Tom J. Terral Says He Will Appoint The Right Kind of Men to Public
 Office

Mir. Terral says: While l am Gov ernor 1 will never appoint profession al crooks to positions of public trust
 l will appoint no man to any position whose honesty, efficiency, business ability and devotion to the peoples interest is in the least questioned. If, however, Governor being the slave of professional politicians backing his candidacy and responsible for his cleo tion uses his appointive power to re- ward political friends. satisfy the hunger of perpetual office holders and public pie-counter-fed appointees and build up political machine to further the selfish interest of himself and friends against the wishes of and at the expense of the people, no relief from the present, extravagant and shameful conditions existing in this state can be expected. The finest To- comotive in the world run by a reck- less and an inefficient engineer will but work destruction. You see. therefore, one of the greatest services a Governor can render for a State is to appoint the right kind of men to office. He can in this way prevent graft and fraud in our state govern ment and direct the affairs of our state on an economic and business ba- sis, and thus reduce and tighten the burden of taxation" Adv.

TO THE VOTERS OF LONOKE
 COUNTY

I am a candidate for the office of County and Probate Judge of Lon oke County, subject to the action of the Democratic primary election August 10, and take this method of soliciting your support and influence in behalf of my candidacy. 1 have always been closely identified with the affairs of Lonoke County, have for more than 10 years been mem Der of the Quorum Court, am well acquainted with the duties of the County and Probate Judge, and feel eminently qualified to discharge them if elected I am a farmer and bridge builder and have lived in Lonoke County practically all of my life. My immediate place of residence is in Prairie township.
 My opponent has been in the court house for eight years and is now ask ing for a second term for County and Probate Judge. For the follow ing reasons, l think, the people de mand change in the administration of the County's affairs:
 l. Mir High can't be strict advo- cate of the two-tern policy. As County Clerk he had three terms, and if he is elected County Judge this time, he will use the same means to be elected to third term as he used to be elected to third for County Clerk.
 2. MT. High is not conducting the affairs of the office in the interest of the rank and file of the people, be- cause his brother-in-law, Mir Chas. A. Walls, does not represent the peo- pie.
 8. MT. High has turned down the petitions of those who elected him to office, and has favored certain corpo- rations. Why? Because it meant hundreds of dollars to his brother-in- law, Mir. Walls.
 i. Mir. High has turned down the petitions of the majority of the peo- pie and had favored the select few. Why? Because it meant money for Mr. Walls.
 ,. MT. High has not only been dic- tated to, and dominated by, his broth er-in-law, MT. Walls, but he has failed in nearly every instance to give any help at all on the bridges of the coun- ty when asked to do so by the people.
 pioAHlse, II eieetest' eo edhe speGldi care of the roads and bridges of thf county, and to exercise the right, guaranteed the county courts by the state constitution, in regard to inter nal improvements in the interest ot those who will pay the bills. am for good roads and drainage, but not un- til they are demanded by big ma jority of the people who will pay the taxes, and will not approve plans for improvement districts just to help some fellow like MT. Highs brother in-law, MT. Walls, get big fee.
 am in this race to win. 1 shall appreciate your support.
