The reader should get this idea
firmly fixed in his mind that the
vote dominated by the whisky in
terests didn't go to Crabtree or
Faulkner or Preston or Tyne.
Neither of these four candidates
before the primary received the
vote that his personal popularity
commanded if the word had not
been passed down the line that
another candidate (for some rea-
sony was preferred. Do you grasp
the idea?

FRIDAY. AUGUST 8, 1912.
THE ELECTION.

The official vote Of the county
OF Benton, as declared by the
Board of Election Commissioners,
who canvassed the vote Monday,
shows that full vote was polled in
the election August /.
More votes were polled for Trus-
tee than in any other race. The
returns show the combined vote of
Corbitt, Kee and Wyatt was 2,409,
the heaviest vote polled within the
memory of the oldest inhabitant.
Corbitt has plurality of 370 over
Kee. In the race for Sheriff Howe
was reelected by a majority of 563
over Steele. 1t is said by those
who keep tab on these things that
Howes vote-1 ,470-is the largest
ever cast in the county for a cand-
idate with opposition. The total
vote for Sheriff was 1929. Dillon
was elected Assessor, defeating
Harris by majority of 1873. The
vote for Assessor was 2,211.
The election for Justices of the
Peace was holly contested in near
ly every district in the county,
and the returns indicate that Kee
and Steele were traded literally in
the attempt to capture the County
Court. The Justices elected shows
a number of new faces. Several of
the old members declined to make
the race, and some who sought re-
election were defeated, notably G.
M. M. Harris, A. V. Hardin, G.. B.
Balm and some others.
A careful analysis of the vote
shows that the third is the banner
district of the so-called Regular"
Democrats. The third is the home
of j. w. Saunders, who held an
appointment under Governor nj.
r. Patterson. A notable change
is noted in the fifteenth district,
which, heretofore, has been in line
with its neighbor, the third dis
trict. Corbitt and Howe both run
we'll in the fifteenth. Corbitt led
Kee by 3 votes and Steele polled
only 3 more than Howe.
The seventh is another district
that made a good showing. Howe
aud Corbitt both carried the sew
enth. Corbitt led the ticket in the
first, and Howe received a fine vote
there. Wyatt was given a good
vote in the eighth and ninth, but
his vote was light elsewhere in the
county. Howe and Steele received
a good vote in the eighth.
When you sum up the vote for
Corbitt in the nearby districts
238 in the fifth, 164 in the tenth
(oh, you tenth!), 80 in the twelfth
and 33 in the ffteenth-it speaks
we'll for the popularity of the can
didate who had to bear the brunt
of the fight on the fusion ticket.

STATES WANT
PART OF MONEY
Public Lands Fund Belongs
to Them as Well as to
Newer States.

Washington. April 1.-THE sena-
tors of Virginia and West Virginia to-
day began a movement to require the
United States government to account
to the thirteen original states for the
money received from the sale of the
northwest territory. although a Gen.
fury has passed since the territory
was given by Virginia to the federal
government.
The sum probably would amount to
more than $1,000 600. Senator Chiffon
of West Virginia introduced in the
a bill to give to the court of
jurisdiction to settle the claim.
He declared Virginia did not give the
territory outright to the federal gov
eminent but transferred title to the
government to hold the territory as
trustee for the benefit of the thirteen
original states.
