LOCKARD AND ARD
Look Like Winners in Race for County
Clerk and Representative—Grant
or Gale Might Win.
With four additional precincts
added to our table, the winners
in the county primary are more
easily picked, and in the two
close races, that of Lockard and
Robinson for county clerk and
Ard and Grant and perhaps Gale
I for representative, the probable
winners seem to be Lockard and
Ard.
.Lockard has a lead of over
100 not including Village and
Richwoods, and his (lurality can
hardly be reduced below 75.
For representative, the 16 pre
cincts out of 22 give Ard 483,
Gale 453, Pierce 80, Grant 440.
Henry Grant is undoubtedly
elected coroner by 200 to 300
plurality.
The ballot boxes from Rich
woods and Grubbs are both in,
but slips were not kept; and the
returns from these points will
i not be known until canvassed
i Tnpsdav.
<
At Stephen’s Residence, owing
to the rain and high water, no
election was held If an election
was held at Horse Shoe in the
lower end of Bryan township,
there were probably 35 votes
cast there.
Notice.
In order to give all persons,
ample time to make provisions
for taking care of their stock we
will not begin the enforcement
of stock ordinance No. 139 until
April 10 1916.
(Signed) W. R. Thompson,
Mayor.
WHITE RIVER FALLING.
- I
Situation Not as Alarming as Reported
by Sensational Correspondent
—White River Bridge
Still Stands Strain.
The crest of the White River
rise passed Newport Thurs
day night, the guage register
being 30.5 feet. This city has
never been in danger as reported
by a sensational correspondent
of the afternoon Little Rock
paper and the people are ex
pressing considerable indignation i
over such alarming reports be
ing sent out.
The threatened span of White
river bridge has held out against
the flood, contrary to the en
engineers’ expectations, who cut
loose the swaying span from its
connecting parts in order that
the remainder might be saved.
The bridge is now thought to
be safe though repair work can
not be undertaken for probably
ten days, eve i should the river
I continue a stea iy fall. Mail
facilities and poor passenger
service while trains are being
detoured via Wynne, are working
a hardship upon this section.
I
Rising at Pocahontas.
j Pocahontas, March 28.— Black
' river at this point is rising at the
, rate of one and a half inches an
j hour, and will continue to rise
j for at least four days. It is now
i within a few inches of the high
1 water mark. The river at Pop
> lar Bluff has not yet begun to
fall. Current rij^er is still rising
at Biggers, and river men here
think the river will go 24 inches
higher than at present. All
stock in the bottoms is being re
moved to hn h ground, prepar
atory for a big overfluw. Many
farms are covered with water,
and will not be in condition to
plant for several weeks, even if
there is no more rain. ^
' ■ m
SENATORIAL RACE (LOSE.
_
Governor’s Chances Best But Not so
Good as Early Reforms indicated.
The senate iai race is develop
ing into what seems to be a close
finish, with the chances still,
favoring Davis by a few thou
sand. Many of his former
strongholds have reversed them
selves and are now placed in the
Berry column.
The counties last to hear from
have heretofore given him his
largest majorities, and the com-1
plete returns from counties heard
from will probably be in his
favor, as they are country pre
cincts.
Governor Davis’ material loss
es over the vote he received at
he 1904 primary are in such
counties as Greene, Howard,
Nevada, Benton, Washington
md Jackson.
In a group of 33 counties in
which Governor Davis had two
years ago 7,200 majority over;
Hon Carroll D. Wood, the same j
counties give Senator Berry a j
ead of 814 over Governor Davis,
rbese returns are in part official
md in part based upon incom- j
plete but reliable returns and
estimates. If the same drift is
maintained in the returns from
:he remaining 42 counties it can
readily be figured out that the
result wili be decided by a smal
majority.
OTHER STATE CONTESTS.
Little for governor may get 60
5Ut of 75 counties when ail the
returns are in. He will probab-1
ly have fully 400 out of 512 dele
gates in the state convention.
The following candidate^ are
leading:
Attorney General —X. 0. Pin*
dall.
Agricultural Commissioner
Guy B. Tucker. ,
Land Commissioner—L. L.
Coffman.
State Superintendent—J. J. ,i
Doyne.
The race for associate justice'
continues close between Moose:
and Riddick.
J. W. Crockett wins for rail
road commissioner in the north-,
eastern district. The race in
♦lie northwestern district is un
settled.
Brundidge leads over Oldfield
for congress in Second district.
John H. Page stated last night
that from private reports sent
from the different counties it is
ascertained that Governor Dav;s :
has carried over 50 counties, and |
would have a majority of from !
11,000 to 18,000. He declared
that there is no -ground for the
report that Senator Berry has a
chance to win.
WHITE STILL FOR DAVIS.
Governor Davis has carried
White county by probably 800,
Brundidge by close vote and
Little by 500. John Roberts
probably wins senatorial neiuuia
tion.
WILLIAMS DELIVERS GARLAND.
As promised, Sheriff Bob Wil
liams of Hot Springs has deliv
ered Garland county to Berry by
500. The result in the city of
Hot Springs was unexpectedly
close and the promise of the
Governor to put the lid on, has;
probably reduced the Berry j.
vote.
LAWRENCE FOR DAVIS.
Lawrence county has gone for
Davis but by greatly reduced
majority. Fulkerson, Jeffery
and propably Brundidge carry
county.
FULTON FOR BRUNDIDGE.
Fulton county has gone for
Erunbi.’^e b>r probably $00 : id
