"a belt of mud, a 100 miles wide
in places, prevented Arkansas from
having port as well as a metropo-
lis, a civilization and a history
"The kind Of folk that pirates ter
rorize and merchants cheat and
planters impress into peonage were
the wandering sheep that grazed
their way into Arkansas TO establish
there a morOn's paradise"
Whenever Arkansawyers appear
in Kansas, California, South Caro-
lima or Texas, the natives hold up
their hands in horror fearing that
their spartan state will be erased by
the obliterating helot swarm"
THE Arkansawyers are race
compounded of three strains Of
American roughneck blood with no
trace of gentility.'
"Uncouth audaclty is the tradition
of Arkansas. The trick of the Ar
kansawyer is TO capitalize his boor-
ishness."
AT the opening of the world war
Arkansas was for Germany to a

Politics seem 10 change with the
weeks, and candidates for one office
today are definately offering for an
other tomorrow, but to get a definite
alignment is of interest to the voters
Of Arkansas. The prospective can
didates for governor last week, is
this week shy two of those "promi-
nently mentioned" but there are two
others TO take their places. Jim
Ferguson, three times Commissioner
Of Mines, Manufactures and Agricul-
ture is now candidate for Con-
gress in the Third District TO sue
ceed John II. Tillman. Jacob r.
Wilson, late president of the Arkan-
sas Senate, now assures his political
friends that he will accept the nomi-
nation for Congress in the Seventh
District, IL a sufficient number of
votes are cast in his behalf Till
man Parks, incumbent, is a candi-
date for reelection. Geo. W. Clarke,
circuit judge, residing at Conway, Is
said TO be a prospective candidate for
governor. In some quarters Gov T.
G. McRae is considered possibility.
Gov. McRae has informed num-
. ber of people that If he could not get
his policies enacted into laws by the
General Assembly, that re would
take II TO the people" He told the
Arkansas Bankers Association. when
It declined to indorse his income tax,
that he would do the same thing Ii
is reasoned that the only way Gov
McRae could take his platform TO the
people would be to run again for
governor. Since Virgil c. Petite in.
timated that the "office should seek
the man" his mail has been heavy
with letters demanding that he enter
, the race, and his friends indicate that
he will be pressed so strong he must
yield TO popular demand.
