friends of Senator Robinson
have insisted that the local com

here to make a speech on that

was suggested from Little Rock

to mix politics with SO sacred
a thing as the needs of the
government at this time, it
should be declined, and was,
If the senator wants to come
back to Arkansas in his own in

let him make his appointments

under the guise Of serving tbe
government. | understand he is
following up Sousa's fBand, which
is travelling in the State Liberty
Loan Campaign, and when it

makes patriotic speeches, telling
the people what their duty is to
the government in this supreme

he was induced ta write a letter
to the senator asking him to run
for senator,
