Judge Butter
Disproves Charge
of Extravaganza
To the People Of Cleveland

County:
| learn through the columns of
the Cleveland County Herald and
from what numbers of your citi-
zens have told me that Hon. d..
A. Bradham in a speech made
in the town of Rison has en-
deavored to create the impress
ion that | have been wasteful of
the County's money. Not only
has he done this at Rison but at
other points in your county and
also in Drew County. In his
posters for his speaking dates
in Drew County he had printed
in large type Judge Butler is in
vited to be present and a fair
division of time will be given
him." | am not advised as to
what his conduct in your county
in this respect has been; but in
Drew County this was done and
the circulars distributed in the
neighborhood of where he was
to speak a day or two before
when he knew that | was camp
aigning for the 3rd Liberty Loan
far away, and not even an in
vitation was mailed to me at my
home address, and did not know
he was making speaking dates
until several days after. The
manifest reason for this conduct
was to create the impression
that | did not care to meet him
and probably could not an 5wer his
charges. have met MIR. Brad
ham in public debate on four
different occasions in Bradley
County and no time did he men
ton any charge whatever again
st me or accuse me of holding
expensive Courts.
In his Rison speech he said that
t he Circuit Court expenses
during the last three years of
Judge Wells administration was
between Six aud Seven thousand
dollars, while for the three years
| have served the expense Was
between eleven and twelve tho
usand dollars, thereby implying
that [ had been an extravagan t
and wasteful Judge.
lido not know where Mr.. Brad
ham got his information and he
has nothing to support his state
ment that know of except what
he himself says: but as matter
of fact the records in the Clerks
office show that Judge Wells
Court during his last three years
cost the County $9636.OO and
there are several hundred dollars
more charged in the year | have
been Judge, which were ex-
penses incurred during Judge
Wells administration which
should be deducted from mine
and added to his: According to
Mr.. Bradham the expense of my
first three years was between
eleven and twelve thousand
dollars but he fails to state that
included in that estimate is 1880.
100 expenses of Judge Wells last
term of Court, which taking his
outside figure would reduce the
expense down to Sl0,61000.' Mr.
Bradham also fails to tell you
that when | became Judge that
the Court Docket was crowded
with cases which came over
from the preceding administra-
ton among which were four First
Degree Murder Cases which
were tried before Juries during
the first year of my administra-
ton. Mr.. Bradham fails to tell
the people that practically two
thirds of the Circuit Court ex-
penses he mentions were incur
red in the last year brought
about by the expensive murder
cases that came over from pre-
vious administration, the expense
for the first year being Seven
thousand Dollars and largely
caused by the four great Murder
trials.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCER N
This is to certify that | have
carefully. searched the proper
records of Cleveland County
Arkansas, and find that the total
expense of the Cleveland Circuit
Court for the last three years of
Judge H. W. Wells was $10,347-
81.
also find that the total ex-
penses of said Court for the first
three years of Judge Turner But
Ter was $40, 611.3O, and that
there were six indictments for
Murder found in Judge Wells
Court and tried by Judge But
Ter. and that the first and second
terms of Judge Buffers Court
at which these Murder cases
were tried the expense of the
Circuit Court was Sc. 222 10, and
that since that time the expense
of the Cleveland Circuit Court
has gradually decreased, and
that the expense Of the Deem
Der Term 1917 of the Cleveland
Circuit Court was 1929 60.

other cases dealers for a certain
company receive notices while Others
do not.
Sometimes, closing stations may
release man power, but often it
only works hardship upon the
dealer, who may do his biggest bus

Mr.. Holmes, who advises dealers to
use their own discretion in the mat
ter.
To provide coal to meet the ma

II. A. Garfield has adopted the
weekly mine quota plan, by which
each mine is to produce a stipulated
tonnage, to be decided upon by the
district managers in consultation
with local mine committees, weekly
until March 81. An increase Of
10 II per cent bituminous and 1-3
per cent anthracite coal over last
year must be mined, to meet the
demands.

that the labor conditions are in a bad

ton; the one authorizing the reg
i,tration and listing of all unem-
ployed in the state, and their
