I CONVENTION.
County Chairman Stuckey
Presides Over Davis Meet
ings While Eugene Shaver
Serves for Wood Side of
the Proceedings.
There was a split in the
county convention held this
afternoon and separate and
contesting delegations will
be sent to the Hot Springs
state convention from Jack
son county. The delegates
had not been named at press
time, and only a Philadel
phia lawyer can tell what is
to come next.
The county convention to select
delegates to the state convention,
which is to be held on June 14 at
Hot Springs, was held at the
court house Saturday afternoon.!
The meeting was called to or
der about 1 o’clock by County
Chairman Stuckey, with Secre
tary Mayhan in charge of the
records.
The convention from the start
was a rather disjointed affair
and nobody seemed to know just
exactly where to begin and how
to proceed after the eommence
Inent of the meeting.
There whs a disagreement over
:he rightful delegates and the
lumber from Union and Breck
nridge townships. All townships
vere represented by accredited
lelegates except Barren and
Bichwoods, Love Grant holding
i proxy from the former, while
Bob Simmons held similar papers
rom the latter township.
When the question of deciding
vho the rightful delegates were
:ame up a committee on creden
ials was appointed, George W.
{elverton of Bird being named
is chairman, amid much laugh
er. The other members were
S. B. Nichols of Glass and John
Bale of Grubbs.
I THE MARION HOTEL.
Mrs. Pauline Goddard is noth
ng if not enterprising, and her
:onstant aim is to improve her
urroundings and add pleasure
o her guests’ sojourn.
With her usual good sense and
udgment she is now painting
md papering the entire inside of
ler hospitable domicile of the
veary traveler, and will make it
is bright as her own sunny smile.
Workmen are already engaged
ipon the job and they have in
trusions to make everything
I’ and pretty.
he lodge room on the third
r will be converted into sleep
rooms aud thus give her am
accommodations for her pres
large patronage.
Irs. Goddard is a lady of rare
d taste and judgment, and we
r expect the Marion to be a
feet palace when she gets her
sent plans completed. —For

DAVIS’ MAJORITY
IS ABOUT 17,500.
Complete Returns Show Davis
Has Won Over Judge Wood
By a Large Vote.
_,_
Little Rock, April 2.—Com
plete retures from thirty-six
counties give the popular vote
on governor in last Saturday’s
primary for Davis 37,632, Wood
28,946.
The same ratio if continued
throughout the state will give
Gov. Davis a majority of about
17,500, and would make the tatal
vote of the state in the primary
about 135.000.
Marion county was heard from
yesterday for the first time.
Davis carried the county by 300.
This gives him 57 counties with
320 delegates.
Diligent efforts are.being made
to round up the vote on associate
j nstice so as to settle the remark
ably close race between McCul
loch and Moose. The McCulloch
forces claim 220 delegates, or
within two of the number re
quired to nominate. The Moose
forces claim 214 delegates, with
a few more counties to hear
from.
Ordinarily it is possible to as
certain the name of the winner
within forty-eight hours after a
state primary is held, but in the
present case the conditions are
unusual. Not only are the can
didates close together in the
number of counties each has car
ried, but in a number of counties
the vote is so close that the of
ficial canvass is required to de
termine the result.
FRAUD IN LINCOLN.
The vote in Lincoln county will'
undoubtedly be contested in the
state convention, for all kinds of
dirty politics have been discov
ered in that county. Following
the riot at two of the polling
boxes in the county on Saturday,
came an attack on Chancelor J.
M. Elliott of this city Sunday..;
Judge Elliot went over to Star;
City on Saturday afternoon in j
.1 • ft X 1 TXT 1 1 !
uie interest ut juuge vvuuu, aim
as report has it, was notified by
the Davis men to leave town.
Gov. Davis was advised that
Judge Elliott was there and im
mediately telephoned some of his
henchmen to run the judge out |
any way they could as his pres
ence in the county yvas exceed
ingly dangerous to the Davis in
terests. The Davis men ad
dressed a communication to the
judge and ordered him to leave.
Judge Elliott resented the insult
and informed the mob where he
could be found. He was not mo
lested, as the crowds were only
bluffing.
It is apparent that frauds have
been committed in other coun
ties, and that a contest will be
made before the convention to
eliminate all frauds, and bring
the result down to a clean one,
which is the proper thing to do,
if the future welfare of the
Democratic pariy is to be con
sidered. _
