LITTLE Rock, Ark, May 20.--The Gov
enon are at rest, that is, they have
finished their State canvass speaking
yesterday at Nashville, Howard county,
and last night at Washington, Hampstead
county. The plum will have been well
earned by the successful Ospirant for It's
possession, because five Of Arkansas best
Democrats have put In some Of tho best
efforts OF their life during the past thirty
days--efIorts TO convince the people that
they were the right men for the position.
AS has heretofore been stated, Gov.
Hughes is an applicant for third term.
His competitors say the law making a
Governors term Of service end with the
fourth year OF his gubematorial experience
is memorable and must not be changed,
while Gov. Hughes asserts this TO be a
little bit Of sentimentality and for defense
points 10 his native Tennessee

term. The indications 30 far put Hughes
ahead. while both he and Fletcher will

while In northern Mississippi and eastern
Arkansas only about one.half the usual
rainfall il reported.
General Remarks Reports indicate that
throughout the southern States the weather
has been generally favorable for the
growing crops, although more rain
is needed; the cool nights have retarded
the growth of young cotton, which is,
however, reported in good condition. In
the grain regions OF the northwest and
Ohio valley the cold weather during the
week has prevented any marked improve
ment in the crop condition, notwithstand-
ing the abundance Of rain in those sec
tons, Damaging frosts occurred from
Michigan southward TO Northern Ala
bama.
Reports from Minnesota state that the
weather conditions have been generally
favorable for crops, though too cold for
rapid growth.
Reports from Kansas, Nebraska and
Missouri indicate that the weather during
the week has been favorable for small
grain but unfavomblc for corn, vegetables
and fruit.
