CRITICISES THE
COMMISSIONERS
_ I
REYNOLDS HINTS AT FRAUD
-“
Insinuates that Ballots were not
Fairly Counted.
Defeated Candidate for County Judge
Claims Commissioners Did Not
Comply With Law.
In a communication to The Log
Cabin Demociat, I. R. Reynolds,
the Republican nominee lor coun
ty Judge, who was defeated by
judge J. A. Lea at the election ol
Sept. 14, complains of ihe alleged
fact that he is unable to secure the
official returns of the election,
stating that he had a “handsome
majority” in eight townships and
c'uld not hear from any others.
He insinuates that Judge Lea de
pended on the commissioners to
“take care of him" and that the
commissioners have not complied
with the law in filing the returns
in the clerk’s office. Mr.Reynolds,
however, does not state that he in
tends to make a contest for the of
fice. His communication follows:
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
Will you give me space through
the columns of your paper to ex
press my deep sense of appreciation
to the voters of Faukner county
for the honor that they did me at
the recent election, thereby ex
pressing their confidence in me
and at the same time giving a hint
to the political manipulators of 1
what they think of the way in i
which they have been running at
fairs politically.
For reasons to me unknown
Mr. Lea refused to meet me and
discuss the issues before the peo
ple. Was it because he was not
interested or did he thiuk that the
ofiiee belonged to him, or was it
because he depended on the elec
tion commissioners to take care of
him, as every indication shows
that they did? Mr. Editor, I am
not a pessimist and have not lost
confidence in the people, but the
way matters have turned out since
the election has given me and the
people reason to believe tha: there
is something radically wrong.
It has usually been the custom
and Section 2836 of Kirby’s Digest
requires the election commission
ers to file their certificate in the
clerk's office within 15 days,
showing the result of the
election, but for some reasc n un
known to me the election commis
sioners have failed, and I am re
liably imformed, refuse to file this
report, that the light be turned on*
The only returns that I have
ever been able to get was up to
12 o’clock the next day after the
election. Out of eight Democratic
townships in the north and north
east corner of the county, I had a
handsome majority, where the
voters are all white and the votes
counted as cast. Now, at this
juncture the deadlock came, and
everything is as mute as the seal
of death. If the election commis
sioners are doing the rigl t th ng,
why withhold the vote from the
people?
I have been tola by tenable men
that voUd in Cadron township
late in the afternoon that their
| vote numbered a little over 300,
| but the returns show over 1100 as
I per report in paper of later date.
So again thanking the people
; tor the trust and confidence that
they reposed in me as expressed
j at the polls, I will ever feel proud
of your compliment.
I. R. Rrvnolos,
! Enola, Ark., Sept. 29.
Commissioners Make Reply.
Mr. Reynolds’ letter to The Log
; Cabin Democrat was shown this
morning to W. H. Duncan, chair
man, and J. B. Higgins, secretary
1 of the county board of election
1 commissioners. They stated that
they had no reply to make to the
charges of Mr. Reynolds. He had
! never applied to them tor the tab
ulated returns of the election, said
the commissioners, and if he had
done so his request would have
been readily complied with. The
commissioners then copied and
furnished this paper for publication
the tabulated returns by townships
! on the office of county judge, show
j ingthat Lea's majority was 809.
“As to Cadron township,” re
marked one of the commissioners,
I “you will notice that Lea’s major
ity in the county outside of Cadron
was about 300, so that the entire
township could have been thrown
out without altering the result.
Mr. Reynolds seems to forget that
there were three voting precincts
in Cadron township, and that the
number of a ticket voted sometime
in the afternoon at one of these
precincts is no indication of what
the total vote of the township
would be.”

WHAT MAKES IT SO?
An apt illustration, de
scribed in a word picture,
by a Banking-by-mail ad
vertisement describes the
situation and difference
when you don’t progress
and keep in the front
ranks of commercialism:
Time was when men lived
and died in their narrow
valleys and had no com
merce beyond their native
village. Others were waft
ed in their fairy barks by
inconstant winds over
treacherous seas that do
but connect the lands
they divide.
Today great ships,
floating cities, plow the
waves to every port, bear
ing swift mails. Conti
nents are bound by bauds
of steel, and trains fly
with the mails from sea
to sea. State lines dis
appear. The world is
one country and all men
are brothers.
So to keep in the march
of civilization we strive
to be in front, surround
ing ourselves with the
safest, best and most
modern methods known
with which to do a safe,
souud and profitable bus
iness.
Our customers, so long
entrusting their business
to us deserve this, and
we wish to state now, as
heretofore, our aim is—
first, absolute protection
for our customers whose
business we ask, then we
know our success is sure.

TOWNSHIP LINE CHANGED
Predicted that Northern and Eastern
Townships Will be Dissolved.
The line between Cadron and
Clifton townships was slightly
changed by order of the county
court this morning, about 20 acres
being added to Cadron, so as to in
clude all of the southwest of the
northeast, section 13, township 6,
range 14.
It is predicted that the court will
at an early date make an order
dissolving some townships in the
northern and eastern part of the
county. At least one township in
that section will, it is said, be dis
solved at the next term of county
court, which convenes next week.

Pay Gash for Meat
and Save Money!
On October i we will begin
selling on a strictly cash basis.
Nothing will be charged to any
body. Those who do not wish
to pay for each purchase may
buy coupon books good for $3 or
$5 in meat, and a discount of
ten percent will be made, mak
ing the books cost $2.70 and
$4.50. Unused portions of these
books will "be redeemed in cash.
The credit system has proved
a failure and is just as bad for
the consumer as for the dealer.
By selling strictly for cash we
expect to be able to furnish bet
I ter goods and to save money for
our customers. We hope this
action will meet the approval of
our customers and we assure
them that everybody will be
treated ex-aetly alike, no excep
tions being made to this rule, dtf
