WHITE DEFEATED. •
Little Rock.—
With 133,238 votes accounted for in
the gubernatorial race, Brough, with
55,459 votes, has a lead of 15,744 over
Smith, who has a vote of 39,715.
Hodges is third with 38,064. Hodges
conceded his defeat, and adressed
the following letter to Brough:
“Dr. C. H. Brough,
“City:
“My Dear Sir—The returns of
Wednesday’s election seem to assure
you of the Democratic nomination for
governor. I congratulate you most
heartily, and I shall always be found
working for the success of the ticket,
of your administration as well, and for
the best interests of Arkansas and
her people.
“Yours verly truly,
“Earle W. Hodges.”
Despite a driving rain Dr. C. H.
Brough of Fayetteville, gubernatorial
nominee, was given a rousing recep
tion on his homecoming from Little
Rock, where he remained until nomi
nation was assured.
Fully 1,000 citizens met Dr. and
i Mrs. Brough at the Frisco station and
formed a parade, which proceeded
to the courthouse, where Dr. Brough
delivered a speech. At least 500 more
people joined the crowd at the court
house, swelling the total number
present at the speaking to 1,500, with
all available space taken.
Senator B. H. Greathouse, who had
just been nominated for a second
term in the Senate and who put most
of the little time he was on the stump
in advocating Brough’s candidacy,
made a short but eloquent address of
welcome. Senator Greathouse was
frequently applauded throughout his
address.
Among other things he pointed out
that Dr. Brough is the first man from
Washington county to be governor
since the election of Archibald Yell in,
1840. He held up Gov. Yell as a model
for a man in that high office.
John D. Arbuckle of Fort Smith
made a large gain in his lead over
L^wis Rhoton of Little Rock in the
race for the Democratic nomination
for attorney general. Incomplete re
turns received from 74 of the 75 coun
ties gave Arbuckle 49,162, and Rho
ton 47,286. Among the counties which
sent in complete or practically com
plete returns were Lawrence, Grant,
Carroll and Drew. Additional returns
were received from many other coun
ties. Both candidates claim the nomi
nation.
Returns received made no apprecia
ble change in the race for governor,
The, vole stood: Brough, 55,459;
Smith, 39,715; Hodges, 38,064, out oi
the tota. vote of 133,238 accounted tor.
' Incomplete returns from counties in
the Northwest railroad commissioner
district maue a gain for Walter G.
Brasher. E. L. McHaney of
| Rock still was in second place. Oscar
| Winn is third candidate, nas not con
! ceded defeat, and it is believed the
, official count will be necessary to he
I cide the race.
Official returns from Scott and La^
rence counties were received, bu
most county central committees w
, not meet to canvass the vote until t 0
Democratic countjr conventions w
be held in all counties.

the feature of the returns root
Returns received showed Ai
only 433 in the lead. Counties v * g
reported, however, gave A-1 u ^
large majorities, and lie is 1,876 m
