dissolved in Chicago, in 1916. 20 the
Democrats think they will see the
liberal Republicans march up tho hill
AT Chicago this year and down again
into the arms OF the Democrats.
Meanwhile Hoover Republicans have
not lost heart and are rather pleased
that the Hoover announcement has not
drawn down the disapproval OF Repub-
licans generally. even though IL has
be6n scorned by boomers OF other Re
publican candidates, whose interest in
so doing is naturally discounted.
The supporters OF McAdoO and Palm
or feel somewhat relieved ever Mr.
Hoover's announcement, and IL would
not be surprising TO see friends Of Nc
Adoo and Palmer in California entering
the Republican primaries not only 10
help defeat Hiram Johnson because OF
his stand on the peace treaty, but 10
keep Hoover out of the Democratic pri-
marie,s and label him eDfinitely as
Republican.
That's the strategy OF the moment,
and II would seem to point to a VIC
tory for Hoover In California, a circum-
stance that might make the controlling
leaders of the Republican national con-
Vention reconsider their earlier dislike
for the aforesaid Hoover.

COTTON OIL PLANT
HAS $4,000 FIRE
Early Morning Blaze Occurs in
Hull House at Phoenix.
Company.

Fire which broke out suddenly in a
cottonseed hun house of the Phoenix
Cotton OIL company. 1901 Thomas street,
Saturday at 2I5 am. swept over the
structure before firemen could reach
the scene and destroyed the building as
well as nearly 400 tons OF hulls, valued
at $4,000. Total loss to the firm may
range above $4,000.
Tho reflection of the fire in the sky
viewed by firemen at No. 6 engine
company, Third street and Looney ave-
nue., = miles away, resulted in the
spreading Of the alarm. No. 4 engine
company was ordered to the blaze with
No. 6. About 5000 feet of hose were
used to throw water on the blaze from
the nearest plug at the city limits, half
mile away.
The blaze had gained great headway
when discovered by the flare and by the
time the firemen could traverse the dis
lance, the structure was doomed. Only
by the hardest efforts We're adjacent
buildings, containing thousands OF dol
lars worth of cottonseed products
saved.
The fire started on the west side Of
| the huh house. presumably from spark
out of the stack. 1t was two thirds full
of hulls. Operation Of the cempan!
will not be hampered by the loss.

View of Hoover's Effort.

Mr. Hoover's effort TO lberalizo the
Republican party is regarded by MIR.
Cummings ms doomed TO failure, l ust ~
The wish may be father to the thought,
for the Democrats don't want to see the
Republican convention in Chicago adopt
a liberal platform and nominate Mr..
Hoover. They fear he would sweep the
country, Their only hope is that the
Republican convention viii fail TO need
the clamor for Hoover and nominate
somebody else. Believing naturally
thaH@the Democratic party Ia the true
liberal party. Mr.. Hoover Is on the
wrong side Of the fence in trying, to
bring about reform in the Republican

gram. neither extremely reactionary
nor extremely radical. will be found N
the Democratic platform. obviously
Mr.. Hoovers stand on the treaty dll
fers from that of President wilson ana,
unless something happens TO take the
treaty out of the campaign. Mr.. HooVer
has closed the door against a Demo-
cratic nomination. -,
For. in the same conference with the
correspondents, Homer Cummings pre-
dicted that the San Francisco conNen-
ton would uphold the position OF Presl-
dent Wilson on all international ana
domestic policies. on such platform
Herbert Hoover could never be drafted
10 run, for he differs with the Wilson
administration on many policies.
Nevertheless. the Democrats are
going to make good use OF Hoover q
popularity and the ducti mes he
breaches. They are going 10 challenge
what Hoover has asked them ~ do.
Their strategy will be TO hoid up
Hoover as the man who tried 70 re-
form the Republican party but failed
for they are sure the Republicans viii
not conform to the Hoover specified
tons. The Democrats will continue &c
say Mr.. Hoover is really ian essentia
Democrat" and that, regardless o.
many OF its flaws, he will find mor'
liberalism in the Democratic than th'
Republican party.
III would be a cruel joke II the Re
publicans did nominate Mr.. Hoover
hut the Democrats are willing to TAKE
the chance In extollIng the former food
administrator because they are con
fident that Mr.. Hoover will be turned
down at Chicago. 1t is to their inter
est, therefore, to keep on friendly terms
with Mr. Hoover for future campaign

moment of liberalism.

IL about the best posted man In the po-
lltical family OF President Wilson. His
remarks to n group OF correspondents
are significant of what tho real leaders
OF democracy have in mind for the san
Francisco convention. His discourse
unfolds tho strategy of his party.
''It Is a sad thing" said Mr.. Cum
mings, ito see an essential Democrat
trying to llberalize a stand-pat party"
The reference was to Herbert Hoover
in answer to a question as to what Mr.:
Cummings thought Of tho former food
administrators last letter anent the
California primaries and his willingness
10 run on a liberal Republican platform.
There is no Disgusting the fact that
there has existed warm admiration
Tor Mr.. Hoover in Democratic councils.
That admiration has been publicly
chilled but privately il has not altered
the real belief of several Democratic
leaders that Herbert Hoover is going TO
he the next president OF the United

pendent ticket They will not admit

FEW WOMEN MAY
 VOTE ON TUESDAY
1918 POLL TAX RECEIPT
Is Held Necessary and Not Many Women Paid-Committee Selects
 Judges and Clerks.

Under the ruling of the Attorney General Arbuckle in which he holds that the payment of a poll-tax for l9lo IS prerequisite for voting in the primary elections of 1920, few Conway women will be entitled to vote at the Democratic municipal pri- mary election to be held on Tuesday.
 Sheriff and collector w. M. Brady was unable today to give exact figures on the number of poll taxes paia ast year by the women, but said he was sure that 25 would be an outside fig ure for the entire county. Not more than one or two were paid by women llvlng m the county outside of Con way, he stated. Poll tax receipts paid by women are not listed separ- atcly from those paid by men, Sher,f Brady said, and 1t would require a canvass of the stubs of over 5000 poll tax receipts issued to determine the exact number paid by women. Twenty or 25, however, is Mr. Brady's es.i- mate of the total.
 Two years ago. when women were first given the privilege of ballot at primary elections, several hundred Faulkner county women availed them SC yes of the opportunity and secured poll tax receipts. Last year, however, being an offyear in elections. few paid any atteneion to the matter.
 The ruling of the attorney-general based upon the supreme court decis- Ions, also bars from the polls large number of soldiers who failed to re- turn from the war in time to pay their poll taxes before the time expired last year The last day on which a poll tax for 1918 could have been paid without penalty was Aprill0, 1919, though by paying a penalty a receipt could have been secured up to the first Monday in July in 1919 Efforts were made to have the legislature at remedy this etaoin hrdl wy pp ppp it's recent special sessions remedy this situation, but no measure to this eff feet was enacted
 The City Democratic Central Com ittee last night met and appointed judges, clerks and deputy sheriffs to serve at next Tuesdays primary, as follows:

DRIFTING

Down Iife's placid river gliding.
Slowly, you and me,
Down the stream of life together,
We are drifting to the sea.
Drifting. ever drifting,
Slowly, you and me,
While the mills of time are grinding,
We are drifting to the sea.
When first we spread our nuptial
sails
Upon life's voyage clear,
Twas on little brooklet
That murmured joy and cheer.
But many rushing torrent
Has swelled the brooklet's tide,
Till we hear the breakers echo
Return from either side.
Drifting, slowly drifting;
Drifting, you and me,
While the mills of time are grinding,
We are drifting to the sea.
The verdant banks so full of cheer
With many floral hue,
Are only seen in memory;
They have vanished from our view.
The flowing tide cannot be stemmed
By any human form,
And return our bark to the brook
again,
Where loves first dreams were born.
Drifting, slowly drifting;
Drifting, you and me,
While the mills of time were grinding,
We have drifted to the sea.
