To the Chairman of the Runnels
County Democratic Convention:
We, your committee on resolu-
tions, beg to report as follows:—
Whereas, in view of the assault
now being made within the bor-
ders of our State against the
Democratic party by a clan of
malcontents, disgruntled and de-
feated-office-seekers and disap-
pointed-politicians, such as as-
sembled at what is commonly
known as the anti-Bailey Conven-
tion held at Waco, on March the
7th composed chifley of men ofthe
type of the well known populist,
Cyclone Davis, who has never
breathed a /Democratic bresth,
and Cone Johnson whose politi-
cal record is perforated with
deeds of misdoing, who have
other purpose than i and is compo6ed of le who
to disrupt the oramzed Demo- stand for the true principles of

Do Animals Reason?
While studying in the Zoologi-
cal Garden in London, I made
the acquaintance of a mischiev-
ous baboon that, because of its
irresistible desire to make a
rough house of the cage and its
many smaller occupants, was
chained in one corner of the in-
closure. I have seen him walk
the length of his chain, tufn,
reach out with a hind foot and
pick up or drag to him some bit
of food or trinket that caught
his eye, and which he could see
without trying was beyond the
reach of his hands or front feet.
When the other monkeys, in a
moment of playfulness and for-
getfulness, got too near him, he
would suddenly rush out to the
full length of the chain and
quick as lightening snap about
and grab blindly at them with
a hind foot. Usually he failed
in his object, but sometimes he
succeeded in catching one, when
he would haul the screaming,
struggling victim to him, and
hold it firmly with his hind feet
while he submitted it to a close
examination for half an hour or

We have good cause to stand

A ger is the smallest town in Tex-'

when we stop to compare our
public utilities with those of
towns many times the size of
Ballinger, we can’t help but feel
proud of our town. Especially
are we proud of our street lights,

A comparison of two factions
on the Bailey question is out of
reason. There is no comparison.
Look at the delegation going
from Ballinger today to the Ft.
Worth convention, and compare
them with the bunch that went
to Waco convention. Not a single
man from Ballinger attended the
Waco hatefeast, while over thirty
are off to the Fort Worth con-
vention. The Fort Worth bunch
are representative citizen of Ball-
inger, and are rock ribbed, life
long, simon pure true Democrats
and they will advertise the fact
that Runnels county is a Dem-
ocratic’couuty and stands pat
for Bailey.

latest Spring wearables.

Democracy a&inst the malcon-
i tents, socialists «*nd political ren-
| gades that characterized the
i aforesaid Waco meeting.
Fifth, That we indorse the
policy of our Runnels County
Democratic papers, the Banner-
Leader and the Miles Messenger,
in their ardent and manly fight
in behalf of the true principles
of Democracy, and against social-
ism and anarchism which today
is a menace to Democracy and
good government.

When it come to the election
of delegates to the Fort Worth
Convention Judge Guion stated
as there was no limit as to the
number, and it not being known
who could attend,he thought the
best way would be to authorize
the chairman to appoint and furn-
ish with credentials all true demo-
crats who w ish to go. This plan
was agreed upon and names call-
ed for, and in a few minutes a
list of twenty names had been
secured, and as fast as those
wishing to go could decide de6
