CARD FROM MR. ARD.
Xo My Fellow-Citizens and Sup
porters:
I am anxious to use this meth
; od in expressing to one and all
my sincere thanks for your
friendship and support in my
last candidacy for the office of
representative of Jackson county.
While I did (by choice) take
upon myself the farm side of life,
I began to realize the need of a
farmer’s say beyond the ballot
;box. As procrastination is the
thief of time, thus it behooves
the man who stands without the
ring to understand now these
combined forces of wrong are
oppressing the true-blue of our
Southern Democracy until we
will not know ourselves from the
| slaves of olden times, except in
! color. As lovers of man dealing
honestly with our fellow man let
| us not stand in the error of our
! own way, but vindicate the jus
tice of our cause to a victorious
finish.
Again I thank those that gave
willingly their defense to me in
the px’inciples I represented and
the frauds I endeavored to ex
pose.
Yours for the betterment of
Arkansas’ government,
J. U. Ard.
