.ALDERMANIC RACES

pr. A. C. Jordan,a present member of the City's Legislative body from the Third ward, was nominated fos mayor of Pine Bluff to succeed Mayor w. L. Toney yesterday in the primary election, in; which a heavy vote was boiled, but not as large as has been cast in previous elections in this city. His opponents were Major w. J. Parkes and Edward w. 'Booage. Dr. Jorda a13kplurality was 336 votes and hissy5b5 5ority no.
 In the race M judge of the City Police Court, Judge J. R. Stewart won out for ranomination over George w. Lovejoy. His majority was 2S9 votes. City Treasurer Veo B. Alexander had no opposition for renomination and led the entire tick ct of the single candidates, polling 1 l,159 votes. P. c. Chestnut was re- inominaIted from the First ward to the City Council over Emil Hercher, who received ASA votes while Chesnutt poIled oob. Alderman Gabe Meyer, one of the oldest members of the City Council, ran third. in a three cornered 1 race as an aspirant for aldermanic honors from the Second ward, re- ceiving only 309 votes. George B. Moore, was second to E. A. Sheppard the winner in that ward with only seven majority over Meyer. Shep- pard, the present incumbent from the Second ward, will be returned to the Council. His vote was SIS.
 In the Third ward, where pr. Jor- dan decided to enter his successful race for Mayor instead of seeking al- dermanic honors again, B. A. Howell fairly walked away from his two op- i ponehts, Ben Veil and M. II. Bruce for alderman. Howell received 591 votes, We'll 339, and Bruce, 225. Veil carried the First and Fourth wards, butt his majorities were not sufficient, as Howell polled big ma Jorities in the Second and Third "' o"' DluCe IDIed to carry any one of the city precincts Rudolpn Wolff, in the Fourth ward, was nom- mated for the Council, without op- position He will succeed Alder man Gabe Meyer, who was formerly resident of that ward and who still represents the Fourth ward in the oiey council. After moving into the Fourth ward Alderman Meyer an- nounced as a candidate for re-elec- ton against Alderman, B. A. Shep- pard. Moore entered the race after both of the aldermen had announc- ed in that precinct.
 The election of Dr. Jordan is a flat tering compliment for him. He has always been one of the city's, most I aggressive and valuable members of the council. He had hard fight in which Labor candidate and what was believed by many to be an ad- mlnlstration candidate, announced against him. Notwithstanding prev lous rumors the First ward gave Dr. Jordian a fair vote and his vote in the Second. Third and Fourth wards was sufficient to bring about his nomination had he not received one vote in, the First.
