RESULTS IN STATE CON
TESTS.
With the official vote from 72
counties and the complete but
unofficial returns of the remain
ing three counties in, Kirby
leads Clarke this morning by j
184 votes with 135,688 account-;
ed for. But if the vote from
Poinsett county is certified to the :
State Central Committee, as the
chairirtan of Poinsett county j
De upcratic convention says it
will be certified, Clarke has a
lead this morning of 392. The
Gazette’s correspondent at Har- j
risburg gave the official vote as
canvassed by the County Cen-!
tral Committee of Poinsett coun- i
ty as Clarke 1,286 and Kirby i
615. This morning former Sen- j
ator Clyde Going, who acted as :
chairman of the Poinsett county
Democratic convention yester
day, telephoned the Gazette that
the official figures on Poinsett
county were Clarke 1,621, Kirby ,
450. The rrtatter was then tak
en up again with the Gazette’s
correspondent, who stated that
his figures were taken from to- \
tals made by the County Central j
Commitee and certified by the i
r
committee to the convention as
official.
Going was insistent in his
claim that the vote would be cer
tified to the State Central Com
mittee as he gave it, but it'is
given in the Gazette’s table as
sent in by the Gazette’s corres
pondent.
UNOFFICIAL VOTE WILL j
STAND.
Of the counties given as com
plete, but not official, in the Ga
zette’s table this morning, it is
not thought there will be a
j change of 50 votes. It is believed
! the Baxter county figures are of
ficial. It is claimed by the Clarke
! headquarters that Cleveland and
Lincoln will on the official vote
show a few in Clarke’s favor ov
er the unofficial figures carried
in the Gazette’s table this morn
ing.
On the official returns Perry
county switches from Kirby to
Clarke. Until the vote was can
vassed in Perry county yester
day the figures were, with some
townships missing: Clarkq 450;
Kirby, 462. The official figures
are: Clarke 677 and Kirby 642.
BIG CONTEST YET TO COME.
urban thp official figures are in
then will come the contest, as it
seems certain that the loser, on
the face of the returns, will con
test the election, although the
contest talk does come from
the candidates, b comes from
politicians who are partisans of
one or the other of the candi
dates.

COOK AND COFFMAN WIN.
From the official vote of the
counties received yesterday and
last night, the nomination of
Earle W. Hodges for secretary
of state, L. L. Coffman for state
auditor and George B. Cook for
superintendent of public instruc
tion seems to be no longer in
doubt. Out of about 130,000
votes accounted for, the total
is as follows:
Earle W. Hodges 92,635, T.
Henry Downing 36,357.
H. C. McCain 60,356, L. L.
Coffman 69,955.
George B. Cook 68,310, D. T.
Rogers 62,911.
This makes the lead as fol
lows: Earle W. Hodges 56,278,
L. L. Coffman 9,599, George B.
| Cook 5,399.
This total represents the offi
cial vote of 63 counties and the
unofficial vote in the following
counties: Ashley, Bradley, Cle

All efforts to get full details

the telephone wires to Pleasant

From what could be learned,
however, it appears that during
a dance that night at Kinsey s
home, two men, whose names we
could not learn, became involved
in a fight, and in an effort tc
