THURSDAY. AUG. 23, 1906.
JOSEPH W. BAILEY,
For President 1908.
It is all oyer now.
The Campbells have "came."
Now the campaign is history
work for ochulenburcr.
The continued rains are interfer-
ing with our farmers in gathering
their cotton.
The Fayette County vote went
for Bell on the second ballot.
What has the Brenham Bannner
to say about it?
Work as hard for your town and
county foi the next two years as
you did for your favorite candidate
for governor and note the results.
The weather man has been yery
unkind to us this year. Dry weath-
er when we needed rain and wet
weather when it should have been
dry.
Colquitt saw that he would be
dropped on the second ballot and
withdrew, and cliams he did so to
kill a scheme to nominate Bell.
Get out of it some way.
Colquitt claimed that Jake Wol-
ters tried to vote the citizens of
Fayette, but what did Colquitt try
to do in Dallas at the convention?
He not ouly tried to vote the Fay-
ette county delegation, but of the
whole state.
The Brownville outrage should
be a lesson to the national govern-
ment, and should teach the prop-
er authority not to place negro
troops in the State of Texas.
Probably in any other city besides
Brownville the nesro troop whould
hays been shot to piecas.
VVe note that Mr. Theuer, edi-
tor of the Texas Volksfruend, has
also become proprietor of the pa-
per. The paper was established by
Mr.Frank Johnson two years ago
and has been edited by Mr.Theuer.
We conjyatulate Mr. Theuer up-
on his acquisition and wish him
and the Volksfreuod a long and
prosperous lite.
While the prohibition question
was not a' general issue in the
gubernatorial campaign, Brooks
and Colquitt made it quite a
strong one between them. We be-
lieve the least said in either direc-
tion is best, but such men as
Brooks and Colquitt agitating the
question the state will be involved
into another prohibition election.
The Sticker has been preaching
to its readers about patronizing
our home merchants since the fust
issue and will endeavor to convince
thorn of their duty j.lo our home
merchants in each issue to come
and we earnestly hope that the
merchants will reciprocate and pa-
tronize their little home job office
when in need of stationary of any
kind, If we bavn't the kind you
want we can get it for you. Only
giye us a show.
The Sticker wishes to congratu-
late those of the delegation who
favored casting the Fayette county
yote for Bell after 'Colquitt had
withdrawn. Bell having received
the second highest yoles in the
county, was entitled to the vote as
any fair and'broad minded cititzen
will agree. There were three on
the delegation who bitterly opposed
the action of the other six, but as
the delegation was instructed to
vote as a unit and as the majority
.said vote for Bell, so the vote
went.
Dallas, Texas, August 16.—
Near the end of the second ballot
Judge Bell made the following ad-
dress to the convention:
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of
the Convention: When I had the
honor of announcing myself as a
candidate for the office of governor
one of the proposition that 1 sub-
mitted was that I was not£in favor
of a nomination made by a plurali-
ty vote. I then stated that it
would be within the power of
special interests, whenever more
than two or three can be present-
ed before the people, for those in-
terested £to secure the nominatson
of their man by a plurality vote.
1 am very much gratified to know
that this convention, in its plat-
form, has just adopted practically
the same thing that I then con-
tended for. (Applaus.) if I had
made any change in the view that
a plurality vote was desirable or
that it would be eyen safe, I would
have annouced my withdrawal
from this race on the day after the
primaries were held. (Applause.)
Circumstancos have, however,
new demonstrated that I am not
the choice of a majority of the peo-
ple of Texas expressed in the man-
ner required by law. 1 understand
that the vote has progressed far
enough now to show that another
gentleman, who received an actual
majority of all the votes represent-
ed in this convention. Under those
circumstances, 1 deem it unneces-
sary to prolong these prodeedings
further.
Your courtesy now affords me
opportunity to express to my
friends my very great appreciation
of the kindness that they have
manifested [ during the campaign
which is now at an end. I hope 1
haye so conducted myself—I cer-
tainly haye endeavored to do so—
in the canvass that I have conduct,
ed that I have not forfeited the re-
spect, the confidence or the esteem
of any of my friends. (Appluse.)
I have endeavored to conduct the
canvass on a high plane; the plane
that should characterize one who
seeks the nomination for the high-
est office within the gift of the peo-
ple of the ^State. No man, I am
sure, has up to this time had oc-
casion to apologize for any thing I
haye ever done in public or private
life. (Applause.) I would prefer
to have this said of me than that
any honors that could be given me
by the peeple.
My friends I^shall always hold in
grateful memory the kindness of
those who have been kind enough
to support me; and I do not wish
it understood for a minute that 1
have any regrets over this result
of the proceedings of >tbis conven-
tion, except, of course, that which
necessarily attaches to a defeat. I
do not intend in any way to sulk;
I dojjot intend in any way to al-
low my allegiance to my party to
be in the jleaat bit shaken or alter-
ed becaused of the fact that I am
not the choice ef the~democracy of
our State.
It would be useless for me to at-
tempt to disguise the fact that I re
gret inexpressibly the combination
which has resulted in my defeat.
However that may be, I accept the
result in perfect good nature. 1
accept tho result as one of the exi-
gencies that is liable to occur at
at any time in political contests. I
expcct to remain as I have been,
steadfast in my party fealty; I ex-
pect to continue to exercise the
confidence that I may possess in
behalf of the nominees of this con-
vention and of other conyentions
that may hereafter be held by the
democratic party. (Applaus,)
I hope very much that 1 will have
an opportunity at some time to re-
pay the gentlemen who have bean
kind enough to support me, and I
now thank each and all of you for
your attention and ask that the
nomination of the gentleman who
has already received the no mina-
tion be made unanimous.

business men, was in the city Mon
day,Tuesday and Wednesday. Mr.
House, with his wife and Mr. and
Mrs. Burnett are making the trip
from Houston to San Antonio in
the former's 40 horse power auto-
mobile. They were delayed here
on account of a few repairs needed
on the machine. The roads be-
tween here and Weimar being in
such a bad condition, owing to the
continued rains, was almost im-
passible for the big machine and a
surrey was sent out for the party
Monday night. They left Wed-
neaday noon and was accompanied
by Mr. Emil Baumgarten as far as
Engle. The big automobile cre-
ated some some interest among our
people as it is very seldom that
we get to see anything of the kind
in this neck of the woods.

"I guess I'll marry Tommy Brown
when I get crowed up," said four-year-
old Margie.
'Why, do you really like him so
much?" asked her mother.
Oh, it isn't that," answered Margie,
but he likes the same kind of candy
that I do."

And That's No Lie.
Brown—Every president should be
given a second term.
Green—Because why?
Brown—Fewer of his friends would
be disappointed during his second
term.
' Green—Kow do you figure that out?
Brown—Why, he would have fewer
to disappoint.
