LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Sept. 14.-Re-
turns up to midnight show that the
democratic state ticket has been
elected by large majorities, though the
election officers by ignoring the poll
tax receipt requirement, as result of
the bitter fight waged against the dem
ocratic state ticket by prohibitionists
who claimed that the democratic state
board recently placed the liquor inter-
ests in control of the various counties
election machinery. The vets carried
Little Rock by 2. 100, electing the entire
democratic ticket for Pulaski county.
Pulaski countys vote today was over
5000, double what it was two years ago.
Little Rock and Argenta triple their
vote of two years ago. Argenta is a
negro town. The vets also carried
Pine Bluff, Helena, Texarkana and
Newport largely negro cities, where
negroes were voted like sheep for sa-
looms and democrats. st. Francis and
other interior counties voted dry and
gave Tnajorities for Worthington, the
republican candidate for governor on
the prohibition platform. Doneghy

600 majority. Women worked at the

CHANLER HAS THE LEAD
New York Democrats Will Prob
ably Name Him for Governor

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Sept. 14.-At the
conclusion of day of extended and
significant conferences, participated in
by practically all of the state leaders
who are here, the nebulous conditions
surrounding the nomination by the
democratic state convention of a can
didate for governor, took definite form
and the problem tonight is declared to
have been reduced to choice between
Lieutenant Governor Lewis jStuyvesant
Chanler, who is being urged by State
Chairman William J. Corners, and JUS
tice James w. Gerard of New York
city, who is announced as the choice
Of Charles f. Murphy, leader of Tam
many hall.
The race seems to have resolved it
self into a contest between the upstate
delegates, who are declared to be
strongly in favor of Chanler, and the
Tammany delegates, with their allies
throughout the state, who will follow
the suggestion of Murphy.
The democratic state committee voted
tonight to seat the contesting anti
McCarren delegates in the sixth and
ninth districts of Kings county. Only
five members of the committee voted
with McCarren. The Brooklyn senator
said today that if any of his delegates
were unseated by the credentials COM
mittee the entire Kings county delega-
tion would bolt the convention.

SEIZE MRS. THAW'S
PICTURE FOR BILL
Millinef Gets Judgment Against
Evelyn and Sheriff Takes
Portrait
Work Was Done by Noted Art-
ist and ElaborateIy Framed
by Stanford White

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-When the
sheriff today seized a portrait of Mrs.
Harry X. Thaw and owned by her, it
developed for the first time that mill
liner had obtained judgment against
her on September 2 for $236
The portrait is study in brown of
Mrs. Thaw by Harrington, and she is
said to have posed for 1t at the request
of Stanford White, who was killed by
her husband. It is inclosed in a re-
markable brass frame which was de-
signed by White.
1t Is believed the picture would bring
much more than the amount of the
judgment If put up at sheriffs sale.
The original bin of the milliner was
for 1886, representing purchases on two
days, including waists at S125 and $135
each and suit at $40. Payments ag-
gregating $3.50 were made on account
and then were stopped.

jail today in custody of Under Sheriff
Townsend. and, accompanied by his
counsel, Charles Morschauser, boarded
train for Tarrytown. Thence the three
went by trolley to the Westchester

be in the custody of Sheriff Lane.

WAR AMONG REPUBLICANS
Three Candidates in San Mateo
Want Assembly Nomination

SAN MATEO, Sept. 14.-In spite of
the frantic appeals for peace made by
machine politicians. war has broken
out in the republican ranks In San Ma
teo county. Three men are in the field
lighting for the nomination for as
semblyman-Richard H. Jury of San
Mateo, Henry Ward Brown of Colma
and II. Holmquisf of Redwood City.
When the political pot first began to
boil, Brown fiirted with the machine
men and hoped to secure the indorse-
ment of the machine leaders through
out the county. The machine men let
Brown down after encouraging him,
Notwithstanding his good record at Sac
Holmquist of Redwood City. Chagrined
the machine he could not placate.
The situation has been complicated
further by the return of Richard H
Jury, the present assemblyman. and his
resumption of newspaper work. Jury
has announced that he wants the nomi-
nation, and his personal popularity in
the county bids fair to spoil the ma
chimes program. Jury is chairman Of
the printing investigation committee
which will report at the convening of
the new legislature. He states that the
committees investigation has shown
that the general expenses of the state
printing office, which is under the di-
rection of w. w. Shannon, should be
reduced from 10 to 25 per cent and the
cost of production of school books
from 20 to 90 per cent.

though Fred Gerdes will be named In

MARYLAND GIVES
BRYAN OVATION
Twenty-Five Thousand Persons
in Audience at Evening
Meeting in Baltimore
Says the Border State Belongs
to the Democracy and
Makes Fun OF Taft

BALTIMORE, Sept 14.-William J..
Bryan, democratic candidate for presi-
dent, today for q second time claimed
the attention of the voters of Maryland
He spoke twice. the first time at An
napolis, where he discussed the issues
of the campaign, and today in this city
before an audience which is conserva-
lively estimated as exceeding $4,000
persons. Bryan received an ovation
seldom equaIed in this city.
When he stepped to the front of the
platform the crowd rose en- masse,
cheered and waved flags, the band the
while playing Dixie Bryan devoted
most of his time to a discussion Of the
same issues he has presented else
where. He stated with emphasis that
there was nothing in. the democratic
platform that need alarm any legiti-
mate interest. Among other things he
said:
THE democratic platform differs from
the republican platform in that our
party distinctly declares what it op-
poses and what it favors. When you
read the democratic platform you know
exactly what to expect, for the candi-
dates are pledged to the platform.
You not only know what the platform
includes, but you know that it excludes
everything else. The republican plat
form is ambiguous and uncertain.
When you get through reading it you
are in the dark as to what the presi1
dent will do
Taft, he said, had already amended
his platform in several particulars, but
none know what other amendments he
might add before election and what ad-
ditions he might make to it after cleo
ton. When any one came to construe
the republican platform, he said, a
guessing contest was entered into and
none could tell whose guess was near
est the truth.
Bryan said Maryland by right was a
democratic state and that no democrat
could find in the Denver platform an
excuse for voting the republican ticket.
But" he said, republicans who recog
niZe the abuses that have grown up
under republican rule can find a reason
for joining with the democrats to re-
store the government to its own
foundations, for the democratic senti-
ment in the country is far larger than
any party and the democratic sentiment
demands that the laws shall be made
in the interests of the whole people and
that the government shall be admins
tered in such a way that the rights of
all shall be protected and that special
privileges shall be no longer granted
TO the few.
