ELECTION IN THE
STATE OFARKANSAS
Governor Davis Elected For a
Third Terra.
PLURALITY TWENTY THOUSAND.
Returns Show That Preeent Governor
Davis Has Again Been Elected as
Chief Executive of the State of
Arkansas.
Little Rock. Ark., Sept. 6. —Sufficient
returns from the state election held
yesterday have been received to indi
cate the election of Governor Davis
to a third term by a plurality of 20,-
000. Several other state officers were
voted for hut all the other Democratic
candidates had an open field, Davis
alone having opposition. Governor
Davis will run something like IG,O<OO
votes behind his ticket two years ago,
when the total vote was 120,000 in
round numbers. This year there has
been an Increase of 10,000 votes, and
If Governor Davis’ plurality is not over
20,000, his loss in the aggregate will
ho 30,000 vc >e.s. Myers, the Repub
lican candidate will probably increase
his vote over two years ago not less
than ten thousand.
Several counties have given Repub
lican majorities which heretofore have
gone Democratic, hut in the main the
county Di mocratlc tickets have been
elected.
The Prohllbtion vote will possibly
fall short of two years ago when Kim
bail for governor on that ticket re
ceived less than 5,000 votes. Two con
stitutional amendments were voted up
on and the chances are that both
were defeated. One of the amend
ments increased the number'' of su
preme court Judges and the other gave
etties and towns the right to issue
bonds for public improvements.
VERMONT ELECTIONS.
Senators, Congressmen and State Offi
cars To Be Elected.
White River Junction, Vt., Sept. G.—
Fuir weather conditions, considered
most necessary to bring out the large
vote desired by all parties, prevailed
throu tiK>ST ff* esV
fact that the elects^ 1 tneasurje
u fl Jj*tto be hold in an eastern* lll YnTs'
Tyoar gave it an unusual significance as
the disclosure of the prospective Dem
ocratic and Republican strength, in a
way which would be viewed as pro
phetic of the situation throughout the
country. The election today was to
choose state officers, two congress
men, members of the state senate and
house of representatives and various
County offices.
Charles J. Roll, of Walden, Is the
Republican nominee for governor, and
his Democratic opponent is Eli H.
Porter, of Wilmington. The prohibition
candidate is Homer J. Comina, of Berk,
shire, and the Socialist nominee is
Clarence Morse, of Springfield.
The re-election of the present Re
publican congressmen, Kittridge Has
kins, of Brattleboro, and David J.
Foster, of Burlington, was felt to be
assured.
The legislature to be elected today'
will vote for United States senator at
the coming session. There is felt
to be no question that both branches
will be Republican and that Senator
Redfleld Proctor will be chosen for an
other term.

i WAT3ON &PEAK 3 TO WORKERS.
Pop u I lit Candidate for President at
Kansas City.
Kansas City. Mo., Sept. G. —Thomas
E. Watson. populist candidate for
president of the United States, was
the principal speaker at a Labor Day
picnic herej He said in part:
“The workmen, whose toil produces
the vast increase in the nation's wealth
asks why it is that the men who pr>
duce the most of this wealth, should,
by subtle contrivances of law and of
business, enjoy the most of It. In
other words, the man who makes it all
thinks that he ought to have a fair
share of that which he makes.
"The laborer has the right to com
plain that too much of the weight of
taxation falls upon him, the poorer
man. when the greater weight of the
burden should be borne by the richer
man, who is more able to bear it,
and who enjoys to a greater extent
the benefits of government.
“Labor has a just cause to com
plain that the hours of work are too
long.
“The laborer has just cause of com
plaint because children who are too
young for the confinement and toil,
are kept at work in unhealthy and ex
hausting employment.
"Labor has a just cause to complain
that the hours of work are too long.
“Labor has a right to demand that
the life of a workman should
more sacred than the machine he works
with, and, therefore, every possible
safety appliance should be adopted
for his benefit. It should be glad to
see the introduction into this country
of the German system of old age pen
sions.
“If the earth is only a battlfield in
which the Creator intended that the
strong battalion should always tram
ple down the weak, then the present
system is all right; that is just what
occurs .but, if the earth wa.s intend
ed by our common father as the home
of his children, and it was the divine
purpose that each of these children
should find food, raiment and shelter
In return for labor, then our present
system needs reform.”
BEGINNING OF THE END.
Many Stockyard Strikers Apply for
Their Old Jobs.
Chicago, Erpt. G.—The beginning of
the end of the stock yards strike cams
•t&riy- todaf when, according to the
packers, mere than 1,000 strikers ap
plied for their old jobs and were tak
en back.
Many began to seek work a few
hours before the time set for a meet
ing of the allied trades conference,
which, representing 22 trades involved
in the strike, was, as seemed to be the
general impression, to consider the
question of submitting to the unions
whether the strike should be* called oil
or not. There- was talk among the
strikers at the yards about “terms of
settlement.” Officials of th*> packing
companies, however, declared that no
terms of settlement had been reached,
that strikers applying: for t&eir old
places would be reinstated without
discrimination, but no agreement would
be made with the union.
Meetings of all' local unions In
volved had been called for today to
heair the result of the deliberations of
the allied trades board But many
of the men who have been idle for
eight weeks, feared to await their
action. So It was that a thousand
applied for work. Expecting aES would
be ordered by their unions to go back
tomorrow they went today t» make
sure of their plbces.
