DOWN IN ARKANSAS

The election down In Arkansas last
Tuesday went as usual Democratic by
some 10000 majority. There was no real
political contest in Arkansas There is
APPARENTLY but one party down there and
1t Is said that many OF the old timers
think there is but one party. having
never heard of any other than the Fem
ocratc since the war.
The chief issue was over prohibition
and as usual the vets decided that they
did not want to quit yet and by a big
majority decided that Arkansas should
stay in the wet column.
They have a long ballot down there aa
we have In most of the states and II
requires as long time to count the vote.
For this reason the returns are slow
about getting into headquarters. It Is
claimed that some of the rural district,
are represented In the cities NUT on q
or twice year. Therefore II may be
some time before the correct reports can
he secured.
They voted on n recall amendment and
the result of II is still In doubt The
grandfather clause" amendment. which
Is passed. would disqualify about three
fourths OF the colored vote. was defeated
by a big majority. It Is claimed that
prohibition lost by n majority of some
25. 900.

EASILY EXPLAINED.

1t appears that there was a large
Democratic vote in the state and
smaller Republican vote. Many are the
comments on the reason why the Re-
publicans did not take more interest In
the primaries.
This Is readily understood when It Is
remembered that the Democrats had
four and five persons running for each
office while the Republicans had hut
two and in some instances had but ono
up for office.
Had the Republicans had four and
five no for each office and the Demo-
Gratis had but one or two for each OF.
flee there would have been the same
apathy on the part OF the Democrats.
The greater the number OF candidates
for office the greater will be the vote.
OF course, the thoughtful persons can
understand that the assembly in nam
Ing the candidates took away much In
terest that otherwise would have been
manifested In the primary. For all pur-
poses the candidates had been placed
in nomination by the assembly and many
thought that 1t made no difference to
harr- or'r,f -prfhary law and the whole
interest will be centered In the prl-
maries and the vote will be large in
both parties II there are contests. VI
there are no contests there need. he no

wAsHINGToN LETTER.

Secretary Wilson Of the United
States department of Agriculture mas
decided to establish an experiment sta
tion on the Manti national forest, near
Ephraim, Utah. for the study of graz
ing and water protection problems In
fact bids for the construction OF the
necessary buildings have been received
and 1t is expected to have the station
in working order before winter Already
the gathering of observations on the
relations of erosion and run off to the
forest covers have begun.
The Manti national forest was chosen
as the site for this experiment station
because It offers exceptionally good op-
portunities for investigating problems
OF practical value In Connection with reg
ulated grazing. Ephraim and other towns
In Its nelghborhood have suffered Sc
yerely from floods following violent RAIN
storms and In the mountains. ana VI mas
already been proved conclusively that
the overgrazed condition of areas on
which the natural vegetative cover has
been seriously altered Is responsible Tor
the formation of torrents and the rapid
discharge of dcbris-laden flnbhvnter'
In n recent destructive storm the water
ran clear from a part OF the watershed
which was within the national forest,
and in good condition as rcsnht OF vel
regulated grazing, while from other area
II swept sand down. One of the objects
of the study viii be to learn how the
ma ximum OF grazing use of natural for-
est land can be obtained without injury
to forest reproduction and stream flow.
The national forests provide range dur
ing a part or all of the year for con-
siderable part of the stock produced In
the western states. Approximately one
and one-half million head Of cattle and
horses and seven and one-ha't milton
head of sheep and goats occupy the for
est lands each year. These figures dc
not include nearly 100000 calves and over
| 4. O0o. .0O0 lambs and kids for which per
| mIts are not required.
The experts of the department believe
| that when the ranges which were de
a'-- s,,.,.--- wears of improper use
productivity 1t will be possible to pro
vide feed for much larger number o.
stock without injury to forest growths oi
watersheds. and both the stockgrower,
and the consumer of meat products will
thus be benefited. Consequently ev-
cry effort is being made to determine
practicable means Of regeneratlng de-
pIeted ranges All of the studies which
are about to he initiated have this point
In view

DEMOCRATS FAIL IN MAINE.

two years ago they elected everything

There did not seem 10 be any disis'

win and reduce the Democratic ma
jorty to the point of failure for that
party.
They have not yet yielded their claim
on the national ticket In November. The

claimed by Republicans that Roose., Il
will draw as heavily from the Demo
crnti., mart as he will from the Rnpiib-

ooncede this claim. The Bull Moose per
pie claim that they will draw heavy
from the Democratic side and that they
have n chance to win the state. The
Republicans no doubt will have tho ad-
vantage lnasmuch as the Pine Tree stnte
is logically for tariff that will rro-

many of the states decided to have the
national election on n different day than
that for the choosing OF the state Of

state officers should be elected on a diff

to center the election of all candidates

which the regular national election Is
held and few will not elect their Judges
on the same date the other state Off
GERS are elected.
There seems to be growing sentiment
to take the Judges of our courts out
of politics. Some would provide the re.
call OF judges or their decisions as
means OF making judges nonpartisan.
but others would change the time of the
election OF judges to n different date to
that on which other candidates are ele,,-

far as Colorado.
The Democrats have claimed that

Must have changed their minds recently.
Many OF the Democratic leaders have
be,n insisting that the old fashioned way
of handling campaign Is not In hor-
ness. Then again the most popular
candidate the party has had ". reccni
years is w. ]. Bryan who set q new
pace for the Democrats In the way OF
campaigning. Bryan believes that the
best way to campaign Is for the candi-
date to have the ability to go into the
field and tell the people what he ha.
to say rather than to publish the same
and depend upon that alone.
The system OF speech making Is per-
haps the better for the fact that It gets
crowds together which arouses enthu-
siasm. The personality of men have
much to do with successful campaigns
Tint has always been true and will al
ways be true Parties realize that theiI
standard bearers should be men of very
strong convictions with oratorical abil'

sHAFRorH pEFEATs ADAMS

Perhaps the most interesting contest
in the whole state was that between
Governor Shafroth and former Governor
Adams for the senate. Adams has felt
that he should have that place and his
many friends were very anxious to see
him get it,
The Speer faction prevented Adams
from being sent to the senate by the
last legislature. Speer decided to drop
out of the contest an dapparently most
of the Speer crowd decided to support
Adams In this campaign. but Shafroth
decided to make the race and this
brought on a spirited contest between
the two prominent Democrats.
The reports indicate that Shafroth has
big lead over Adams. Adams got a
big vote in Pueblo county but the Shaf-
roth Denver vote put him far in tho
lead. Northern Colorado went strong
for the governor.
Adams friends claim that many Re-
publicans went into the Democratic pri-
maries and supported Shafroth, who has
always received a portion of the Repub-
lican vote.
No doubt It was Adams alliance with
Speer at the state convention that
caused his defeat at the primaries He
was accused by many of the progress
sfve Democrats of playing for the ma
chine vote. This alenated many of his
former friends.
