RELIABLE PRESCRIPTION

Swamp Root is a strengthening medi.

Swamp Root has stood the test of years.
1t is sold by all druggists on its merit and

Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start

Little Rock, Ark
The people have defeated the pro-
posed new constitution in an cleo
ton remarkable for the apathy
shown. In the cities, where friends
of the constitution reasonably ex-
pected the strongest vote, the vote
did not come out. In the rural dis
tricts the sentiment was against 1t
and the rural districts decided the
matter.
In & large number of townships no
election was held, owing to lack OF
interest, bad weather and influenza
outbreaks.
Eastern Arkansas voted in favor
of the new constitution, but this vote
was outweighed by that OF southern
Arkansas and the vote agains got
big boost in Benton county, where
the 20 precincts reporting give SGT
for the constitution and 1,501 against.
Washington county will give big
majority for the constitution.
