RAN BEHIND HIS TICKET.
Davis Reelected Governor Of Arkan-
sas--A Light Vote.

Little Rock, Ark. ept. 2.-As far as
heard from up to a late hour last night
the election in this State passed OFF
quietly and a light vote was polled.
The greatest interest was centered on
the factional fight between the two
Republican organizations known as the
regulars" and insurgents" Hon.
Harry II. Myers, of Br.nkley. was the
yubernatorial candidate of the former
and Hon. Charles ID. Greayes, of Hot
Springs led the insurgent forces. The
total vote polled in Little Rock was
1854, or less I, an one-thrd of the
city's voting strength. The same re-
port came from other cities and towns
in the State. except where spirited con-
tests for local offiC ers occurred.
JEFF Davis. the Democratic candidate
for Governor. carried the city and
county. but ran behind the balance of
the ticket. The exact figures will not
be known before morning, as the
count, on account OF the length of the
ticket, Is progressing slowly.
The count in four out of the eight
wards in the city of Little Rock show
that Myers. regular Republican, is far
in the lead of Greaves. insurgant.
Greaves is ahead in Ga land and Mil
Ter counties.
Reports show that Davis has failed
TO poll as many votes as the other
Democratic candidates in any county.
but owing to the Republican split he
Is far in the lead of Myers.
Reports from all sections of the
State indicate that the constitutional
amendment. proposing to abolish the
per diem pay in the legislative system
and place the members on a salary,
has been ado pttd by la &c majority.
Kimball, the Prohibition candidate
for Governor, received decidedly
heavier vote.

quarters are in Boston, and most OF

Roosevelt, calling attention to the al
legged outrages in Philippines, have

himself, through a reliable source, a
definite promise W, ich amounts to an
offer Of independence to the Philip
pines as soon as the inhabitants of the
islands have shown their ability to
manage the evil government, which
Taft Is to inaugurate. This means
that the anti-imperialists the country
over will drop the matter of the pc
tition and will let up on other public
criticism of the Philippine policy.
The President, while he declines to
give a public pledge that will bind the
nation to hard and fast policy, thus
early in the experiment. wants the
Filipinos to have Their independence il
they insst upon 1t after the Islands
have demonstrated their ability to run
their own affairs under a limited self
government. The anti-imperialists do
not stop criticism because they are
inclined to back down. but because
they have faith in the President, and
will not block his plans for eventual
Philippines independence.
