TWO STATE TICKETS.
Continued from Page ~

Fowler has already ben indorsed for
that position by the state committee.
He is respected by both factions and
is highly esteemed by the president
Arkansas Democrats are viewing
the Republican differences with no lit
tie amusement. At best, the Republi
can vote in Arkansas never exceeds
50 .eOO to 40, 900 at the biennial state
elections while the Democratic vote
usually aggregates from 10000 to no.
600, even without the stimulus OF form
idable opposition.
The Arkansas Republicans have no
hope of even interesting the Democrats,
as to the general results at the polls.
But the two factions are engaged in
desperate fight to a finish, which is to
decide who shall control the patronage
in this state.
