The special election, called to fill the vacancy in the Ofaiee of governor, is called without respect to party, and the fact that any, one party became in- volved in a controversy over it's nomi- nee could not operate to postpone the election. Unless the State Central Committee shenad be able to settle it, there would be possibility of the Bull Moose nominee, Col. George w. Murphy, to be nominated July 1, be- ing elected governor of Arkansas. These contingencies may, of course, be considered remote, but they have been pointed out as the almost certain re- suit of contest for the Democratic nomination.

RESULT HINGES ON PHILLIPS COUNTY BRUNDIDGE IS GAINING. OFFICIAL COUNT MAY BE RE- CURED AND CONTEST IS
 POSSIBLE.
Special to the Log Cabin Democrat

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat
 Little Rock, June 24, 2 D. m.-Phil- lips county, which is still unreported, will probably decide whether Judge Hays or MT. Brundidge has won the nomination for governor of Arkansas. The vote in this county is being held back, no returns whatever having been given out since the election, It IS reported that the race for circuit judge between Cypert of White coun-, ty and Jackson of Phillips is responsi- ble for the returns being withheld.
 Brundidge is still slowly but surely cutting down the lead of Judge Hays. At 2 o'clock this afternoon the unoffi- cial returns showed the following to- tals:
 Brundidge, 31,671.
 Hays, 32,209.
 Hays majority, 538.
 Many. of the townships unreportedl held no election, so that the returns now at hand are almost complete. If Phillips county comes in with large majority for Brundidge, it will put the White county man in the lead for the first time since the returns began coming in.

Little Rock, June 24.-With about half of the normal vote cast in the state, and scores of precincts holding no election at all, the race for gover- nor is still unsettled, with both sides claiming it.
 Judge Hays friends claim that the Camden jurist has won by majority of 5000 to 5000, although unofficial figures made by the local newspapers have been cutting down his lead from nearly 2,OOO to begin with to about 300 Monday night, with the prospect of swinging over to the Brundidge column by Tuesday. This condition is due to the fact that the strong Hays counties had all come in early, while several of the strong Brundidge coun- ties were delayed. Izard, with a re- ported Brundidge majority of 800, and Phillips, which was known to have gone for Brundidge by 1,5O0 or more, could not be secured definitely Union county, however, which at first gave Hays a majority of about 1,5OO, came in Monday afternoon with re- duction of over 300. All the reports during the day have been gradually whiting down the Hays lead.
 "I am sure that my friends in the northern and eastern parts of the state have done their duty by me-" de- clared Col. Brundidge," and I expect Ito win by large-sized majority"
 "The people so far as the returns have been received have seen fit to elect me, and l bow to their will" |said Judge Hays.
 The distinguishing features of the election have been the small vote and the slow returns, considering that the ticket is the shortest ever voted at a |state election, in most of the counties there being only two names on it. In many counties there were numerous townships that held no election, and it is reported that in one township in a western county the judges delivered the box at the county seat at noon, reporting that there was no use in keeping the election open all day, for every one in the township-21 in all had voted.
 As the result is deferred from day to day, the talk of a possible contest becomes stronger. In the event the majority for either candidate is not more than thousand, it is generally believed that there will be a contest. And if there should be contest an interesting condition is liable to arise which some have not taken into con- sideration.

THE PRISONERS CIPHER.
A PuzzIins Code That Was Discovered
Only by Accident.

A PuzzIins Code That Was Discovered
Only by Accident.
Prisoners in jails are generally very
ingenious, so much so, in fact, that 1t
has been frequently remarked that II
their skill and ingenuity were turned
to honest purposes they would thrive
much better Ihan as criminals.
One branch of ingenuity is displayed
In the plans they make to communi-
cate with one another. They construct
cipher codes, but the officials generally
manage to translate them.
Recently in n western jail the guards
encountered a cipher that proved too
hard for them, and 1t was a good while
before the puzzling messages were
made out, and then the key was acct
dentally discovered. A man In for
forgery, as smart rogue as ever was
behind the bars, invented the puzzle.
The writing was on long, narrow
strips of paper, on the edge of which
were letters and parts of letters that
apparently had no connection and from
which no words could be formed.
One day a deputy who was passing
the cell or prisoner saw MIN passing
a long strip of paper around an octagon
lead pencil. He took this paper away,
and on it were the mysterious scrawls
that had worried the keepers.
But the deputy got an idea from this
and, going back 10 the office, he wrap
ped the strip around an octagon shaped
lead pencil and after several trials ad
justed it so that the parts of letters
fitted together and made a sentence
though the writing was very fine.
The writer had adopted the simple
ingenious plan of covering the lead
pencil with the paper and had ther
written along one Of the fiat sides. Or
unrolling 1t the writing was as mys
tical as a cryptogram, but when put
around the pencil, as it was originally
1t could be easily understood.-Dallat
