GOVERNOR BROUGH
 IN SPRINGDALE
Delivers Patriotic Address Before Large Crowd at Auditorium Wednes- day Night.

Governor Brough, who was unable to fill his appointment in Springdale i Monday evening on account of the wash out, was here Wednesday even 1 ing and delivered an address at the Auditorium to a crowded house. EV- en before he was elected governor Dr. sBrough was always a favorite in l Springdale, having delivered numer- ous addresses here in the past. AL though somewhat hoarse from so much speaking his address was well received as was indicated by ire quent applause. At the conclusion many in the audience, both lad'es md gentlemen, pressed forward to greet the governor.
 Although the speech was along pa- triotic lines, at the request of some of his friends here Governor Brough prefaced his address with few re- marks on state affairs He said if reelected one of the first things he will do will be to send a message to the legislature urging such amend ment of the "bone dry" liquor law as will make it just what the authors of the law intended it to be, and will also urge the ratification of the pro- posed amendment to the Federal Con- stitution making the Nation dry. He said he strongly considered calling the legislature in extra session to amend the "bone-dry" law, but found on investigation that some members opposed the extra session unless per mitted to take up local legislation, and under the circumstances he ! thought best not to tax the state with the extra expense. He said he was opposed to the flat rate assessment law for this or any other county, and said that while the people of Wash ineton County are paying more taxes now than formerly, still the tax rate has not been increased.
 Speaking of the war Governor Trough said there was no doubt about the ultimate result, and that while Germany was one of the most eff cient nations right would triumph in the end and she would be crushed. He cited the immense resources of this country in men and wealth as the de ciding factor which would bring vic tory to the Allies He urged upon the people the necessity of conserva- tion of food, and the purchase of war savings and thrift stamps and contributing literally to the Red Cross fund.
 At the conclusion of his address Governor Brough presented Mayor Smyer with the two honor flags for the town and township for oversub- scribing the Third Liberty Loan.
 Governor Brough spent Tuesday and Wednesday in Benton County, and spoke yesterday morning at Prai- rie Grove.
