LATER RETURr.s Or JEFFERSON
Arkansas oet1t e,.

Little Rock, Sept. T.--Present pros
poets are that Meyers, Republican
nominee for 4oyernor may duplicate
the record made by the Arkansas Re-
publicans at the election in November,
1900 AT that time nine counties out
CT the seventy five in the state we're
carried by Mckinley, II seems GER
tian, however, that Myers has nos
| carried more than nine counties. ana
on the official vote he may not get
more than four or five. Notwithstand.
ine Mckinley carried nine conntiae
in 1900. Arkansas went Democratic by
% ,342. McKinley'a total vote in the
Estate WAS 44,SO0, and from the figures
AT hand it appears likely that Meyers
vote will be III that neiehbrohod.
Secretary Page of Tie Democratic
state committee made no modification
yesterday of his previous estimate Of
G5 GOO plurality for Davis. Gov. Davis
was serene and confident, expressing
no mis@iyings whatever AS TO rea1-
ing his title clear. He left last night
ON squirrel hunt il the Fourche
| valley.
The Republican state managers are
still making claims Of greater gains
! for Myers than tho subecalnnt re-
turns show.
| Additional returns from fhe elec-
tion SHOW some surprises. Latest
advices are that Bnton county. the
! home Of United States Senator James
/ II. Berry, is SO close that it may
!take the official count to- decide be-
! tween Davis and Myers for governor.
! Two years ago Benton county gave
! Davis a majority Of ,2G9 over Myers.
Gov. Davis has also LOST. heavily in
E, Franklin, Washington. Lafayette, Lit
| tie River, Independence. Scott am
/ Lawrence countless but he has made
gains in Union, White. Jefferson, Yell,
Pope and Nevada counties and in east
ern Arkansas. Conservative estimates
| are that the Democratic plurality will
be, between 10000 and 10000. sThe
total figures viii show that thou and :
| Of voters failed to vote for any can
didate for governor The unorposed
Democratic state nominees poiIed
about S5 per cent Of the vote cast.
For the first five since 1897 the
state senate Will have a Republican
member. George Legate, Republican,
has defeated ex-senator Hubert j.

It now seems certain that the two
proposed constitutional amendments
have been rejected, thus leaving the

cities of the first and second class
without power to issue bonds. Com
