The log cabin Democrat., 1920-08-04
l. + FOR TWO CANDIDATES. ;: + .a.s....--.....-.--..--......-...--..-.--.'.

In the campaign now drawing to a close the Log Cabin Democrat has ] thought best to maintain an unbiased
 position and to refrain from exerting
 itself in behalf of any candidate for a 1 Democratic nomination.
 i For the important offices of United States senator and governor the peo-
 pie have had ample opportunity,
 through hearing speeches and reading literature and advertisements, to
 judge fo themselves as to the candl-
 date whom they bel eve to be best fit
 ted for the nomination. For the coun-
 ty offices the candidates are all well
 known men, whose records and quail
 fcations are familiar to all the people.
 There are, however, two important
 state offices for which the contests
 have been overshadowed by the vigor ous campaigns for senator and gover- nor, and to which the voters have probably given little thought and at tention. For these positions the Log Cabin Democrat has decided perfer- ences which it desires to present to it's readers.
 J. s. Utley, a native Faulkner county young man, now a citizen of Saline county, is a candidate for at torney general. To the people who knew him when he lived here no word of commendation is necessary. To those who have become citizens since he left the county, the Log Cabin Democrat can conscientiously say that Sim" Utley is in every sense of the word a Christian gentleman of the highest type; that he is a farmer boy by his own efforts has given himself thor ough college education: that he is a lawyer whose ability is recognized wherever he is known. The Log Cabin Democrat knows nothing against the character of his opponent and the between the two has been on a high plane. But 1t knows that MT. Utley is thoroughly qualified and that he will make the state splendid at torney general, and this paper there ! fore urges the Democrats of Faulkner county to give this former citizen their united support.
 The other position is that of sec retary of state, for which there are two candidates, Ira C. Hopper of i county and T. C. Cargile, who claims Conway county as his home. From a careful investigation of the records of the records of the two men from information obtained [ through personal sources in which it i has absolute confidence, the Log Cabin ! Democrat believes that Mr Hopper is decidedly the better man for the place. | People who know Mr. Hopper best say his character is of the highest type. | He was reared on farm and gradu- i ated at the University of Arkansas and University law school At the outbreak of the war he volunteered and | served two years, II months overseas, four months on the firing line and eight months in the army of occupa- ton. MT. Cargile is now operating an oil stock exchange at Little Rock. i Some of the best citizens of Morrill, l ton, where he formerly resided, to say the least, do not commend him. But | even admitting that his character and 1 qualifications are the equal of MT. it is the belief of the Log Cabin Democrat that MT. Hopper's patriotic service to his county entities him to the support of the Democracy of Arkansas
 When you go to the polls you will make no mistake if you vote for J. s. Utley for attorney general and Ira C. 1 Hopper for secretary of state.
