 This was especially strong on the Kirby side of the hall when, lin the course of his address, he challenged Senator Clarke to run the race over again in thlr- ty days, in the whole state, and not make a speech, or to run 1t over again in Poinsett county and abide by the result.
 While the addresses of the two candidates were eloquent and of | ten impassioned, they were free from personalities, and there were few personal clashes.
 Senator Clarke said if the peo- pie of the St. Francis Levee dis trict had known Judge Kirby's record on levee matters better, he would not have gotten as many votes as he did, Senator Clarke would have been beaten by 10000 majority if it had not been for his control of federal patronage" declared Judge Kir- l by, and Senator Clarke retort- ed, "If it had not been for the federal patronage l would have won by 50,000."
 The greater part of the day was spent in a discussion of a resolution defining the purpose and policy of the committee. The Kirby forces insisted upon the fullest investigation of fraud in Poinsett county, but the resolution as finally adopted de- clares that the committee shall confine it's investigations to charges of alterations of returns and disregard as irregularities impracticable of contest, allega- tions concerning the failure of any voter to pay poll tax as re quired by law.
