Hon. Choice B. Randell will speak
at Brenham next Saturday after-
noon at 1:30 o'clock on the political
issues of the day and invites all pro-
gressive Democrats and Republicans

able speaker and will doubtless have

OFFER TO SPEAK FOR CLARK.

AT CALVERT

chairman and the nomination of
Clark for the presidency, if that is
I the bargain, there intervenes the

June 26,-r-Speak- ^ |8 git?n|(jcunt that the New York
delegation, under Murphy's leader-
ship—which means Tammany has a
committee of three—is preparing a
tentative draft of the platform. It
is assumed that part of the report-
ed Clark-Murphy bargain is that tlx#
platform will be Tammany's, and, in
fact, everything is to be Tammany If
the coalition should control to the
end, except Clark for the presidency
and Clark's record Is such that lit
the general estimation the presiden-
tial nomination itself has not gotten
away from Tammany if tae coali-
tion gets behind the speaker's nom-
ination.

Secretary Elmore has received a
very flattering offer to enter the po-

Old Soldiers Are Thinning Out With
the Passing Years—Not Many
Left.
The forty-first annual reunion of
Hood'B Texas brigade will be held in
Calvert June 27 and 28. All mem-
bers of the brigade will be entertain-
ed In Calvert homes and the citizens
of that pfetty little city have plan-
ned a most pleasant reunion for the
veterans.
Hood's Texas brigade carried with
it to the Confederate army many of
the young men who lived In the vi-
cinity of Houstcn, and Us annual re-
unions have always drawn a number
of Houstonians, grown fewer as the
years rolled on. This year only n
few of the old soldiers will attend,
for there are only a few of them left.
The offices of the brigade are:
President , Captain J. II. Drennen,
Calvert; vice presler.t, Willis J. Watt,
Palestine; secretary. Miss Katie Daf-
fan, Austin; chaplain, Rev. J. W.
Stevens, Houston; chairman of pro-
gram committee, Scott Field of Cal-
vert.

Other Views Are Given,
Despite today's developments, Rep-
resentative Conery, a Tammany con-
gressman from Murphy's district
says there has been no deal between
Murphy and Clark; that Senator
William J. Stone, shrewd, practical
politician, has no promise from Mur-
phy. an dthat the delivery of enough
votes today to elect Judge Parker,
the Tammany candidate for the tem-
porary chairman, was merely a bid
by the Clark people for Tammany'*
support of Clark. Herman Bidder, a
New York delegate, asserts that the
New York delegates do not want
Clark, and he believes that the dele-
ft; on. after casting a few comple-
mentary votes for state favorite*,
will eventually settle on some con-
servative like Harmon or Under-
wood .
to a point on the Colorado river,
where they will go into camp for two
weeks.
The Scouts will take tents aifd a
days.
The proceedings will open Thurs-
day morning Juno 27, Mayor Set it
Burnett delivering the address of wel-
Depends on Tammany.
Clark's victory is In sight only on
the assumption that Clark gets the
support of Murphy Tas?gart, Sulll-
f
van and other democratic leaders
who are usually called reactionary,
but who fit In under Judge Parker's
description of "a progressive demo-
crat who is opposed to the third
term for president, who blames th«
high cost of living on the tariff and
who declares his unalterable opposi-
tion to special privileges, albeit in
vague and undefined terms."
