FARMER BEN'S COLUMN.

So Bob LaFollette wins out in the
Wisconsin fight and the supreme court
decides that his ticket is the regular
one must go on the official ballot in the
regular republican column. Now let
the boltin' stalwarts crawl in and shut
up. LaFollette had clear workin'
majority in the state convention but
the corporation liars couldn't let him
hav his fair victory but must get up a
contest and now they're let down by
the supreme court. LaFollette is my
kind. He's little giant that puts up
a great, big tite. He hasendeavored to
make the trusts and railroads bear
their just proportion of taxation and is
the friend of the common people. He
is fitin' the big machine over in Wis
consin that thinks it owns the earth
and has been accustomed to rum over
everybody at random and crush 'em.
Bob is a governor of the people, for
the people, and by the people and I
hope that now the ranks will close up
and that big victory will be scored
for him and Roosevelt. It's high time
that the railroads and corporations had
a fetchup in their bulldozin' career in
state and national politix, and Bob
LaFollette is just the man that can do
the job up in first rate shape.

we could get relief on the lumber

so far as general lettin' down SO that

This, approximately, is the re-
 suit of Tuesdays election in Ari-
 zona. based on incomplete returns and estimates for the districts not
 reported. Apache county has not
 yet reported, but it is safe to say
 that Fowler's plurality in that county will be more than 125.
 rather than less In the remainder of the counties the returns are more
 or less complete. It is apparent at a glance that Smith is still invinci-
 ble in southeastern Arizona. The diminished vote for him in Graham is easily accounted for. It is found In Gila county, where many Gra- ham county voters are employed, either on the railroad or in connec- ton with the government works in the Tonto basin. The vote in Gila has been greatly augmented by cause of the activity at the reservoir site. In Cochise county, while the result is not a great deal short of the ante election claims made for Smith, there are some surprising returns. Bisbee and Douglass give greatly increased democratic vote. Tombstone, hitherto almost solidly democratic, was almost an even break. Fowler also made great gains at Benson and at seyeral smaller precincts over the republi- can vote of two years ago. Smiths greatest strength was with the mi gratory population of Bisbee and Douglas and with the Mormops of Graham county. One of his former banner counties, Mohave, which never before give him less than 300 majority. has fallen off two thirds. l

"SORE HEAD DEMOCRATS"

At the democratic rally at Flag staff last Monday night, T. A. Flynn, in the closing remarks of his address for the "beneft of the tick et," stated in his talk on behalf of the democratic candidate for the assembly that while "Mr. Neal is conducting a fearless, independent raper, he has criticised certain ac- tions of the members of the board of supervisors as we'll as myself, and, 1 believe, had he known us better, and our motives for such ac- tion, he would have refrained from such criticism" He also stated that he was not a member of the ' sore head" democratic brigade. Does the above knock look like it? We refrained. from answering him at the time because an answer would have meant scene, but state the case now and desire to say that we were fully aware of their "mo- tives for such action" and that we have no regrets. The public re- membered what the NEWS said about certain officials and turned them down. It is without regret also that we inform the clerk of the board of supervisors that his days in that capacity are numbered.

GENERAL RESULTS

New York, Nov. 1O.-With the election returns still incomplete the plurality of President Roose- welt in the nation, according to all indications tonight, will exceed l.. 5OO,OOO, the greatest plurality ever given an American candidate. The nearest approach to this vote was in 1896, when McKinly received a plurality of S5O,O0O. and in 1872 when Grant received 726,901 plu- rality.
 Tonight the interest centers in Missouri and Maryland. Late re- turns indicate that the former state is in the republican column so far as the presidential electors are con- cerned, but that Joseph w. Folk, the democratic candidate, has been elected governor. In Maryland the presidential vote will probably be cast for Roosevelt.
 The 'solid south" was broken by the defection of Missouri. this sec tion of the country usually having thirteen states in the democratic column. The figures tonight show but twelve stutes, with 133 votes, for Parker. Roosevelt carried all the northern states, swept them, in fact, and tonight he has 343 cleo toral votes.
 The banner state is Pennsylvania. Roosevelt's plurality will reach 4S5,- GOO. Next came Illinois, where Roosevelt boiled 225, ,00O more votes than did Parker Ohio gave Roose- welt 100000 and New York 174,OOO.
 Judge Parker carried Greater New York by nearly fl ,OO0 votes. Roose. welt ran ahead of his ticket in many localities, notably in Massachu- setts, where he secured plurality of S6,OOO votes, while the repub. lican candidate was defeated by 35 ,OOO.
 New York, Nov. 11.-Returns show steadily increasing pluralities and 1t now seems probable that Roosevelt's plurality in the popu- lar vote will be in round numbers 100000.

Everybody's Magazine for July.

the most sensational feature any
American magazine has captured in
years is Thomas W. LawsOn's "Frenzied
Finance, the Story of Amalgamated
Copper which begins in the July issue
of EverrbOdr's Magazine. Mr.. Lawson
was one of the organizers of that gigan-
tic corporation, and he knows exactly
what happened to the millions that were
lost through its manipulation. His first
article is an announcement of distinctly
dramatic interest and promises revela-
lions of the highest Importance to every
one in the country. This magazine has
another feature of signal interest in the
new Hall Caine serial The Prodigal
Son which also begins in the July
issue. In this story Hall Caine returns
to the style of The Manxman'' and
The Deemster," in which his real sue
cesses were scored; and. to Judge from
the opening chapters. The Prodigal
Son promises to be as absorbing inter
esting as its great predecessors.
Other contributions to this issue are
III keeping with these. There is a Won
derfully clever summing up of the chap
ter of Judge Parker by E. NJ kingsbury;
and +. q. Riggs, Of the New York Sun,
the dean of all political editors, writes of
supreme moments at the National Con-
ventions he has attended in the course of
his twenty-five years of journalistic ac-
tivity.
There are also seven exceedingly good
short stories, including a capital naval
story by Morgan Robertson. making
altogether the best number of Every
bOdr's that has yet been put forth.

The LITTLE CORPORAL" AND HIS SOLDIERS
copyright. 1904, by G. L. Kilmerl

YAPOLEON'S personal relations
~ with his soldiers were a pow
erful and perhaps a decisive
- factor in his career. Although
dictatoral and even tyrannical IN the
extreme, the great war lord kept IN
close touch with "the man with the
musket." Says Caulaincourt in his SOU
yenirs Of the field, None OF the olo
mustaches' (sOldiers of the Guard)
would have dared to speak to the NUM-
blest sublieutenant with the freedom
that he showed to the redoubted head
Of the army" This peculiar phase OF
camp life is emphasized by Meneyal IN
his memoirs as follows:
I'm the camp all etiquette was ban
ished in the entirely military relations
between The sovereign and his com
rades in arms. The private was au-
thoriZed to leave the ranks on present
ing arms and to lay any request he
might have to make before the emperor
either verbally or in writing.
The Duchesse HAbrantes treats the
subject in greater detail by recalling
a scene OH the field at AusterlitZ, as
described by her husband, General
Junot:
"The night before the battle the EN-
peror directed Junot, Duroc and Ber-
thier to put on their cloaks and follow
him, as he was going round to see that
all was arranged as he wished. The
bivOuac fires were surrounded by SOL
diers, among whom there were many
of the brave Guards who were after
ward nicknamed the GrOgnards Grum-
blers). They were singing and talking,
and many of them were engaged i'll re-
counting the splendid victories of Italy
and of Egypt. The emperor, wrapped
up in his redinGOte grlse, passed along
unperceived He listened to their con-
vcrsation, smiled and seemed greatly
affected Suddenly he passed i blv-
ouac the fire of which, cleaning full
in his face. discovered him. The en-

tents, the cry of 'Nive rempereur.
passed from mouth to mouth and rent
the air. The fires were Immediately
deserted. for the soldiers rushed for
ward to behold their well beloved chief.
They took the straw from their beds
and, lighting it. made torches with
which they illumined the gloom of the
night, still shouting 'Nive rempereur"
with that heartfelt enthusiasm which
neither authority, seduction nor corrup-
ton can ever repress. Napoleon was
moved. Enough, my lads: enough Of
this" he said. But these proofs of at
tachment afforded him the liveliest
pleasure, and his heart responded to
them. 'Ah. you seek gloryp exclaimed

A BIunder at the Last.

Raleigh Times
1t will be remembered by some that
this paper before anything was heard
from Judge Parker. that the attempt
to declare for gold in the National
platform and the failure to do SO was
the mistake at the St Louis cOnven-
ton. We confess, however, that we
did not ut the time we wrote, regard
it in the serious light we do now.
What Judge Parker has said on the
subject will be in his favor, and yet it
ton had been taken. Republican
papers and speakers would not have
hesitated to put Judge Parker and
the Democratic party in the attitude
of winking at free silver And really
the argument would appear to have
some foundation. inasmuch as the
committee tried to declare for gold
and failed. Judge farker's position
puts him in q clear Ii ht, so far as he
is concerned, but it is evidently an
apple OF discord in the Democratic
party, the evil effects of which will
appear in Il greater or less degree. In
the history of the Democratic party
nothing has ever so severely dis
counted the saneneSS and safety OF
its policy us its advocacy of the free
and unlimited coinage oi silver. 1t
utterly and hopelessly destroyed us
in the estimation of the thinking bus
mess element of the country. To re-
pudiate it, and get away from it was
the hope for the party's future sue
cess. The people felt sure the con-
vention at st. Louis would do this,
and thefact that they have appeared
to hesitate will do us no good. The
committee ought to have stood by
Hill, world without end.

CLAIMS FRAUD IN LONOKE.
J. n. Hicks Contests Nomination Of
Sheriff.

!. H. Hicks, who was a candidate
for sheriff in the Democratic prima-
RE in Lonoke county, has filed an APP
piication for q writ of mandamus to
compel the commissioners of Lonoke
county to place his name on the tick
ct to be voted for in the September
election as the regular Democratic
nominee for sheriff in that county.
Mr.. Hicks application is based up
on the claim that there was fraud in
the primaries He claims that he
was regularly nominated, but was
counted out by the election officials.
He claims that he defeated NJ. G.
House, the other candidate for sher-
if, by a majority of eleven votes.
The application for q writ of man
damus was made before Judge Chap
line at Lonoke It was filed by Con
eressman Joe T. Robinson and I. c,
Trimble of Lonoke, Attorney General
Murphy and Attorneys Mehaffy and
Lewis Of Little Rock on behalf of Mr..
Hicks
No action was taken by the court
yesterday on the application. but it IS
expected that something will be done
within a short time. as the election
is bat a few weeks distant.
Mr.. Hicks first appealed to the
Democratic county central commit
tee Of Lonoke county to take some
action in the matter, hut that body
refused TO Interfere He then decid-
ed to take the question TITO the
courts and carry the contest as far
as possible.
