Gentlemen Your fetter to adju- ¬

of him and believe him to

Hhim and that our latch string hangs

J that w6 are very much astonished

We are in our judgment on the eve
R sof one of the greatest political battles
g lhat has ever been fought in the his
a tory of the state of Texas We all
fv hoped that the old men of the sixties
h might come out without a blemish
We believe that every old veteran
JsL ought to be left free to make up his
t mind on Oils the most important
ques-
T tion that ever came before the people
j of Texas From our viewpoint the
question is shall we stand for Bailey
ism the trusts and Illegal combina-
tions or shall we stand for the peo
ple As for us we stood for the peo
pie rights In the sixties and we still
stand for their rights to this good
day and we propose to fortify and
iold up the hands of our fearless and
efficient attorney general the Hon R-
V Davidson who is making the race
for reelection upon an official record
without a blemish and whose motto
Is to enforce Ihe law in high as well
as low places It seems to us that Mr
Bailey Is hard pressed for support
when he has to resort to the methods
of practical politics in dragging Co-
lWynne into this race with the expec-
tation of lining up the old soldiers
for a cause Balleyism which they
have never and cannot now endorse
We have noticed that ever since the
beginning of the campaign that Bailey
and his organs were using every ef
fort to catch our comrades In his
meshes trying to use those noble old
men whose days are few to further
his political ambition to hold his
power for graft and to turn down the
f reform movement which Is destined
to redeem this country from the
I Clutches of Wall street and Standard
f Oil Each and every comrade has the
Gogiven right to choose which mas
te r he will serve the trusts or the
people and we choose the people

Tent Meeting
The meeting in the tent on Howard
avenue is still going on with interest
Owing to the rain just at night scaring
the people off Mr Strode did not talk
on the subject announced but used
Rom 1212 as a basis of his remarks
He said Christians are under obli- ¬
gation by command of God as much
to rejoice in hope as to visit the sick
feed the poor etc
and when we
know we are living in harmony with
Gods word we can rejoice in hope
But no man has any scriptural right
to rejoice in hope who is not so liv-
¬
ing His tilk was principally along
the line of christian living and it was
an excellent one too He takes the
position that if any one reaps the re-
wards of Christianity he must be a
christian indeed as well as in word
Everybody is cordially Invited to
attend every service Come now and
let us reason together saith the Lord
