To the followers of Jeff who
have claimed that Arkie McCul-1
lough’s father was supporting
Davis for governor, we would
respectfully call attention to the
letter of the injured woman,
written Esquire Phillips, of Cow
Lake township and printed in
this issue.
If the present governor is an
honest friend of the great com
mon people, if his followers in
Jackson county in their hearts
believe in his integrity and
honor, would unfair methods be
resorted to to bolster up his
cause? Is ever a just cause
strengthened by a resort to
trickery? Never. It is a re
flection which falls upon both its
users and the intended benefi
ciary.
If Jackson county is over
whelmingly for Governor Davis,
as John Keel asserts, why should
it be necessary to refuse George
Hillhouse his proper turn at the
Tuckerman speaking and thus
delay until almost night a hear
ing of Judge Wood’s advocate?
Will the voters of Jackson county
who want fair play and honest
dealing, answer upon the 26th of
March? The editor of this paper
has been threatened with de
nouncement upon the stump from
Jeff’s chief satellite in Jackson
county if we continued to take a
hand in the fight for Judge
Wood, and we answer now as
then, “go ahead.”
The Davis following pretend to
have the utmost confidence in the
re-election of their idol, but they
belie this assumed security in
taking every unfair advantage
of their opponents, who would
unmask the deceit and dema
goguery of “Jeff.” Saturday at
Warren Murphy v as not allowed
to answer Davis, being howled
down by the boisterous hench
men of the governor. The cpunty
campaign furnished an instance
of this unfairness upon the same
day when George Hillhouse, who
is exposingjthe record of Jeff,
was not allowed his proper turn
at speaking 'to the Tuckerman
gathering. The election of Davis
is not assured. It is dependenti
upon the success of a few politi
cians to keep the facts from the j
ears of the people, even if the
rules of fair play must be disre
garded and honorable methods
violated.

GOVERNOR DAVIS’
NEGRO APPOINTMENTS.
Pine Bluff, Ark., March 13.—
Gov. Jeff Davis, who is now can
vassing against Judge Wood,
asking a third term as governor
of Arkansas, is saying much
about Wood’s appointment of
negroes to office, and asserting
that he has made no such ap
pointments, except where they
were necessary by an exclusive
negro population in a given ter
ritory. Today Secretary of State
John Crockett wired to Wood’s
friends here:
‘‘W. H. Langford, G. E. Lytle
and Ferd Havis appointed elec
tion commissioners for two years,
July 17, 1900.”
The three served as election
commissioners in this (Jefferson)
county, and were appointed by
Jeff Davis, then attorney gen
eral. Ferd Havis is one of the
j most notorious negro Republicans
in Arkansas, and his appoint
ment ignored many good white
| Republicans here.
