L ANNUAL CONVENTION.
M Clayton, Hampton Moore and

jPpks in Attendance Upon State
f League Meeting.
Little Rock, May 17.—With a
flow of oratory the tenth annual
convention of the Arkansas State
League of Republican Clubs was
held at the Capital theatre in
this city yesterday.
The business of the convention
occupied only a short portion of
the day and consisted chiefly of
the election of officers and dele
gates to the meeting of the na
tional league. The remainder of
the time was taken up with ad
dresses by Gen. Powell Clayton,
United States ambassador to
Mexico; Hon. J. Hampton Moore
of Philadelphia, president of the
National League of Republican
Clubs, and Hon. Sid B. Redding,
president of the Arkansas state
league.
The election of officers resulted
in the selection of Ulyssus S.
Bratton of Little Rock, assistants
United States district attorney,]
as president and Philip Waters]
of Little Rock as secretary.
Major P. K. Roots of Little Rock
was re-elected treasurer.
The oratorical feature of the
convention was marked by a plea
for harmony among the opposing
Republican factions. Gen. Pow
ell Clayton made a personal ap
peal for unity, declaring that he
had come from Mexico City for
the purpose of exerting his in
fluence to that end.
The convention was opened at
10:15 o’clock by President SidB.
Redding. The theater was well
filled by the delegates and spec
tators, the delegates occupying
the parquet. The auditorium was
profusely decorated with the na
tional colors and pictures of Mc
Kinley and Roosevelt occupied
positions on the stage.
The convention was opened
with prayer by Rev. J. M. Bead
les of the Scott Street M. E.
church. Hon. H. L. Remmel
announced the presence in the
city of Gen. Powell Clayton and
moved that a committee be ap

There is a big difference be
tween the cost of making a first
class sewing machine, embodying
the best materials and workman
ship, and one which is made in the
cheapest manner. The buyer of
the cheap machine soon pays the
difference of price in the constant
cost for repairs, to say nothing of
its annoying inefficiency.
