Shall the People Rule in Arkansas Election Law Reform
In a speech accepting the platform, Mr. Myron proclaims the core issue is whether the people shall rule. George Mallory cites Arkansas in 1908 where Republicans polled 42 percent and Roosevelt narrowly missed Parker, arguing the 1891 election law concentrates power with three Democratic officers and suppresses minority representation. He denounces the law as a tool to steal elections, disenfranchise Republicans and others, and calls for repeal to ensure equal rights and honest governance in Arkansas.
