HTTLE'S PLURALITY IS 63,714
Worthington Falls 14,059 Behind
the Vote Given fleyers
Two Years Ago
Little Rock, Sept. 19.—Com
plete official returns from the re
cent state election have been re
ceived by the secretary of state
and show that Judge Little’s ma
jority is even greater than was
expected.
By the final count Congressman
Little received 105,553 votes,
which is the highest vote ever cast
for a candidate for governor in
Arkansas, and his plurality of 63,
714 over the Republican candidate,
Worthington, is the largest ever
given in the state except in the
presidential election of 1896.
Republican demorialization in
Arkansas is evidenced by only 41,
83‘* votes for Worthington, who,
though conceded to be a good man
personally, and personally popu
lar, fell 14,059 votes behind My
ers, who was the Republican can
didate for governor in 11*0-4-.
•fudge Little’s plurality over
Worthington is 63,714 and his ma
jority over all opposition is 57,927.
Adams, the Prohibitionist candi
date received 3,301 votes and Ho
gan, tin* Socialist, 4,104. The
Populists had no candidate for
governor. The total vote cast for
governor was 152,767.
A BRYAN IDEA
In .speaking of the Sullivan ca<e
at Chicago, Mr. Bryan said: “1
hold that no man who is officially
connected with a corporation that
is seeking privileges ought to act
a' a member of a political organi
zation, because he cannot repre
sent his corporation and the peo
ple at the same time. He cannot
serve the public while lie is seek
ing to promote the financial inter
ests of the corporation with which
he is connected.’’ This applies
with equal force to corporation
dominated newspapers, which,
wdiile pretending to be Democrat
ic, are in politics only to serve the
special interests they represent.—

MEAD CUT OFF
Xettleton, Sept. 19.—L. S. Cop-1
page was instantly killed here yes
terday on the Iron Mountain!
tracks, his head being severed, j
Mr. Coppage was at work under a
car on the side track, when the j
car was struck by a string of cars j
that were being switched, and he :
was killed without a moment’s
warning. No one witnessed the j
accident, and nothing was known I
of it until the headless body was
discovered. Mr. Cop page was 30
years old, and is survived by his
widow and two children.
WASTE OF AMMUNITION
A cursory glance at the St.
Louis Globe Democrat’s editorial
columns Tuesday reveals the men
tion of Mr. Bryan’s name twenty ■
times. This continued recogni-!
tion of a man who has no earthly !
chance of election to the presiden- j
cy, according to the G. D.’s peri-1
odical protestations, is a sheer i
waste of ammunition.—Arkansas

A RICH FIND
A story comes from Newport of
a marvelous find of treasure in the
bottom of White river, near that
place. George Sumpter, a young
man living near that place, diving
for a dime which his companions
had lost in the water near the bank
I on Friday, came to the surface
wit'n several silver dollars. As
tonished at this result, he made re
peated dives into the water, re
turning each time with a handful
i of coin, until he had collected
’quite a sum. lie had found, in
fact, a sack full of coin. The ex
planation offered is that, fourteen
| years ago, robbers looted a New
port. bank, and are supposed to
have lost this sack of money while
making their escape across the
river.
