AMENDMENT NO. 10
 IS ADOPTED

Little Rock, Sept. 14.-The re- turns continue to come in slow ly, but enough is known to make the prediction safe that Amend ment No. 10 was adopted by a majority considerably short of that which had been predicted.
 The vote for the amendment is running two to one on actual ma jority, but because of the large number of voters who failed to vote either way the constitutions al majority will be reduced to a few thousand.
 The total vote cast for gover- nor in 159 precincts which have reported is 19,912, a majority of which is 9,957. In these pre- cincts there were 11,272 for the amendment and 5,747 against it, being constitutional majority of about 1915. This shows that about 65 per cent is voting on the amendment at ratio of two to one for it, and at this rate the amendment will receive about S7, ,O00, or 1000 over the requis- ite majority. The majority, how ever, is expected to increase as the country precincts are re- ported, it being, as a rule, strong CT there than in the cities and towns.
 The counties are very much mixed in the amendments, how. ever, and it has been difficult to work out serviceable ratio upon which to predict results without the actual returns from all coun- ties. Amendment No. II has probably carried, although by a smaller majority than No. 10.

we believe the receipt and distribution

ing fact that it has been everything
IN turn and nothing long"-except
consistent booster" OF the Sun. And
this same purpose to boost" the Sun
was only too giaringly at the bottom
OF all this National Conference bust
ness. Else, wherefore ask Democratic
leaders to assemble in solemn conclave
in Baltimore City for the unique pur-
pose Of asking themselves exactly why
they are there and exactly where they
are going That is almost as interest
ing tribute to the political standing
OF the Democratic party as Governor
Crothers' recent declaration that
THE PEOPLE ARE AWAITING
SOME DELIVERANCE FROM
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY,
THEY ARE EXPECTING 1T TO
SPEAK OUT" For the lands sake.
Governor, has the Democratic party
put forth no deliverance-has there
been no speaking out. by National
and state piae orms, by candidates
and canvassers, by such leaders in the
late lanbasting as Judson Harmon
and Woodrow Wilson, and John A.
Dix and Eugene Foss? Who and what
is the Democratic party if the deli
verance of these documents and these
men must be regarded as nothing but
a disappointing silence-as no speak
ing OUT at all, to the peoples salts
faction? All Of which would seem to
be a cruel wounding OF a historic
party in the house of its friends,
somewhat sinister suggestion from
unexpected sources that the vagaries
OF popular elections have lifted into
PAGES OF power, unexpectedly and TN
preparediy, an aggregation OF uncor-
related atoms which can hardly COM
mand the name Of a party, having no
platform, no programme, no purpose
having nothing but a soul burdened
wit hthe supreme necessity OF hastily
discovering how it got here and what
it's for." Now, WE would not make
such criticism as this; we can only
express our surprise hat Demo
Gratis themselves should make it, and
offer Our commiseration to the De-
mocratic party, il the criticism is jus
titled No wonder influential Demo
Gratis SHE'D at the conference plan,

To be sure the Jackson day celebration

kind-hearted not to leave any sort of
