light vortex. This they do because
there are few people in the state
races, without stopping to consider
The county and district races. The

heavy vote, because OF the prosecr-
ting attorney contest, and the sane

A. b. Grace. In Southeast Arkan-
sas there is decidely warm race

BY tbeiime the next legislature
assemblies the State Capitol will
have the appearance of a completed
building, but il still will not be, for
The Capitol Commission will have
T. ask for an appropriation to put
the finishing touches TO the sub-basc-
ment and for decorating some Of
the walls. An appropriation sufil-
cient to purchase the additional
blocks Of ground about the building
will also be asked, and Gov. G w.
Hays will recommend It iu his mes
sage. As the state will be better

completed in the manner that It
should be. The question is as to

left rs it is, for period of two, four
or SIX years. and all OF the ground
between the Capitol and Union sta
