 E. E. ALEXANDER w.. J. DRIVER
SENATOR ALEXANDER '
 FOR CONGRESS.

In this issue will be found the formal announcement of Senator E. E. Alexander, of vnls city, as a candidate for Congress.
 It has been known for some time that the Senator would make such announcement, and .uce the first intimation that this was likely Senator Alex ander has received innumer- able pledges for support from over the county and district. Probably never in the history of the district has there, seemingly, been such 8 spon- taneous proffer of support for a candidate for this office as Senator Alexander has re- celved. For months a special Stenographer has been busy answering these letters of political and personal friends all over the district, asking nat they might do to further ms candidacy, and his friends nere visit his. office and meet nm on the street and, inquire II | there is anything they can oo to help in the way of get tlng out his work.

 gressmen to congress-to get what we want.
 At home Senator Alexan- der is deservedly popular with all classes because of this spirit and a willingness to help his friends, his people, in any way possible. His offices are rarely ever closed and most always filled with peo- pie wanting some sort of help which he never denies if within his power to render aid.
 Senator Alexander first of all is a lawyer and it requires a lawyer to make laws. He is as active and as well in- formed as any member of the local bar, and is always busy in the several courts. Sec ondly, he is a mixer" who takes a back seat for nobody. He has the happy faculty of knowing a man once he meets him, and this goes a long ways in politics. The men in the ranks like for their officers to know them when they meet them, but this is not neces- sarily a qualification.
 Senator Alexander is amply qualified for the office which he seeks. He has been a close student of the needs of the people, not only as a. state and nation, but as a district. The First Arkansas district needs many things which we could get that would push us to the front in many ways, and the friends wlso are espousing the candidacy of Senator Alex ander believe he is better able to get these things for his district than any man in the district. It is enough to say that he would "do his durndest," which ordinarily gets results if the fellow will keep at the job, as Alexan- der usually does. While con- gress is a big body, the fellow who keeps everlastingly at a task makes. progress event ually. This was proven by Mir. Alexander while in the senate and also in the house. He got things for his district which helped the district and that is what his constituents most desired.
 In substantiation of the claim that he knows how to legislate for his district and the people, the Alexander road law is a standing senti- nel. This law, which was compiled, fathered and put through the legislature, has run the gauntlet of the su- preme court, and without doubt is one of the best laws ever placed on the Arkansas statute. It has done more for good roads than any other law ever passed in this state, if, in fact, it was not largely re- sposible for the good roads sentiment which is now sweep ing the state and resulting in the construction of more hard

Special Dispatch From Stan Correspondent
Dover, Sept. 23.--The Prohibitionists
of Delaware are holding their State con-
vention here today.
The purpose Of the convention is n
decide whether TO nominate a ticket, part
of ticket, indorse candidates on existing
tickets or keep hands of. !"
At the outset of the convention. which
got under way at noon, the feeling seemed
to be that the thing to do WAS 10 nominate
part of ticket and indorse some of the
candidates on the Democratic and Re
publican tickets.
Endorsement OF William ID. Denncy OF
Dover, the Republican nominee for gov
ernor, and William L. Lyman of Whining
ton, Democratic nominee for attorney
general, was generally favored.
The nominee of candidates for Prcsiden-
tial electors, favorable TO the Prohibition
nominees for President and Vice President
o the United States was also proposed.
Another thought WAS 10 secure Pro-
hibition nominees IN two or three of the
legislative districts, where both of the
present candidates are believed to not bc
in sympathy with the "drys"
So with matters IN this shape the pro-
hibitionists opened their convention.
Some ''disinterested spectators both
Democrats and Republicans, were on the
side lines. They seemed. however. to
feel a considerable interest in what the
convention might do
In view of the fact that il WAS expected
that one of the candidates on the head
of the ticket would be here, the attend
ance was augmented, though, of course, il
had nothing of the PEP" and snap of
the conventions recently held here by the
Democrats and Republicans.
Nearly 100 persons, including few
ministers and many women, were present
at the opening Of the convention, which
WAS held in the Kent county Court House
Aaron s Watkins of Cincinnati. o, the
Prohibition nominee for President Of the
United States, WAS in attendance. He
came to Dover from Washington, where
he attended n meeting of the Anti-Alcohol
Congress yesterday He will return there
tonight.
The State Committee went in executive
session at l1.l5 o'clock. standard time,
10 prepare the convention program.

the prison sentence was suspended. In
suspcnding the sentence Judge Hastings
warned the woman TO keep her house
free from suspicion and expressed the
opinion that the husbands usually got
their wives to sell the liquor because the
court has appeared TO be more lenient
with the women than the men arrested
on such charges.
Numerous complaints from women in
the neighborhood led the detectives to
send a woman with marked money in to
purchase whisky from Mrs. Brenna.
When arrested she admitted having re-
ceIved the marked money, 81 in all. The
stuff she sold was pure alcohol, colored

Social welfare.
Speaking 10 a gathering composed Of

declared that neither Social reforrners
nor industrial chicftains should view the
problem Of social betterment strictly
from their own standpoint.

worker m the world ~ the man or woman
who does an honest days work. We must
awaken their conscience 20 recognize
that American business is not q monster
but an expression Of God-viven impulse

ian OF our happiness, our homes and of
equal opportunity for all in America.

{. A. HAYNER SOLVING
OFFICE BOY PROBLEM
Labor Inspector Aiding Deserv-
ing Youths TO Find the
Right Job.

If there is an energetic boy who Is four
teen years old and upwards who wants a
position in an office at salary that may
prove surprise IN these postwar days
Its up 20 him TO present himself to Charles
A. Hagner. State Labor Inspector at his
Office in the du Pont building. MIR Hagner
Is exerting himself outside of official duties
TO aid young men and boys to locate
employment through this city and State,
and for which the only recompense be
receives is the thanks of grateful boy or
youth
AT the present time Mr.. Hagner has
applications from several industrial plants
and also some professional offices In this
city where boys of intelligence and educa-
tion are wanted. He also knows OF some
plants where they wish youths TO take up
d trade, so that the Labor Inspector is
called upon TO exercise the wisdom of more
than a Ouiia board in placing the boys
There are some boys who at glance he
can determine are fitted for the factory and
not an office Others who would fail in the
factory but might climb 20 a responsible
position in the executive department of
some corporation.
During the past few months Mr. Hagner
has succeeded in placing many boys and
girls who seek employment. Usually
the Labor Inspector urges them to keep
on attending school if that is possible
but if its the case of an orphan or
widowed mother, his argument hasnt
much force. Several boys whom he has
placed have reported TO him that through
his advice they have been able to not only
support themselves but have helped their
mother materially, and that's sufficient
payment for his pains and trouble the
Inspector says for what he has done
If there are employers who want juve-
nile help, then the Labor Inspector is the
man to apply too, for it is only thr ough
the cooperation of emplyers with the
Labor Inspectors Office that he can aid
them and also help deserving youths.
