While this was about in line with expectations it was taken as further substantiation of estimates of crop of less than 100000 bales, and served to hold the market steady after 30-point advance New York and New Orleans, however, failed to respond fully to the big advance over the election holiday at Liverpool which rose to record high figures.

LATE RETURNS INDICATE
 REELECTION FOR WILSON
FAULKNER FOR NO.
 F.; AGAINST NO.2 ROAD TAX CARRIES 2TO 1
County Casts Heaviest Vote in His. tory-Eight Townships Vote to
 Form Stock Law.

Complete and practically official re- turns from IS of the 25 precincts in Faulkner county show the adoption of Amendment No. 12 and Act No. 1 ;, and the defeat of Act No by over whelming majorities, with the heav- lest vote ever cast in a general cleo tion in the history of the county. The Is precincts reporting show a total of more than 2,500 votes and the remaining eight townships are expected to bring the total vote well over 5000.
 The vote for Amendment No. 12 is in the ratio of almost to and that against No. ? is even stronger. Amendment No. II has slight lead while Amendment No. 13 is running slightly behind. Act No. received an enormous majority
 The road tax, contrary to the ex- pectations of many who predicted it's defeat, carried in Faulkner county by a vote of practically ? to 1, the vote in IS precincts being 1929 for to 732 against.
 The Democratic ticket received al most three-fourths of the total vote and the majority in the county will probably reach 1,50O, despite the fact that an unusually large number of negroes voted.
 She returns received by the Log Cabin Democrat up to 4 o'clock this afternoon, give the following totals:
 Amendments: For No. 12 1,657, against 636; for No. 13 1,009, against 1,153; for No IA 1,187, against 1,00S. Acts: For No. 1,59S, against 577; for No. ? 61S, against 1,724.

 The entire west side of the county was thrown into a stock law district as a result of yesterdays election. In the first district with two out of eight townships missing, the vote IS PA for to 555 against. Walker, one of the missing townships, is reported to have given 1 majority for the law, and California, the other missing township, is believed to be strong for it, assuring it's adoption.
 The vote in other district, compris- ing Newton, Mathews, Enola and Harve townships, is as yet uncertain. Newton and Enola returns have not been received, and Harve and Math- ews give a total of 82 for to l39 against the establishment of stock law district of the four townships.

tates all Of his letters at home every
night. All morning he spends In the
depar tments prosecuting the numerous
claims for which every representative
is the unwilling advocate. This leaves
him from noon. when the House con-
venes, until evening for attendance to
the business of the nation. He works
about sixteen hours day. There are
few others who can do 1t, and still
fewer who will. So Congress is liter
ally becoming a gathering Of preoccu-
pied agents, who line up well enough
on party votes, but by force of circum-
stance give the country less and less of
the independent thought upon national
questions which is the life of legisla-
ton.
The Broboff electrical voting machine
may work a considerable modification
of this tendency by compelling the rep
reSentative to be close at hand if he Is
