Little Rock Letter

II Is only little more than three
months until the Democratic pu-
mary is held. There Is probably
less interest being shown at this
time In the ELECTION than has existed
in many years None of the state
campaigns have opened up very
strong and IN several instances the
line up has no. yet been determined
It's IN some particulars an of year,
but this does not entirely account
Tor the lack of interest. II would
seem that the real reason Is that the
people are not as deeply interested
IN practical politics as they have
been In previous campaigns This
seems to meet with the approval OF
many of the candidates as a short
and snsppy campaign is really more
exciting and less expensive than a
protracted, long drs wn-out siege OF
the voters.
There are fewer Congressional
contests this year than before.

this land he built a commodlous

OF France and Italy.
Many Americans, wellup in mat

thai France and Italy may never

for the most part, appear anxious
that France should ratify the four

end TO the Anglo-Japanese alliance.
But there In no anxiety felt over the

dread battle-cruisers OF the American
