"SHEUMAN Texas May 1. Colonel 3.
Welters continued today to return the
visit In Grayson county which Choice B.
Rand ell made In Harrls last fall. And '
again ho found that he was reosiTed
with many more supixirters here than W-
Randelf found In Houston.
'. War at Whltewrlebt this afternoon more
than 400 crowded lnt a theater and stood
about Ihe doors to llear and applaud him
while a more responivu audience of Kt
Crowded tnto the coi:rt house and stood
about tha-walla of ihe court room hers
S night. Mr. Kandell had sixty-two at
oueton.
O. I 'Ballay. the county democratic
chairman mounted the platform here
wearing a Jake Wolters button and pre-
sented him as a man who could discuss
democratic principles as few men can.
At WhltewTlgtit this afternoon Zeb Spear-
man editor of the W bltrwright Sun In-
troduced him. During the progress of his
aAdress hers tonight practically every
statement be made was applauded. At
Whltewrlght- there were cheers time after
tiros and the speaker was encouraged by
hla audience. It appeared In both In-
stances tynt the crowd was with him and
that he mads friends.
He took occasion today to answer a
few campaign canards which have been
circulated here and elsewhere Ho de-
nied that he was one of the leaders who
supported George Clark of Waco against
James 3. Hogg. He raid that he recog-
nised Judge Clark ss an honored honest
and distinguished citizen' but when he
was' elected cnjiity attorney of Fayette
county he was elected while a candidate
upon the Hogg ticket though his county
favored the candidacy of Judge Clark.
Is Native Born Texan
Likewise there ha been In this county
a preacher circulating tho report that
Colonel Wolters Is a foreigner and he em-
phasised the fact that he Is a native
Texan as were his father and mother be-
fore hinv
"I understand one of your distinguished
ministers has been telling your citizens
that I am a foreigner and was born in
'Germanyjsr If it were a fact that 1 am an
adopted son. t would not he disquaniiea
for high office. Some of our ablest states-
men havo ben Knglixh. Irish and Ger-
mans. But 1 am not a foreigner I trust
tho minister whom I know has been mis-
informed for surely he would not make
a willful misstatement will be magnani-
mous enough to suy to the people to
whom ho han sioken that In was mis-
taken. I am of course of German de-
scent. There Is not one of um here who
can say -that he Is an American unless
he descends from the aborigines the
Indians. I am not ashamed of the race
from which I come hut I am as proud
of it as I am of my American national-
ity.'' ho declared.
"Mr. Randell is down In Southeast
Texas telling the people that Morris
Shrppard Isn't good enough on the Initia-
tive referendum Hnd recall and that he
Is the only one that Is slmon pure; that
Shrppard and myself nr alike In ou
democracy. If there Is anything Randell
advocates which I concur In aside from
settled policies of the party- 1 have not
found it. If there is anything" Sheppant
advocates that I concur in that la an
.important question I have not discov-
ered It. These two candidates opposing
me advocate the same things. Each is
demanding tho exemption of the raanu-
fuctui era from taxation through free raw
materiul and each favors the Initiative
ref'-renduui and recall. To both Ideas 1
am opposed.
"Put them together and they are tied
arvund with the old' whig tariff doctrine
and .ire both marked with the socialistic
principles. One ift Just as hnd as the
other arid one Is just as good as the
other. You could shake them up and put
them In the socialistic party and you
could not tell them apart or from the
average socialist except from the howl
they raise that they are democrats."
(Applause.
Running is Democrat.
"I don't want to be elected senator as
un anti-prohlbltlonist but as a democrat.
I don't want you to be led away from
I the i.suea when Sheppard raises the
I white flag and tries to appeal to your
prejudices. Nor do I want you to be
led off by Randell's effort to appeal to
prejudice against Sentrior Bailey if there
( be ench. '
i "Mr lialley Is not a candidate for the
1'nlted States senate. If he was I would
not he here but down In South Texas
helping to return him to the senate. 1
don't want to he elected to office on the
coattails of uny man and I don't want
to see anybody elected because he Is
prejudiced against another man. Nor do
1 want to sec a man elected on a prohibi-
tion prejudice when that Is not even a
campaign question. Take Into considera-
tion the Issues affecting the dutlesvftf a
senator and select your man unon that."
I he urged amid cheers.
! He declared that he has always under-
i stood that Texans are Interested In pro-
curing n good profit for their raw matc-
1 rials yet Kandell and Sheppard advo-
cate a reduction In their prices to the
manufacturer under the theory of free
raw materials. He would like to go to
the senate to help Texans secure better
prices for their products while Sheppard
and liandell would reduce them. In
showing the disastrous effects of the
Wilson free raw material tariff bill he
again pointed out that .Grover Cleveland
did not approve that bill but let It be-
come the law without his signature and
that tne democratic party repudiated It
within four years.
He showed that under that law wool
went to 7 cents a pound cotton sold from
.1 to & cents a pound and wheat was
down to .10 and 35 cents. The United
States Imported under Its operation 1149-
000. 000 worth of wool In excess of Its
usual Importation to the detriment 'Of
the Texas wool growers.
He remarked that Randell said that
there was no principle Involved in this
tariff uuestion. He was afraid that the
distinguished congressman of this district
had served upon the ways-and means
committee to little effect rf he has not
learned better than this.
.Sheppard he thought had dug up old
whig speeches and Is following them.
He will become a private citizen because
lie will be defeated for the United States
senate. He has never berors enjoyed thai
privilege and when he does and has to
battle in the world for his existence he
will learn something about that neces-
sity for high prices for free raw material
himself as practical experience will so
teach any man.
Opponents and Free Raw Msti
"Sheppard and Randell we
gress In 1909 preaching tho
free 'raw enaterial. Then whci
publican congress proposed to
tariff off the hides as R did
two great advocates of free raw materia
ducked. Why? Because every farmer
In the districts has a bunch of cows
and they knew that ttyelr farmer constit-
uents might not like: It and free hides
did not give us cheaper shoes as-was
contended and should be the eass under
the argument of Mr. Sheppard" ha said.
Referring at one time to Mr. Randell
bs again remarked:!' "Ho will - modestly
admit that he Is the only honest man not
only In this race but even In congress."
There was laughter and appMUise. .
Colonel Wolters brought applause from
his Sherman crowd whan ha declared that
he would rather follow tho tariff views
of Hogg coioerson nailer and Reagan
than grovel at the feet and get Inspire-.
tlon from Cyclone Carls i He was . also
applauded wnen- ne said -that' Benatoi"

said that he could show coonskins for he

been republican transformed Into a Gib-

two hours here. The fct that he 'was
sneaking In lUndoll'S home t.iwn tonight
did not cause him to falter In his criti-

contrary he was unusuallv vigorous In
so doing. The stenographer of Mr. Ran-

Combine Against Him in
Appeal for Support.

JACKSONVILLE. Texas. May 15?
Holding the close attention of a crowd
of about three hundred voters Hon.
Choice B. Randell delivered an appeal
for support In his candidacy for the
t'nlted States senate here this afternoon
at the opera house scoring the man who
would pull moral questions into politics
and telling his audience that Railey and
his machine had put an antl and a pro-
hibitionist in the race against him In
order to divert the people from the real
Issues of the campaign and thuswln a
victory for the corporations and the peo-
ple that for so long have dominated the
politics of Texas.
"Jake Wolters has-been a lobbyist for
Ihese very corporations at Austin for
years" said the speaker "and I know the
people of the State of Texas won't send
him to represent thein against Just such
people. As for Morris 1 ask you who
know him would he be as wealthy to-
day K he had always adhered to.ithe re-
qulrewent of my bill. No he would not
and I say thai not only -here but to as
many people in Texas as the press will
reach 1 have endeavored to get him to
meet nie In Joint debate and discuss the
Issues of the campaign but he says lie
has not time and yet he has been fol-
lowing me up or speaking right behind
me ever since."
Tlw speaker frequently called forth ap-
plause1 and those who were present were
pleased with his talk many saying It
was a masterpiece. At the conclusion of
his address they crowded around him
and congratulated him and It was .the
topic of discussion for hours afterwards
on the streets.

Judge Ramsey was Introduced by Hon.

of Oovernor Colquitt was severe at times.

APSTIX. Texas May iu.-the spoech
of C. M. Abbott State pur food commis-
sioner before the master' bakers of -Texas '
was the fiature of. today' spsslon (
The applause at the conuluslon of. the
"talk was entliuKlaatic and eome) of those
present were quickly on their feet to say
that iloi bakers of the State stand ready
to co-operate with the pure food depart-
ment ln tli Interest of cleanliness and
the public health. Editor Gibbm of ban
b'ranctsco declared that the' bakers sna the
Texas public are to be congratulated l
on their pure food commissioner. .'
Among other things Mr. Abbott told '
his hearers that in his opinion most Of
the bread baked tn Texas contains too
much moisture to be as wholesome as It
should lie. He did not think that this .
wa primarily the bakers' fault for the
public seems not fo know what .good
bread Is like and to demand damp heavy -bread
rather' than light dry bread.
Whereas much of the bread sold here-
contains 86 and 40 per cent of moisture :
It was said it ought not to .contain mora
than 15 or 20 per -nt.! It Is. very largely
a matter of educating the public; the 4
siieaker said and he expressed the hope
that Texas bakers ' would be courageous
tell their customers what good bread Is :
and give them the' good -article whether
they want it or not. i
