SENATOR GORE SAYS
OKLAHOMANS WANT
DRAFT LAW REPEALED

Washington, Aug. 20.-The new anti
foreign war move launched by Senator
Gore of Oklahoma is an amendment to
the revenue bill offered Saturday, ac-
cording to a statement made by the sen
ator. reflects the desires Of many citi-
zens of his state, who are not only
against war. but who, he says, want the
selective draft law repealed.
The Gore amendment which has not
the slightest chance Of being adopted
by either branch of congress, would
permit the expenditure of no money to
be raised by the revenue bill to trans
port overseas for military purposes any
drafted citizen Of the United States, un-
less such citizens has volunteered for
the service.
The provision would not be applica-
BILE to the national army alone, but COW
ers the National Guard, all Of whom
have been drafted into the federal serv.
ice.
Admits VIII Fail.
Senator Gore admits that his amend.
ment has no opportunity of being
adopted. but contends it was the best
he could do toward meeting the wishes
of people in Oklahoma who have peti.
toned him. He does not contend that
the wishes referred to represent a ma
jority in the state, but that the senti-
ment is WIDESPREAD.
Senator Gore refers to the poll on the
issue of war which he took before the
declaration Of hostilities. showing four
to one against it. Were the question
submitted now, he says, it would show
nine to one against war
Just prior to this poll Senator Owen
gathered sentiment Of the state through
commercial clubs Of the principal cities
and towns OF the state, and that showed
an overwhelming sentiment in favor OF
no longer tolerating the indignities Of
the Imperial German government. Many
Of the responses expressed surprise that
the country's patience had so long en-.
dured

Everyone is feeling better since the rain, which fell last night.
 A crowd of young folks from Lono motored to Midway Sunday to be at the Association there was large crowd, fine dinner and splendid preaching. Bro Bogard preached at II o'clock, we think he is as good as any we ever heard speak, he expond- ed the truth so plain that mere child should undestand. We think that he did justice to his congregation, where Missionary Baptists have two chances to every other denomination one.

TREASURY DEPT. TO
 ISSUE CIRCULAR

Washington D. c. Oct. 9-The Treasury Department intends in the very near future to issue circular setting forth the method to be used ln converting fifteen, thirty year, three and one half per cent Liberty Loan bonds into fifteen thirty year four per cent bonds. This announcement was made today by Secretary McAdoo in response to numerous requests as to how the conversion should be under taken.
 The terms of the three and one half per cent. bonds require that an inter- est adjustment be made on each and every bond converted. The Treasury Department has devised a way where by this adjustment of interest can, in a large measure, be made without the actual payment of any cash by the holder of the bond to the government, or vice versa.
 Holders of the three and one half ner cent bonds are reminded that the date of issue of the new bonds into which their bonds will be convertible is November 15, and that no conver- sions can be actually accomplished prior to that date. An opportunity will be given, however, MT. McAdoo said, to the holders of the three and one half per cent. bonds to deposit their bonds for conversion several weeks in advance of the actual date of issue

". E. MCGOWAN FOR
 SHERIFF AND COLLECTOR

We call attention of our readers to- day to the announcement of w. k. Me Cowan, of Donaldson, as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Sheriff and Collector of Hot Spring county.
 Mir. McCowan needs no introduction to the voters at our hands having been resident of this county all of his life and has many friends in the different townships who are rallying to his SUD- port in his race for this most import ant position
 He was born in DeRoche township where he resided until three years ago, when he moved to Donaldson, Ouachita township, and where he now resides. He is farmer by occupation and has never held public office, but has always been active where the in- terests of the Democratic party were involved. In 1914 he made the race for this position and was only defeat ed by a narrow margin of GA votes. After this excellent race, he gave way to the old democratic principle and did not seek the office in the last cam- paign, but promised his friends he
 
 would be in the race at this time. During his race for sheriff in 1914, MT. McCowan advocated paying jurors and witnesses, dollar for dollar for their fees, and his friends say he was the first to advocate this principle.
 He received his education in the public schools of the county and prom ises, if elected, to give the people of Hot Spring county a safe, sane and business administration. His record among his home people is that he is a man worthy of the confidence of the people, and in every way competent to fill the position to which he aspires.
 Mir. McCowan will endeavor to see as many of the voters as possible be- l tween now and the election next l Spring, and announces at this time in order that his friends in the differ ent parts of the county may know that he is definitely in the race, and ex- poets to be heard from, when the cam paign gets in full sway.
 We urge our readers, when cast l ing about for candidate for the Dem ocratic nomination for Sheriff, to con slider well, the qualifications and tht claims which Mr. McCowan presents for this office.
