Man With a Re-

When the ballot box and official re-
turns of the primary election in the
Cacniler precinct were delivered at
the office of the county clerk here
about IL O'Clock Tuesday night there
was nothing to show how many votes
had been cast there Cor the various
candidates on the senat.-eial. congress
sional, state and county l.ckets. much
to the regret OF those who we.e await
ing the figures for the press and other
purposes
Hearing the murinurs of disappoint-
ment among those in the room the
man brining the ballot box in volun-
teered to furnish the desired informa-
ticn from memory, and reeled on the
figures for each candidate from his
recollection as readily as il reading
from manuscript
Subsequent investigation proved
that he was correct in every detail
1t was great achievement in memou-
les, and but one person in 10000 could
duplicate it, He made no effort to
fix these figures in his mind before
leaving Chandler, and quoted them
several hours after they had been
shown him with glibness and acour.

witnessed the performance of the

While we sit around our fresides these long winter nights, let us think what kind of men we have got to run our county, state and nation. Do our county officers do the work that they were elected to do? Have we pro- gressive men in office that we are proud of? Do they enforce the laws Do they spend our money judiciously Is our road tax spent on our public roads? Have we got good roads and bridges in Polk county? Do we want to dip our cattle another year? Do we want a hog law for next year? Do our school directors enforce our & hool law of education? And many o her thing pertaining to the running of our county needs attention. Why does our state legislature have to meet four times a year? And why can't the good people of the State of Arkansas have new constitution And why do our congressman of Ar kansas allow the politicians of our na- tional Congress to check progress in accepting the peace treaty or league of nations, and keep our nation in an unsettled condition? All these ques- tions need careful thought and study on the part of the voters of our coun- try. Think about the primaries that will be called soon to nominate good men to fill all these places of trust Be sure and nominate the man who will represent the voters of our country. Business men and farmers give this your attention.
