SECRETARY TO
THEJiOVERNOR
BULLION fftOBNBLE NPOOMTEE
Conway Man Believed to Have
Been Named.
Inaugural Massage of Gov .-Elect Donaghey
4 Now Practically Com
pleted.
Although neither Mr. Dona
ghey nor Mr. Bullion are yet wil
ling to authorize the announce
ment, The Log Cabin Democrat is
able to state today upon authority
that scarcely leaves any question
as to its correctness, that Bruce T.
Bullion of this city will be named
as the private secretary to Governor
G“orge W. Donagliey. When
asked of the appointment before
leaving for Little Rock this morn
ing, Gov. Donaghey did not deny
that Mr. Bullion would be his se
lection, but stated that he had
already informed all the news
paper men that none of his appoint
ments would be given out until
his inauguration.
Mr. Bullion and family are, how
ever, already preparing to move to
the capital city early in January,
but he, of course, would make no
statement concerning the appoint
ment until it hau been authorized
by the governor-elect.
The appointment of private sec
retary carries with it the office of
adjutant general of the Arkansas
state guard, and the salaries of the
two positions make it a desirable
V jlum from a financial standpoint.
Former Captain in Army.
Mr. Bullion is a son of former
Representative T. J. Bullion and
has lived in this county since his
early boyhood. When volunteer
companies were being organized
for service in the Spanish- Amer
icsn war in 1898, Mr. Bullion, on
account of his previous military
training and his popularity, was
the unanimous choice of the com
pany organized here for captain,
and served with credit as captain

teers until honorably discharged
at the close of the hostilities. He
then took up the study of law, and
after serving as court stenographer
for the seventeenth judicial circuit
for about three years, began the
practice of his profession in this
city.
When Mr. Donaghey began his
campaign for governor, he secured
the services of Mr. Bullion as his
confidential secretary, which posi
tion he has since held. Practi
cally without opposition he was
elected secretary of the state Dem
ocratic central committee at the
convention held in Little Rock
last June.
Mr. Bullion is now serving his
third term as alderman of the third
ward in this city and his removal
to Little Rock will necessitate the
election of a successor early next
year.
Message Almost Completed.
Gov. Donaghey stated this
morning that the principal parts
of his inaugural message to the
general assembly had been drawn,
although the document had not
yet been reduced to its final form.
After spending the first six mouths
after his nomination educating
himself, as it were, for the
office of chief executive, Mr. Don
aghey has devoted all of his
spare time for the past sixty days
in digesting and putting in
to language the ideas gained
by him on his tour of the nation,
together with the principles out
lined in his platform when he made
the race for governor. In order to
be as free as possible from inter
ruption, Gov. Donaghey secured
the temporary use of an office in
the upper story of the court house,
and there, surrounded by a veri
table library of data, he has been
hard at work upon the paper
which will embody his recommen
dations to the legislature and out
line the policy of his administra
tion.

Piano Contest Closes To-Night
Race in Second District Between Miss Mary N. Reeves and Miss
Minnie Carter is Very Close, with Each Side
Confident of Victory.
Tonight promptly at six o’clock, the Log Cabin Democrat's
Piano Voting Contest will close, and as soon thereafter as the com
mittee can canvass the votes the names of the winners will be an
nounced.
The withdrawal of Miss Kvie Shaw in District No. i practi
cally decided that contest in favor of Miss Mollie Livingston sever
al days ago, but the race in District No. 2 between Miss Mary N.
Reeves and Miss Minnie Carter has been very close, and the friends
of each contestant have expressed confidence that the final count
will show their favorite to be in the lead.
Frank Parris, assistant cashier of the Bank of Conway; V. D.
Hill, assistant cashier of the Faulkner County Bank, and L. B.
Pence have been selected as a committee to canvass the vote.
They will take charge of the ballots immediately upon the close of
the contest and will probably be able to announce the result within
an hour.
The count at noon today showed that Miss Minnie Carter had
climbed to the lead, but so close is Miss Marv N. Reeves that it
might be considered a tie for first place.
The following is the standing at noon:
District No. i
Miss Mollie Livingston ... 80,695
