TIGHT ELECTION
JAW FRAMED
Newly Proposed 'Law Being
Drafted Will Insure Hones
ty of Party Primaries.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, July 22.—The
new state election law, which is
being prepared by the commit
tee appointed by the State Dem
ocratic convention, will be tight
as a drum head, and be able to
stand alone, according to Judge
Joseph M Hill, one of the com
mittee. Each member of the
committee, of which Stephen
Brundidge is the chairman, is
now making a rough dhaft of
the sections he thinks should be
imbodied in the new law, and
there will soon be a meeting at
which the best of these will be
selected, and the work of fram
ing them into a bill will be as
signed to one member of the
committee.
According to Judge Hill, the
bill must contain a clause which
will forfeit the nomination in
case a contest is sustained, and
ways will be devised to provide
a tribunal for the hearing of
contests, where the contestant
will have ample protection.
The members of the commit
tee are convinced that the people
want an election law that will
force absolute honesty in elec
tions, and that they will insist
that the legislature adopt the
report of this committee, if it is
drastic enough to insure the
candidate receiving the highest
number of legitimate votes, the
nomination.

Within ten days Fort Smith
will be added to the “dry” towns
of Arkansas, unless some legal
step can be taken by the attor
neys representing the liquor in
terests of the Border City,
which will permit the saloons to
remain open. With a court or
der to close on August 1, the sa
loon men will not admit that
they are going out of business
on that date, though many of
.the saloon keepers are closing
out their goods at remarkably
reduced prices.
Among a number of the Fort
Smith saloon men, there is the
impression that they will be
benefactors through public sen
timent being in their favor, and
though it be in violation of the
law, that they will be permitted
to continue in business during
the year 1914. As in many
towns where “blind tigers” are
operated because the people are
not really in favor of a closed
town, the saloon men of Fort
Smith hope to operate. Few
outside the saloon business take
this view of the matter how
ever, for they expect the law to
be enforced. vi -
The saloon men of Fort Smith
filed a petition under the Going
ict, which was acted upon fav
orable to them by the county
iudge, and licenses were grant
ed. An appeal was taken by
Vl O a —*
;ures on the liquor petition were
ittacked, and a census of the
■ity was taken by both sides to
ee if the petition contained a
najoritv of white adults. Judge
>aniel Hon, in circuit court,
ver-ruled the action of the
ounty court and ordered the sa
lons to close Augus't 1.
As the saloons have paid li
ense for the year, to state and
ounty, it is claimed that the sa- |
50ns can secure a city license
nd will be able to run in spite ‘
f the ruling of the circuit court,
rom which an appeal has been [
aken to the Supreme Court of [
Arkansas.
