NO LACK OF MEN
READY TO SERVE
AS GOVERNOR
With Primary a Year Of,
Just 80 Men Are Being
Doomed"

Little Rock, June 9.-This PROPOSE
ton of who are to become candidates
for governor is assuming such pro-
portions that it has become necessary
to keep a card index on the aspirants
avowed, possible, probable, and re-
ceptive. Otherwise, the ordinary
citizen who has to work for living
cannot keep line on Who's who in
the Gubernatorial Free-for-all.
After careful revision, the list
at the present time stands about as
follows:
Arbuvkle, John D.; Bond, John w.;
Bordeaux, Henry; Baker, J. W.; Cook,
George B.; Carter. John L.; Davis,
Wallace; Davis, Wilkes; England,
Lloyd; Fuller. Claude; Hardage, 10;
Hutton, w. G.; Haynie, George r.;
James, Charles D.; Milwee, Frank;
Mahoney, F. o.; McRae, Thos. c.;
Mehaffy. Tom NJ; Owen, W. B.;
Pace, Frank: Poe, Tom Ponder,
Harry L.; Priddy, A. B.; Ragon,
Heartsill; Robertson, James T.; Ter
ral Tom j.: Taylor, Chas. E.: Walls,
A. j.; Wells, Frank NJ; Williams,
Hamp.
Maybe somebody has been left out,
but there is plenty of time to get in.
Not all of those named will run for
governor, few Of them have al
ready announced that they will not,
and a few of them are not to have
been mentioned" by admring friends
more as a joker or as compliment
than anything else.
Some to tbapo bouauor oro COW
iously considering it. At least one
of them, a state official, is known to
have made up his mind, one way or
the other, but has not had time to
write his announcement There has
not been just such a condition pre-
valent in the state in great many
yeads, if ever.
One of those named admitted that
he did not known the date of the pri-
mary had been changed, and that it
will be held in August, 1920, instead
of March or May.
All other state officers are being
lost sight of in the interest shown
in the governors race. 1t has come
to be a standing joke in newspaper
circles that they should Count that
day lost whose low descending SUM-
Sees not another candidate going to
run"
The whole situation is too hazy and
uncertain at this time to determine
what the issues of the campaign will
be-there must be an actual Lineup
of the actual candidates before this
can be done.
Up to the present time men and not
issues have been the consideration
and the political camps of the state
are doing cambed for candidates.
About the easiest and cheapest
publicity that can be secured at this
time is to get into the daily papers
as being prominently mentioned" for
governor.
