Eugene Williams, manager of Ilona

ties are as yet unheard from.”
Little Rock, March 28.—Returns re
ceived up to a late hour this, Thurs
day morning, point to a landslide for
Hon. Joe T. Robinson in his race for
governor. The indications favor his
nomination over Governor George W.
Donaghey by not less than 40,000 ma
jority and if the trend of early re
turns continues throughout the count
ing his majority will approach 50,000
on a total vote of approximately 140,
000.
Early returns indicate that Robin
eon will poll from 65 to 70 per cent
of the total vote, however, later re
turns may change the early trend. It

candidate's lead to below 40.000.
Senator Davis is saving a close race
for the United States senate. Hon.
Stephen Brundidge has materially re
duced his lead in the senator’s old
strongholds, and has carried many of
them on the face of early returns.
Up to 3 o’clock this morning the sena
tor had a majority of only about 2,000
votes in incomplete returns from 40
counties. It was asserted at Brun
didge headquarters that many of the
latter’s strongest counties were yet
to be heard from and the Searcy man
was claiming his nomination by a
good, safe majority. Likewise, Sena
tor Davis.
Mr. Brundidge was leading in early
returns from White county (his
home) which has heretofore been a
Miller County.

John H. Hinemon, aanager of Rob
inson’s campaign said at 1 o’clock:
“We do not concede a single county
to Donaghey, although he may carry
his home county, Fualkner, by a small
majority. I hardly think there were
more than 140,000 votes cast in to
day’s election and possibly not over
130,000. Mr. Robinson will poll not
less than 90,000 votes out of 130,000.
