 It seems safe guess, however, that Clarke will be elected with many votes to spare, if the feeling among the people and the press in this part of the state are to be taken as an indication of the situation.
 The race for Congressman presents probably the greatest field for specula- tion of any of the contests. The feel ing has been general all through the campaign that the race is between Fuller and Tillman, and here in Carroll county, it has been and is still believed by many political authorities that MT. Fuller is in the lead, and will win, but in other portions of the district a diff ferent view of the situation is taken. Tillman has friends in various portions of the district who predict him an easy winner, while Judge Bratton is being brought to the front on the home stretch with some rather plausible fig ures. He is immensely popular in the seast end of the district and will roll up a strong vote, as far as his personal acquaintance extends. Then, there are those who believe Mr Harvey has a good showing to win. While the other candidates have been pow wowing over fhe district in joint canvass, MT. Harvey has been in the sticks mak- ing speeches at the country school houses with good effect and has deyel- oped some strength all through the district, there is no question about that So far as Hudson and Stuckey are concerned, they are not considered in the race by those who attempt to prognosti ticate on the situation.
 The race for State Senator is con fined to three Madison county Demo- crats and comparatively little interest is being manifested for this office To- cally.
 There are quite few contests for county office, but none have reached the point of special interest. In sever- al instances, it would seem that a guess at the nominee would as well be based upon toss up as anything else. This is particularly true of races for Sheriff and Assessor.

Fayetteville, Ark, March 8, 1914:- Washington and Benton county voters are steadily turning to Bratton. Ten days ago Bratton's vote in Washington and Benton counties were estimated at 600 in both. It is now estimated at 600 in Washington county alone, and that he stands good chance to get plurality in Benton county. Ten days ago his friends were counting his strength at 1900 in the four western counties. Today his strength is esti- mated at close to 150O in these two counties.
 It is conservatively estimated now that he has 2200 votes in the four west ern counties and that if his vote in creases in Carroll and Madison counties any, he may get 2750 in the west end.
 With 2200 votes in the west end and 4000 in the east end he will have 6200. The total vote in this district will not exceed Is, 300. Allow 5000 for Harvey, Stuckey and Hudson and you have 1900 to divide between Fuller and Till man. 5000 votes may be enough to elect, and if Bratton's friends in the eastern counties remain firm, no one need to fear Fuller and Tillman.
 People here are tired of hearing candidates charge each other with suspicious conduct, and favor Bratton because he is not charged with, and does not charge any one else, because he is not trying to win on the demerts of any one else. Besides, they know he can be easily elected in November. The factional fight against Fuller and Tillman here will make the election of either of them more difficult.
 The people were ready to take up a Bratton boom because very favorable opinion of Bratton was formed from good words spoken by Judge Hum- phries, Judge Vaughn, Hugh s. Dns- more, Judge McDaniels, Rev. Lon Bryant, B. J. Wade, Judge Hannah, E. Foust and many others.
 The opposition wall get big surprise in this territory. If Bratton's friends in the east end of the district remain true to him and pass the good word along, the west end will give him plenty to elect him. Wm. Gilmore.

 Fayetteville, Ark, March 9, 1914. To The Pubic:-We the undersigned citizens of Washington county, Arkan- sas, are acquainted with the political situation here. The county will vote about 5000 in the coming primary. Judge Tillman is a resident of this county, and while he has many warm friends, he has many bitter enemies. We do not think he will get majority of the votes in this county. Judge Bratton has good following in this county and clean record. The charges and countercharges of graft and dis honesty that have been indulged in by other candidates are nowhere made against Judge Bratton. He will get votes of those who are not willing to elect one candidate on the demerits of another. He will get good heavy vote in Washington county and we are satisfied he will surprise the opposi- tion
 The Washington county vote can elect Judge Bratton and will do so if the Eastern end of the district will re- main true to him. Very truly yours,

General Investment Company, OF which
Venner is president, restraining the mer-
ger Of the systems scheduled for De-
cember q Nenner charges violation OF
the antitrust laws and alleges the mer-
ger will deplete the railroad treasures.

Judge Stevens to quash the service OF
the injunction papers on the New York
Central
in his application for injunction Ven
