The Forrest City times., 1914-06-12

state central committee an inyestiza- ton of an exhaustive nature was made Of this matter, and tke committee by the decisive vote of 22 to determined that this part of the allegations was wholly unsustained by the proof. and accordingly dismissed the complaint and declared the contestee the nomi nee of the Democratic party.
 Third-The contestant has present ed no substantial evidence in addition to that heard by the State Central Committee in support of his allega- ton that the returns from Poinsett county had been fraudulently changed after the declaration of the result by the county convention. He asks for an enlargement of time as well as an enlargement of the scope of the inves- tigation so that there may be a gen eral examination of the conditions sur | rounding the primary election in Poin- sett county on March 25, 1914. This is a departure from the issue pre- sented in his petition, and in the opin- lon Of this committed his application IS not supported by a sufficient show ing to warrant the belief that any such investigation, if ordered, would justify a change in the result as de- clared by the State Central Commit | tee.
 "Fourth-The committee is of the opinion that the hearing and decision 1 by the State Central Committee was bread and fair, and that the substan- tial rights of the contestants were duly considered, and that he has fail ed to sustain the grounds of contest alleged by him. The committee there fore recommends the adoption of the resolution accompanying this report, | approving and affirming the decision and finding of the state central com mittee and declaring the contestee | Clarke to be the nominee of the Demo cratic party for the office of United 1 States Senator.
 "Fifth-It is recommended that the 1 convention shall immediately proceed to the consideration of the accompany ing resolution or any substitute of fered therefor upon the presentation Of this report, and that consideration shall continue to be privileged and | special question, entitled to continu- ous consideration until finally dis i posed of. And the chairman is direct ed to disregard all dlatory motions ! two nfh dc q | ter has been submitted to the final vote of the convention" How the Counties Voted The counties voting solidly for l Clarke were: Arkansas, Baxter, Ben ton, Boone, Bradley, Chicot, Clark, Cleburne, Conway, Craighead.
