REASONS WHY you sHoULo vorE FoR aRAD O. SMITH
FINANCIAL RECORD


When the levyng court was IN session a few days
ago Brad Smith made report . that body which
proved that the sherfs office had not cost the county
anything. He had through the authorized enforce
men OF the law caused the law violaors to be arrest
ed and fined; and the financial burden of this office
removed to the shoulders Of those who violate the law
instead OF falling the shoulders of those who do not
violate law, and pay taxes for the support of the
county.
DRAFT BOARD WORK
No man upon whom has fallen the responsible
task OF standing firmly and fairly behind the govern
ment III its home work relatively to the war has more
endeayore to serve with sincerely ofpurpose than
Brad Smith. Not alone his work as member of the
draft board has received the highest commendation
but also ne has merlted approval for the manner in
which he has brought the slackers into line
COOPERATION
While the sheriff is elected by the people and res
ponslble only to the people for the performance of his
duty still the office is to be best administered there
must be a sincere and friendly cooperation between
the sheriff and the courts which he attends and
serves Brad Smith has record for this cooperation
that has contributed much to the welfare of the whole
community.
The Sentinel=record. (Hot Springs, Ark.) 1900-current, 1918-11-03
EFFICIENCY

During the twenty months that he has served in
the office he has conducted the responsible office of
sheriff IN manner that becomes the dignity Of the
chie executive officer of the county has made effec-
lSncY the watch word has exceeded his auth
ority and still has failed to perform the duty
that was before him.
| he sheriff's books open to inspection at any
time to any one
PROSPERITY
Under the regime OF Brad Smith Hot Springs has
gone along In the even tenor of its way; enjoying two
OF the most successful business its history
and has found Brad Smith always cooperating with
the public spirited men who have been responsible
tor It's upbuldng, and who must be looked to in the
future tor It's continued prosperity.
LAW ENFORCEMENT
During the 20 months that Brad Q Smith has
served sheriff he has been the particular target Of
the booteg8er and the gambler because he has en-
forced the law. That these law violations have been
reduced to a minimum is due largely to the fact that
the ylolators know Brad Smith is always the alert
tor them, and that they will be punished to the limit
IN the courts when they arraigned with the proof
that ne secures tor the pr Jsecuting attorneys office

 The press of our nation has an important part to play in the world war and a solemn duty to perform. The morale of the nation depends largely upon it--and the morale of the entente and the United States is going to win the war.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1918-09-05
No Increase in Price

The increase in the number of readers means an enormous increase in expense as white paper is now innormaltimes. Uncle Samis also charging the papers from 25b to several hundred per cent more postage than in former times.
 Despite the increased cost of production we' are endeavoring to avoid raising subscription rates.

Service to the public is demanded of the newspaper in times like these as never before With thousands of fathers, sons, brothers and relatives fighting for liberty on the battle- tields of Europe every bit of news is of vital interest to the folks at home.
