All Candidates Must File Pledges
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, July 30. —It has
been discovered that the provis
ions <<r the corrupt practices act,
passed by the last legislature,
while intended for primary elec
ions of the corrupt practices act,
special elections” of whatever na
ture. It provides that candidates
in any primary election shall file
a pledge thirty days before the e
lection. This requirement had
been generally accepted as apply
ing only to primary elections.
Throughout the act primary e
lections only are referred to, un
til the last section, which reads
♦
as follows:
“Section 13- The provisions
’ of this act shall apply to all gen
eral and special elections held
for any purpose in this state.
Should this section be held in
valid by the courts, it shall not
thereby be understood as affect
ing and shall not affect the pro
visions of this act ”
Therefore, the act requires
that nominees for office, at the
September election are required
to file their pledges just as they
were for the primary.
Judge J- M. Barker of Camden,
nominee for Chancellor, has al
ready filed his pledge and is the
first to do so.
Pardons For Orphan I?oys.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, July 30. —Govern
or Hays has pardoned Roy and
Dewey Stokes, two boys convict
ed at Fayetteville on a charge of
grand larceny, and sentenced to
the reform school- Their pardon
was recommended by a large
number of citizens, as well as of
ficials.
The boys were left orphans at
the ages of 3 and 5, and were
brought up by an aunt, Mrs. Sam
Stokes, who recently suffered a
second paralytic stroke, and is
not expected to recover- The
boys have been forced largely to
shift for themselves
“Condign punishment for youth
ful indiscretions is not always
the best way to reform wayward
iboys,” is one of the arguments
j advanced by the petitioners,
j “The lot of an orphan boy is al
' ways a hard one, his path
through life is beset with tempt
ations that often prove too
strong for youth blessed with pa
i rental love and guidance.”
Notice.
Owing to the advances in pro
visions we are compelled to ad

i Municipal Referendum Useless.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, July 30.—The mu
nicipal referendum act passed by
the last legislature is proving to
be very limited in its powers. By
a strict interpretation of the law,
it appears that scarcely anything
besides franchises are referrable,
and only kinds of franchises are
included
The people of Glenwood sought
to have referred an ordinance
prohibiting the erection of wood
en buildings in a limited district
of the town, thereby establish
ing a fire district. Attorney
General Moose held that such an
ordinance is not referrable, as
it comes within the police power
of the city.
The act says;
“No order of referendum shall
be allowed upon any ordinance
that is for the support and main
tenance of the municipal gov
ernment in any of its branches,
for deficiencies in former appro
priations ; for the exercise of po
lice power; or for the immediate
relief of persons in distress.’’
Marry At Batesvilie.
Miss Carrie Schott, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Max Schott of
Little Rock, and Mr. Walter
Ducker, proprietor of the Wright
Hotel at Poplar Bluff, Mo., were
married at 12 o’clock Tuesday
night at the Arlington Hotel at
Batesvilie by Justice J- A.
Holmes. Mr. and Mrs. Ducker
were here yesterday morning en
route home to Poplar Bluff,
Mo. The bride was on a visit to
her uncle, Herman Schott, of
Batesvilie
