LUDWIG LEADS IN PULASKI
Former Conway Man Gets III More Votes
 than Donaghey in that County.

Little Rock, Sept. IS. The of- ficial canvass of the Pulaski coun- ty returns, completed here today, show that o. C. Ludwig leads the ticket, receiving III more votes than Donaghey. This is possibly due to the fact that there was no Socialist candidate for secretary of state, as was the case in the gov ernor's race.
 The count shows that George w. Donaghey received 5,375 votes, John I. Warrington 2,oI8, J. Sam Jones 25I, o. C. Ludwig, secre- tary of state, received 5,496, and T. o. Fitzpatrick 3,296.

ADVERTISING CONWAY.

As means of advertising Con- way the State Normal School will be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. As 1t is state institution, newspapers throughout Arkansas freely devote much of their space to articles concerning the Normal and its advantageous location in this city.
 Another factor in advertising Conway, we believe, is our Daily Edition. A town enterprising enough to support a daily paper and to give 1t the prosperous ap- pearance that our paper has pre- sented during its first week, is bound to attract attention.
 An example of the value of both the Normal and the Daily as ad- vertising factors is seen in the fol- lowing editorial taken from this week S Russellville Courier Demo- crat:
 Tuesday morning we received Vol. I. No. I, of the Daily Log Cabin Democrat of Conway. 1t will be remembered that Conway was the successful bidder for the location of the State Normal School for which Russellville made a noble effort. Conway has been on genuine boom since securing the school and we doubt If there is a contributor there who has not already been convinced that his donation was a good in- vestment. The Normal School is now almost ready for occupancy, dozens of residences have been built i'll close proximity to it, sev- eral miles oi concrete sidewalk have been laid in the new addition to the town, eight new business houses are either under course of constructions or have been con-

MOSQUITOES IN CANAL ZONE
How They Are ExtermiDated by
 Scientific Methods.
Great Disseminators of Disease Are Elf Actively Kept Down By Scientific
 Methods

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 For the past four years the Unit ed States Government at Panama has waged war on those little pestiferous skeeters. There are more than fifty known species of mosquitoes on the Zone. Only two, however, are known to be danger ous, the Stegomyia, which when in oculated carry the yellow fever germ, and the Anopheles, which carry the malarlal germ.
 The Sanitary Department have corps of well trained sanitary in- spectors who are making study of the habits of these different spe- cies of mosquitoes. It has been found out by study and watching their habits, that they all have diff ferent ways of breeding and live and feed i'll different places and under different conditions. Al though only two or three species are dangerous, the Sanitary De partment has eXterminated all spe- cies, for safety, by filling swamps, cisterns, wells, and pulling down and destroying all places where any water might stand. Where places could not be filled they were drained, and when they could not be drained they were covered with oil. In the past four years thous- ands of barrels of crude oil have been used. The oil is put on the water for the purpose of killing the "wigglers, as we call them here They breed by the the thousands in rain barrels or water troughs. The theory of Panama is as fol- lows: All wigglers must come to the surface of the water for air at least once in two minutes. some species ofteuer, so if the surface of the water is covered with oil when the wiggler comes to the surface for air, its lungs" fill with oil and kill it. On the Zone where there are 10 feet of rain a year the work of keeping places drained is stupendous, but it has been done. At first there was great opposition to the mosquito theory" and greater when the sanitary depart ment came ill and filled up cisterns and took down water gutters from the houses Of course a splendid system of water works had been installed, but the people wanted their cisterns as a reserve.
 In Panama-a place where yell low fever for centuries had had its way-there is smaller death rate than in Memphis or Charleston, all due to the excellent work of Col. Gorgas and his department and the financial backing of the United States Government. The cleaning of the Isthmus has cost millions, but it has made an Isthmian Can al possible.
 In Conway there are many mos quitoes, They breed in the ditch along the railroad, and in rain barrels. No dangerous species has yet been noticed-except those which cause us to lose our temper. The presence of these are unneces. sary-if our citizens would keep their water retainers empty, there by destroying the breeding places

DONACHEY'S
 BIC MAJORITY
EARLY ESTIMATES CONFIRMED
Majority for Donaghey Will Be
 about 75,ooo.
Democratic Victory Eclipses all Previous Records Socialists Also Make
 Gains

The complete returns from Mon days election which have been re- ceived up to the present time con- firm an early prediction that the total vote cast in Mondays cleo ton was larger than that cast two years ago, and that the Democrat ic majority would be at least as large as that received by Governor Little, says today's Gazette.
 Complete returns from sixteen counties, official and unofficial, give Donaghey 25,7I3 and Worth ington 10, IA, plurality of I5,569 for Donaghey. These same coun ties in 1oo6 gave Little 22,7 ,77o and Worthington 9,46S, plurality ot I3,SII for Little.
 If the remainder of the returns show the same gains, the total vote cast in Mondays election will be found to be I75,oo as com pared with I5G,S48 in I9o6, and Dolaghey's plurality over Worth ington will be nearly 75,ooo. Complete returns may decrease these figures, but the indications are that both the total vote cast and the Democratic ma jority will break all previous records.
 Gain in Socialist Vote.
 The full returns which have been received show a marked in crease in the vote for the Sociali st candidate for governor over that of two years ago. If the present gain is maintained in the counties which have not yet reported, the indications are that the Socialist vote will be increased from 5,I85, the number of votes cast for Dan Hogan for governor ill 1906, to more than 10, 900.
