\Ol K LIBERTY ltONI)
Tin* tuitod States (luvcrmnent boro
rov i*d money from you to ti mince thoi
war. You hold tlio government's prom-|
:>,• tii-jiwy you hack. This promise is.
called a Libor y Hcial or Victory Note,
tin this houtl is stated tilt" conditions|
outlet' witich tlie government borrowed
the nonet from you.
For instance: If you lolj a bond of
the Third Lilierty Loan, it states tliat
on April 15th mid October 15th of each
year until maturity, you will receive
interest on the amount you paid for
the Bond. Other issues bear other
rates of interest and other maturity
dates, all of which tire clearly stated
on the bond.
Now. if you keep your bond until the
date when the government pays you
in full for it. you do not need to worry
if, in tin* meantime, the price is low
one day or high the next. You and
I nele Sam are living up to your agree
ment with each other, and neither will
lose" by it.
tin the other hand, if you sell your
Lilierty Itond now. you \yi 11 find that
the man you sell it to will not give you
a dollar for every dollar you paid for
it. The price has been brought down
because so many people are offering
to sell their Houds. If the market is
flooded with tomatoes, you can buy
them cheap, but if everyone is clamor
ing for tomatoes and there are few to
be had, the price goes up. The same is
true of Liberty Bonds.

OPENING SPEECH
Was Made at Searcy Saturday
—Very Little to Say of
Opponents.
Searcy, May !!!>.—Col. T. C. McRae
delivered the oftening speech in his
campaign for governor here tins after
noon to a large audience of city and
country people. He spoke at the
court house and was introduced by Col.
S. Brundldge with whom he served in
Congress for several years and who
is ardently supporting his candidacy.
Col. McRae gave much attention to
issues affecting education, agriculture,
taxes, raids and highways, internal
improvements, law enforcement and.
other cn.estions vitally concerning the
interest-; of the people.
He ad ,'iten ted the abolition of the
Tax Commission and the Auditorial

ins iMti a- He urged tile necessity
of at o! '>:■ tin* corporation commis
sion and :vt ruing to the railroad com
Imhsioii plan. He advocated statutes;
pended iii operation of those properties
and in the necessary business of this
state, and business judgment of a high
order as well as honesty of purpose
are required to oversee these matters.
“My sole ambition is to give (lie
people of my dear, native state a clean
and business-like administration. I
have no ambition beyond that. I prom
ise you a business administration, un
controlled by professional politicians
and run in the interest of the men and
women who pay the taxes.
Mr. McRae dismissal his opjionents
with but a few worsd, omitting to call
any of them by name. He said:
“I am unable to see how I could aid
the cause of good government or com
mon decency by matching methods
with my opponents. I lielieve most
of what they are telling on each other.
I am not foolish enough to suppose
they will not attack me; they have
been doing that already, but if 1 per
mit them to engage me in the only kind
of politics they aer skilled in, I will
tie at a disadvantage.
“That they are of the common breed
of latter day politicians nobody seems
to doubt, for their language and their
methods to date give them away.
“The country has grown used to all
this. 1 am honestly striving to point a
logical way out of life wilderness of
debt and misgovernment and I feel my
life should stand as some evidence of
my sincerity of purpose.”
Iii* declared that the question of road
building is of the highest importance.
THOMAS ('.
that "ill conform to t'i*«K*raI laws on
prohibition.
Col. Mcltae declared that tin* law
authorizing tile governor o issue emer
gency proclamations for tlio payment
of money, a violation of tin* constitu
tion. He said lie had no apologies to
make for his opposition to a new con
stitution. hut favors the adoption of
pending Amendment No. lit. which will
make more workable the initiative ami
referendum.
Iteelaring that the main issue of this
campaign is « sensible program for
simplifying state government uml re
ducing its expenses, he said:
“This will la- much simpler than it
might seem. 1 projtose to stay on the
job. I am not and never will lie a can
didab' for the United States Senate, ns
is the case with some of my opponents.
Nor do 1 have any ambition to go out
on dress purude ltcfore the people of
other states. I mean to know what is
happening every week of my incum
bency, if elected. A governor should
lie what the name implies. He should
keep in vital touch with the operation,
of the charitable Institutions, the penal
institutions, the educational institu-!
tions. The work of ’lie various depart
ments should Is* watched, and political
manipulations prevented by those elect
ed or appointed to these offices.
“The tangible valuation of the
state’s properties aggregates more than
ten millions of dollars, and millions of
dollars are collected each year and ex

of roadway, to cost from $1 lo.OOO.tMKJ
to ,S 1-40,000.000, with no provision for
maintenance. If all these roads were
actually constructed they would cost
one-third as much as the assessed value
of all the lands of the state.
The people have been so shocked and
Incensed at tin' unbusinesslike project
as a whole, and ut many unjust details,I
that the cause of good roads has Is'en
set back, rather than Advanced.
“Contracts have already been let for
4,ooo or more miles of roads, to cost
more than $.r>0,000,000. This alone is a
sum greater than proposed for roads

“But I realize tho folly of relying
solely oil the power of tho veto in oom
bating tht' loeal or special hill evil.
More than one governor in tlie iiast
has fountl that a loeal hill ran lie
passed very tpiiokly over hia veto.
Therefore, the people must U* on the
alert to stop the erimes of the local
hill. 1 lielieve that amendment No. 1.1
now liefore the people, to be voted on
next November, will do more to enrh
the loeal legislative evil than any gov
ernor with his power of veto nui do,
and I hope it may lie passed.”
Mr. McHac declares for “collective
bargaining" rights, both as to labor
and agriculture. Regarding the rights
of agriculture he says:
“The crying med of the future is
increased production in every line of
legitimate industry. Farm life must
he made more attractive. I desire to
raise my voice in licliulf of tlie rights
of the humble tenant farmer. Ilis lot
must lie made easier. Thirty live pol
ecat of the farmers of the South move
each year. The causes of this should
lie removed, and the state can do much
to relieve the situation.”
