COMMITTEE’S REPORT
To The Woodruff County Dem
ocratic Central Committee
Augusta, Ark.
Gentlemen: . . j
We your committee ap
pointed to look into the alleged i
irregularities in the race Tor
the nomination for sheriff, beg
leave to report as followis:
We went through every box
if the county and selected four
different kinds of ballots as
follows:
First: Those on voting list
and signed. Second: Those
not on voting list. Third:
Those which apparently should
oe on list but on their face
i -bowed some doubt, such as
initial etc. Fourth: Those
unsigned, whether on- list or
not.
We then rechecked those not
un the list and those about
vhich there was some doubt.
We did not take into consider
ation in any way the unsigned
ballots, nor do we know how
[they voted.
Some which were not on the
L1?t we found parties had poll
wx receipts and were other
wise qualified voters, so we
counted their ballots. We did
|"°t count the ballots of young
■on who had attained their
I 'Uajoritty since the time for
.paying poll taxes for the reason
nat the ballots were not ac
companied by the affidavit as
required by law.
I With the consent of Mr.
person, the third candidate
L'!® not count his vote at
c 1 as it would have increased
l°Ur work considerably. We
- . hold closely to town
[ lines as we realized that
Mite a few voters moved from
l^vnship to township but on
L6 as^ c^ecking, we counted
ballots where we
I.Lu . find a white elector on
te in any part of the
who had not voted and
\ °Se nanie was similar to the
Jre on the ballot in question,
in' ?!.rec°nciled discrepancies
| lnitials, nicknames and-mar
ried women’s names wherever
possible.
We found
every box in
after purging
irregularities in
the county and
_ „ the ballots as
above described we found the
vote for sheriff to be
follows:

Your committee has en
deavored to arrive at the true
vote cast by what we con
sidered the qualified electors
of the county under what we
consider a fair construction^ of
the law.
i We have found that the
strict letter of the law was not
followed in any box.
We believe that the above
vote is fair to all parties and we
have had constantly in mind
the harmony and interest of the
| county, without regard to the
| result as is herein shown.
Respectfully submitted,

She Can Truthfully Say
Hay fever, asthma and
bronchial coughs yield to the
soothing, healing properties
of Foley’s, Honey and Tar
Compound as quickly and
surely as do ordinary coughs,
colds and croup. Mrs. Ge
neva Robinson, 88 N. Swan
St.., Albany, N. Y., writes:
“I can truthfully say Foley’s
Honey and Tar is the best
cough medicine I ever used.”

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
The Ford Sedan, with electric self-starting
and lighting system and demountable rims with
-inch tires front and rear, for every day in
the year has no equal as a family car. Just as
popular on the farm as it is in the city. In fact,
it fits the family demands in every vocation of
life. Large, roomy seats, finely upholstered, plate
glass windows make it an open car in pleasant
weather, while in rainy and inclement weather
it becomes a closed car, dust-proof and rain
proof. It is not only comfortable* but really
cozy, and above all, economical in operation
and maintenance, and has all the Ford merits
of strength and durability.
