Little Rock, March "a, 1908.
Information received at this Office
for the past few days point with un-
mistakable certainty to the fact that
the race for governor is between Hine-

those who have had most experience
in forecasting State elections that
Donaghey will finish third in the race,
with vote approximating only 10000.

DO NAGhEY Will
CARRY JEFFERSON
Conference Held Last Night at the Jefferson County
Court House BY Donaghey Supporters and EST
mates Made That This County Will Give Conway
Man 400 Majorty-All Claim the State-No Coun
ty Primary Here-Tcket to Be Voted On

ed of Democratic State primary cleo
ton for the selection of State officers
will be held in this city and county
today as we'll as all Of the towns and
cities and at voting precincts in all

trict officers, including congressman
and railroad commissioners, are to be
voted for In many Of the counties
in the State county elections are to
be held today, although this, Jefferson
county, held its primaries several
months ago.
AT conference held last night at
the court house by the supporters OF
George w. Donaghey in this county,
it was estimated that Donaghey would
caryr this county today over Kirby
and dIinemon by at least 400 majority,
These figures are based on an actual
estimate by men who have made pol
tics a study for years and who have
been active in behalf of the Conway
man since the opening of the State
campaign
Much int crest centers in the guber-
material race in this county. Crowds
of voters congregated on the various
downtown corners last night and dis
cussed the situation. This county has
always been an antiDavis county
since Jeff Davis was elected governor
the first time Although claims are
being mtde that Kirby may carry this
county Md the Hinemon supporters
are equally as confident that their man
in his favor, it is generally conceded
by men who are in position to know
that Donaghey will carry this county
by at least 400 votes, and some are
liberal enough to estimate the Don
aghey majority at 800.

candidates in Little Rock last night

were estimates from tabulated state
