BROUCH LEADING BY|
 MORE THAN l8,OO0| JUDGE SMITH IS SECOND
RHOTON AHEAD OF ARBUCKLE 1000 VOTES-ONLY STATE
 OFFICE IN DOUBT.

Little Rock, April 1-Delayed re- turns received today from Wednes- days primary increased Dr. c. H. Brough's plurality to 18,000. His to- tai vote early this morning had reach ed 52,249. Judge Smiths vote was 39,347 and Hodges 37,s46. The re- maining precincts yet to hear from will likely increase Brough's plural ity.
 Arbuckle was leading Rhoton by only 433 votes. This is the only state office in doubt.
 Congressman Sam M. Taylor of Pine Bluff defeated T. Havis Nixon and L. E. Sawyer, his two opponents. He remained in Washington during the entire campaign, while his oppon- ents made a thorough canvass of ev- cry county in the district. County committees will meet Monday throughout the state to canvass the vote and report at once to the Demo- cratic State Central Committee. The official vote on every state office, na-
 
 delegates to the Democratic national convention will be announced. It is conceded that Wallace Davis defeated Vincent Miles for national commit teeman.
 Earle w. Hodges last night conced- ed his defeat, as also did Dr. Dickin- son and V. A. Beeson, defeated can didates for state auditor and secre- tary of state, respectively.
 Mr. Hodges said:
 Prom election returns received at our headquarters, it would seem that I did not receive enough votes to win and 1 am ready to concede my defeat My friends fought a good fight Oul campaign was clean and honorable and I am very thankful for the vote received. All of us are ready anc anxious to make the nominees ma jority in the general election as large as possible, As in the past, 1 shal be glad to make speeches for the tick ct next fall at my own expense. De feat is new thing for me, but there is no bitterness in the cup which has been placed to my lips. My friends believe we would have won with only two candidates in the race, and Judge Smiths vote then would have been ir my column almost solidly.
 However, this is problematical and I never cry over spilled milk. To my loyal friends in every county extend my heartfelt thanks for their many courtesies, and 1 am at their services forever. Whether in victory or in defeat, I shall always be found working for Arkansas and her peo- ple."
 Hodges last night addressed the following letter to Brough: "Dr. c. H. Brough, City:
 My Dear Sir-The returns of Wednesdays election seem to assure you of the Democratic nomination for governor. I congratulate you most heartily, and I shall always be found working for the success of the ticket, of your administration as well, and for the best interests of Arkansas and her people.
 Yours very truly,
 Earle w. Hodges"

Cloud Upon Title Exists
Through Mortgage to State

Licoln, July 2O.-(SpeciaD-In
making a sale of some city lots at the
northeast corner of Eighteenth and o
streets, cloud on the title has been
discovered because Of mortgage held
blythe state several years ago and
never released.
1t appears that 1870 the state made
loan of $4,000 on this property in
connection with 100 acres of land
which is now used by the Lincoln
hospital as farm. The owerns of
the lad were unable to keep up the
interest and so the state took over
the farm as paymet, but failed to re-
lease the mortgage on the lots after
securing possession of the land which
was placed to the school fund credit.

(From Staff Correspondent)
Lincoln, July 20.-(Special. y
Frank P. Corrick, chairman of the
progressive state committee, filed
with Secretary OF State Pool this
morning the endorsement made by
the committee last week of repub-
lican candidates and the same was
accepted by the secretary Of state and
placed on file.
The endorsements filed were as
follows:
John L. Kennedy, Dundee, United States
senator.
Abraham L. Sutton. Omaha, governor.
Addison Walt, Lincoln, secretary Of state
George w. Marsh. University Place. state
auditor.
W. II. Reynolds. chadron. state treasurer
designations from the progressive
ticket have been received by the sec
rotary of state as follows:
Walter o. Henry for the United States
senate.
James F. Hanson for governor.
VIII s. Jay for secretary Of state.
VIII c. Crooks for treasurer.
1t had been intimated that a pro-
test would be filed by someone
against entering the endorsements
upon the ballot and that State Treas
urer George Hall, who was prevent
ed from receiving the endorsement of
the progressive party by a protest
filed by Mr.. Corrick before the, pri-
mary, might be the one to do so, but
Mr.. Hall looked over the filings and
said there would be no protest from
him.
He called attention to the fact,
however, that Mr.. Corrick had pro-
tested his name upon the progressive
ticket for the reason that the pro-
gressive party and the democratic
party were directly in opposition to
each other, but Hall insisted that
they were not, as they both were try
ing. to beat the republican party and
SO were working in harmony at that
time. However, Mr.. Corrick ex-
planned that the grounds set out by
Mr.. Hall then had been removed
and readjusted, and that now the
progressive party and the republican
party were working in harmony to
defeat the democratic party.

Water Would Evapofate
If Farmers Didn't Use Il


Lincoln, July 20.-(Special.) 1.-The
Kearney Power company is demand
ing a hearing before the State Board
of Irrigation, in which they propose
to make demand for water needed
by them to carry on the business of
their plant, claiming that because the
water is held back for irrigation pur-
poses they are compelled to spend
SIS day for coal to run the plant,
Notwithstanding they have a prior
right to the water. .. <
1t is estimated by State Engineer
Johnson that because the farmers
have access to the water, it is saw
ing them from 100000 to 100000 in
crops and that because the power
company has used the water when
the farmers needed it in the last few
years, the farmers have lost over
$2,000,000. He believes if the farmers
higher up on the Platte didn't use the
water, it would evaporate naturally
before it reached the Kearney plant,
and would be loss not only to the
Kearney people, but a total loss all
around.
