullish effect Oats displayed sym pathy with the action of corn. The trad ing in oats was almost wholly of a local character.
 Provisions were weakened by the de- pression in grain. All strong spots in the market were taken advantage of to secure profits for owners of lard and ribs

EASY UNDERTONE ! ON COTTON MARKET
Seriousness of Mexican Sit uatiOn and Lessened Spot
 Demand Effect Market

New Orleans, March 23-Rains in Texas and expectations of a complete breaking of the drouth in that part of the belt gave the local cotton market an easy under tone today. At the lowest prices fell to a level Il to 12 points under yefterday' s closing quotations. The close today was a net loss of to Il points,
 The market stood at the decline throughout the session, showing only par tial recoveries in it's strongest periods. There were times when fresh buying was in evidence, but no real buying power developed at any stage. At the highest of the day prices were still at net loss of to 6 points on the most active months.
 The growing seriousness of the Mexican situation and reports of a lessened spot demand were also against the market and served to restrict demand. Late in the day the gossip of the market was that offering of spots on a more liberal scale, but this was not reflected in local spot quotations, the local market holding steady at unchanged quotations with mid- ding at 12c.
