censuses of the United States, taken
in 1890, 1900 and 1910, gave the popu-
lation Of the district of Maine as a
part OF Massachusetts. In 1920 it was
separated from Massachusetts made

 CONSIDERED CLOSE.

George w. Clark of Faulkner coun- ty, former prosecuting attorney of the Seventeenth judicial district, has ap- parently been nominated for circuit judge of the district, defeating Judge Thos. c. Trimble of Lonoke by plu- rality of about 200 to 300. Judge J. s. Thomas of Clarendon ran third.
 MT. Clark carried his home county and two others in which there Nas no candidate, Arkansas and Prairie, and ran second in the counties of both his opponents, Lonoke and Monroe. Both Clark and Trimble faced formidable opposition in their home counties, Clark winning Faulkner by less than 300, while Trimble carried Lonoke by less than 250 Judge Thomas carried Monroe by substantial majority.
 According to the best figures ob- tainable this afternoon, Clark received in the four counties besides Lonoke a plurality over Trimble of between 500 and 600. The figures in Lonoke, with six small townships missing, which it was stated would not change the ma jority, were given the Log Cabin Dem- ocrat this afternoon by R. F. Weir of the Lonoke Democrat, over the long, distance telephone. They are as fol- lows:
 Trimble, 77s; Clark, $40; Thomas, 93.
 MT. Clark telephoned from De ValPs Bluff today that he had carried Prairie county by about 100 and Ar kansas county by nearly 200 over Judge Trimble.
 It was reported this afternoon that Judge Trimble's friends at LOnoke conceded Clark's nomination.

C. D. WILSON'S FINE RECORD AS STUDENT

Prof. Claud D. Nelson, who was elected last Tuesday to take the place of Prof. T. s. Staples during the lat ter's leave of absence next year at Columbia University, has an interest ing history. MT. Nelson, a son of Rev. c. H. Nelson, finished the junior year at Hendrix College four years aao, won the Rhodes scholarship over strong competitors and spent three years at Oxford.

FIGHT PROBABLE ON. INSURANCE fRATES. NEW LAW IS UNPOPULAR REGENT INCREASES IN RATES
 CAUSES DEMAND FOR !. ITS REPEAL.

Little Rock, March 12.-From one end of the state to the other is to be heard the cry of those who have in
 surable property, concerning the rates which have been raised since the legislature of 1913 passed a new insurance bill. The insurance com panies claim the rates are now more in keeping with the risk, and the fight to prevent the repeal of the act in the legislature of 1915 promises to be warm. The insurance men are urg- ing the election of candidates who have volunteered from among the ranks of the insurance agents, who, if elected, are expected to be floor leaders. Guy E. Thompson, of Ma rianna, and William J. Little, of Hot Springs, are the two insurance men contesting for seats in the legisla- ture, and the indications are both will be elected by their constituents.
 , William J. Little is now member of the State Board of Charities, and k. c. Love-. of Moutain Home, an- other member of that body, is like wise a candidate for the legislature. This would indicate that the Board of Charities desires to make material in the state eleemosy- nary institutions, and think that the best way to get them is to have mem- bers get into the legislature. Judge Love is making the race against J. V. Thrasher, who last term voted against the franchise to dam White river at Cotter. Judge Love favors the concession to the power company.

 Clarke's claims have been reduced by his managers to about 5000, and he claims he has actual returns showing a lead of 5000.
 Kirby claims he has won the nomi- nation by at least 5000, and that Clarke's strength is already in, while later returns will increase Kirby's lead Figures received at the Kirby headquarters added to those printed in this mornings Gazette give Kirby a lead of 4,0OO. Kirby's friends con- tinue confident.
 Clarke carried Pulaski county by 649 and had claimed it by 1,500.
 Mccain is leading Coffman for state auditor on the face of the returns by a few hundred.
 Cook is leading Rogers for superin- tendent of public instruction by about l, 800.
 Earle w. Hodges for secretary of state has swept the entire state and will not lose more than two or three counties.

 Maude E. Dunaway, formerly of Faulkner county, has been nominated for prosecuting attorney of this dis trict, by majority that will be fully 500 and may reach 1000.
 Guy Fulk was renominated for cir cult judge over John w: Wade. w. c. Adamson and George F. Jones won the nominations for state senator, de- feating Earl Kidder, the third man in the race.
 The Gazette summarizes the situa- tion at 3 o'clock this morning as fol lows:
 It's a ding-dong hard fought battle between Clarke and Kirby with the results much in doubt at 5 o'clock this (Thursday) morning. It is anybody's race as yet. Totals covering incom- plete returns from 65 of the 75 coun- ties of the state give Clarke 32,210 Kirby 31,389. Olarke's majority, 821. Clarke carried Pulaski county by pos sibly 700 mjority. With six townships missing, his majority is 649 in this county.

 Kirby got big vote in southern Ar. kansas and held his own in many other sections of the state. Kirby is ex. pected to do we'll in the back town. ships and these will be late to report but is it believed that the majority of them will be in before tomorrow morn ing. At 5 o'clock this (Thursday) morning, the Gazette had accounted for 63, ,599 votes in the senatorial race. The vote in the Brundidge- Davis race of 1912 was 134,372.
 Both senatorial candidates claim victory. R. P. Allen, for Senator Clarke, made the following statement at 3 o'clock this morning.
 Few counties have made full re- ports, and those in which Senator Clarke received the heaviest majori- ties are yet to come, while the heavy vote of the opposition has already been registered. In the heavy polling pre- cincts over the state, counting was discontinued late in the night, and when the result from these boxes is ascertained, Senator Clarke will be found at least 10000 in the lead.
 "We have definite information that Senator Clarke has carried 37 coun- ties, and are assured that he has car ried quite few more, which places the result beyond doubt We are not making senseless claims, for we do not desire to deceive our friends nor ourselves. Senator Clarke has made a remarkably race in south Arkansas, and his opponent cannot hope to run so we'll in the other portions of the state
 Senator Clarke is sure of the nom- ination, and this will be conceded by the opposition before nightfall."
 Judge Kirby's statement follows:
 From late reliable reports it ap- pears that I have received the nomi- nation for United States senator by a majority of from 10000 to 15,O00 votes. The vote reported so far is from the cities and towns. The vote from the entire state will increase the majority. Where we have lost in some quarters we have gained in others, and some of our back counties are yet to report. I ask my friends throughout the state to carefully pro tect my interests until the result can be definitely ascertained.
 Earle Hodges, for secretary of state, has an overwhelming majority over Downing, his opponent. In this contest 35,415 votes have been ac- counted for this morning, and of these Hodges has received 25,698, giving him majority of 15,981.
 The race for auditor between Me Cain and Coffman is close one, and probably it will require the official count to decide it. This morning at 5 o'clock 34, ,1S6 votes had been account ed for in this race, and of these Me Cain received 17,453 and Coffman 16,683, giving Mccain majority of ITO.
 The race between Cook and Rogers for superintendent of public instruc- ton also is close. At 5 o'clock this morning 33,513 votes had been ac- counted for in this race. Of these Cook received 17,652 and Rogers 15,- 861. Cooks majority is 1,591.
