TREASURY WILL BE BROKE"
Expected That After September There
 Will Be no Money.

Western Newspaper Union News serv'cs
 Little Rock.-ln spite of the fact that over half of the counties of the state have made their settlement with the state treasurer the general rev enue is getting low It is expect ed that the treasury will be broke by September. About 90 counties have yet to make their settlement with the state but this is not expected to re lieve the situation to any great extent
 Salaries in every department of the state government, including the exec1- tive, legislative and judiciary, are paid from the general revenue fund, and many state institutions are dependent upon this fund for support. The fund supplies the power for the wheels of government.
 After September what?
 State officials confess they do not know the answer Last year the fund held out until November or Decem- Der. and then officials knew the li- censed saloons of the state would pay SSO,000 into the general revenue fund immediately after the first of the year This year no money will be forthcom ing from saloons by reason of prohibit ton laws passed by the last legisla. ture.

 The combined strength developed by Republicans, Bull Moose and Social icts was l5,093 votes, on the face of in. complete returns.
 With the exception of a few counties Mir, Hays carried the state Mr. Mur- Thy carried White county. the home of Mir. Rrundidgc which he may lose. MT Myers carried Searcy, Carroll and Boone counties.
 Vote Was Light,
 1t is estimated that less than 90 per cent of the normal vote in the state was boiled. although the weather was Fair. As an example of the general apathy, the vote in Pulaski county, with l7 tow ships missing, was 3,114. The missing precincts probably polled 500 votes. In the general election Sep. tember 9, 1912. the total vote cast in the county fer governor was 7.374.
 In many precincts throughout the state no election was held and the vote by counties. as reported from all sections of the state. ranged from 90 to 50 Der cent normal,
 From early indications it was appar. ent that Judge Hays carried Phillips county cy 2 good majority.
 Myers Carries Argenta.
 One Of the surprising features of ;he election ia Pulaski county was the majority given to the Republican can. didate in Argenta, Mir. Myers carried that city by majority of r. over Judge Hays
 The ProgrossYcs were disaNpointal over the outcome of the Pulaski county vote because they expected to poll enough votes in Little Rock 10 carry the county.
