DEMOCRATS WILL MEET
 SEPTEMBER. @lATK
Col. McRae. Nominee for Governor Will Deliver the Keynote
 Address.

Little Rock, Aug. 24.-(SpeciaD - The Democratic State Convention will meet September IA It will be largely q perfunctorv gathering. The primary system has robbed the State Convention of all the glamour and excitement that formerly attended these occasions. The people and not their delegated representatives decide the identity of the nominees and all that the delegates have to do is to meet and ratify the public choice.
 At this convention Col. T. c. McRae, the nominee for governor, will deliver his keynote speech and outline the policies he will advocate in the cam paign to be made for the election
 There will be at least thsee and pro- bahly, four names on the ticket for gov ernor at the November election Of course no one expects that the oppos- ltion will be able to score any material strength against the Democratic nom inee, yet the gospel of democracy must be carried on to the people that there may be as little detection as possible from the party ranks. Wal lace Townsend young attorney ol Little Rock. is the Republican candi- date and sam W. Buesler of Spring dale has been nominated by the Soc iaiist party. It is possible that a fourth name may appear upon tht ticket. that of a negro school teacher named B}ount of Forrest City who has been nominated for govcrnor by the Black and Tan faction of the Republi can party. Leaders of the race say that Blount will positively be on the ticket and that they propose to tes1 the relative strength Of the white ant the black vote among the Republicans

MUCH WORRY OVER
 THE COTTON CROP
Meade Variety Not Doing We'll in Texas and Arkansas According
 To the Reports.

Washington, Aug. 22.-Production is causing some concern among the cotton specialists of the Agricultural Department here. according to state ment issued today. Reports have been received that several hundred acres in these states have been, planted to Meade cotton. This cotton developed by the Bureau of Plant Industry is nosy replacing sea island cotton in Georgia and South Carolina but the specialists to all sections of the cotton belt and that it's indiscrimipate production will detract from it's high grade.
 Considered an equal of sea island cotton the principal advantage of Meade lies in the fact that 1t produces earlier thus tending to avoid damage by the boil weevil. The objection of the government cotton specialists however. to it's production in other state III advance OI uepaflmeHtdl re- commendation lies in the fact that it is particularly susceptible to droutD and once it's growth is checked the fib- CT becomes weak and irregular and the crop difficult to pick. The bolis wither and split prematurely and do not open to the normal extent. An other disadvantage of this cotton in regions outside the sea island district. the department experts says, is that it is better adapted to roller ginning, the fiber becoming badly gin cut when saw ginned.

Y. M. C. \. CAMPERS
Getting Up at 6 q. III. Did Not Tnjure
 the Boys Health.

The campers at the r. M. c. A. camp returned Tuesday of last week, and ail report a good time and wish it could have been longer. In spite the fact that it rained three days out of the five while in camp every moment of the time was enjoyed by everybody ill attendance. Getting up in the morn- ing at o'clock did not prove hard ship nor were there any protests heard when o'clock came at night and all were required to go to bed. One good feature of the camp was the fact that it was possible to sleep out of doors every night, by sleeping under mosquito netting.
 Bailey Springs proved to be an ideal place for camp, it being open enough to be dry and is also well drained, and being on bank of Little River where there is a fine place to swim the two periods allowed each day for swim ming.
 Every one who went this year is planning already to go again next year with the expectation that there will bt a larger attendance and of course larged attendance and a better camp

WOMEN GAN VOTE IN
 PRESiDENTlAL ELECTION
TenUeSsep's Ratification of the Federal Amendment Gives Women the
 Right to Vote.

Little Rock. Aug. z5.--(SpeciaD = The women of Arkansas can vote for president and members of Congress in the general election next November.
 There is much doubt however wheth- CT they can vote at the same time for state. district and county officers. The question is now being carefully inves- tigatad by Attorney General Arbuckle and others
 The news of Tennessee's ratification of the Federal Amendment yesterday afternoon was received in Little Rock with great rejoicing by the women and all advocates of equal suffrage. This was the 36th state to ratify and now the Federal suffrage is settled fact. "Heartiest congratulations to the great volunteer state for its progres- sive action in emancipating the women hood Of our nation is the message which was sent by Governor Brough yesterday evening to the governor of Tennessee
 In discussing the action of the Ten nessee legislature Governor Brough said:
 'I am very much gratified by the ac- tion of the Tennessee general assemb- ly. I consider it vindication of my course last summer in having called a special session of the Arkansas legis- lature for the purpose of ratification. that Arkansas might be the first south ern state to take this progressive stand.
 '"The application of the Federal Amendment will add at least 10,000,000 women voters to those who will parti- cipate in the next general election for Federal offices. The participation oi women in the national elections will unquestionably add to the strength oi Democratic ticket as women generally favor the League of Nations and are l in favor Of taking any necessary steps l to ne~petuate the peace of the world.
 'sThe fact that the Republican gover- nors of Connecticut and Vermont have l steadfastly refused to call their legfs- latures in extra session to ratlfy and 1 the further fact that Governor Cox. the Democratic nominee, urged immediate ratif9cat .on by Tennessee and Norm Carolina. should add materially to the strength of the Democratic ticket. T regret that the constitution of the state of Arkansas is such that it is ex- i tremely doubtful whether women can participate in our next state election. believe heartily in women suffrage as Q means of purifying politics and plac- ing the electorate on the r1gnt side of all moral questions
 An amendment to the Arkansas con- stitution has been initiated to De suD- mitted next November. The question l is, will such an amendment be neces- sary? or does the amendment to the Federal Constitution automatically ab- rogate the prohibition in the state con stitution? If the women are permitted to vote for state officers in November, then they can unquestionably vote on the question of adopting the state suf- l frage amendment for their own en- franchisement
 It is one of the intricate legal ques- tions in which large majority of our citizenship is deeply interested.
