AT FIRST OPPOSED TT
R1lieyes However That There Is No Good Reason Why Two Candl-
 dates Should Not Run.

Little Rock, Ark, Sept 6.-Regard s Ing the publication in an afternoon N paper yesterday that friends of the Ess Esseandidates for congress were anxious sAs that Garland county, like Jefferson #T[hould have a 'run-Off" special pri- K nary to determine which is the \ Dtronger politically at home, Judge \ Thurston P Farmer, one of Garland s
 candidates who opposed the Jeffer- aSop county idea, said yesterday:
 W "I opposed the plan of run-off in NJefferson because I do not see why Where shouldn't be two candidates from big counties like Jefferson and sGarland if the candidates want to run.
 I was sincere in my statement that
 believed it would be disadvantage to W. H. Martin, my opponent, to submit
 such a proposal to him. I believe
 there is no doubt but that MT. Mar
 tin thinks he will run we'll in the dis
 trict, just as believe my own cam-
 paign thus far has met with more pub
 lie approval than the campaigns of my
 opponents.
 < Il am satisfied with the situation as it stands. I do not believe the pri- Rmary in Jefferson county will deter 0tSlne anything except which of the
 Candidates there will retire. Politi- e! opponents of Gould will not swing to the support of Taylor, and the same
 is true of the Taylor men. It has been my good fortune to receive many ex- spressions from both sides to the ef- feet that when their man loses they will come to me. If there were to be a similar run-off here the situation might be much. better because I find a general demand for Garland coun- ty man in congress and all agree that at least for the next two terms, tor four years) while Hot Springs is re- ceiving the attention of the govern ment, it would be but a fair conces- sion from the other parts of the dis

JEFFERSON COUNTY
 10 GET LESS MONEY
App0rti0nment oi School Fund Made But State Aid 0i High Schools
 Affects It.

ln the recent apportionElent of the common school fund, announced for the various counties by the State Board of Education, Jefferson county will receive s2,34796 less than it re- ceived last year from the same source. This deduction is attributed to the apportionment of $50,000 from the common school fund for state aid of High Schools II was announced at Little Rock yesterday, however, that the Pine Bluff High Shoool had finally been given $9o0 by the State Board of Education from ,le high school aid fund. Last year the apportionment for Jefferson county from the school fund was $4o.007S9 This year this county will receive only $37, ,659 93 which does nor include the $500 that will come to re Pine Bluff High School later,

trict to give the honor to Hot Springs man.
 A run-off affair here would be costly and I do not believe it would be worth while. I do not believe Mr. Martin or myself would profit by it, nor would it serve to the advantage of others. If, however, it should be determined that Garland county and Hot Springs would have better op- portunity of electing the congressman under any different plan than the one now existing, I would not be selfish in the matter and would acquiese. l believe that 1 can win this congress sional race under the conditions as they now exist"

ASKS PARDON FOR
 DWIGHT FORMER
Wife of Convict Ex-HOteI Clerk Wins Help of Some of Arkansas Best
 Citizens for Her Husband.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Sept. 6.-Mrs Dwight Fortner, daughter of H. P Handlan, a multi-millionaire of St Louis, and wife of the former Memphis and Little Rock hotel clerk, who is serving a term of years in the peni- tentiary for embezzlement, came to Jefferson City today, and filed with Pardon Attorney Charles A. Denton a petition signed by nearly all of the state officials and members of the Senate of Arkansas and many St. Louisans, recommending Fortner's release on parole.
 It is not now believed Governor Hadley will extend clemency.
 Mrs. Fortner was accompanied by her attorneys and her little daughter. She talked with the governor a short time, after which he referred her to the pardon attorney.
 Nortner has no recommendation for clemency from the circuit attor- ney, the trial judge nor the jury that convicted him.
 Governor Donaghey of Arkansas re- fused to sign the petition for Fort ner's release, but wrote a letter to Governor Hadley saying the persons who signed it were among the best in the state.
 Among the St. Louisans who signed Fortner's petition are Henry w. Kell, Martin Collins, Lyman T. Hay, Elias Michael, A. c. Stewart and William J. Lemp.
 Fortner dismissed his appeal in the Supreme court, and began serving his sentence November 29, 1910. He would be released under good behav- for about June 1, 1912, under the
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1911-09-07
three-fourths' credit rule.

Dwight Fortner was at one time clerk of the Hotel Jefferson in this city. At the time he went to Jefferson City to begin serving his sentence he was running the Garrett hotel in El Dorado After leaving Pine Bluff he went to Memphis, where he worked in a hotel, and later went to St Louis, where he married the daughter of a very wealthy man, it is said, against the wishes of her parents. He rever bore a bad reputation in any respect until he was found guilty of forging a deed fof $12,00O.
 He left the United States, but was followed by detectives to Paris, France, where he was arrested and was brought back for trial After re- ceiving his sentence of two years at hard labor in the prison, he took an appeal to the Supreme Court of the state, and was released on bond.
 Fortner then became manager of the Garrett hotel in Fl Dorado. and before his case came up before the Supreme Court he withdrew his ap- peal and decided to serve his sen tence
 The parents of Fortner's wife have since made repeated efforts to get her to go to St. Louis and make her home with them, but she has remained in Fl Dorado, and managed the hotel.
