Senator Clarke’s Statement.
Senator Clarke has issued a
long statement in regard to the
senatorial situation, in which he
talks frankly, and among other
things, says:
“There is one assurance I feel
disposed to make, although I
deem it to be unnecessary with
those who know me best. I have
never been a party to any fraud,
political or otherwise, and I
know I shall never be knowingly
connected with any such trans
action. I believe I have been
honestly nominated. If any
thing shall transpire hereafter
to satisfy me that the apparent
majority in my favor has been
^ procured by fraudulent means
I shall be the first one to make
that acknowledgement and re
fuse to become the beneficiary of
it. There may have been irreg
ularities in the conduct of the
elction in Poinstt county, but I
i do not believe there has been any
F fraud practiced in my interest.’1
To those who know James P,
F Clarke, beneath the senatorial
3 cloak, and especially those who
r disapproved of his too cold and
independent attitude during the
recent campaign, the above
words of Senator Clarke will
; carry conviction. A man who is
* too independent to ask for votes
* is not going to be a party to
; theft of votes nor knowingly
: profit by such theft by others in
his interest.
We believe it will be the gen
» eral verdict, whatever the result
of the contest over th snatorial
. nomination, andwhateveropinion
as to alleged irregularities any
wnere, tnat senator Clarke
would do exactly as he says
above he would do in the event
it were shown that fraud was
practiced to his advantage—de
cline the nomination. To a friend
who, during the recent campaign
remonstrated with him for his
j ^dependence, he said, “I’ve got
to be Independent, that’s all I’ve
got.” He could not continue to
be independent with a title on
which he believed there was a
cloud.—Fort Smith Times Rec
ord. ....
