STILL CRYING

Davis Speakers Take Up Vindi- cation Plea Instead of Dwell ing Upon Merits of Their
 Candidate.

Mammoth Spring, March 15. ' The speaking at the opera house last night by Chancellor G. H. Humphreys of Fayetteville, rep resenting Gov. Davis, and Hon. J. l.. Short of Salem, represent ing Judge Wood, was largely att tended.
 Judge Humphreys in his speech declared his county, Washington, would give 1000 majority for Davis, Benton 800 and Boone and Carroll like majorities. He begged the people to not consider the third term, but to vindicate Gov. Davis by re-electing him. He devoted most of his speech to the antitrust law.
 Senator Short when he was in- troduced received a regular ova- tion from the audiehre, lasting some minutes, during which a majority of the Davis element, including about ten voters, filed out. Toward the close of Sena- tor Short s speech they returned for the rejoinder and frequently interrupted him, as his speech against Davis official acts was not relished by them.
 Senator Short made one of the most forceful speeches ever heard here.
