DAVENPORT AND
CAzORT fAVORITfS
LEGISLATIVE CONTESTS
AIH Close, However, and Both Races
May be Carried to Floors of
Senate and House.

Little Rock, Jan. 5.-As the open
ing of the Legislature approaches,
the prospects for the settlement of
the presidency and the speakership
are not particularly encouraging. 1t
is likely that both contests will go
to floor, and there may be season
of protracted ballotng.
1t is said that no two of the five
candidates for president of the SEN
ate have enough votes to insure cleo
tion, and that there are ten un-
pledged members who are probably
waiting to see how the others are lin
ing up, so that they can espouse the
cause of the strongest candidate
The five candidates are Senators
Davenport, Simms, Jones, Ruff and
Garrett, and no signs of weakness
are being exhibited by any of them.
Unless combinations should be form
ed by some of them by Saturday
night, the fight will go to the floor
of the senate. The general impress
sion appears to be that it is the
Held against senator Davenport.
The only change in the speakership
contest since the retirement of Nc
Ferrin in the interest of Cazort, was
the withdrawal of Osborne of Sebas-
tian. There are still nine candidates
in the field, and all of them are work
ing, and expressing the most optimis-
tic outlook. They are Representa-
tives Brooks, Cazort, Davis, Doyle,
Gentry, johnson, Norfeet and Riggs.
1t is predicted that this contest will
also go to the floor of the house At
the present time Lee Cazort of John
sor is generally admitted to have
the best of the situation, but other
candidates are confident they will
be able to overcome his lead.

HOLD CONFERENCE
ON CAPITOL CLAIM

Little Rock, Jan, 5.-The arbitra
tors in the case of Caldwell & Drake
are holding consultations, the case
having been submitted about two
weeks ago on the completion of the
testimony and the arguments. Cald-
we'll & Drake, the original state cap
itol contractors, are claiming 1922
900 due them from the state, while
the capitol commission is claiming
an amount in excess of that sum as
an Offset.
The act creating the arbitration
commission provides that the award
shall be filed with the secretary of
state, and that copies of it be fur
nished the governor, the president
of the senate and the speaker of the
house. The nature of the findings
will not be made public until the re-
port is filed.

$500 IS RAILROAD
FARE Of 7 FAMILIES

A half thousand dollars was re-
quired today to purchase tickets for
two Faulkner county families from
Conway to Phoenix, Ariz. Each fam
lily numbers 10-husband and wife
and eight children. All of the chill
dren were over the age of five years,
and therefore were required to pay
fare, the 20 tickets costing a total
of over $500. The families were
those of two preachers living near
Vilonia, Rev R. G. Reeding and Rev.
N E. Grisham. They are going to

fN0LA Girl, z,
f(OPFS, WfDS HERE

Escaping the vigilant watch of her
father, who is said to have strongly
opposed her marriage, Miss Matte
Smith, a 22-year- r-old girl living near
Enola, fled to Conway with her sweet
heart, j. N. Matthews, this morn
ing, and the couple were married at
the home of Ed Shock, West Main
street and Locust avenue, at noon
today. County Judge f. L. Smith
pronounced the ceremony.
The bride is the youngest of three
daughters of Dave Smith, a well
known farmer of Enola township, and
is the first of the three to wed. Mr.
Smith, it is stated, has always re-
fused consent to any of his daugh-
ters to marry Telling her father
that she was going to Enola to mail
a letter this morning, Mrs. Matthews
met her husband-to-be according to
a prearranged plan and they drove
to Conway. The clothing of the
couple was badly spattered with mud
1--WE drove pretty fast" Mr.. Matth-
ews admitted, because we didn't
want the old gentleman to overtake
US, and we made the trip here in two
hours and a half" Mr.. and Mrs
Matthews left early this afternoon
on their return to Enola.

FROM PROF. r. E. WOMACK.

| had the privilege of hearing DR..
Wyche during the summer session of
1916 at George Peabody College for
Teachers, where he proved to be
very popular attraction. At the
evening hour he often told stories to
out-of-door audiences composed of
men, women and little children. He
interested old and young alike, es-
pecially with his dialect stories. I
regard him as a prince of story tel
lers. Every student in Conway should
hear him Monday night.-d1t

ing Prisoner.

Prescott, Jan. 4.-Judge George
K. Haynie in circuit court yesterday
issued an attachment for former
County Judge Eugene Rhoden of
Conway county to appear and show
cause why he should not be fined

of habeas corpus was issued by
Judge Rhoden, and Mays was re-
leased from the custody of the
sheriff.
