Tuesday afternoon at 2 o’clock
the democracy of this community
had the pleasure of hearing one
of the most able arguments in
favor of the Bailey'ticket to the
Denver convention that it has
been our pleasure to hear during
the present campaign.
Senator Looney was a member
of the Senate Committee which
investigated Sep. Bailey in the
last legislature and he made
good use of the record which he
had with him in explaining the
different details of the workings
of that body, referring to the of-
ficial record of- the investigation
by page number to corroborate
his assertions.
He showed that the Hon. Cone
Johnson was misrepresenting
Bailey in his speeches by saying
that Bailey testified during the
investigation that Pierce was an
“honorable man.’? He showed
by the record, page 808, that
Bailey testified that way in the

Official Ballot.
Below is the official Democratic Ballot to be
voted at the special primary outlined above.
For Delegates at Large to the National Demo-
cratic Convention at Denver:
1 J. W. Bailey.
• M. M. Brooks.
3 James L. Story.
4 Andrew J. Baker.

such persons. I would have no faith in the
political integrityof a democrat who would im-
pose himself upon the organization of another
party, and the same rule would apply to those
of another political faith offering to vote in a
democratic primary.
It is the duty of each democrat when he
sees one of this kind present himself to vote,
then and there to challenge his right to vote,
and then the presiding officer will administer to
him the following oath:
“You do solemnly swear that yog are a
democrat and pledge yourself to support the
democratic presidential electors nominated by
the democratic party in 1908, and the nominees
of the democratic party to be nominated in the
primary election to be held in Texas in July
1908.”
The presiding officer will keep this con-
stantly before him and when this has been done
I want him to make a list of their names and
return them with the returns, to the county
chairman. No man who, in good faith, means
to keep this pledge will object to having the
oath administered, and one who objects to hav-
ing the oath administered, will furnish the best
evidence against himself that it should be ad-
ministered. (
I wish to insist that- you do not permit any-
thing to prevent you from preparing and hold-
ing an election on this date. I have been ad-
vised that a move would be made in some sec-
tions to have no election held but to do ourselves
credit, we must see that every democrat have a
chance to vote.

WANT TO SWAP PANHANDLE
- .
Curtis, Okla.—Oklahoma and
Texas may swap some territory.
Oklahoma has a panhandle, con-
sisting of three counties, run-
ning clepr to New Mexico. The
couties are Texas, Beaver and
Cimarron. They comprise what
used to be “No Man’s Land.”
The Panhandle is inaccesible to
most parts of the new state, and
y^nakes the state very odd shaped..
It has been proposed to Cong-
ressman Fulton to secure legis-
lation which will enable Okla-
homa to trade its three counties
comprising the panhandle, to
Texas, for the counties of Lips-
comb, Wheeler, Hemphill afid
Collinsworth, which border on
the west. The trade would in-
volve about the same amount of
territory. It would make Okla-
homa more compact. If Cong-
ress passes such a bill to autho-
rize the trade, then the legislat-
f- ures of the two states could pass
the necessary legislation to com-
plete the trade._________
New Postal Ruling in Effect.
The famous order pf the post-
office department requiring that
the second class or pound rate
shall not apply to newspapers
or periodicals mailed to sub-
scribers who are in arrears, be-
came effective April 1. The
order was aimed at the cheap
weekly and monthly mail order
yournals, but it has aroused a
storm of protests from publish-
ers of country weeklies and
v small newspapers in all sections
fof the country. Subscriptions

Bowie, Texas, April 10, 1908
G. M. Bush, Precinct Chairman,
Nocona, Texas.
Dear Sir:
I am having numbers of inquiries from
various parts ^>f the county, and especially from
the precinct chairmen, concerning the primary
on May.2, as to how the election shall be con-
ducted.
Those members of the committee who were
present at the Montague meeting know we ob-
ligated ourselves to hold this primary on that
date, and it being one not specially provided for
by law, we must hold it without expense. The
state committee insists that the precinct chair-
man in the respective precincts, act as presid-
ing officer, and that he get two judges and two
clerks to assist him. I am anxious that we do
this matter exactly fair and with equal justice
to every man and issue, and to the end that all
loyal democrats will submit to the result. I am
asking that you begin now and procure the
services of four men, two Bailey men and two
anti-Bailey men, to act as judges and clerks.
You may think we are asking too much that
you hold this election without compensation,
yet, you will agree with me that in my position .
I am doing more work and having more expense
than any one else connected with .the committee
and I am yet willing to do more, if the good of
democracy demands it. I consider this a criti-
cal time with with our party, since our internal
strife is materially affecting our prestige
abroad.
Let us all bear in mind this is a party fight,
pure and simple, and that no man who is an
avowed enemy to democracy has any right to
participate in the election, and when I say those
who are avowed enemies, I mean to say they
that are not with us are against us.
In due time I will see that the election sup-
plies reach you, and will ask that you do not
wait until the last few days to get your help but
secure it early by getting responsible men,
whose integrity is unquestioned.
I have it from many sources that men who
have always been repu ted to be of another

W. M. Imboden, editor of the
Austin Statesman, has been at
work unearthing some of the
private transactions of Attorney
General Davidson, and presents
facts that if they are true, and it
would seem impossible in the
face of the evidence Mr. Imboden
claims to be able to produce to
doubt them, should
silence the “reformers” who are
fighting Senator Bailey under
the banner of Attorney General
Davidson.
After securing this evidence
Mr. Imboden wrote the follow-
ing letter to the attorney general
which will explain itself:
Austin, Texas, March 81, 1908.
Hon. R. V. Davidson, Attorney
General, Capitol.
Sir—I desire to advise you
that I have in my possession
evidence of the following facte
which seriously affect you as a
candidate for attorney general
