Spring Hill, Ark, Feb. %.
want to call your attention to
the fact that the present Legis.
lature has passed an act calling
for a Constitutional Convention to
be held in November for the pur-
pose of framing a new Constitu.
tion for the State of Arkansas.
Under this act Hampstead Coun-
ty will be entitled TO two dele
gates. The men we select should
be men of integrity and having
the ability to represent this coun-
ty in an able manner / realize
that the people Of this county are
divided into two factions on ac-
count of the court house question
and that is my reason for writing
this letter. There should be no
squabbling over who should rep.
resent us and we ought, in JUS
tice to ourselves and our poster
ity, to get together on this mat
ter and select men who will rep
resent and be satisfactory to both
factions in the county. The men
who go will get nothing more than
expenses and what honor there
will be as delegates to this con
vention, and in view of the situa-
tion in this county | want to sug-
gest that we get together and Sc
lect o. A. Graves and l.. F. Mon
roe as the delegates from the
great county Of Hampstead.
These men have fought face to
face for their contentious in the
past and now let's put them to-
gether and let them fight side by
side for the common good of all
of us and ! believe Hampstead
county will be proud of the rec
ord they will make in this i'm
portant work for the people.
will be glad 10 have e1s- as-
'sfUns from the People about my
proposition through the papers.

HOPE HERALD
TO THE RESCUE
Resents Calling Citizens
Who Stole Poll Books
Thieves.

The (Hope) Arkansas Herald
makes another exhibition of it.
self i'm issue of Feb. 10: THE
Herald has not Intentionally made
a mistatement," says Puckins-
Perhaps not, but if not the Her
aid man has evidently gotten in
to bad company. The admissions
made by the Herald in the issue
mentioned above are quite sur
prise to us; the Telegraph Incl
dentally spoke of the parties who
stole the poll books as highway
men and now comes the Herald
and says we called citizens high
waymen and thieves. Now Pucky
dear if you know that citizens got
those poll books will you name
those citizens? If you don't some
one will suspect that you have
been misinformed again. The
court, in speaking of that matter,
did not vest the citizens" as
you are pleased to call them, with
the dignity of highwaymen-our'
recollection is that the court re
ferred to the parties who pulled
off that stunt as common THE.
yes" Now you may claim them
if you want TO.
The fact of the Herald party
having been in Hampstead county
only short time was mentioned
as an excuse for his ignorance of
the case. Now, Bro. Puckins, if
you don't know where you came
from, don't ask US; ;our time is too
short; you'll have TO excuse US,
as it is TOO uninteresting anyway
You say that the court house is
there and YOU are satisfied. This !
would indicate to far minded peo-
pie that vou approve the instruc-
tions of the man who said to his !
son. my son, get money; honest !
ly if you can, but get money!
So you suspect that those citizens |
who helped carry out the order
of the court were paid for their |
work Well, if you do you even |
have less in yourupper story than |
we gave YOU credit for, but the
fact is you don't suspect any |
such thing.
Hope has its first time to set |
aside court rulings" We think |
we understand what YOU mean;
it has nothing TO do with setting |
aside court rulings, however.
How about the time when the !
contestants in this case went be-
fore the circuit judge and asked |
Washington telegraph., 1917-02-23

for an order TO make the election
commissioners show up the poll
books and they refused to do so?
What about the case that went to
the Supreme Court on the same
Question and that court ordered
the poll books exhibited? Was
the order obeyed? Do you re
member that stunt, or was that
before your advent in Hope? This
refers to the time the citizen, {"
as you are pleased to call him, re-
lieved Pendleton of the poll books.
Puckie, dear, your ignorance in
this approaches the sublime,
Washington has proven no
fraud" " How about that S55 votes
in DeRoan township alone? Land
sakes, how much do you want us
to prove? And now the editor
talks about coming into equity
with clean hands. Brother, it is
a good thing you don't want equi-
ty Why it would require the out
put of a soap factory for the next
forty years to prepare some of
your crowd for a back seat.
"Ruthlessly removed the roc.
ords back to Washington. " Who
ruthlessly removed the records
away from Washington? We're
the records not moved on order
of the county court in each in
stance? The Herald man seems
to be contracting the same habit
peculiar to a number in his vicin-
ity, viz: Shutting the proper eye
at the proper time and not seeing
Perhaps it was before the ad-
vent of the Herald that the par
ties it is now defending caused
to be published in which
they promised the people that if
removal carried they would not
ask for removal of the records
until a court house was built and
the matter settled. Perhaps the
editor does not know that they
made this same promise from the
stump all over the county This
is going into equity with cleap
hands" with a vengeance. Y9-i
will say in reply that if the peo-
pie had not contested they woWld
have done That. Peri1drS IL S,hc I
people had thrown up their hands |
and allowed themselves to be rob
bed they would have done as
promised, but the people would |
not submit TO such proceedings.
puckieiim micgussictommy dear, |
your predictions are worth about |
rs much as a last years almanac |
You wouldn't know a court or
Ter if you should meet it in the
road, and you wouldn't know |
