DAVIS PLURALITY 10000
However, He Runs About 10000 Be-
hind His Ticket

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, September 6-Suf-
ficient returns from the state election have
been received to indicate the election of
Governor Davis to third term by plu-
rality Of 10000. Several other state officers
were voted for, but all the other democratic
candidates had an open field Davis alone
having opposition.
Governor Davis will run something like
5000 votes behind his ticket two years
ago, when the total vote was 10000 in
round numbers. This year there has been
an increase of 10, 900 votes, and if Governor
Davis plurality is not over 10000, his loss
in the aggregate will be 10000 votes. Myers
the republican candidate, will probably in
crease his vote over two years ago not less
than 10000.
Several counties have given republican
majorities which heretofore have gone dem
ocratic, but in the main the county demo-
cratic tickets have been elected. The pro-
hibition vote will possibly fall short of two
years ago, when Kimball for governor on
that ticket pOlled less than 5000 votes.

Practical Completion Of Collection oi
Naval Secretaries Portraits.

The collection of portraits of Secretaries
of the Navy since the organization of that
department in 1898 has been practically
completed by the addition of an oil por-

VERM0NT'S ELECTION
Four Tickets for State Officers
in the Field.
REPUBLICAN PROMISE
FAIR WEATHER CONTRIBUTES
TOWARD GETTING OUT VOTE.
First to Be Held in an Eastern State
This Year-Oficers
Chosen.

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, Vermont
September 6.-Fair weather, the conditions
considered most necessary to bring out the
large vote desired by all parties. prevailed
throughout Vermont this the day of
the biennial state election. The fact that
the election was the first to be held in an
eastern state this year gave it a national
significance, as the disclosure of the re-
spectlVe democratic and republican
strength, in a way, would be viewed as
prophetic of the situation throughout the
country on national issues.
The election today was to choose state
officers, two representatives, members of
the state senate and house of representa-
tives and various county officers.
There were four tickets for state officers,
the prohibition and socialist parties both
having nominated a full set of candidates.
Charles j. Bell of Walden is the repub-
lcan nominee for governor. and his demo-
cratic opponent is Eli H. Porter of Will
mngton. The prohibition candidate is
Homer ]. Comings of Berkshire and the
socialist nominee is Clarence E. Morse of
Springfield.
The democrats, prohibitiontsts and So
cialists also had nominated candidates for
representatives, but reelection of the pres
ent republican representatives-kittr
Harkins of Brattleboro and David ]. Fos-
ter of Burlington-waS felt to be assured.
The legislature to be elected today will
vote for United States senator at the com
ing session. There is felt to be no ques-
ton that both branches will be republican
and that Senator Redfield Proctor will be
chosen for another term.
Heavy Vote Polled.
The reports received from all over the
state up to noon showed that the ex-
pectations of heavy vote We're likely to be
realized. Information received by the re-
publican state committee indicated that
Mr.. Bell, the republican nominee for gov
ernor, was being cut by the farmers be-
cause of his policy while cattle commits
sioner in ordering the slaughter of many
cattle In Chittenden county on account
of the prevalence of tuberculosis.
Republican Ticket Affected.
In Chttenden, Rutland and Washington
counties the existence of a fusion ticket
for county officers was having some effect
upon the republican ticket, as the so-called
independent republicans who were dissatis-
fled with the republican plank on the local
option law were supporting the fusion
candidates.
Aside from these instances the republi-
cans were voting without any split In their
ranks, in striking contrast to the election
OF two years ago, when there was a d.
vision over local option.
At noon the republican officials were
looking for a final plurality in the state
of more than 25.O0O. The democrats de-
clined to give estimate.

The judges of the Supreme Court
were commissioned on June ., 1900,
these commissions therefore, run out
on June of this year. The organic
act, however, only went into effect
June IA, and future Supreme Court
commissions will probably run from
that date. There will thus be hiatus
of nine days. The ordinary theory in
such matters is that officials hold on
till they are replaced, but the Judges
are said to have decided that this may
be questioned. They will therefore
complete all business now before the
court by June 4, when their last deci-
sions will be handed down. They will
then remain a Supreme bench but they
will do no business, because after June
there might be question of their
jurisdiction. OF course the commits
sions may come sooner than June 4.
