JEFF DAVIS OF ARKANSAS WILL
 BE OUT OF PLACE IN SENATE

Little Rock, Ark, Feb. i.--(Special Corresponden .)-To raise a row. in the United States Senate, Is the avowed intention of Jeff Davis, who has just been elected by the Arkansas Legis- xature to represent his State in the upper House of the national Congress. The new senator has expressed the opinion that what the United States Senate needs is good shaking up," and he has announced that he will un- dertake to do the shaking" when he assumes the duties of his new office March 4.
 These war-like statements have been made by Senator-elect Davis before loudly applauding crowds of farmers in Arkansas and adjoining States, some fifteen hundred miles from Washing &on, and there are those who venture 1he opinion that the row" will be tenn porarily postponed, at least, when the new senator from Arkansas reaches she seat of the national government.
 There is no doubt that if the Jeff Davis that enters the Senate on March v next is the same Jeff Davis that has kept the State of Arkansas in a tur- mol for the past ten years, the Sem ate will be shaken up," but 1t Is gem orally believed that 1t will be an en- tirely different person who assumes his seat in the American House of

Lords. Those who hold this belief base their opinion upon the declaration that Jeff Davis is one of the shrewdest men Who ever figured in the politics of the State of Arkansas. While no man in the State has ever been assailed so bit- terly both on his official and personal record. no one can be found who will not admit that as a politician he stands head and shoulders above every other man who has been playing the game in Arkansas for the past ten years. It is declared that he has been playing part to a large extent, in Arkansas, and that he Is fully able to play a new and entirely different role, when he finds himself among different surround ings, at safe distance from the "com- mon people," to whom he owes his po- litical success.
 Davis is a man of remarkable per- sonality. While he has never been re- garded as brilliant man, and lays no claim to intellectual attainments. his enemies concede that he Is naturally smart" He received a fairly good education. taking a partial course in the University of Arkansas. This is not apparent in his speeches before his rural friends. His campaign speeches are full of ungrammatical entences and uncouth statements. This Is declared also to be an attitude" and

Jamaica, by way of Barbadoes. , They gave vivid details of the dtsas- ter and protested against the report circulated widely that Sir Alfred's paf- ty inhumaneiy treated Americans at Kingston. In an interview. Sir AL fred said 1t was & "monstrous" state ment, adding:
 "The ship was crowded from end to end with dead and dying. Tn order to provide for these. we had to keep all our own passengers ashore at hotel for two days. Several Americans, who were among those hurt, were treated on board the Port Kingston. and wa provided other Americans who sought shelter under the shed of our wharf with mattresses and supplies from the ship and an armed guard to insura their security"
 nSir Alfred said that he considered that Governor Swettenham did every- thing possible under the extraordinary conditions incident to the earthquake, and added:
 '.I do not think the correspondence with Admiral Davis was one the Gov- ernor thought would ever be made pub lie by the Americal admiral, who. of course, was anxious to help and did hts duty in offering aid, and when 1t was not wanted went away"

warning factions precipitated a bloody
 fight. Time after time Attorney Gen.
 eral George W. Murphy. fiery Confed- crate veteran, who was Davis's most im-
 placable enemy. was pulled back in , his chair as he attempted to rush upoE
 his enemy Davis conducted his own defense and, practically unaided he won his fight. The Investigating com mittee refused to recommend impeach- ment proceedings and the whole dispute finally passed into history.
 Then as Davis's second term as Gov ernor drew near close. he announced that he had determined to run for third term for vindication. He also frankly admitted that he intended to be a candidate for United States senator two years later and that he desired to remain sin the Governors office until that time. This announcement caused afconcentration of all the forces which had been opposing tho Governor dur ing the four years he had been in of flee. The anti-Davis forces selected Carroll D. Weed, associate justice of the Supreme Court as the man upon whom they could combine to oppose Davis. That campaign was the most memorable ever fought in the history of Arkansas For personal bitterness vituperation and spectacular features it's equal probably has never been seen A joint campaign was arranged and the candidates went into every corner of the State. On several occasions per, sonal encounters occurred between the candidates. Fists and canes were used and on one occasion the Supreme Court candidate was knocked off the platform. The primary election resulted in a sweeping victory for Davis, who car ried sixty out of the seventy five conn., ties in the State.
 Shortly after he began his third term as Governor. Davis started his cam pafgn for United States senator He controlled the Democratic State conven- tion and had that body order a blanket primary for senator, the man receiving the highest number of votes to be de- clared the nominee. Davis won an easy victory. defeating the veteran sem ator, James H. Berry, who has rcpre-

sented his State eighteen years in the
 United States Senate, but who now ErJ-
 lows James K. Jones, former senator
 from Arkansas and former chairman
 of the Democratic national committed,
 into retirement, because of the new
 conditions which have arisen in Arkan-
 sas politics in the past ten years. Davis
 was largely responsible for the ,elec-
 tion of Senator, Clarke Co succeed Sem
 ator Jones. Jones and Berry repre- scented the old regime. Clarke and Da- wis represent the new. Clarke and Da- wis have nothing in common excepting that each is of a domineering nature and this in itself is expected to cause a rupture between the two before many months. Clarke is stately and digni- fled, and his family is prominent so- cially Davis has never taken part in the social life of the capital city: He will emulate the example of Senator Bailey of Texas who declared that he, would never wear dress suit. It re- mains to be seen what effect A few years of Washington life will have up- on the new senator.
 Davis is ambitious and that he will, force himself upon the public notice there. is little doubt. After his nomi- nation as United States senator he re- eeived many invitations from sur- rounding States to deliver addresses before gatherings of various kinds. He has accepted almost every one and has made frequent trips to Louisiana, Ten nessee, Texas, Mississippi and Olxlaho- man and Indian Territory. During the recent campaign in Oklahoma he took an active part. He was hailed at va rious points as the next Democratic nominee for vice president and the sound of those cries was apparently not at all displeasing to him. That he has hopes of still higher honors there can be no doubt
