E. L. McNew and c. r. Blythe made
a business trip to Conway last week.
l wonder if Governor Brough would
make a loan of $4,000 to me, to be
paid back in $25 payments? Someone
please see, as would like to go into
business of some kind myself. Surely,
this man is not going to immigrate
into this state, run for the governors
office, get it, and then make a loan
business out of the state treasury. If
it was some poor boob that got this
money he would have been in the pen
serving his term.

since he began drinking Hot Springs
water.
We notice in the papers that w. H
Taft has returned home, and reports
that the south is ready for war. We
want to inform this Republican that
he failed to see and converse with a
few of the southerners, and wish tc
add that few of the south's inhab-
itants are not ready for war. We be-
lieve our peaceful southland would
have been better off had he never made
his appearance. If Mr.. Taft wants tc
fight let him fight We were raised
by God-fearing parents, ourselves, and
do not want to fight. If our county
gets into war with Germany l wonder
if Mr.. Taft will be on the firing line
II dare say no, and never will be, I'M
less conscripted.

On next Saturday, April IA, Demo
cratic voters of Faulkner county vii
hold a primary election to nominate
delegates to the state constitutional
convention, to meet next November
Two delegates-at-large from the
Fifth congressional district, of which
Faulkner is one of the counties, will
be nominated, and for these two
places Judge Joseph w. House of
Little Rock and Oscar II. Wilson of
kusseilville have no opponents.
For the position of delegate from
Faulkner county DR.. John H. Rey-
nolds, president of Hendrix. College,
and James H. Dunn, an att rney of
Conway, are candidates, and tie Dem
ocratic voters will decide on Satur-
day which of these two gentlemen
the county shall send to represent her
In the convention
Believing that Faulkner county
should be represented by one of her
biggest and brainiest men, the Log
Cabin Democrat, soon after the law
calling the convention was enacted,
urged that we should call DR.. Rey-
nolds to this service. The sugges-
ton met with hearty response among
the people and so many of them So
licited DR.. Reynolds to become can
didate that he felt it his duty to re-
spond to the call and consented to
offer for the place.
AS the Log Cabin Democrat has
previously said, DR.. Reynolds is pc
sculiarly fitted for this important po-
sition. He is native of Faulkner
county, born and reared on farm,
and understands the needs of the
farming people, who compose the
bulk OF our population. He is an ed
ucator of national renown and has had
experience in every kind of institu-
ton from the one-room country
school to the greatest universities of
the United States and Europe.
Faulkner having always been one of
the most progressive counties educa-
tionally in the state and Conway be-
ing the site of three great state,
schools, it is appropriate that this
county should send an educator to the
convention-and, so far as is known,
DR.. Reynolds is the only member of
the teaching fraternity in the state
who is candidate for delegate. A
further qualification is his profound
knowledge of constitutional law,
gained from lifelong study and
teaching of the constitutions of all
the states of America and of the ma
lions of the world. He is an unusu-
ally gifted public speaker, convinc-
ing debater and polished orator.
Most important of all, he is Christ
ian gentleman of deep and abiding re-
ligious conviction, yet withal not
narrow or sectarian in his views.
Against Mr.. Dunn personally the
log Cabin Democrat has nothing to
say, We believe he simply does not
measure up to the stature of the man
to whom we should delegate the i'm
portant duty of writing our funda-
mental laws. The same may be said
of thousands of other good men in
the county.
In the state coiiy entio..; DR.. Rey-
nolds will at once, by sheer force of
great intellect and an exceptional
personality, take front rank and be
recognized as one of the few leaders
who, in all assemblies, express and
crystalline the thought of the body
He will be representative of whom
the county will be justly proud. The
