The Run to Benton.

The crowd of about fifty men left
here at 10 O'Clock over the Pine Bluff
and Western road in a special train
OF two box cars and an engine hired
by private parties for the purpose.
One a. the box cars carried hand cars
Ca which the twelve mile run was
made from a washout on the line in
to Benton.
There was no semblance of disorder
or riot in the crowd of determined
r,en when they met at the station
west of the city for the purpose of
lynching the murderer of one of the
most popular men in Pine Bluff The
fact that Hooker had been allowed to
live for three or four weeks and thus
set bad example to his fellows by
lis utterances did not for a moment
deter the men from their purpose
which was made all the stronger by
the attendant circumstances. 1t had
te en- the repeated boast of other ne
groes that white mans life was
cheap.

When the communication was

said: "There is nothing to the charge
whatever. I saw the ballot boxes pre-.
pared and l know that the corrected
ballots were placed in each of them.
II any of the first ballots were left in
the boxes it was as oversight which
could be and was easily remedied.
understand that few were found,
but I am positive that no Socialist in
Jefferson county was deprived of the
right to vote because of these ballots
which were printed wrong. Ten thou
sand ballots correctly printed were
sent out with the boxes and in each
ward and township in the county there
were plenty of correct ballots. All
the Socialist voter had to do was to
call for a ballot and show to the
judges that some mistake had been
Rmade. 1t seems to me that the So

Most, if not all. of the first ballots

the sending out of a few which hap

was an unintentional oversight"
Mr.. Joe P. Alexander, chairman Of
the election commissioners for this
county says:
$50 far as know none Of the incor.
rect ballots We're sent out in the boxes
and if any parties We're given tickets
that did not contain the complete list
of electors, it was not the fault of the

destroyed so far as possible. No box

MAKING BIG BLUFF
SOCIALISTS THREATEN PROSE
cUTIoN JEFFERSON COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS
Say Some Of Ballots Omitting Their
Candidates Given Out at the
Polling Places.
WHAT OFFICERS SAY ABOUT 1T

Although the Socialists do not carry
much weight in politics when Demo
Gratis are on the ticket and their total
vote polled in Jefferson county for
Debs cannot amount to over 125, the
Party leaders have caused the election
commissioners more trouble than the
seems that when the first election bal
lots were printed, the name of f. w.
elector at large. was left off the ticket,
al also were the names Of five Popu-
list electors. This fact was discovered
some days before the ballot boxes
were sent out to several townships
by some of the Socialist leaders. and
New ballots were printed with the
name of the Socialist elector properly
placed. This was done after the first
ballots had already been printed and
tie boxes prepared. 1t is claimed by
some of the Socialists in this city
that some of the first ballots were
given out at the polls and f. w. Per
rim. the Socialist secretary, gives out
the following:
con the 4th of the month the elec-
tion COMMISSIONS of Jefferson county
had sent out the ballots to the va
rious precincts properly printed;
they left the elector for the Socialist
casdidate off the ballot The error
was discovered by the Socialists Of
Pine Bluff, and complaint was prompt
ly made to the election commission
ers of that county, who promised to
have more ballots printed, but not
withstanding this fact, some of the
improperly printed ballots were hand
ed to voters in the city of Pine Bluff.
This is an inexcusable violation CT the
law and the Socialists will seek re-
dress before the proper tribunal.
