NATIONAL CHAIRMAN
Has Probably Been Defeated in Race
for Reelection
CLARKE HAS BEATEN HIM
For United States Senator from the
State of Arkansas
THAT WAS BELIEF AT MIDNIGHT
At Clarkes Headquarters While Senator
Jones Had Retired
HE LOST SOME OF THE BIG COUNTIES
The Estimate Is that Clarke Will Have
Ninety Votes on Joint Ballot Re
turns Coining Slowly
Little Rock Ark March o Advices
from various parts of the State show that
a heavy vote was polled today in the demo
cratic primaries for United States sena
tor governor congressmen State and lo
cal officers The contest between Sena
tor Jsmes K Tone and exGovernor James
P Clarke for United States senator was
uppermost and served to draw out the
full voting strength The polls closed
at 7 oclock this evening and the tedious
work of counting the long ballots began
A Urge number of the small precincts will
report bv midnight T riends of both sena
torial candidates at their respective head
quarters tonight are awaiting the returns
Little Rock Ark March so At tx
Governor Clarkes headquarters tonight It
is claimed that he will have eightysix
members of the legislature or nineteen
mote than necessary on joint ballot for
United States senator This claim is
disputed at thr headquarters of Senator
Tones The earlv returns are favorable
to Clarke and his friends claim a victory
for him with apparent confidence Re
turns are coming in slowlr but all indi
cations are that tiovernor Pavis runs
ahead of Clark and that Davis defeats
Colonel K W Rector for governor by a
good sued majority
At 10 oclock tonight It w s stated at
Senator Tones headquarters that tho re
turns were still too meager to justify
claims on either side At the Clarke head
quarters no ehnnge was made in the es
timate of right si Clarke otes 011 joint
ballot in the legislature
At ia oclock tonight the Clarke mana
gers increased their estimate to ninety
votes on joint ballot advices indicating
thrit such large countirs as Washington
and Iientou wete carried hy him Ne
vada county the homo of Congressman
McRea was carried bj Clarke by 400
majority It appears likely that Clarke
has carried fully fifty out of seventyfivo
counties Senator Jones lus retired for
thr night without giving out any state
ment or making any concession of de
feat
Little Rock and Pulaski county give
Clarke a large majority
an Hnren thr home of National
World Pair Commissioner P D Scott
was carried by Jones by 400 majority
There are a number of counties which
can not br heard from tonight
At 1 oclock this Sunday morning the
returns indicate a landslide for exGover
nor Clarke and that he will have between
eighty and nlnty of the ija memberH of
thr legislature 011 joint ballot Governor
Clarke went to bed early satisfied that
he had won and Senator Jones retiied at
11 oclock without expressing his views
on the result
Goernnr Jefferson Davis has won the
nomination for a artotid term over Colo
nel li W Rector by a large majority
carrying probably sixty counties The con
tests ovci State officers other thin gover
nor were almost lost sight of owing to the
interest manifested in the senatorial and
gubernatorial races In the congressional
districts Hon Joe T Robinson of Lonoke
county has apparently carried the Hot
Springs district over Hon Sam M Tay
lor In the Seventh district Hon It
Minor Wallace of Union county leads and
is probably nominated In the First dis
trict Judge F G Taylor of Paragould
leads and In the Third district J C
Floyds leads against Congressman Hugh
A Dinsmore There were no contests In
the Fourth and Fifth districts Congress
man S Brundige is probably renominated

CHARGES AGAINST MARSHAL GRANT
They Are Said to Bo of a Character So
Serious that He May Bo
Removed
SrrciAt to Tub Post
Washington March io The Post cor
re jiondent is in a position to state posi
tively that in addition to deciding that
Waller Burns of Houston shall be judge
of thr new Southern judicial district tfis
president has arrived at the conclusion
that the proper mini for the marshalshin
of the district i < nionel Andrew Jack
son Houston of Beaumont
It is not known just when the appoint
ments wfll be announced but there is no
doubt that the president has made up his
mind so far as the two men named aro
concerned and that thr chances are de
cidedly against his changing it Colonel
Houston who formerly lived in North
Texas is a son of General Sam Houston
and the president is esidently of the opin
ion that thr son of such father could
not be aught but faithful to a public 1
trust Colonel Houstons principal op I
pmirnt was Charles G Brewster of La j
redoWhile
While it is not known that the matter
of the appointment of an attorney for
the Eastern district to fill the vacancy
which will be caused by the removal of
Mr Mclemore to the Southern district
under the provisions of the Ball bill has
not been definitely derided on as yet
there are sery strong reasons for be
lieving that J W Owenby of Paris will
be the lucky man
The Post correspondent learns tonlgbt
from a source the reliability of which
can not be doubted that what are known
in political parlance as charges havo
been filed against Marshal John Grant of
the Httslctn district of Texas and that
they have hern considered by the prcsi
dent during the past day or two It is
said that from a civil service standpoint
these chaiges are of a ery serious na
ture So serious in fact that the presi
dent may see fit to remove Dr Grant and
put some one else 111 his place In fact
the president nude 1 statement this morn
ing which indicated very conclusively that
he would do komething of this sort It is
idl believed that anything was known of
the tnatter when Mr Grant was hero I
week or so ago He has always oqcp J
pied a high place in the esteem of the
president
