Little Rock Letter

Little Rock, Aug. 20-some wag has
suggested that each county put forth
candidate for the gubernatorial nom
ination in which case Pulaski county,
casting the created number of votes
would secure the nomination. With
the growing list Of prospective candi-
dates, it appears as though some coun-
ty will not limit themselves to one.
The latest one mentioned for guber-
Material honors is the Rev. A. G. Mil
lar. editor Of the Arkansas Methodist
and for many years president Of Hen
dirk College. Il is understood that
DIR. Millar win become a candidate if
he is assured certain support, and
prominent men of Arkansas who are
graduates of Hendrix College are feel
ing the political pulse TO see If this
support is obtainable. Quite a sur
prise was sprung last week when Tom
j. Terral. who has been delivering ad-
dresses at picnics and semi-political
functions over the state, declared that
he was not an avowed candidate for
the nomination. Whether this means
that Mr.. Terral will not make the race
or that he is awaiting the proper
time TO make his announcement has
not been determined. Vergil G. Petite,
while he has made no definite an
nouncement. Is considered a certain
candidate. Close friends have stated
that in short time he viii resign his
secretaryship Of the State Democratic
Central Committee and announce his
candidacy. Mr.. Petite recently re-
celyed a petition from Craighead coun-
ty. his old home, signed by over 1900
citizens. requesting him to become a
candidate for governor. Judge Geo.
w. Clarke Of Conway is the only man
who has declared himself candidate.
John NJ. Quarles Representative
from Phillips county, was in Little
lkOfk itNl Mffk anu lAAiNA AA't AAANtaet'
that he would later announce as a
candidate for governor with a high
way program that would give relief
to the taxpayers as his platform. DR..
George J.. Sands, president of the Ark
ansas Farmers Union, has been con
sidered prospective candidate for
some weeks, but it would take one
with the wisdom Of a solomon TO as
certain the real political significance
of recent movements Of the farm and
labor elements. Most Of the polite
ians are Of the opinion that the spe-
cial session of the legislature, if Il is
called, will see political sentiment
crystalized and Immediately after its
adjournment announcements for all
state officers will be forthcoming.

The suggestion has been made that
one of the best investments which
could be made by the banks of the
state would be TO finance model farm
in each county of Arkansas. If a
tract Of 10 or 20 acres located on some
good highway near the city or county
seat could be financed to the extent
of making ii a model in every respect,
ii would be the greatest incentive to
other farmers of the county. II has
been demonstrated that intensively
farmed a small tract of good land can
be made to yield a good living for a
family. If the owner had sufficient
funds to provide all modern conven-
fences in the home the barns, and in
the fields, so that he would not be
pressed for funds for actual living
expenses, it would be possible for
him to make successful demon
stration in dairying, market garden
ing, small fruits, poultry and other
remunerative branches of farming.
1t need not be a donation on the part
of the bank, but only loan.

The flood of requests for special
legislation will in itself probably de-
feat all such local laws in the extra
session of the legislature which it is
expected Governor McRae will call in a
short time. Hundreds of requests of
all kinds have been received by the
Governor, enough for a regular sixty
days session. The Governor does not
wish to discriminate and may there
fore decide TO grant none of these
petitions. but to confine the business
of the extra session strictly to high
way and revenue legislation.
