mentioned
An appeal is made for public ex-
pressions against the re-election of
Mi Bailey to the senate and in that
connection the statement i- made
that "Mr Bailey Is not the nominee
of the democracy of Texas
"But aside from this." the address
continues "the legislature alone can
elect the I'nited States senator but
under the circumstances of this case
its members are neither morally nor
legalij bound by the failure of any
one to t;tin against Mr Bailey in the
primaries. It will be their duty to
heed the wishes of the people and
the people can and will yet speak to
them in no uncertain terms."
The address says: "We believe the
newspapers of Texas as a rule are
true to the people but we shall not
rely upon them exclusively * '
The people in am event however
shall hear from us. and they shall
know whom to distrust among the
newspaper fraternity — postage is
cheap. Λ half million copies of this
appeal including a list of all Texas
newspapers if any which fail to pub-
lish it will be distributed in pam-
phlet form and every business man.
every workingman and every farmer
in Texas shall have ample time to
consider it before the legislature
meets."
The address In full makes about
4000 words. The letter of transmit-
tal says that all the daily papers of
the United States and all the weekly
papers of Texas have been furnished
with a copy and it calls attention to
the statement in the address that the
address will be published in pamph-
let form and universally distributed
throughout the state*
The stationery shows that in ad-
dition to the officers mentioned in
tlie foregoing .John S. Stewart is the
treasurer and A. O. Roberts secre-
tary of the club.

ter street parade of glittering opu-

This parade is given in twenty sec-
tions and embraces hundreds of new
and novel pageant novelties. Thirty
five open cages of rare wild animal:
are shown together with beautifu
horses and herds of elephants cam
els zebras and sacred cattle. Poui
gaily uniformed bands and the ever
popular calliope furnish music t'oi
the pageant.
(The Hagenbeck circus is the big-
gest of all tented amusement enter-
prises. and is fighting the circus

Ringling Brothers' World's Greatest
Shows surpasses anything of the kind
ever attempted From their im j
mense herd of forty elephants thej !
present three large groups in sepa-'
rate ring performances the features
of which must be seen to be appreci- '
ated. The huge beasts move with
incredible speed and thoroughly en- '
joy the unnatural things they are ]
called upon to do. They play at
mimic war dance dreamy waltzes
lively two-steps and stately minuets
[humorously enact fardai skits stand
j on their head and balance their pon-
derous bodies with all the skill of
! human performers. They also play
musical instruments with a marvel-
ous result of tuneful tones. Pearl
Sounder a trainer of international
[fame directs this remarkable exhibi- \
! tlon. Herr Sounder claims the ele-
!:phant is the most intelligent faith-
1 fut and u»ef\U of aU w\Ut animât»
; and avers with Impressive solemnity
I ! that the monster beasts have a langu-
I age as well as a degree of human
I understanding which he is able to
(translate and thereby get into closer
j sympathy with his charges. The
wonderful things they do at his sug-
gestion give a color of probability to
this claim. It is the sight of a life-
time to see forty elephants in one big
company and that is the privilege
offered by Ringling Brothers in the
menagerie annex to their World's
Greatest Shows.
