ARKANSAS GOES DEMOCRATIC
JONES, FOR GOVERNOR, WINS BY
10000 TO 10000.
Vote in Some of the Counties Is Very
Close, While q Few Are Conceded
to the Republicans.

Little Rock, Ark, September 5.-Arkan-
saS5 today elected a fun corps Of state OIL
GERS 100 members Of the lower house OF the
legislature, sixteen state senators, local
officers In each Of the seVcnty-hye counties
and voted on the adoption of two important
constitutional amendments as we'll AS the
question of the liquor license in the differ
ent counties.
The democratic state ticket headed by
Dan W Jones' is undoubtedly elected, the
only question Of doubt being the size of the
democratic plurality.
The vote on the two constitutional amend
ments is in doubt. one Of these provides
for the creation by the Legislature Of a
railroad commission ana the other for the
IevynG of q tax of three mills for road
purposes.
In Little Rock there was no contest OF
much Importance and election day at the
capital city was extremely quiet.
AS usual, the election returns are coming
In very slowly, but few ngures being at
hand at midnight. The republicans have
carried Newton and Searcy counties and
the popuIists have probably carried Clarke
Cleveland, White and Nevada. few
other counties are in doubt, but the demo-
Gratis have nearly all Of them.
In Crawford county the vote between the
democrats and the republicans is very
c.ose and it will be at least forty-elght
hours before the result is known. Both
sides claim the county and 1t may take the
official count TO settle II.
No figures have been received from JEFF
ferson county. The republicans there gen
orally supported Bell. the independent
democratic candidate for sheriff, and the
race is considered very close. In Garland
county the contest between the regular and
the independent democratic tickets IS so
close that the official count will be neces-
sary to decide it. Both sides are claiming
the victory.
Not enough returns are in to form tho
basis Of an estimate of the general result,
but the Indications are that Jones Will have
a majority over the combined opposition of
