Ark. Gazette, March 15, 1906, Monticello - Hon. Howard Robb of Arkansas City, who carried Desha county in the Democratic primary for state senator, and who has been endorsed by the Democratic County Central Committee of Drew county, has issued an address to the Democrats of Drew county, in which he makes it clear that he is opposed to a new county, with McGehee as the county seat. Mr. Robb says: "Drew county shall not lose a foot of her territory through my instrumentality during my term as senator, and since the constitution provides that each county shall contain at least 600 square miles of territory and 5,000 inhabitants the proposition of the formation of a new county, with McGehee as its county site, is an impossibility and absurd, as the counties of Drew, Desha and Chicot have neither the territory or inhabitants to spare." Mr. Robb says that Hon. John W. Davis, Democratic nominee for representative from Drew county, has also publicly expressed himself as opposed to these measures. (why was any of this a question? Who wanted to divide the county?) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Photos - Share your holiday photos online! http://photos.yahoo.com/
