In Faulkner. Lafayette and other
Populist and Republican stronSholds,
the Democratic county tickets were
elected by safe majoritIes. There was
much scratching In Fulton county, and
the probability Is that the independent
candidate for state senator In that dis
rlct has carried the county against Hon,
Jerry South. the regular Democratic
nominee. The city OF Helena gives the
Democratic ticket a large majority, al
though Remmel. for governor, ran far
ahead Of the Republican ticket. In La
fayette county every Democrat Is elect
ed. The Democratic majority In Frank
lin Is from 700 to 500. The estimated
Democratic majority In Miller county Is
500. although one county officer Is In
doubt. Woodruff county Is considered
safe for the Democratic ticket. Many
Many negroes scratched their ticket and
voted for Jones for governor. johnson

Democratic ticket Jackson county

Ell and ths county votes favorably on IL
cense. In Lonoke the Democratic ticket
wins easily. White county is claimed for
Jones by about 100. Shurpe county goes
Democratic by 100 majority.
