JEFFERSON IN
HAYS COLUMN
County, With Two Small
Precincts Out, Give Hays
43 Majority.
VOTES WE'RE sWOPPED
Was Thought That Jefferson County
Would Give Hays Big
Majority.
VOTES WERE SWOPPED

Judge George W. Hays of Ouachita
county, and Colonel Stephen Brun-
didge Of White county. candidates for
governor, ran neck and neck in Jef-
ferson county yesterday. but Judge
Hays nosed him out and will get the
county in his column by probably
thirty or thirty-five votes. Two very
small precincts are yet to be heard
from-Talladega and Pastoria-and il
is expected that Judge Hays and the
Colonel will break even in them. At
present Judge Hays is leading Col
onel Brundidge by only 43 votes.
Judge Hays carried every ward in
Pine Bluff, except the Second, and
this went to Brundidge by only one
vote, the result in that precinct being
Hays 154 and Brundidge 1873.
In the First Ward. where the boys
from the Cotton Belt shops voted,
Judge Hays received 175 to Brun-
didge's "a. In the Third ward Hays
defeated his opponent by only six
votes, receiving 227. Brundidge got
POI. In the Fourth ward Hays vote
was 70 and Brundidge's 81, a majority
for Hays in that precinct of only II
votes.
The Vaugine township box, which
contained the ballots of the voters liv-
ing just outside the city limits. Judge
Hays received "A and his opponent 46.
Judge Hays carried seven country
precincts. including the Altheimer
and Redfield boxes, and Brundidge re-
ceived majorities in twelve.
The fight made for Colonel Brun-
didge in the last week by Sheriff
Brewster and other friends of the
White county man was what prevent
ed the large majority in Jefferson that
had been predicted would be recorded
for Hays. While Judge Hays friends
were active all the time, they were
unable to cope with the situation ow-
ing to the many deals that are said
to have been made by individual votes,
many of whom are said to have swop-
ped Hays votes for those to be cast in
the prosecuting attorneys race. Much
money was also spent here in the in
terest of Brundidge.
The unofficial returns of the county
and city show the following figures:

TO the voters of the Eleventh Judicial
District:
From the best information | can
receive, | have carried every precinct
in the country in Jefferson county,
and every ward in the city of Pine
Bluff and my majority in Jefferson
county is about eight hundred votes.
My opponent seems to be in the lead
in Lincoln county by about eight
votes, with one small precinct to hear
from in that county. l am leading
in Desha with twenty-eight votes,
with one small township to hear from
there, so that my majority in all three
of the counties OF this district will
be approximately eight hundred votes.
No man could appreciate more than
do the very flattering vote that has
been given me and the confidence that
has been shown in me, and l can
only say that i shall try as hard as
