Little Rock.-In D counties out of he 75 in the state. Amendment No. 10, providing for the initiative and referendum, has total cf 74,704 votes out of a total of l25,1Gl votes east. The constitutional majority in hose counties would be 62.SS1. so hat the amendment has II ,S23 votes more than necessary in the 59 eoun- ties.
 In 50 counties out of the E. Amend nent No. II now has total Of 50,- SIP votes out of total of 104 4,24I cast. Out of that number cast the constitutional majority would be j2,124 votes, which is 1912 more votes than were cast for the meas. ire. The amendment lacked 1,168 votes of having the constitutional majority in 42 counties, so that the later returns set it back IA more votes.
 The remainder of the counties to be heard from on Amendment No. 10 do not cast a large vote, and there is every indication that the lead of No. 10 over the required constitution. al majority will be between 12.00o and 15,000 votes. The late returns also strengthen the belief, that No. 1 1 has lost by a close vote.
 Up until Monday night Secretary of State Ludwig had received the of ficial returns from only 29 counties

READY FOR TIE BATTLE
REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS ADOPT THEIR PLATFORMS.
strous by Other-Folk Is Again Boosted for President

Jefferson City, Mo.-The Democratic and Republican platforms were an nounced simultaneously, having been approved by their respective conven- tions The Democratic document. which is not so lengthy as the Repub- lican platform. was completed first, but was withheld until the Republi- cans were ready to announce, so that their own guns might not be turned back on them by premature disclo- sures.
 In addition to an indorsement of Joseph W. Folk for president writ. ten into the platform, which was just as strong as Lon Sanders, Folks man ager, could make it, the Democratic platform condemns everything Repub- lcan, including the tariff and Joseph G. Cannon, in range of it. It also con graduates all Democratic officials on their records and censures Repub, licans for failing to give St. Louis home rule.
 The Republican platform. which was said 10 have progressive leanings, in accordance with Gov. Hadley's wish. comes very near to being a stand-pat document
 It praises the tariff, the tariff board gives Taft first-class indorsement and congratulates Roosevelt in con neetion with his work in conservation.
 Hadleys administration is indorsed specifically. and Missouri is congratu- lated for it's rapid advancement and the wide publicity it has received under Rennhlican administration

POTATO CROP in
CLAY CO. SHORT
ESTIMATED THAT THE YIELD
THIS YEAR WILL BE ABOUT IS
PER CENT LOVER THAN LAST
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES FROM
EAST MADE IT so PER CENT.

According to the best authorities,
Clay county will only be able to con-
tribute 80 per cent Of a normal pota-
to yield to the potato supply of the
country this year. If after the pota-
toes have all been dug the result
should be different to the figures quot
ed 1t will be because the, fields over
the country, which they are classed
for poor yield, should produce more
than expected.
Yesterday the expert representative
of a combination Of eastern potato
dealers arrived in the city after maxi
ing what he called a very thorough
Investigation of the "spud" situation
Of Clay county and soon he was dis
playing his prognoticarions to Leslie
Welter, the local potato commission
man. The eastern representative
placed his estimate of the seasons
crop at so per cent. Right away Mr..
Welter took issue with him and de-
clared his figures much too high. The,
figures from which the estimate of so
per cent was based were spread out
and analysed. Mr.. Weller found out
that the e. r. had used only the yields
of the big growers in the county and
he proceeded to make another list of
growers which certainly had to be
reckoned with in the making of any
thing like an accurate estimate Of the
county's output of potatoes. The two
lists were combined and the result
was an estimate of IS to 40 per cent
with indications that the former
figures would turn out to be more cor
rect.
Mr.. Welter says the recent rain
showers have been very beneficial to
the potato fields, as the tubers are
still growing and the moisture means
that they will be bigger than antici-
pated two weeks ago. There is a
marked difference between samples
shown from certain fields, two weeks
ago, and those which were taken from
hills yesterday and brought to town.
The interesting feature now Will be,
what will the potato grower get for
his output, considering the generally
reduced yield all over the country and
to what extent will be the hold on to
your crop feeling"

Man STRICKEN
ON c. N. TRAIN
MAN RIDING ON @. N.
TRAIN NO. FOUND PARALYz-
ed ON TRAlN--LEFT AT RREcK-
ENRIDGE AND TAKEN TO HOS
PITAL--WAs AN ELK.

An unknown man, a passenger on
the north bound Great Northern train
No. 8, was found paralyzed by the
conductor this morning and was left
at Breckenridge, where he was taken
to the hospital. The man was an Elk,
otherwise there was nothing on his
person to identify him.
The conductor of No. 8, in passing
through the coach, had noticed several
times a man bumped over In one
corner of his seat in queer position.
His attention was attracted by the ap-
parent listless attitude and peculiar
stare of his passenger. After passing
through the car several times he con-
cluded to determine II the man were
i'll.
Reaching over, he tapped the man
on the shoulder, and further investi-
cation proved that the man had suf-
fered a paralytic stroke on board the
train. The next stop was Brecken-
ridge, where he was put off in the
care of physicians and taken to the
hospital.
In the lapel of his coat, the man
wore an Elk pin, though no other
identification card was found in his
effects or on his person. AS the con-
ductor was also an Elk. he took an
added interest in seeing that all the
possible care would be given the un-
known invalid.
