realizing that they did all their work
in the Democratic primary in Janu-
ary, have not been keenly alive TO the
situation, and did not call upan their
vote in the city will not reach 400,r
the vote cast in the several wards I'D
to the noon hour is taken as an in.
dication. No stores or shops have
closed up today in order to allow their
employees to vote, and the employees
and business men generally, like the
man without an umbrella, have refused
to go out in the rain. The judges at
the several wards think it is shame
that they are compelled to keep each
other company all day without any
body dropping in to pass the time Of
day.
Were the members of the Republl-
can party right wide awake, they might
spring big surprise on somebody, but
they seem to have forgotten that the
salary of the city attorney has been
nearly doubled But instances have
been known, even in Arkansas, where
the Republicans tried the little sur.
prise game and were most gloriousy
left. Were it rumored around the
streets that the Republicans in any
great number were even voting, such
crowd of Democrats would charge
on the polls for the voting privilege
that the quaker meetings. now being
neld at the voting places would be
broken up and, moved by the spirit,
an old fashioned camp meetingwouM
take their places.
The polls close at six o'clock and it
will not take long to count the ballots.
The democratic nominees who are re-
ceiving the majority of the votes cast,
are: City attorney, w. F. Coleman;
city clerk, Dan Taylor; alderman First
ward Fred Fox; Second ward, H.. Ri
ley; Third ward Chas. We'll; Fourth
ward, J. A. Clement.
At one o'clock the vote cast in the
wards was as follows:

HAVE WRONG IMPRESSION.
Crate Manufacturers Say New Organ
ization VIII Work to Farmers Ad-
vantage.

The crate manufacturers say the
truckers are laboring under a misap-
prehension as to their reason for or
ganizing. They contend that instead
of working to the farmers disad-
advantage It will be greatly in their
favor. Several reasons are cited { @
bear out this contention. One thug
that is shown as an advantage will be
the establishing of a central office,
the duty of the office 70 be To keep in
touch with the capacity and output of
each factory and also to watch h de-
mand in the different trucking sections
SO that orders can be filled promptly
during the shipping heason. 1t Is said
by the manufacturers that nearly
every year during the heavy shipping
season that the crate supply at times
runs short and often amounts to a
crate panic, causing a loss to the
truckers as we'll as to the
turer.
The manufacturers assert that the
principle advantage they will derive
from the organization will be the adop-
ton of a system of extending credits,
collecting accounts and otherwise
~economiZing in office work.
The price of crates will be advanced
only n cent per crate. this being
done it is said on account Of the
heavy advance in the eos Of labor
and also on account of the high price
that has to be paid for material.
There seems to be a doubt among
the crate manufacturers in regard to
new factories being built.
They say the facturies that manu-
factUre crates are making a very
small profit on the ampunt invested.
The manufacturers say when the
plans and purposes of the new organ-
iZation are understood that there will
be no complaint made by the farmers.
tina the interest Of the grower and
manufacturer are mutual and that
every power possessed by h latter
by reason Of the association will De
used to forward alike the interests of
both the farmer and manufacturer.
