DAVIS GOES TO SENATE.
Governor’s Majority Will Exceed Ten
Thousand and his Election to
Senate Is Now Assured.
Davis has won by from 10,000
to 15,000 over the state, most
counties having been heard from
and complete, and close estimates
furnished on missing precincts.
The returns coming in Friday
and Saturday from remote coun
ties and country precincts cut
down the vote of Berry in near
ly all the counties reported for
him.
Pope county, Davis’ old home,
gave him a majority of 1434, and
such counties as Craighead,
Woodruff and Crawford, which
" went for Wood two years ago,
gave Davis majorities. Even
such strongholds as Lee county
came very nearlv giving a Davis
majority and such reverses
served to offset the big. gains of
Berry from Northwestern Ar
> I’untiQC
For attorney-general, Pindall
has probably won, but Kirby is
pushing him closely.
Guy Tucker has won out as
agricultural commissioner and on
Saturday wired his friend, R. T.
Simmons of this city to “forgel
Jackson,” as he was on the safe
side without it.
Riddick has defeated Moos*
for associate justice and Cravens
of Fort Smith has been nominat
ed for congress to succeed Little.
INDEPENDENCE COUNTY.
Independence county, with on<
precinct missing gives Bern
1254. Davis 1077; Rogers 1097
Little 980; for congress, Brun
didge 1304, Oldfield 877; or cir
cuit judge Fulkerson 914, Yanc^j
518, Butler 55\ F'^bcvougl
I
191; for prosecuting attorney,
j Casey 900, Jeffery 595, Erwin
243; Gray 301, Hillhouse 121.
' For state senator Hinkle was
beaten by W. W. Edmonson with
a very small margin. S. A.
Moore and Wm. Thompson were
elected representatives, Dene
Coleman being defeated over 300
votes,
Albert Sims won easily for
county clerk. Albert Dunlap 'will
be sheriff. Frank Perrin, treasur
er, Frank Ham, surveyor; Tom
Shell, coroner.
GREENE GOES FOR DAVIS.
Paragould, March 29.—Full:
returns are not yet in. High!
water is delaying the returns
from the remote country town
ships. An unusually heavy vote
was polled. Several candidates
are running neck and neck. The
' official count is necessary to de
! cide the contest for county treas
urer, sheriff and circuit clerk.
Hon. W. W. Bandy appears to
be elected representative over
J. W. Seav. present incumbent.
Macon, for Congress, and Simp
son for prosecutor, swept the
county. Davis carried the coun
ty by less than 200, a decline in
his former majority of over 600*
Little is given 500 majority.
Judge Riddick receives a hand
some vote.
CLAY BY 300.
Piggott, March 29—Davis has
Clay county by 300. The race is
so close between Little and
Rogers that the official count is
thought to be necessary. One
townshipout, but will not change
the result.
MONROE FOR DAVIS.
Br'nkley, March 29— Eleven
■ o> L of 17 townships show a ma
■ jcvity fur Davis of about 150.
i Lor congressman the same
townships give Brundidge 442,
Oldfield 409. Chapline will car
ry the county for circuit judge
by 75 or 80 votes.
RIVER FALLS A FOOT.
Flood Situation Greatly Improved and
Outlook Bright for Steady Decline
of Water.
Reports from Upper White
tell of a considerable fall in the
river, ranging from one to five
feet and Black too has reached
her highest stage and commenced
falling.
At Newport, the gauge shows
a foot fall and as stattd, the out
look is bright for a steady de
cline. The recpr>*' rains were
either not sufficiently heavy or
did not extend into the Ozarks
far enough to affect the rivers
which drain the northern part
of the state.
It will probably be several
days before train service is re
sumed over Iron Mountain bridere.
Work however was commenced
Saturday, seeking to straighten
and get into line the span which
gave way partially. Just how
far the high water will interfere
with the work is a question.
Wanted—Gentleman cr lady
with good reference to travel for
firm of $250,000 capital. Salary
$1,072 per year and expenses;
; salary paid weekly and expenses
advanced. Address, with stamp,
J. A. Alexander, Newport, Ark.

■ weather and high water Miss

WINNERS IN JACKSON.
I _
■ Incomplete Returns Show County Has
Gone for Riddick, Coffman, futrall
and Gulley.
The tabular vote of this issue
contains the result in 17 pre
icincts of Jackson county. No
election was held in the two pre
cincts of Bryan township owing
to the high water. Thus there
are only thiee missing precincts,
Village, Glaize and Richwoods.
The boxes for these precincts
are in but no slips were kept of
the result. How they went ap
proximately has been reported
and the result will not affect any
race.
Village went for Berry and
Rogers strong, Richwoods went
heavily for Davis and Little and
Glaize went by a fair majority
for Berry and Little. Thus
the returns of the three will
make little difference in the rel
ative results.
Tirw-w-tr Till norrv .laplcQATl
county by about 160 votes, Little
will probably carry county by a
very slight margin and Brun
didge by about 65. For attorney |
general Pindall has 552, Kirby
545, Gautney 312. The chances
are about even between Pindall
and Kirby for this county.
For state superintendent of
public instruction, Futrall has
over 300 majority, the totals thus
far being Futrall 859, Doyne 534.
For associate justice, the seven
teen precincts give Riddick 912,
Moose 582 or nearly 2 to 1 for
the former.
For land commissioner, Coff
man defeats Hines by over 400
votes in Jackson.
For commissioner of mines,
manufactures and agriculture,
Ransom Gulley has a total of
513 and his nearest opponent,
Guy Tucker,has 379 to his credit.
LOCKARD AND ARD.
The only county oontests in ‘ (
doubt were decided by the re-, ■
ported vote of the missing pre* j
cincts and ir is now positively!
known that Lockard has won the!
county clerkship by probably 100
majority over Robinson and that
Ard is nominated for representa
tive by probably 50 votes over
Grant.
