EX- SENATOR j. K. JONES. a

President, Ii Is Said.

Washington, Oct. 12.-It is
asserted that Sames K. Jones of
Arkansas, who was chairman of
the Desperate National Com
mittee curing the Bryan cam
paigns, has written a letter to the
peerless leader" advising him
to keep out Of the next presi-
dental race. Mr.. Jones declines
to discuss the matter, pleading
that he Is now practicing law in
Washington and no longer in
politics. There is good authority,
however for the statement that
he has Written the letter,
The ex-senator and national
chairman is a very close friend
Of Mr., Eryan, and the latter has
much cchfidence in his political
acumen, 1t is said that Mr..
Jones urges Bryan to keep out
of the fight on the ground that
he was foredoomed to defeat if he
became a candidate.

DELAYED ELECTION RESULTS.
Something Crooked Is Usually Going On
When The Returns Are Delayed.
(Batesville News.)

The Little Rock Gazette sug-
gests and urges that when the
Democratic State Central Com
mittee meets, that it perfect
arrangements by which there can
be no delay in announcing the
results of the state primary in
March next. Missouri has
quick count system, which acts
admirably and that Arkansas
needs a similar one there can be
mo doubt. In support Of this
claim we need only to call to
mind the time occupied in as
certaining the results of the race
between Berry and Davis for the
U. S. Senate in last primary.
Arrangements can easily be made
by which the count could be
practically completed by the time
the polls are closed, so there
could be a prompt announcement
Of the result through the State,
In fact, with present telegraph
and telephone facilities, every
precinct in the State, more than
1900 in all, should bo heard from
within twelve hours from the
hour the polls are closed.
