MAYOR ". D. COLE WINS DENOMINATION VOTE HEAVIEST ON RECORD City Primary Election Attracts Many Women Noters-Races for Alder
 men are Close.
The Vote for Mayor.
Coles majority, 16S.

Mayor w. D. Cole was renominated defeating Judge w. H. Duncan, 45z to 2o4, in the city Democratic primary election yesterday. The vote was de cldedly the heaviest ever cast in a municipal election here, great interest meing manifested by the friends of both candidates for mayor. More votes by women were cast than were polled at any previous election.
 As compared with the election of two years ago when the same men were also candidates for mayor, both made gains, but the bulk of the ad- dltlonal votes cast went to Mayor Cole, who, according to election off cials, received large majority of the votes of the women.
 The races for aldermen of the First and Second wards were also spiritedI C. C. Denney and Leo H. Grafton were nominated in the First ward, but Charles s. Deal ran only seven votes behind Mr. Grafton and Mir. Denney led by only three. In the Sec ond ward William R. James was re- nominated and Theodore Smith was nominated for aldermen, each receiv- ing PA votes, Ernest Douglass was defeated for renomination, receiving 82 votes. Clyde Donnell received 97 votes and L. E. Dupre, whose name was not printed on the ballot, received 33 votes. In the Third ward J. | McClurkin was renominated and J, II. Bailey was nominated for alder men without opposition.
 George Shaw, Jr., for recorder and Tom Davis for treasurer were unop- posed and received practically the entire vote.
 A new City Democratic Central Committee was elected, as follows: |: First ward, C. Durham, Wiley Mosley and O. o. Florence; Second ward, B. L. Harton, H. B. Ingram and J. M, Bolls; Third ward, V. D. Hill. A. J. Thompson and J. A. Pence.
 A total of 762 votes were boiled, the largest number on record. In the four preceding Democratic city pri- maries at Conway the total vote has been remarkably uniform. In 1914 it was 465, in 1916 466, in 1918 479 and in 1920 472.

DEBATERS READY
 AT STATE NORMAL
REDDIES FIRST ON LIST
Team Members Assigned for This and Three Others-Negative Side
 in All Contests.

MemDefS nave been assigned the four teams, the issues are joined and the debaters await the word go for the forensic season at the State Nor maj. First on the list is Henderson Brown, which will send it's team here March 27 for the avowed purpose of evening in part for the two victories already won by the local school. Ar kansas College, Louisiana Normal of Natchitoches and West Tennessee Normal of Memphis possess the three other scalps which the Teach CTS will attempt to add to their col lection.
 State Normal is now working on a plan which will bring the debaters against teams from institutions of similar rank in other states. West Tennessee Normal is fixture on its schedule and Louisiana Normal has been added. Next year, it is hoped to resume debating relations with Okla homa Normal at Durant and to make a contract with Missouri Normal at Cape Girardeau, which would es- tablish a four-state school and elimi- nate schools of other classes from the NormaP's itinerary.
 Ouachita, from which State Nor mai has won decisions. is following out the same plan and will hereafter meet teams only from Baptist institu tions of the same grade. This policy explains the absence If the Arkadel- phia Baptists from Normals book ings.
 For the four 1922 debates, State Normal has the negative side in each instance.
 Henderson Brown will send it's team here on March 27 to debate the ques- tion: Resolved, That the president of the United States should be elect ed by the direct popular vote of the people" Miss Idelle Sutton of Hunts vile, the second young woman at the Normal to win place on it's debat- ing teams, and Henry Jenski of Vi lonia will represented the local school
 The Philippine question will be the issue for the debate April 3 with Ar kansas College at Bentonville: Resolved, That the Philippines should be granted independence in ten years" Horace Davis of Searcy and Russell Henderson of Murfreesboro are the speakers who will represent State Normal.
 c. V Robinette of Benton and Blake Smith of Harrison, who last year out did Ouachita's debaters, will be the Normal's team in the debate at Match itoches against Louisiana Normal, April "A. The question is: Resolved That the federal bureau of education should be made a department and it's secretary be given place in the presidents cabinet"
 West Tennessee Normal has been a comparatively easy foe for the locals, the 1920 and 1921 debaters both hay. ing gone to the Arkansas men. Earl Thompson of Searcy and c. R. Snow den of Success will be Arkansas Nor malls orators this year, the contest to be staged in Conway on May 8. The formal question is Resolved, That the United States should own and control the coal mines of the country"

without bail on charge of criminally
receiving stolen goods. The three men
who sold the liquor are locked UP in

find that all the other robberies that
have occurred will be traced to the
