People here did not run over each
other on the 23rd to reach the polls.
Vote extremely light. Many forgot
about the election, but many more
felt indifferent, feeling confident what
the result would be. Considering all
circumstances, Mr. Brundidge s
friends in the primary, while they
would have voted for the nominee
had they voted at all, were not anx
ious to make the Hays majority
anything like unanimous. Being one
of those “friends” and speaking-for
myself and others, we feel that we
have a safe, efficient governor, but
are not delighted with the modus op
erandi of his nomination.
Mr. Farmer, don’t forget to prepare
a small piece of ground now to put

strongest and most influential
senators in congress. Arkansas
