Straws Show Clarke Winner.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Feb. 16.—No pri
mary election would be complete
without its straw ballot. Straw
ballots are now being taken in
various sections of the state,
and if any gathering has voted
in favor of the opposition to
Senator Clarke, even directly
following one of its speeches, it
has not yet been reported.
During the annual convention
of the Arkansas Horticultural
Society, which was held in Fort
Smith last week, a group of Ar
kansas* leading horticulturalists
proposed a ballot on the Senato
rial contest. Result, 16 for
Clarke, 1 for Kirby. Good old
Democratic figures, yet the ra
tio between the political strength
of the two candidates is about,
correctly told in tnese ngures.
In Lake Village, as far across j
the state from Fort Smith as it j
is possible to get, another straw I
ballot was taken on the same
day. Result this time—Clarke
33, Kirby 0. The men who par
ticipated in this ballot came
from all over South Arkansas,
and after voting unanimously
they pledged themselves to get
out and work in the interests of
Senator Clarke in order to
make that section of the state
practically as unanimous on
election day.
A straw ballot was taken dur
ing the meeting of the San
Francisco Exposition boosters
in Little Rock last week and
Clarke received 26 out of 30
votes. 1
Straw ballots count for little,
but they are pretty good indica
tions of the way in which the
wind is blowing, and from all
reports these are not far from
the way the count will show up
on March 25.
