WingO a Winner.

Representative Otis T. Win ;go of the Fourth; Sam Taylor 'of the Sixth and w. s. Goodwin of the seventh are leading by lnajorities sufficiently large to secure. their nominations. Other Winners.
 Those who appear to have won nominations are as fol- lows:
 Secretary of State, Tom J. Ierral, of Little Rock.
 State Auditor, Hogan Oliver, of Hamburg.
 Agricultural Commissioner, John H. Page, Little Rock. Superintendent of Public h. struction, J. l.. Bond, Little Rock.
 Attorney General, John D. ! Arbuckle of Fort Smith, is lead- ing Lewis Rhoton of Little Rock by less than 100 votes out of nearly 10000 reported.
 Only a few counties have re- ported the vote for member of the democratic national com mittee, but these show Wallace Davis leading Vincent M. Miles.
 POinsett and Columbia coun- ties could not be reached at all. Mississippi county furnished a surprise by giving Brough a considerable majority, while Lonoke gave Smith a lead.
 The most phenomenal race being made is that of Herbert R. Wilson, one of the six candi- dates for railroad commissioner from the Southern district. From returns in, MT. Wilson is apt to get a majority of the vot- es cast in the district. Returns from the Northwest district in- dicate a close race.
 John H. Page is an easy vic tor over James R. Gardner for commissioner of agriculture. MT. Page gets two of every three votes cast in MT. Gardner's own county.

Az rule. speeches made at the club

House obtained the consent of the
club to make the speech public.
Some of the interesting expressions
In the address are the following:
"A man who seeks the presidency of
the United States for anything that il
will bring to him Is an audacious
fool"
America ought TO keep out of this
war at the sacrifice of everything ex-
cept her sense of humanity and Jus

ton or armament is thoroughly

K became known today on unques-
toned authority that the German re-
ply will pace the greatest stress on

that tner commanders are under or

The pledges referred to were made

commission appointed by the United
Mine Workers and operators IN the

miners those having to do with the

the point that IL TO be most bitterly
contested Is that of full recognition of
