and August at s1.49 to $1.49E; were
followed by declines all around and

like to communicate with farmers hav-

as five or more colonies of bees will
mail their names to Mr.. Geo. R. Ely,

Little Rock, they will place the names
upon a permanent mailing list in the

GEO. W. EMERSON FOR
PROSECUTING ATTORNEY
WELL-kNoWN ATTORNEY DE
cIDES TO MAKE RACE AT
REQUEST OF FRIENDS.

| announce myself as a candidate
for Prosecuting Attorney for this dis
trfct for the reasons:
First have been solicited to do
so by persons whose opportunities
have no right to refuse and upon
grounds that l could not consistently
reject.
Second feel, as presume every
other candidate for every other Of
flee does, that, if elected, [ can be Of
some service to the public.
My Platform:
First favor a vigorous prosecu-
ton of all law-breakers, believing
that the best method of preventing
crime is to punish the criminal. Such
prosecution, however, should be tenn
pered with that degree of mercy and
common sense which in each case
would seem proper.
Second favor a vigorous prose
cution against those who violate the
laws pertaining to public morals, such
as gambling, bootlegging and i'm
morality without any limitations what
ever, and if elected to this office and
given the proper support by the po-
lice department, the Sheriffs office
and public sentiment, professional VIC
lators of these laws will have to seek
new fields in which to ply their avo-
cations.
Third favor strict enforcement
of all laws enacted for the protection
and benefit of employees and especial
Nv employed women and minors.
My Appeal:
For these reasons and upon this
platform, I solicit the vote and in
fiuence of every man and woman in
the District but with the distinct I'M
derstanding that if l am elected, al
though you have supported me, and
YOU Intentionally violate the laws, you
shall be prosecuted.
