ROBINSON FORCES CONTROL COMPLETE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION FOLLOWS PR FLA R R A N G E D LINE OF ACTION-OFFICIAL
 VOTE CANVASSED.

L tile Rock, June 5.-The Demo- cratic state convention met at noon today at the Kempner theater. There was very little to be done that had not before been determined upon.
 W. H. Martin of Hot Springs is permanent chairman, and Paul Lit tie of Sebastian is permanent secre- tary. o. c. Ludwig of Little Rock is chairman of the platform commit tee. It is practically settled fact that the platform will be silent on the prohibition question. Judge A. J. Walls of Lonoke will be chairman of the state committee, and w. G. Hut ton of Little Rock will be secretary. The personnel of the "big four" is not certain, but it looks like they will be Senators Davis and Clarke, MT. Robinson and J. II. Hinemon. There is plan, however, to send the alter mates as delegates, seating the eight with half vote each.
 Everything being slated in ad- vance, it is not expected there will be much contest over anything, but that the greatest harmony will pre- vail.
 The state committee Tuesday aft ernoon heard the senatorial contest from the district composed of Dallas, Cleveland and Lincoln and awarded the office to Ed Overman over J. E. Hampton, who had been declared the nominee by the senatorial convention. The question of rotation by counties was involved, and the committee de- cided that Overman was entitled to it, having received the majority of votes cast in Dallas county, although Judge Hampton received the major ity in the district, h;s name having been placed on the ticket in Cleve- land county.
 Congressman Robinson's majority over Governor Donaghey in the re- cent primary election was 43,819, ac- cordng to the official returns from the entire state, as tabulated yester- day by subcommittee of the state central committee. J. M Oathout's majority over Col J. C. Colquitt for state auditor, in the closest race of the primary, was 4,734. State Su- perintendent George B. Cook led the ticket among the unopposed candi- dates with vote of 136,60O.
 Columbia, Cross, Faulkner, Poin- sett, St. Francis and Union were the only counties carried by Governor Donaghey, although he lost several others by close margins.
