The many friends of Police officer
Mon Sawyer will be glad to learn that
he is a candidate for the office of con-
stable of Precinct No. 3 at the election
to be held, next November. His cndi-
dacy is,strictly subject to the action of
the democratic party.
The name of Mon Sawyer as a peaci
officer of this county has been hear
for years. He served several terms
during Captain Lucy's administration
and was looked upon as one of the
most faithful officers on the force.
When the police commission was in-
stalled he was among the first to be ap-
pointed. and was re-elected by the
board of aldermen at the last election.
A number of years ago Mr Sawyer
was a candidate for the same office h»
(but the policy of «be state shoul be
to protect I be people, and laws shoui
be pssed to protect home capital aud

“Texas Banker As a Citizen and Fi-
nancier His Opportunity and Duty_to
Texas," was responded to by President
Hilliard of the amnociation. Mr. Hil-
nard took Mr. Colquitt to task for say-
ing that rest rietions should be placed
on foreign capital. • Mr. Hiliard took
occasion to say that he thought the
bringing of all these anti-trust suits
were injurious to the state, and tha
now aspires to. His opponent was
Sherif Jim Davis. Their nominations
were subject to the action of the demo-
cratic convention. (Um the first ballot
Davis lead Sawyer ten votes. The next
ballot gave the latter one more vote.
A number of other ballots were taken,
but all resulted the same. It seemed
to be a deadloek and Sawyer withdrew
in Davis" favor. His friends say when
they were about to murder him for
withdrawing, he explained matters by
saying: "I was afraid they were going
to run a black horse over us and if I
couldn't get It I wanted Jim to have
it."
Mon Sawyer was born and raised in
this county and he counts’ his friends

It was moved by the chairman that
all bids from the cities be opened and
submitted to the commission Col. A.
P. Wooldridge opposed this and made a
motion that the bids should not be
opened until a future date, when the
commission had more time to spend on
them, or that each bid from each city
should be opened and considered while
.the commission was in ‘the said eity.
The motion to postpone\the opening of
the bids was seconded »and carried.
Austin's bid was read by Col, A. P.
Wooldridge.
At the request of the Austin com-
mittee Mr C. H. Miller presented Aus-
tin's advantages as the place for the
Industrial Institute. Mr. Miller said in
substance:
Many years ago the Texas fathers
conceived the idea of establishing a
university of the first class for suc-
ceeding generations of Texas girls and
youths, and the people located the main
branch at Austin.
Last year the legislature of Texs
formed the plan of establishing an in-
dustrial institute and college for the
education of the girls of Texas in the
arts and sciences, and entrusted the
responsibility of locating it to your
honorable commission. We believe this
dimeult duty can be most safely dis-
charged by heeding the voice of the
majority of our people. The wisdom ot
their choice in tocating the university
has been vindicated and no one believes
they made a mistake.
Yesterday was another busy day in
the county court and a number of
cases were disposed of. Several ideas
of guilty were entered They are as
follows: ___
Houg. charged with violating the
Munday law, entered a plea of guilty
and his punishment was fixed at a fine
of $25 and costs. This is the first plea
of guilty to such a charge this term of
court. Jack Henderson, theft under
aso, two cases, fine of KO and thirty
days in Jail in one and a fine of $25 and
one day imprisonment in the. other
