In Ecore Fabre township in Ouaehita county. we found poll book containing list of all the voters fifty-six in num- Der, but no tally sheet showing for whom these votes had been cast, neither cer- tficate of the officials of the election showing for whom these votes had been cast but arriving at the vote that each of the candidates received in that town ship, we has two newspapers published in Ouachita county immed lately after the primary in which the township of Ecoie Fabre and we found the vote as pub lished by newspapers was correct in ev- cry other respect giving the correct vote in the other townships in the county that papers including the township above re ferred to corresponded with the total vote of the county in the Congressional race as certified to by the chairman and secretary of the County Central commit tee of that county which certificate was in our possession, therefore adopted that as the vote of that township and 50 count ed it as arriving at the total vote. In casting up the vote of all these coun- ties we found a gain of thirty-three votes for MT. Goodwin and a gain of thirty five votes for MT. Wallace over the tabu- lated report that was furnished us which was in the hands of the original committee, the irregularities we found were such as would naturally arise and were not confined to either party of this contest
 We believe that Mr. Wallace is en- titled to the nomination. and would therefore recommend to the committee that he be declared the nominee. but on account of the closeness of the vote we feel that Mr. Goodwin was justified in asking that the investigation be made

 In asoertaning the vote in Union ooun- ty the evidence before the committee was the certificate of the chairman and secretary of the county central commit tee of that county certifying the vote to be as above stated. In addition to this we had the vote in that county as pub lished by two different newspapers pub lished immediately after the primary in said county, giving the vote by town ships, each one agreeing with the other. and both agreeing with the certificate of the chairman and secretary above re- ferred to.
 In casting up the votes in the various counties we did not take the amounts as cast up by the clerks and judges of each township as conclusive, but counted the tally sheets ourselves in each township in each county, and we found some dis erepancies and inaccuracies in the re- suit asoertained by the changes of the totals reached by the actual count, but such only as would naturally arise in casting up votes in this manner, and we see no evidence of any fraud or attempt ed fraud.

DEVELOPMENT OF A STAFF.
Value of Our State Talr Ia BuiIdlaq a Greater
 Arkansas.

Following are a few remarks from an address before the Retail Hardware Dealers association which met at Hot Springs. by Hon. Geo. R. Belding. president of the Arkansas State Fair:
 The greatest amount of fruit is produced in New York, with Georgia a close second. But the largest apple orchards in the world are in Benton and Washington counties. Arkansas. and the apple has yet to put in it's appearance that can take the blue ribbon from the far-famous. big rcd apple of Arkansas.
 You ask me what else we have to exploit that will bring about the result so extrayagantly pictured for Arkansas future. 1 answer, we can show the finest bale of long staple cotton grown in America; alfalfa hay.never surpassed. or ever equalled; deposits of bauxite that furnishes three-fouths of the out put of the entire world; finest qual- ity of Portland cemert in immense quantities; mountains of granite. slate, marble, whetstone and crys- tals; and inexaustible supply of zinc and lead, and diamond fields that outrival those of South Africa. Our beautiful and magnificent pearls found in White and Black rivers have become world famous and are now sought after by European aristocracy and being added to the most exclusive col- lections in the world. The rice culture. no longer being experi- mental, is now recognized as one of the most profitable and abund- ant crops. Hay that is raised on our vast prairies is considered the best grown and has become fixed standard, known as Arkansas prai- rie hay. Aside from all this we are becoming a manufacturing cen ter of no mean proportions, furni- ture factories, canning factories. chair factories, door and screen factories, cotton mills and cotton seed oil mills. Jug factories. harness and wagon factories and machine shops can be enumerated among some of the important manufactur- ing establishments.
 You ask me what else we have to offer. My answer is that have scachly made start.

 Fellow Citizens:
 Whereas, the sub committee appointed 9 investigate the returns in the Seventh Congressional district and to determine the vote cast between Minor Wallace and w, s.

 And whereas said report was re oeived and adopted by said committee and said committee unanimously de 5lared MT Wallace the regular Demo cratic nominee for congress. wherefore. the undersigned chairman and secretary of the congressional central committee hereby urge upon every Democratic news paper in said district it's duty to place the name of MT Wallace in it's columns as such nominee and give him and the balance of the Democratic ticket county, state and national, their active and loyal support.
 With great hopes of success the Demo cratic party IS uniting and mobilizing it's forces, not only for the election of the Democratic nominee fer president. but a Democratic majority in the house of representatives; and as Nelson, at Ira falgar. said to his men, England ex- poets every man to do his duty today" so the Democratic party expects every Democrat to do his duty in the Novem- Der election. The Republicans put a candidate in the field some time ago. and this being a presidential year. the oppo- sition will wage vigorous fight all along the line. Let us, have no divisions, but march under the banner of Demo- cracy in solid phalanx to victory and the consciousness of duty well done.
 A copy of this address, with a copy ol the committee s report, are forwarded tt each newspaper for publication for the benefit of it's readers, and we request a copy of each paper containing them for warded to John Clifford, Secretary Cam den, Ark.

sity, who went east about a month ago
TO attend the meeting of the Phi Kappa
Psi convention as delegate from
the local chapter of the University

are preparing to welcome him back.
He took an active part in the Greek
letter convention in Denver and later
toured the east with a number of his
fraternity fellows. At present he is
visiting friends in Los Angeles.
His home coming to this city is of
more than ordinary interest. as he will
be the first editor OF the Daily Cali

control of the student body of the
university.
Heretofore the daily has been an
organ of the fraternities and other

aged under the direction of the exec

TAFT SPEECHES RECALLED
Hitchcock Refuses TO Comment
on Injunction Statement

WASHINGTON. July 12.-Frank H.
Hitchcock, chairman Of the republican
national committee. had his attention
brought this afternoon TO the publica-
ton IN Chicago newspaper of what
was reported TO be an authorized
statement issued by the Industrial
me anti-lnJunction plank of the plat
form.
Hitchcock said that he had never
heard Of this statement before and that
he certainly would have been advised
had any such statement been authorized
by Judge Taft He declined TO make
any comment on the accuracy of the
statement with regard to Judge Taft's
position in this important matter
II is recalled by Judge Taft's friends
here that, while secretary of war Taft
not infrequently expressed himself with
great candor upon the subject of proper
employment Of the power OF the legal
agency known as the injunction in dis
putes between employers and employees.
They point out that the judge in sew
eral public speeches, notably one in
Boston, indicated his belief that the ex-
listing court practice should be regu-
lated so as to admit Of the trial of con-
tempt cases before other judges than
those issuing the writ and that in other
respects he was in favor OF liberalizing
court practice in the interest of labor,
never. however, going to the extent of
sanctionining the right Of suspension of
such writs OF injunction without notice
IN cases where such action was neces-
sary 10 prevent violence or destruction
OF tangible property.
