Fort Worth, June 10.—We, the
undersigned officers of Fort
Worth and Tarrant county, Tex-
as, desire to say that we have
heard that a report has been cir-
culated in soone portions of the
state of Texas that the crowd
which attended the anti-prohibi-
tion rally art, Fort Worth on Mop-
day, June 5, 1911, was a disorder
ly one, and we wish to say that
we were in Fort Worth on that
date, closely observed the con-
duct of the crowd, and are pleas-
ed to say that there was an entir
absence of disorder of any kind,
and that the crowd, while very
large, was exceedingly well be-
haved, quiet and gentlemanly.
W. M. Rea,
Sheriff, Tarrant Couunty, Tex.
J. W. Renfro,
Chief of Police, City of Fort
Worth.
N. C. Mann,
Constable Precinct No. 1.
This editor can add his indorse
ment to the above statement.
We spent several hours in Fort
Worth on the day of the rally
and visited the coliseum where
the big meeting was held, and
there was no ' disorder at any
time or place. It was a big, good
natured. crqwd.and all seemed
be trying to keep cool and get
something to eat.
And the eating was good and a
plenty of it. The people of Fort
Worth had prepared a fine lunch
at the coliseum and it was as free
as the ice water that flowed from
many tanks and barrels about the
building.
We also note in the daily pa-
pers that Mr. Paul Waples, chair-
man of the entertainment commit
tee, found it necesary to correct
a statement that free beer and
liquor were served to the crowd.
If there was anything of the sort
there this1 writer failed to get in
on the ground floor. Fact is we
saw very little drinking, consid-
ering the size of the crowd, and
the hot weather. . >
Let us all be fair and pull this
election off withouut fighting.
We are neighbors and friends,
whether we think alike on this
question or not, and after elec-
tion we should still be friends
and neighbors.
Everybody tote fair.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT
Of the financial condition c>f
Prendergasl, Smith & Do.,
Rally in Dallas, June 8th:
"In his speech to a prohibition
audience at Dallas Thursday ev-
ening, Hon. Thomas H. Ball used
the following language:
"Without questioning the mo-
tives, integrity or sincerity of
very many who attended the
meeting at Fort Worth, let me
say that this gathering was posi-
tively the last assemblage upon
Texas soil of a body of her cit-
izens to hear a governor of Texas
and others orate to a perspiring
audience at a convention financec
by the liquor interests of this
State, to the music of brass
bands from a city bearing the
immortal name of Houston, paid
from collections wrested from
bartenders' unions, brewers and
liquor dealers.'
"I know Tom Ball well, and
know he would not purposely or
knowingly give utterance to a
misstatement of facts, hence I
am qi^ite sure he has been misin-
formed with respect to the visit
of the Houston band to Fort
Worth.
"The truth is, the money for
that band was paid by quite a
number of Houston citizens, and
the interests mentioned by Mr.
Ball has nothing whatever to do
with it.
"On Wednesday evening of
last week several citizens (not
saloon or brewery men) were con
gregated together and the subject
of the Houston attendance at
Fort Worth came up.
"Finally it was suggested that
the Houston delegation, because
of its great numbers, ought to
have our splendid local band
along with it.
"The four present, including
myself, pledged $25 each for the
purpose, and! the next day, by
use of the phone and the efforts
of one of the four, the necessary
amount was raised, and I myself
made the contract for the band.
"I am not a member of Mr.
Welters' campaign committee
have been within its doors only
twice since the campaign opened,
and know little or nothing of his
plans, but I can say truthfully
and positively that the visit of
the Houston band to Fort Worth
not cost his committee or
friends goodbye on the platform, Loans and discounts, person'

"For nearly seven years I was
afflicted with a form of skin dis-
ease which caused an almost un-
bearable itching. I could neith-
er work, rest or sleep in peace.
Nothing gave me permanent re-
lief until I tried Hunt's Cure.
One application relieved me; one
box cured mo, and although a
year has passed, I have stayed
cured. I am grateful beyond ex-

Mahy a mother has learned of a
way of avoiding sickness in her fam-
ily, especially among the children, by
the use of a free sample bottle of the
famous laxative, Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. This offer of the doctor s to
send a free sample bottle has been re-
sponded to by thousands of women
in all parts of America.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
truly wonderful laxative and espe-
cially adapted to the needs of babies
and children because it is pleasant to
taste and no child will refuse it. Then,
it is mild and never gripes. It is all
that a child's remedy should be,
though it is a good laxative for the
whole family because it is effective
at all ages. It is not dynamic like
salts, pills and powerful cathartics,
which should not be given to chil-
dren under any circumstances.
Nine times out of ten when a child
complains and you dop't know ex-
actly what is the matter with it, it
needs a laxative—its bowels are con-
stipated. Syrup Pepsin will correct
the trouble, tone up the child tnd
soon it will be well again—wonder-
tul results have been secured with
Syrup Pepsin over night.
