! SORRY DEMOCR\TS
LOST NEXT HOUSE.
\ —:
j Congressman Brundidge Believes Re
publicans Would Have had no
Chance for Next President
| Had Democrats Secured
| Control of House.
Congressman S. Brundidge, Jr., of
Searcy was among the prominent,
visitors in Tattle Rock Tuesday. In
r§p!y to a query from a Gazette re
porter Mr. Brundidge said that he did
not agree with anyone who advanced
the theory that it was better for the
Democrats not to control the _next
house. “If the Democratic party had
come into power,” he said, “there
would undoubtedly have beer, trust
and tariff legislation in that branch of
congress. Any measures passed by a
Democratic house would undoubtedly
have been killed by the Repuciican
senate. Thus the burden and res
ponsibility of the whole matter would
have been thrown entirely upon the
Republicans, and redounded to the
credit of the Democrats before the
great, mass of people, who are in favor
of tariff revision. As it is now I do
not believe that there will be any ac
tion taken on trust questions in the
next congress. As to putting tbe
tariff into the hands of a commission
tor Recommendations. I do not be
lieve that it amounts to a row of pins;
except tor accomplishing the purpose
of tbe, Republican party to delay all
action on the burning question. It,
has been tbe history of every com
mission of the sort that I know of
t-Rrtr .inlnw limu i.hfl rtTMlYlA rARIllt.
Tatty never amount to anything else,
and if the tariff is put iuto the hands
ot a commission I am convinced that
the result will be the same.
Toe last session of the present con
gress, which will begin in a few days,
will be occupied mainly in making ap
propriations, at leaat until after the
holidays, and trust legislation is going
to be knocked out on that score. The
Republicans don’t want to do any
tktug, and all their efforts will be
concentrated in delay.
1 If the Democrats had won in the
last election and an anti-trust meas
j ure. as I said, had been killed by the
‘ Re mblicau senate in the next ecn
"gress, I don’t believe the Republicans
would have had any need to puts
candidate for president in the field,
the sentiment of the country would
have been so overwhelmingly Demo
cratic.”
Mr. Brundidge will leave next
Thursday for Washington, next Mon
day being the date for congress tc
convene, when the president’s mes
sage will be read. "*
FOUND TOGETHER
WITH THROATS CUT
Texarkana, Nov. 25.— At 2 o’clock
this afternoon Lee Weigel and his wift
were found in their room at the Cos
mopolitan hotel with their throats cut
The woman was dead, but Weigel waf
still alive, though unable to move fron
loss of blood. A bloody razor lay 01
the floor near the bed. Weigel wat
taken to a sanitarium, where hi*
wounds were dressed. He will proba
bly recover. He is conscious, but re
fuses to make any statement. Abou
a week ago he went away, saying ht
was going to get married, and yester
day returned, accompanied by i
young woman, whom he introduce!
as his wife. She said she was Misi
Marie Quinn of Anniston, Ala., a
which place, it was Btated, the mar
riage took place last Friday. Th'
couple took a room at the Cosmopoll
tan at 1 o’clock yesterday afternoon
and it seems that neither left it again
as they did not come down for suppe
last night nor breakfast or dinner to
day. An inquest is being held. Qn
report has it that the pair were mar
ried two or three years ago, butssoo:
quarreled and separated, and had bu
recently concluded to try living to
gether again. Weigel was parti,
reared here.
DICKINSON APPROVES
PURCHASE
Attorney-General G. W. Murph
has received the following letter fror
Col. G. W. Dickinson at Arkansa
City: “1 notice the purchase of th
Cummings place, 11,000 acres, fo
$140,000, upon reasonable terms.
■ kniwthis place and the strength c
! its soil, and consider it a No. 1 farr
| for the purpose for which it wa
bought. At the present advance
price of rich lands, with its improve
ments, it is worth $25 per acre. Th
cypress brake alone ought to brin
one-third of the money, since cypres
timber now brings a good price, an
good cypress brakes are gettin
scarce. I am growing my thirty-fift
cotton crop in this valley and believ
1 know the value of rich cotton lane
