^B~roberts elected.
Hpesults of White County Primary
2 Held Saturday.
jpearey, Feb. 14.—The Demo
\chatic voters of White county
|||fceld a primary election Saturday
llpov the nomination of a county
| ticket. The election passed off
quietly and only a fair vote was
Ppolled. A majority of the pre
lincts, including the boxes at
Bradford, Bald Knob, Griffith
.. .^fiile and Judsonia, have been
r heard from.
For representative, two to be
nominated, John V. Roberts leads
the next man, H. A. Smith, by
about one hundred votes. A. J.
t Bell and R. J. Crisp follow in the
I order named. It is not probable
: that the remaining townships to
be heard from will change the
present status, and it is likely
that Roberts and Smith are the
nominees.
For county judge, C. S. George
leads his opponents by a fair
sized margin. For treasurer,
Sandford Rogers has a big lead,
and probably gets the nomination.
Marion Davis is believed to
have won for assessor and Sol
Moss for surveyor.
For sheriff, circuit clerk and
county clerk there was no oppo
sition to the present incumbents.
White county will vote on
March 26 on state officers. No
state issues were drawn in the
primary today.

governor, spoke in the court
house in this city this afternoon
to an udience of over one thou
sand people from all parts of the
county.
The speaking commenced at 1
o’clock and was opened by Gov.
Davis, who took up more than
two hours in about the same
speech he has been making all
over the state, requesting the
“old guard” to stand together,
I and pleading with the people to
give him vindication. Governor
Davis, when he finished his
speech, retired and was followed
by a small crowd of his friends.
A large part of the crowd was
composed of farmers and labor
ers, and they remained to hear
Judge Wood. The latter re
viewed the official record of the
governor, and was frequently
cheered. He held the attention
of the crowd to the end, and in
the course of his speech outlined
the policy he would pursue as
governor.

COIN HARVEY’S ROAD
Causing a Merry Little Railroad
War in Arkansas.
Rogers, Feb. 14. — A merry lit
tle railroad war is now on in
Washington and Benton counties.
Two short line roads to connect
with the Frisco and the Kansas
City Southern are being project
ed. On the Frisco the starting
points are Springdale and Rog
ers, wThile Siloam Springs is the
objective point for both roads on
the Kansas City Southern.
“Coin” Harvey is the father of
the line to be built from Spring
dale, and it will be an extension
of the line that at present cen
nects Monte Ne with Lowell. The
road from Rogers is backed by
the Rogers board of trade and
they have their charter already
on file.
As Rogers and Springdale are
only ten miles apart it is scarcely
probable that both will be built,
and the first to commence work
will be the winner. Rogers al
ready connects with the Kansas
yi • i r>t i i i I. i m
v<uy ouuuHjrii au vaavene, wmie
twenty miies south there is a
line from Fayetteville to West
ville on tne same road. Surveys
have been made for both roads
and committees are out soliciting
the required bonus from inter
mediate points.
SQUIRREL HEAD
WINS NOMINATION.
Defeats Former Represenative
Who Had Endorsement of
Governor Davis.
Clarksville, Feb. 13.—A heavy
vote was polled in the Johnson
county Democratic primary for
district and county officers today.
The interest centered primarily
in the race for representative.
There were two candidates, A.
M. Ward, editor of the Johnson
county Herald, and Hon. B. F.
Wofford, who represented the
county in the last house. In the
speeches made by him in this
county, Gov. Davis took occasion
to oppose Mr. Ward, and on this
account the race for legislative
honors assumed additional inter
est.
The returns tonight, while not
complete, are sufficient to indi
cate the nomination of Ward by
a majority of between 300 and
400 over Wofford. In this (Spa
dra) township, 450 votes were
polled and the count is necessa
rily slpw. At this hour, of 111
votes counted, 95 are for Ward
and 18 for Wofford. Partial re
turns from Howell township give
37 for Ward and 19 for Wofford.
The complete vote of Red Lick
township gives 63 for Ward and
3 for Wofford. If the same ra
tio obtains in the other precincts,
it. is clear that Ward will have
at least 350 majority.
BALD KNOBTO PARIS.
Indications Are That the Iron
Mountain Will Soon Build a
New Line.
Bald Knob, Feb. 14.—The in
dications are that the Iron Moun
tain will start to work some time
soon on the proposed road from
here to Heber, Cleburne county,
and go on to Russellville and to
Paris, Logan county.
A prominent railroad official
was here a few days ago and
made an overland trip to Heber.
The building of the road has been
talked of a long time. It would
be worth a great deal to Bald
Knob and White county. The
road would pass through some of
the finest farming and timber
lands in the state.
