ALL IN READINESS
 FOR ELECTION DAY
DONACHEY TO VOTE HERE
RACE so ONE-SID- ED THAT NO MONEY IS
 BEING WAGERED.

Little Rock, March 29.-The big show comes off tomorrow and today all state candidates have been as busy as haymakers getting their forces in line for the battle of ballots tomor- row. The campaign headquarters yes terday sent out the last of their lit erature and the telegraph and tele- phone lines are now being freely re- sorted to to get into communication with the interior The interest here is intense on account of there being several close races, those for secre- tary of state, treasurer and commits sioner of mines, manufactures and az riculture, and what few wagers have been laid here have mostly been in these races.
 Several additional long distance i telephones were today placed in the Donaghey headquarters for use in getting returns tomorrow and tomor- row night Other places will receive | the returns, but the Donaghey office 1 is looked to for reliable and early re- turns, as arrangements have been made to get bulletin from every township of the state as soon as the votes are counted, and nearly all the votes will be counted during the first night, so the total result should be known Thursday morning.
 The exodus of state officials for their home towns to vote has also be- gun, but this year those who go will be considerable less than ever before on account of a number of the officials making their residence in Little Rock. Governor DOnaghey goes to Conway tomorrow morning to cast his vote. He will return on an early train. Bruce T. Bullion will accompany him to Conway, where he will also vote | and hurry back to Little Rock. RII2 man B. Parks, who has been assisting to handle the campaign of Governor Donaghey, left this afternoon for New Lewisville to vote. He will be back tomorrow evening. Attorney General Hal L. Norwood will leave tonight for Mena, where he will cast his ballot and remain several days visiting with old friends. William F. Kirby will vote in TeXarkana. Railroad Commits sioner R. F. Allen left today for Van Buren for the purpose of exercising his great American privilege there. Commissioner Crockett will vote at De Witt. Superintendent of Public Instruction George B. Cook will leave tomorrow for Hot Springs to vote in his old precinct. Associate Justice Frauenthal will vote in Conway.
 The balance of the officials will eith- CT vote in Little Rock or stay here during the election Earle w. Hodges paign into the interior and is elated ox,oo11oo+ -~fc He will not go to Pocahontas to vote. A. W. Estes will spend the election day in Fort Smith. Of the employees in state offices, three in the office of Auditor lobe have gone home to vote. Col COlquitt has gone to Magnolia, Col. Rody to Augusta and Chester Taylor to Pine Bluff
 None of the candidates concede de- feat, but it is so apparent in some of the races that the candidates show by their actions there is no hope for vic l tory. No money is being wagered on the governors race, for it is so appar- ent that Governor Donaghey will sue. ceed himself that the opposition wilA not put up their money unless the' odds are overwhelming, and then only on the probable majority of Donag- hey. The Kavanaugh forces are des- perate and are sending out all sorts of reports in an effort to gain votes by turning the people, but their efforts are meeting with such small success it is painful to them. The people know there is no foundation for the reports and just laugh at them. Hundreds of telegrams are being received at the office of Governor Donaghey insuring him he will carry the counties from which the messages come. The gover- nor is counting on getting a majority of 1000 or more from each of ten counties which appear first on the list, and getting 55 others by an average majority of at least 800 votes. The l few counties which are carried by Kavanaugh will be so small in major ity that they will scarcely make an impression upon the landslide of Don aghey votes.
 Political wiseacres pick Earle w. Hodges to run second only to Cover nor Donaghey in the list of candidates with opposition. Twenty -four hours more and the big noise will begin and the indications are that it will be a noise which will be heard all over the state, for it promises to mean the cleo tion of a clean set of officials, and the elimination of the political element who play that and nothing else in dealing with state affairs.
