One or the nafQeSC IougnI pollllcd campaigns in the history of the state will see a furious close during the coming week and the first part O. next week. With 10 days remaining until the voters make their choice al the polls on August 10, office seekers will make a sweeping attempt thl: week to reach every corner of the state. Chief in interest is the governors race and this will touch Pine Bluf7 at it's height next Wednesday wher Smead Powell, candidate from Qua chita county and around whom the hardest fight has centered, will make an address on the courthouse lawn together with county candidates anc possibly other state candidates. POW ell's interests here have been IT the hands of Senator Creed Caldwell and as the Camden man has large following here it is expected that big crowd will hear him. Judge G R. Haynie, Judge Floyd and Tom Ter, rall are among the gubernatorla candidates who recently have spok' en here. Haynie has many friends in Pine Bluff. Floyd has strong following and Floyd club is being planned here to boost his candidacy and Tom Terrall, in a way consider ed a native son, has scores o1 friends who are ardent supporters. The other gubernatorial candidates T. c. McRae, who has a strong fol- lowing here, Harry Walsh, another man with many personal friends and the habit of making more and John Riggs of Hot Springs, have a big following in Pine Bluff. Each of them has made determined effort tc swing Jefferson county,s votes and a close contest with heavy bearing on the result may be expected.
 Taylor Opposed.
 Second in interest here perhaps to the gubernatorial race is the senator ial race. Senator William F. Kirby and Congressman T. H. Carraway are the contestants. Both have recently vls- ited Pine Bluff and both have many friends here.
 One of the prettiest races for state office is that for attorney general in which Neil Bohlinger and A. $ Utley are candidates. Hard work has characterized both campaigns and there has been little suggestion oi personal animosity between them.
 In the county campaign there are but two contests-an unusual thing in Jefferson county. Will Kowell county treasurer, is seeking another term. and Calvin Burks is. opposing him. In the race for the three seats in the lower house there are five candidates A. Hill, who IS seeking reelection; c. F. Simons, s. A. Miller, Charles Reinberger and Cal Newton. Senator Creed Cald- we'll is unopposed.
 E.. w. .Brockman, prosecuting at torney; Judge WI. B. Sorrells, Sam Vaulx. circuit clerk; c. M. Nichol sheriff and collector; l.. T. Sallee county clerk; Clayton Gould. asses SOY, and Judge R. H. Williams, coun- ty judge, are seeking endorsement terms.
 In the township office-that of constable-Ben Brannon, present oc- cupant, is being opposed by John H King, night chief of police.
 The race for congressman from the sixth congressional district finds L. E. Sawyer, we'll known and popu- lar Hot Springs resident, opposing the candidacy for reelection of s. M Tavlor of Pine Bluff.
