His administrations of the Presidential office were above repreoch and were conducive to the happiness and well being of his fellow countrymen.
 He is certain to receive a larger vote than any other candi- date, and he is clear the choice of the people wherever their un. tramelled wish is permitted to be expressed.
 We urge all Republicans to favor his nomination and cleo tion.
 This convention is unalterably opposed to the amendment to the Constitution of Arkansas, known as the Grand father clause, and pledges it's opposi- ton and that of it's several members to any discrimination in the suffrage, by whatever art flee or device, on the ground of race, color, or previous cOndi- tion of servitude.

NEGRO SUSPECT
 HELD BY SHERIFF

Sheriff billiard yesterday af- ternoon captured negro who gave his name as Henry Adams. Adams is supposed to be one Sid Dunlap, wanted in Tennes see for the murder of Miss Mary H. Ewell.
 There is a S1,O0O reward for this negro and the one being held here fills the description exactly. The negro has a pardon from the Arkansas penitentiary, but it is thought that he secured it from some other negro. The crime for which he is wanted was com mitted in March and the pardon he has, issued this month.
 Sheriff Dillard received the fol lowing telegram from from the Tennessee sheriff:
 Somerville, Tenn, April 25-
 D. l.. Dillard, Sheriff,
 Prescott, Arkansas
 Hold Henry Adams and com, municate with w. A. Krider or F. A. Griffin at LaGrange, Tenn Your description is good, Com municate with officials at Little Rock regarding his pardon claim. If proved to be right man notify me personally im- mediately at my expense.
 M. l.. HARRIS, Sheriff.
 Sheriff billiard has had a pho tograph made of the negro held here and with full description has mailed it to the sheriff at Somerville. He is also in com munication with the penitentiary officials at Little Rock and will probably hear from them to- night.
 The negro will tell nothing and has the aprearace of being a sure enough "bad coon"

RO0yEVELT CLUB
 HAS DECLARED WAR

Little Rock, April 26-The Roosevelt crowd has declared war on the Taft machine. Two Pulaski county conventions were held Thursday after noon, two sets Of 21 delegates and Fl alternates each were elected to the state convention, and two complete county organ nations formed. The Roosevelt League will at once issue a call for state convention to be held on May :, the same day as that of the regular org anization, at which be elected to the national convention, prepared to contest for seats in that organization.
 The county convention was called for 1.30 p. m. Thursday. The "Ins" were early in charge of the hall, and when the "outs" arrived they were inform ed that only those wearing Taft badges would be admitted. So 1S2 delegates, representing every ward and precinct in the county, met outside the door, with J. A. Conner as Chairman, and held a regular convention, electing delegates and adopting the following Resolutions:
 The Republicans of Puluski county. in convention assembled hereby announceth their allegience to Col. Theodore Roosevelt and state their positive preference for him as the Republican candi- date for the Presidency.
 He is easily the most distin- guished living American. This is the verdict, not merely of the people of the United States, but l f all civilized nations as we'll.
The Prescott daily news., 1912-04-26

The regular organization also elected officers, and claim that the other crowd can have no standing before the state con- vention. The Roosevelt men will not attempt to establish such a standing, but will stage their own drama, and carry the fight
 through the national convention.

the first time in the history OF tbs

standing features of the state election
In Vermont today.
1t was apparent early In the even.
Ing that there had been no election

rumber Of republican representative:
were elected to seem to insure the
choice of Allen M. Fletcher by the
legislature.
For many years political student.

the republican majority in Vernon
in September, normally $4,000, ha.
been followed almost invariably by the
party defeat In the presidential fight
IN November. These majorities. which
have averaged close to 10000 in al
state elections in Vermont in presiden.
tai years since 1892, were reported
today by bare plurality.
Progressives Cut Down G. O. p.
The republican loss apparently went
II! great degree to the progressives
and to n somewhat lesser extent tc
the democrats.
The falling off in the republican
vote began with the first returns
while the progressives gained al
along the line, in some cases carrying
towns which had heretofore been re-
garded as strongly republican.
Yet the disaffection from the re-
publican ranks did not extend yer,
far beyond the head Of the ticket
Many towns that showed strong pro-
gressive tendencies sent republican
representatives to the legislature
Party leaders were assured early OF
substantial majority on a joint bal
lot for governor. as the failure Of q
candidate to get a majority at the
polls throws the election into the
legislature. Progressive leaders were
greatly pleased with the results. II
was pointed out that the party had
gone into the fight with an organiza
ton that was new and was forced to
make up with notable orators what
IT lacked in party management. with
Colonel Roosevelt leading the charge
The democratic managers also de-
rived satisfaction from the early re-
turns, showing, as they did, decided
gains over two and four years ago
They also pointed out that these gains
had been made despite claims of the
progressive speakers that the latter
party would recruit some of its
strength from democrats.
The prohibition and socialist vote
did not vary materially from former
years.
Many republican leaders claimed
that the threatening weather contrib
uted to falling off In the vote. These
men stated that the registered vote Of
Vermont was close to 10000 and
that had weather conditions been fair
the party would have rolled up more
than 10000 for Mr.. Fletcher.
