 Worthington Named for Governor.
 Chairman Rix then called for nom. nations for governor, and Hon. H. H. Myers, in an eloquent speech, present ed the name of Judge John 1. Worth. lngton of Harrison. As MT. Myers mounted the platform he was greeted with an outburst of cheers. In pres. enting Judge Worthington's name Mr. Myers declared that it gave him great pleasure to do so, for he be lieved that he would be elected gov ernor of Arkansas.
 Gen. Clayton seconded the nomina. tion of Judge Worthington, calling at. tention to the fact that the latter was the first Republican ever elected to office in Carroll county, and that he had held the office of county judge and county treasurer.
 R. L. Williford of Mississippi county also seconded the nomination of Judge Worthington.
 On motion of Albert Harrison of Marshall the nominations were closed, and Judge Warrington was nominated by exclamation on a Iising vote.
 Warrington Accepts Nomination
 The nominee was greeted with cheers when he was escorted to the platform. and in a brief speech of ac- ceptance thanked the convention for the honor bestowed upon him.
 My highest aim" he declared, will be to try to make myself at least req sonably worthy of the confidence bestowed on me today. If can come within stones throw of being what Mir. Myers and Gen. Clayton say am, l believe that, from the enthusi- asm manifested here, we will give the other gentlemen a run for their mon ey. In that state we are met by q party which says, We will not take too many chances, but will hold the stakes all the time But I don't know whether they will or not The great mass of the people are getting awful ly tired of the acts of the dominant party"
 Judge Worthington also attacked the election laws A short time ago." he said. "the governor of this state, by the aid of this law, succeeded in elect ing himself senator over one of the grandest men of the state and under took to name Little as candidate to succeed him. With your help We will see if We cannot land Republican in the governors chair. We need more capital and more population. The state should be settled by men who believe in equal rights to all men. The Republican party stands, as it has in the past for equal and exact justice for each man. regardless of his race or previous condition of seryi- tude."
 U. S. Bratton moved that no nor- nations be made for other state off cers, and this motion was carried. al though a few scattering votes were cast against it.
 After the selection of the various committeeman. the convention ad- journed sine die.
