ragemet that such persons should be permitted to vote as a class. Besides, knowingly accepting a vote from an unauthorized person is a misconduct of the judges which, under Rule 37 of this committee, must in the first in- stance have been presented for cor rection to the County Central Com mittee before 9 o'clock a. m on the Monday following the day on which the primary election was held. It appears that no such objection was made by the contestant, at any time. to the County Central Committee of Poinsett county.
 Votes Were Not Added
 4. In reference to the allegation that the judges of election caused the ballots cast by TO persons, who fail ed or refused to vote for either can didate for the Senate, to be so alter ed and changed as to show that they had voted for the eontestee, it is not deemed material, since, if the en- tire number were canceled it would not change the declared result of the election.
 In reference to the general allegation of contestants petition that in the various precincts of Poinsett county. the said parties who filed I1 Gel IL certificate have added to the list of hose who voted in said precincts for James F. Clarke two hundred or more votes that were not polled in said election. the committee finds this to be self-contradietory al1eg- ation, since it appears that the pri- mary election at which the votes for United States senator were cast was also the election at which all of the state and county officers were voted for, and that the official tabulated re- turns of the election show that no such number of votes could have beef added to The votes actually cast for StudlOE NllHDul lH6St HdNIlS Dbtn add to the votes actually cast for the many other offices voted for at that election; and the committee fur ther finds that there is an entire ab senee Of complaint on the part of he local candidates most directly in- tarested in the irregularity of the election, and it further finds that in the county of Poinsett the senatorial election was not regarded as one of the principal contests at that pri- mary The committee therefore finds that there is no evidence that can be offered that such an allegation can be true. even if it were proper Iy alleged in the petition, it being a fact that no particular precinct is named in which any particular num- Der were so added to that said to have been received by the contes-

 "6. On the whole case the com mittee finds that it appears affirm atively and decisively that the aileg- ations of the contestants petition cannot be sustained, as the question principally involved is one which can best be shown by the inspection ot the records upon which it is founded, and the committee therefore finds against the contestant, and directs the dismissal of his petition; there fore,
 Be it resolved, That the petition Of contest heretofore filed by Will liam F. Kirby against James |. Clarke, be and the same is, here by dismissed, and the said James r. Clarke is hereby declared to have been nominated for the office of United States senator at the Demo cratic primary election held on the 25th day of March, 1914, and that the proper officers of this committee are hereby directed to certify his nomination as such candidate for said office of United States senator to the proper boards and officers of the state of Arkansas.
 Resolved further, That the per l sons, including the said James F. l Clarke, for the said office Of United States senator, shown to have been nominated at the said primary cleo tion on the said 25th day of March, 1914, by the report to this commit tee of the subcommittee heretofore appointed to compile and tabulate the returns of said election, whose report is now on file with this com mittee, be, and the same are here. by, respectively declared to be the nominees of the Democratic party for the offices for which they were re- spectively candidates.
 Resolved further, That, in the event an appeal to the state conyen- ton from this action of the commit tee shall be prosecuted, the seere- tary Of this committee shall lay the entire record hereof before the said state convention after conference concerning the preparation thereof with the respective parties 10 this proceeding.

 Senator Clarke's Address.
 Senator Clarke also spoke to the committee for few minutes deelar- ing he considered it unfortunate in tbe lives of two men in public life to be compelled to go through with an ordeal sucb as this contest. He thanked members of the committee and the attorneys in the case for the treatment accorded him, and declared that no one should harbor i'll will or grudge over the outcome now or after the meeting of the state con- vention
 He said that he had no objection to the record of the convention being scattered over the state, although he did not believe that the publication and expense of a printed book was Justified He said that he had only recently been engaged in the busi- ness of printing and circulating per iiodieals and literature and that he had found that 1t cost considerable money.

On account of the unusual interest manifested in the Clarke-Kirby Sen atorial contest which was before the State Committee last week, The News devotes considerable space this issue to the final proceedings of the committee. As will be seen from reading this report the claims of Judge Kirby that there was fraud in Poinsett County was clearly disproy- en- The committee had the poll books and tally sheets of Poinsett County brought before it, and no where could be found any evidences of fraud There seems to be no doubt but what the vote of Poinsett County was returned as cast, and as for padding the vote for Senator the returns show that county candidates received vote il excess of that cast for Senator That people were allowed to vote in this county who had not paid poll tax is not denied. but the same can be said of prob ably eyer. .eoHntyin. the state, and there is 10 reason to suspect that  Senator Clarke received more of these votes than dtd Judge Kirby. It was also shown that what was pur ported to be the official vote for Sen ater i'll Poinsett= County as first sent out was not taken from the tabulatz ed returns al all. It appears to have been q case of newspaper correspondent, who happened 10 be a Kirby supporter, jumping at eonelus- ions and sending out report with out verifying it's correctness. A significant fact brought out by this investigation discloses the fact that Judge Kirby and his followers were really the ones who were endeavor- ing to perpetrate fraud i'll Poin- sett County, to the extent even of sending the young son of the late Senator Davis to Memphis. Tenn, to see if he could n5t induce one Of the officials of the Poinsett County Committee to sign the fraudulent re turns During the proceedings of the investigation Judge Kirby made a grand stand play by proposing 10 Senator Clarke 10 run the race over, ether in Poinsett County or the en- tire state. He was perfectly safe in making such a proposition be- cause he knew it would not be ae eepted, and if it was accepted he had nothing to lose and everything to gain Senator Clarke has won the Senatorship in fair and honor able manner. and the state conyen- tion will sustain the action of the committee in certifying his nomina- ton

 A fair opportunity was given all members of this committee to exam inc these books and tally sheets and l the same courtesy was extended to all representatives of Judge Kirby" The committee also reported the total vote polled for the county as 2,oS0. while that polled for both sen- atorial candidates was 1,972
 Judge c. w. Smith offered the res olution to dismiss the Kirby petition of contest and to certify out the Dem oeratie nominees. Troy Pace was on his feet immediately in an effort to delay vote, but the Smith resolution was adopted
 The resolution follows:
 Tn the matter of the contest of W. IF. Kirby ys. James P Clarke.-This matter coming on before the State Central Committee when the con- |testant and contestee respectively ap- peared personally and by counsel, when the committee heard the testi- mony offered and the arguments, protests and objections of the part ies hereto, and now being fully ad. vised as to what action to take in the premises, the said committee hereby makes the following finding and declaration in relation thereto, namely:
 IL That the nature of the three several grounds stated by the con- testant i'll his petition for contest are each such that it can be =rightfully decided upon the testimony and rec ords now before this eommittee,. and that the allowance of further time to t1e contestant for the purpose of talk ing testimony is not necessary to a proper decision Of the issues rendered ln it's presentation; and such testi- mony if taken could only relate to collateral matters or develop irregu- larities that by possibility would not be within the jurisdiction of this committee to entertain at this time, Il or are they likely to affect the sub- stantial rights of the contestant; and therefore the request for a further allowance of time is denied, and the committee hereby proceeds to finally dispose of the contest in so far as it's authority to deal herewith con- cerned.
The Springdale news., 1914-04-24
Returns Not Exchanged.

Returns Not Exchanged.
 % The committee finds that the principal charge in the contestants petition is that which alleges that there was change made by l.. c. ! Going or some other unauthorized [ person. in the declaration of the of fical count in the senatorial cleo ton in Poinsett county, whereby the majority received by the eontestee in said county was improperly shown to be 1,071 instead of a majority of l671. The committee finds that there I was no change made in the official l lreturns tabulated and proclaimed by the County Central Committee of 1 Poinsett county and the county con- vention of said county, and that the majority thereby shown to have been received by the contestee of ,071
 was the mai that was ascertain ed and declared by said County Gen. tral Committee and said county con- vention, and that the same has been properly included in the tabulated and compiled returns filed with this eommittee by it's subcommittee. and now on file here.
 ss3 In relation to the allegations of contestants petition that certain Ipersons were permitted to vote who had not paid poll taxes for the fiscal Eyear 1912, the committee finds that lit is impracticable to investigate, to
 the extent of the demands of justice
 and uniformity, allegations of this
 character, since it is made to appear to the committee, and is common knowledge amounting to notoriety, lthat similar objections can be made 10 nearly every county in the state,
 and that 1t is therefore impracticable to enter upon a detailed investigation lof that matter in all localities where
 the objection might be rightfully pre- sented. It is therefore determined to consider this circumstance only as evidence of fraudulent and concerted movement on the part of the cleo tion officers to make a false return of the election. The committee finds, from the allegations of contes- tants petition. that the persons who
 were thus permitted to vote were in such relatively small numbers in the county as to satisfy the committee that there was no fraudulent prear-
