Memphis, May 10.— Senator 0.
N. Killough, the retiring presi
dent of the St. Francis levee
board, smashed the slate made
by Gov. Jeff Davis in the elec
tion of officers of the board for
the ensuing term. Gov. Davis
had, by exercising his appoint
ing power, placed fifteen pro
Davis men on the board of twen
ty-four members, and had held a
caucus of his men and arranged
a slate.
The only opposition offered by
the anti-Davis men was for the
office of secretary, to which Rich
ard Barton sought re-election.
Mr. Barton is personally very ob
noxious to Gov. Davis, because
of his open and uncompromising
championship of Senator Berry
in the coming senatorial race.
When the position of secretary
was about to be balloted on Mr.
Killough claimed the floor and
made a rousing speech on behalf
of the anti-Davis candidate, car
rying with him twelve of the
twenty-four members. Another
member left the room. The vote
gave Mr. Barton twelve and Mr.
Dye eleven.
The result completely demor
alized the governor, and he left
town tonight. When the vote
was announced a score of men
ran down the hall to Davis’ room
and cheered for Berry, Gov.
Davis had previously announced
at the board meeting his candi
dacy for United States senator
against Berry.
