 SENATOR ROBINSON ISSUES STATEMENT.

Little Rock, May 22.- United States Senator Joe T. Robinson, candidate for the Democratic nomination for re- election in the primary, May 2s, who has remained at his post of duty in Washington rather than to return to Arkansas and engage in an active campaign, has issued the following statement:
 "In the presence of the great peril which threatens our government, per sonal rivalries and jealousies are of trivial importance. On the western battlefront, American soldiers are fighting with the sons of France and England to beat back the German armies in she nightiest conflict of all times--a conflict which involves the safety of our people and the preser- vation of the institutions of civil lib- erty and popular government Real izing that little interest is now felt by the people in personal politics and desiring to promote victory in every possible way, have remained at my post of duty and done what I could to promote the success of our cause which all loyal Americans regard as sumpreme importance.
 This conclusion seems to have been justified by the fact that the meetings advertised by my oponent proved complete failures, he having been unable at many points to secure an audience, and only few persons have attended elsewhere. 1t has been my purpose to continue without inter- ruption my public duties and direct my energies against the enemies of my country, rather than engage with fellow-American in a controversy involving, chiefly personalities of no interest to patriotic citizens.
 'As a brief reference to my record, submit the following brief resume of the measures of national import ance which I have initiated or cham pioned thru the Senate; Locomotive Inspection Act, Minimum Penalty for Violation of the Hours of Service Act The Federal Child Labor Law, the aci reorganizing and broadening the pow CTS of the Interstate Commerce Com, missions, reforms in the Aviation Service, Flood Control, appropriation for Flood Control, restriction of i'm, migration, creation of Federal em.
