WANTS TO DICTATE.
Jeffie Proposes to Give Reasons
Why a Certain Candidate
Should Not be Chosen.
Little Rock, Nov. 2.—Gov. Da
vis has shown his hand in his ef
forts to control the organization
of the next legislature by dictat
ing who shall be elected to the
clerical positions. It has not yet
developed whether his dictation
extends to the presiding officers,
although it is well known that he
will have his candidates for both
speaker and president. He has
written to the members of the
senate, requesting that they call
upon him in his office previous to
the organization of that body, as
he desires to present to them
some reasohs why they should not
vote for a “certain candidate for
secretary of the senate.” Who
the candidate is that has incur
red the gubernatorial disfavor is
not made known. The candidates
for the position are:
J. Fletcher Hurley, Little Rock.
Allen Winham, Texarkana.
John G. Holland, Searcy.
A. S. Hays, Russellville.

Pine Bluff, November 2.—
Capt. R. R. Rice, of Varner, is
in the city today looking after
business interests. Regarding
his appointment as circuit and
county clerk of Lincoln county,
Capt. Rice refuses to talk further
than to say that he will bring a
suit and carry it to the supreme
court for the purpose of testing
the amendment which allows the
governor to fill vacancies in
county offices by appointment,
and which Attorney General
Murphy says failed to pass.
Capt. Rice will file suit against
H. D. Palmer, who also claims
the office, for the purpose of hav
ing the case decided. The result
of the suit will be watched with
much interest by the people over
the state.

The voting still goes merrily
on in the baby contest, and to
day’s totals show a new nominee,
Master Theodore Phillips leading
the list.
Friends of other two little
folks “under two” are collecting
ballots and will probably enter
the names of their favorites to
morrow*. Many people are hold
ing their ballots and coupons,
waiting to see the whole field
before turning in their votes.
Here is the proposition and the
rules governing the contest:
There is a handsome $25.00
solid gold locket with diamond
setting and solid gold chain, on
display at the Palace Jewelry
store, to be given away Decem
ber 24th, 1904, to the baby boy
or girl under two years of age,
who wins the highest number of
votes as the prettiest and sweet
est baby. Now the baby that is
not pretty is surely sweet, and
if the wee tot be a little cross at
times, beauty must offset this
badness. Fond parents at least
are expected to think their ba
bies are both sweet and beauti
ful, and so they do. But to set
tle once for all the claims of the
under two, and put at rest this
rivalry of mothers and fathers,
the Independent has inaugurated
a contest that is to be determined
by that cherished right, popular
ballot, and in accordance with
the following rules:
BABY PRIZE CONTEST RULES.
First—No baby that has reach
ed the age of two years Nov. 1,
1904, is eligible to this contest,
nor shall any employe or party
connected with this paper be eli
gible to vote.
Second—Every issue of the
Daily and Weekly Independent
from November 1 to December
24, will contain a ballot entitling
the holder to one; vote in this
contest. For every dollar’s worth
of job, work, advertising and
subscription paid for between
these dates a coupon good for ten
votes will be issued, but no cou
pons will be issued for sums less
than $1.00. Coupons will not be
sold, and will only be issued for
job, ad and subscrpition busi
ness, but extra copies of the In
dependent at 2 cents per copy,
each containing one ballot, will
be sold at this office.
Third—All votes must be sent
to this office and will be de
posited in a lockbox, to be opened
at 8 o’clock each publication day
and counted. The daily issue of
that afternoon will contain the
total of the several candidates
and the public wtfll thus be kept
informed of the voting each day.
Fourth—A committee of three
good business men will be select
ed to canvass the ballots the
morning of Dec. 24 and announce
the winner. All ballots must be
deposited at this office by 11 a.
m., Dec. 24, 1904.
Read the rules carefully.
