"despicable propaganda against

Mr.. Healy told the board that the
propaganda against labor began in
less than twenty-four hours after the
signing of the armistice. Labor was
accused he declared. Of being respon-
sible for the high cost Of living. the
object being to poison the minds Of
the people to such an extent that tho

pie have listened to the poisoned
tongues and read the output Of pois-
on pens until they believe that labor
is disloyal. The crusade of the high
government official Is undoubtedly for
the purpose of aiding in the CAM
paign of certain employers of the
country to secure laws establishing
involuntary servitude.
"Sedition laws were suggested that
would tie labor hand and foot. While
ostensibly these laws were proposed
to eradicate bolshevism. I. w. W.-ism
and anarchism. the real purpose was
to prevent the normal activities of
labor.
'"The most fragrant instance Of this
most despicable crusade to infiame the
people of this country against wage
workers was the Information given
out that May l was to be used by
these 'overthrowers of the govern

who sought to add further stigma to
labor went wrong. May day passed
OFF as peacefully as any other day in

BY n. O. MESSENGER.

Looking over the results Of the pri-
maries and state and district conven-
tions. the political wiseacres are fig
uring on the evidenced strength OF
the aspirants for the republican presf-
Dental nomination. They calculate
Gen. Wood to have an upset total at
this time of about 275, including m
structed and favorably inclined dele
gates. To Senator johnson tney give
about 10o instructed, and to GOV.
Lowden about the same number. IN
structed. The Lowden forces will not
disclose their own figures of delegates
they claim to have up their sleeve.
The conclusion drawn from this
calculation Is that 1t proves that no
candidate has on the face of the re-
strength, and, moreover, that no two
Of them with combined forces would
present a majority of the convention.
A bare majority of the convention,
necessary to nominate, Is 4S3.
In the cold Judgment Of neutral re-
publicans. Gov. Lowden at this time
holds the strongest tactical position.
1t Is not impregnable, however. by
any means. In the opinion OF these
men neither Gen. Wood nor Senator
Johnson can get the nomination, and
future changes must naturally be to

the interest of prominent
republican leaders throughout the
country in Gov. Lowden's candidacy
Is taken into consideration and class
ed as q practical asset of value. But
he is not yet the prophetic nominee OF
the party.
Platform and League Question.
For the time being, and while the
candidates are getting
their second wind, the platform and
the league of nations plank therein
will command the attention Of the
it is said. They think they
have a line on the prospective demo-
cratic pronouncement on the league
OF nations. foreseeing a fiat declara-

to this belief by the prospect that
President Wilson and the administra-

This means the convention is expected
to uphold the President on his league

The question before the repub.

whether to support Senator Johnson
and the irreconcilables in their de-
mand for fiat rejection of the league
of nations. or follow the lead Of the
preponderating majority of repub-
lican senator's and advocate a league

committee on platform will make the
subject to approval
by the delegate body.
The best Judgment of republican
leaders. including men outside of the

OWENS iS DUE 70 LEAVE TO-DAY FOR
 MONTICELLO ]: ] TRIP
Controversy Threatens Decis- ion on $500 Bet Late
 Last Night

To drive to Monticello in not to exceed seven hours thus win sioe bet of $500 will be the aim of E. E. Owens of the Owens Motor Car com. pany, who is to leave the Graphic of flee at 3 o'clock this morning, in an Overland five-pasSenger stock car.
 The trip today grows out of the endurance run made Thursday by Hicks Riley of the Hicks Riley Motor Car company in an Essex runabout, and MT. Rileys offer to wager $500 that no other car could make the trip to Monticello under it's own power, over the same road, and un. der similar weather conditions in not to exceed seven hours.
 MT. Owens accepted the challenge and elected to use an Overland, for which he is the local agent. Under the terms of the agreement govern ing the trip today, the car is to car ry four passengers, three to be se- lected by the Owens company and one by the Hicks Riley company MT Owens announced that he will be accompanied by Louis Thompson and H. s. Reed, and the Riley company has designated Ed. Rowland as its representative.
 That a controversy might develop seemed imminent late last night when it was reported that Nowlant would be unable to make the trip Argument ensued between the par ties at interest concerning the iden. tity of the Hicks Riley company representative. MT. Riley said he would designate James Reidinger te serve in place of Rowland as his company's representative, and saw no reason why the Owens company should object to having MT. Reidin ger or any other person accompany the car as the Riley company's repre- sentitive.
 The Riley company has posted $50( in cash with the Graphic, and tho Owens company has put up $500 witt the Commercial. The agreemen provides that if the Overland, usinf 'the road usually travelled to oMn ticello," reaches the Drey count, capital "within seven hours from thu time starting from Pine Bluff" thes the Graphic shall pay the $500 de posted by the Hicks Riley compan' over to the Owens company, ant should "the Overland four not reacl Monticello within the seven hours the $500 on deposit with the Com mercial shall be paid over to tn Hicks Riley company.
 The Owens company is permitte' to carry block and tackle, and tim out may be taken for time used i repairing bridges, or removing op structions from tne road.
 Copies of today's issue of tn Graphic will be distributed by Nj Owens as he passes through Sta City and other communities on tn route, which will be the second tim an Arkansas morning paper has bee delivered below Star City befor noon on the day of issue. The frs time was last Thursday, when M Riley carried copies of the Graphi on his trip in the Essex, last Thurs day, going to Monticello in seve hours.
