Little 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. 1t 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, Mr.
Robinson and j. H. 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, his 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-
eording to the official returns from
the entire state, as tabulated yester-
day by a 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 ABA. State Su-
perintendent George B. Cook led the
ticket among the unopposed candi-
dates with a vote of 136,600.
Columbia, Gross, Faulkner, Poin-
sett, st. Francis and Union were the
only counties carried by Governor
Donaghey, although he lost several
others by close margins.
