Senator Clarke is the highest
ranking Democrat in that body.
This choice was made by Demo
crats and it is not probable that
they would have selected a man
about whose Democracy there
was any question. The position
itself is one of great dignity and
responsibility, and unless a man
rang true he would never hold
it.
At the Baltimore convention
Senator Clarke took an impor
tant part in the construction of
the Democratic platform. He
challenged the admiration and
respect of the members of the
platform committee and when
questions involving national (Jr
international law were up, Sen
ator Clarke was always con
sulted.
Mr. Bryan and Senator O’
Gorman and Mr. Clarke proba
bly gave more constructive ef
fort to the platform than any
other men on the committee.
The relations of Mr. Bryan
and Senator Clarke are ex
tremely cordial, and Mr. Bryan,
along with other members of
the committee, gave great con
sideration for the ideas ad
vanced by Senator Clarke.
Certainly he was not reaction
ary in the making of this plat
form. He was not a demogogue,
but he was thoroughly Demo
cratic.
Senator Clarke has more

Campbell For Congress.
To the Democrats of the Second Congressional District:
Two years ago I made the race for the Democratic Nomina
tion for Congress from this District. It was my first race. It
was my opponent’s fourth race. I was defeated; although I
received a good vote all over the District, and carried my home
county of Randolph by a handsome majority.
My opponent wants another term. He wants to be perpet
uated in the office. We have made a sweeping change of officers
all over the United States in the last two years. We have put
the Republicans out and the Democrats in, and now have new
men fresh from the people in the different offices of the Federal
Government, almost everywhere except our Congressman. We
still have the same Congressman who served for years with the
Republicans. I believe he has been in Washington City with
the Republicans so long that he has become filled with Republi -
can ideas; and that it is time for a change.
I am therefore, a candidate for the Democratic Nomina
tion for Congress in the Primary Election to be held March 25,
1914. ' - ''
I appeal to every Democrat in the District to give me your
active support in this race. And I promise you that if elected I
will not vote with the Republicans in Congress, nor will I per
mit Republicans to hold our postoffices under a Democratic Ad
ministration. The Republicans did not let the Democrats have
any postoffices during the 16 years they were in power; and I
do not believe in letting the Republicans hold any of the Federal
offices under the Democratic Administration.
I will make some speeches in your county before the close
of the campaign. Watch for the dates, and be sure to come out
to hear me. I will invite my opponent to meet me in joint de
bate, and I promise you now that you will hear some hot stuff.

force in the Senate than any
other Southern member. He is
a great lawyer, he is a keen de
bater, he understands the wants
of his people and he never hesi
tates to tell what they do want.
Certainly big interests have
no use for Senator Clarke. He
is absolutely honest and there
is nothing in his ehtire riecord
that can show a deviation from
the line of strictest integrity.
—Commercial Appeal.
Indictment Has Been Stolen.
Marion, Feb. 23.—The indict
ment charging M. H. Carpenter
of Blytheville with the murder
of his mother-in-law, Nancy E.
Davis, has been stolen. This ad
mission was made to Judge
Gautney, this afternoon by M.
A. Portis, circuit clerk of Mis
isslppi county, Chickasawba dis
trict. A jury had been selected
and every preparation was made
to try Carpenter when it was
discovered that the certified
copy of the indictment failed to
contain the words “Against the
peace and dignity of the State
of Arkansas.” This omission in
itself was sufficient to throw
the case out of court. Carpen
ter was immediately bound over
to the April term of court and
made bond in the sum of $25,
000 for his appearance at that
time.
ORIGINAL INDICTMENT IS
The admission that the origi
nal indictment was stolen was
made subsequent to the discov
ery of the fault in the copy.
Carpenter immediately left for
St. »Louis by a circuitous route
by way of Walnut Ridge. He
avoided going through Blythe
ville, as feeling is said to be;
high against him there.
Much new evidence was
promised to be brought out if
the trial had proceeded. Car
penter was accused of the mur
der of his wife and mother-in
law in January, 1912. He was;
tried and acquitted in Osceola
of the murder of his wife last
spring. The case to be tried
here for the the murder of his
mother-in-law, was taken to
Crittenden county on a change
of venue as feeling was too bit
ter against Carpenter in Mis
sissippi, his home county.

Voung Man Must Hava Friends.
For bqys and: young men friendship
is a prime necessity of existence..
When a man has established himself
in life and the interests of home and
wife and family have absorbed, him,
he may, perhaps, dispense with friend-,
•hip. But as long as he is young, un
married and unsettled, ,he is as de
pendent on friendship as on air or
food. 4

Draper, N C.—Mrs. Helen Dtlfcw, of
BH place, cays: “I suffered for years,
with pains in my left tide, and would
often almost smother to death.
Medicines patched me up lor awhile
but then 1 would get worse again. Final
ly, my husband decided he wanted me to
fry Cardui, the woman's tonic, so he
bought me a bottle and 1 beam using it
it did me more good than all the medi
cines I had taken.
I have induced many of my friends to
Iry Cardui, and they all say they have
been benefited by its use. There never
has been, and never will be, a medicine
to compare with Cardui. I believe it is
l good medicine for ail womanly trou
bles.”
For over 50 years, Cardui has been re
lieving woman’s sufferings and building
weak women up to health and strength.
If you are a woman, give it a fair trial.
It should surely help you, as it has a
million others.
Get a bottle of Cardui to-day.
