COUNTY RETURNS
ARE UNCHANGED
Parham's Majority is Now
GA and Hays Retains Hold
On the County.
A POLITICAL CHANGE
Hayis Nixon May Run for County
Judge and Will Alexander
for Circuit Judge.

There was practically no change in
the first returns from the prosecut-
, ing attorneys race yesterday. The
Lincoln county vote was given COM
plete and showed that II. X. Toney,
who was defeated by District Attorney
r. G. Parham by an overwhelming
majority in Saturdays primary cleo
ton had carried that county by
majority of 66 votes. All of the pre-
cincts have reported in that county
In Desha county it was stated at
Arkansas City yesterday that no cleo
ton had been held in Richland and
Clayton townships, at HALEY, at Wal
nut Lake or in Jefferson or Silver
Lake townships. AS on Saturday,
only four precincts, Franklin town.
ship or Arkansas City, McGehee, Red
Fork and Dumas, were listed. giving
Parham a majority of "a votes. Mis-
sissippi township, where about twenty
votes were cast. is said to held an
election, but the ballot box has no.
been brought in.
In jefferson county Talladega town.
ship yesterday reported six votes for
Parham and none for Toney and six
votes for Brundidge and none for
Hays. Pastoral township has not re-
ported. if an election was held there.
and this is the only precinct that has
not reported it's vote. There are not
over fifteen votes cast in that pre-
cinct, if that many.
The vote received by Judge Hays In
Jefferson county is now shown to be
$50, while his opponent, Colonel Brun-
didge, received 1893, majority for
Hays of 81. Toneys vote in the en-
tire district with one township in
Desha and jefferson counties to hear
from, is now Col and Parham's 1926,
a majority in the district of GA.
The result of Saturdays primary
election, in which T. Havis Nixon
scored victory, which he says was
a vindicaton of himself and an en-
dorsement of his acts while prosecut-
ing ATTORNEY. has brought forth many
political rumors and from now on 1t
is expected that the office seekers
will get together and begn to shape
themselves for the next county pri-
mary.
1T was stated by one of Mr.. Nixons
friends yesterday that he intended to
make the race for county and probate
Judge of jefferson county. He IS SAID
to have told friends that he desired
that office in order to have the books
of the county officials audited. An
other strong rumor, that seems to
l have had some foundation, was the
statement to the effect that Havis
Nixon was preparing to make the race
for Congress from the Sixth DISTRICT
and that he would oppose the present
CONGRESS, s. M. Taylor, when the lat
ter offers for reelection in 1914.
II is a we'll known fact that CITY
Attorney w. B. Alexander is likely to
get into the race for circuit judge IN
opposition to- Judge A. B. Grace, the
latter part of this year or early next
wear. In fact, Mr.. Alexander has
been discussing his candidacy with IN
innate friends. There are many other
rumors afloat relative to- other oili-
GERS and prospective OFFICERS
