8 IN THE BIG FOURF

Little Rock, June 7.-While largely perfunctory, the Democratic State Convention of Arkansas did not lack wholly in interest. Enough of the old time genuine Democracy remains to make it intolerant of a state for every proposition, and there were several interesting developments not on the program.
 Upon the suggestion of the Demo- cratic nominee for governor, who de- sired harmony, although his person. al wishes were not generally known, the convention by vote of 264 to 306, after a warm debate, adopted resolution by J. D. Head, of Miller county, that eight delegates-at-larg be elected to the Baltimore conven- tion and given half vote each. This took care of several aspirants for the honor, and prevented what many thought was the possibility of defeat ing Senator James P. Clarke who had stirred up considerable opposition by his denunciation of Bryan. The dele gates selected are as follows: At Large-Congressma Joe T.. Robinson, Senator James P. Clarke, Senator Jeff Davis, John H. Hinemon, Hal l.. Norwood, B.. E. Hudgins, S. Brundidge and Jerry c. South.
 1st District-Delegates, T. H. Cara way, Amos Jarman; alternates, Ad Bertig, Ed Roddy.
 2nd District-Delegates Claude Coger, J. E. Pringle; alternates, E. c. Parsons, D. L. King.
 3rd District-Delegates, Hugh 'F. Reagan, J. w. Story, Sam Nunnelley s. o. Woffard, (half vote each).
 4th District-Delegates w. J. Johnson, J. D. Head; alternates, D. B. Sain, c. c. Calvert.
 5th District-W. G. Hutton, J. M. Parker, T.. A. Pettigrew, J. w. John son
 9th District-Delegates, John c, Ross, James c. Knox; alternates Da- vid A. Gates, l.. c. Smith.
 7th District-Delegates E. o. Ma honey, l.. F. Monroe; alternates, J H. McMillan, w. G. Street..
 For electors at largo there were four nominations, and the election re. suited as follows: John D. Arbuckle of Logan, 2S6; Will Steel, of Miller 3S9; Tom D. Brooks, of Pope, 189; c N. Killough, of Cross, 220. The cleo tors are as follows:
 At Large-John D. Arbuckle, Will Steel.

 Judge A. J. Walls of Lonoke county manager of MT. Robinson's campaign for governor, was elected chairman . of the Democratic State Central Com mittee, and County Treasurer w. Hutton, of Pulaski, was chosen a secretary. Judge w. M. Kavanaugh of Pulaski, was unanimously chosel as National Committeeman from Ark ansas to succeed Guy B. Tucker
 At the forenoon session Thursday, . motion by J. s. Abercrombie. of Sa line, that the time of holding the pri maries for state officers be change from the fourth Wednesday in Jul
 was adopted by an overwhelmin
 vote. A few hours deliberation, how : ever, convinced majority that thi was an error, and at the afternoo :, session it was reconsidered and tn :, old date retained. In this connection . Judge T. H. Humphreys, of Washing
 ton, offered resolution that the leg : islature be requested to pass la7 requiring all counties to hold the pr
 maries for county officers on the sam
 date as the primary for state officer
 was overwhelmingly defeated.
 o. N. Kjllough moved that the ne,
 state convention be held in. Hs
 Springs. and James A. Cray of Pulai Xii, moved as substitute that 1t |
