MONDAY Will BE
ELECTION DAY
LARGE VOTE ANTICIPATED
ALL STATE OFFICERS TO BE
ELECTED-SEVHRAL AMEND
MENTS TO BE VOTED ON.

All is in readiness for the general
election next Monday, and those who
have kept up with the campaign pre-
dict the largest vote ever cast in the
history of the state. Congressman
Robinson closed his campaign at Lit
tie Rock last night. Senator Davis
will be the principal speaker at raj
ly in that city tonight. Gov. Dona-
ghey has returned from northwest
Arkansas, where he has been speak
ing for the prohibition and other
amendments. The fight in Faulkner
county has centered around the pro
hihition amendment.
The following call was issued to
day from Democratic headquarters :;
N'To the Democrats Of Arkansas:
Remember The general election to
be held on Monday, Sept. 9. TO vote
and thereby participate in the selec-
ton of our officers of government is
not only the privilege but the solemn
and patriotic duty of every citizen.
I'm view of the approaching
national election, fraud with tremen-
dous interests of the greatest impor-
tance, every DEMOCRAT should re-
spond to the call of duty and cast his
vote to the best interest of the state
and nation.
Every qualified elector should make
some sacrifice, if necessary, in order
to meet the possibilities which an
election imposes upon free people
whose right to participate in the af-
fairs of government were bought by
our forefathers at the cost of proper
ty and Of life.
Fellow Democrats, what will you
do, prove yourself worthy of your
high privilege and sacred duty by ex-
ercising the right to vote, or will you
be disregardful and Indifferent to the
welfare of yourself and your own
people by deliberately neglecting to

possible for selfish interests and de-
signing men to dominate the affairs
of this great commonwealth?
I'VE urge every Democrat to come
up to the full measure of his duty,
thereby enabling us to send mes
sage of good cheer and overwhelming
victory to the nation We insist that
you not only go to the polls yourself
and vote, but that you urge every
Democrat you meet to go and do
likewise
"The self-styled and so-called Pro-
gressives are reporting to the Eastern
press that thousands of disappointed
and disgruntled Democrats (even in
Arkansas) will sever the ties that
hitherto have bound them to the great
Democratic party and cast their votes
for Roosevelt and Johnson. By our
acts next Monday, let us demonstrate
that the clouds of dust they have
thought due to the followers of the
Bull Moose were in fact created by
marching hosts of triumphant DEM
ocracy, Yours for q great and decis-
i've victory,

From 0. A. Lemons

The primary election for 1912
has come and gone with our officials
virtually elected to serve us for the
next two years. And as the citizens
of Randolph county saw fit to elect
our worthy opponent, Mr.. Stacy. to
to serve us as our next assessor, |
want to extend to him a hearty
welcome. As said on every stump
/ believe Mr.. Stacy Is a gentleman,
man worthy and well able to serve
you in the capacity, and while /
tried to defeat my opponent for
that position | did 1t with clean
hands and a pure heart and | want
to thank the good people over the
county for their kindness and
hospitality shown me while making
my rounds in the late campaign
and want to thank my friends for
the liberal support you gave me in
the primary as six was the lowest
number of votes received in any
township and for that reason l feel
my self indebted to every township
in the county. Friends may never
be able financially TO make another
race but as long as have bite to
eat you may come and share with
me. The day will never be too
dreary, or the night too dark, but
that your presence will be APP
preciated in our poor but humble
home.
want to say to the good boys,
who not only voted but worked
against me in different townships
and accused me Of being a Republi-
can and many other things simply
to turn voters, that | am still a
Democrat and have voted In every
election since l was twentyone
years old, and never in my life voted
Republican ticket, and boys when
you have tried all the political parties
in existence return to the true fold
you will find me still clinglng to
the principals of Democracy unless
the other parties advocate something
better for the great mass of common
people IN the future than they
have in the past. | have taken
my defeat calm and cool and have
humbly done your bidding. | have
ascended Salt river from mouth to
source the second time. Boys no
one knows better than one who has
lost by only twenty-nine votes
about the conditions of the climate
away up on the head waters of that
briney stream where it is so cold,
and clammy that, if possible, a
mans courage would fail, bis hopes
vanish and his heart become so cold
that he would never be able to
breathe another smile. But boys l
love you still and trust that l may
so live in the future that some day
l can claim you as my friend.
Friends we are still living IN hopes
that every bitter has its sweet.
And ifin ourhonest efforts to reach
Some cherished aims, we fail
Those failures may some day assist
On higher seas to sail.

NEW YORK, November Wood
row Wilson will have the unprecedented
record Of 439 votes in the electoral coll
| lege and has good chance of adding the
three votes Of Wyoming to the total as it
will require the official count to decide
whether the state was carried by Taft or
Wilson.
| Col. Roosevelt will be second with
electoral votes, having carried Pennsyl-
wanna, Michigan, South Dakota, WASH
ington and Minnesota, or total of IA.
President Taft is third. He surely has
the states Of Idaho, Vermont and Utah,
and the chance OF getting Wyoming
when the official count is concluded
| These facts were made certain today
when the revision of the figures was
made.
Roosevelt lost Kansas and Illinois,
which be had steadily claimed since the
early reports we're received, but he
gained Minnesota, when the vote from
the cornfelds began to come in. The
farmers stood by Roosevelt and it was
certain today that the Oyster Bay states
man would receive the electoral votes
that Fred Lynch, Democratic National
Committeeman, so often assured Cover
nor Wilson were absolutely certain for
him.
The switch in Illinois and Kansas was
unex pected and in both instances due
entirely to the farming vote The agri-
cultural districts swung in behind Will
son SO effectively that the big Roosevelt
vote OF the cities was overcome.
Wilson did not receive maj ority vote,
but his plurality will be in excess of
2, 100000 and is record breaking. The
exact figures will not be available for
several days.
