JEFF DAVIS MAN
is BADLY BEATEN
PROSECUTOR OF 5ooDLERs rs
NOMINATED OVER VIGOROUS
OPPOSITION or SENATOR.
RACE FOR GOVERNOR VERY CLOSE
All Of The Candidates Claim
Election by Large
MalorftIes.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, March 26.-
The largest vote ever polled in Dem
ocratic primary in Arkansas was cast
today in the selection of nominees for
State Offices, and while the count Is
progressing as rapidly as possible, be-
cause Of the number of ballots cast
and the length of the ticket, the result
of the contest for many of the offices
will probably not be known before TO-
morrow morning.
For Governor the early returns In
dictate that in the cities the greatest
number of votes were cast for George
w. Donaghey or J. P. Hinemon, while
in the country precincts Attorney
General w. F. Kirby, whose candidacy
was espoused by United States Sena-
tor Jeff Davis, was favored Each OF
the three candidates claims the nomi-
nation by pluralities ranging from TO-
900 to 10000 votes.
Strong claims are made that Jesse
Hart and Carroll d. Wood have de
feated r. F. Fulkerson and T. H. Hum
phreys for Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court
In this pulaski County, a hard
fought contest was made for Prose
cutting Attorney by Boldly Vinson
against Lewis Rhoton, who, for the
past three years, has been prosecuting
alleged legislative boodlers. The indt
cations are that Rhoton has been nom
mated by large majority. His nom
ination was opposed by United States
Senator Davis.

BRYAN ROASTS THE

WHO ELECTED BRADLEY, REPu6-

OLD KENTUCKY.

RICHMOND, Va, March 25.-Wm.
J, Bryan, speaking under the auspices
of the General Assembly at Virginia,
addressed an audience of some 5000
In the City Auditorium tonight. In
the course of his speech he said:
There is such thing as embezzle-
ment of power" he said, land be-
lieye the time will come that when a
man turns a public office to a private
advantage he will be whipped from
society along with the embezzler or
money. Just look at Kentucky. They
elected Republican Senator there by
the aid Of four Democratic votes
At this point there came a sharp cry
of mo" from the audience. Mr.. Bry-
an looked in its direction.
well, I'll not debate the question
with YOU" he shouted, They were
Democrats when they were elected, or
TO be more exact, the people thought
they were Democrats when they were
elected. These four men We're either
elected after the decision at the prl-
mary, or elected committed to the par
ty. Not one would have been elected
n office if he had announced in ad-
vance that he would vote for Repub-
lican. Not one would have voted for a
Republican If his constituents had sus'
pected it. AS an individual they might
have done so; as representatives they
occupied a position of trust and had
no right to substitute their Judgment
for the judgment of those who elected
them. There was no excuse for such
betrayal of public trust. A repre-
sentative has no right to substitute
his Judgment for that NJ the people
whose voice should be supreme"

D. A. Cords. Esq, Fruitvale. CAL
Dear Sir: Your kind favor of the 26th
inst. came to hand this morning.
It is gratifying to learn that so many
people have stopped subscribing to
both the Chronicle and the Examiner
on account of the attitude which each
of those papers has taken, respect
lively, on the graft question. They are.
as you say, "the foes of good govern
ment" I had the pleasure of deliver
ing an address in Oakland last night,
and the manner In which my remarks
about the Oakland Tribune were re-
ceived by the audience convinced me
that pretty general boycott does ex-
list against that paper already.
The public have a right to demand
that newspapers shall tell the truth in
their news columns, regardless OF their
attitudes editorially, and whenever q
paper fails to do this the subscriber is
blind to his own interests who does not
refuse to continue to take it. The SUBJ
scriber is not receiving what he pays
for II the news is falsely colored.
Thanking you for your kind words
and good wishes, sincerely yours,
FRANCIS ]. HENEY.
