Earle W. Hodges Visits New
port.
Hon. Earle W. Hodges, our
present efficient, courteous and
popular Secretary of State, who
is asking renomination at the
hapds of the Democracy of Ar
kansas, spent Wednesday night
and Thursday jporning in the
city meeting the voters of Jack
son county.
Mr. Hodges is a Northeast Ar
kansas boy, was born in Newark
and was elected to state office
from Randolph county. He is
clean and trustworthy and his
administration of the office he
now holds, speaks for itself in
highest words of praise. He has
ever been fair and courageous in
discharging his duties and we
hope that Jackson county will
give him an overwhelming ma
jority.
District Candidates Speak.
Only a fair audience of voters
greeted the candidates for prose
cuting attorney Wednesday
night to hear a presentation of
their claims.
Claude M. Erwin presided and
introduced , the speakers, who
were Tom W. Campbell of Poca
hontas, who was given a half
hour in behalf of his candidacy
for congress, after which Messrs.
Earl Casey, Hugh Williamson,'
John S. Gibson, Thornberry ]
Gray and Ira J. Matheny were j
heard.
City Primary Warm.
In the city primary today, the
contest for nomination for every
office upon the ticket brought
out a full vote of the white elec
tors, and there will probably be
over 350 votes cast before the
polls close.
The candidates and many of
their friends are putting in the
day campaigning and the crowd
about the precinct at the city
hall indicates the interest in the
result.

Much Interest Shown.
Dr. T. B. Bradford, the hook
worm expert, has been the busi
est man in town for the past
three days, showing visitors the
curiosities connected with the
work.
The children from the public
schools of the city flocked to
the office of Dr. E. L. Watson,
county health officer, where the
specialist had on exhibition the
eggs and full grown worms.
Much interest was shown in
the exhibit, many being examin
ed and getting information as to
the cause and prevention.
Dr. Bradford will make a re
turn trip here, March 1G-17-1K
and he wishes to have all exam
ined who will come to see him.
The work of prevention of
disease is rapidly taking prece
dence over attempting to cure
after it is contracted.
Dr. Bradford goes to Swifton
and Tuckerman from Newport.
Two Candidates For Overseer.
The Independent is authorized
and takes pleasure in announcing
the candidacy of two of our best
Union township farmers, George
Foushee and J. C. Hogan, as
candidates for road overseer,
subject to the action of the
March 25 Primary
There is hardly' one thing
about these two gentlemen that
could not be as truthfully said of
the other. Each has his
closest friends of course, but tliC
most of our citizens are belieV
ers in both.
They know how to farm aind
i should know how to handle the
1 road problems. They are ener
getic, capable and persevering.
1 Both have been successful and
enjoy the esteem of the people.
! We bespeak for the candidacy
of each, the respectful consid
! oration of the voters.
