Cleburne, Tex., Jan. 18.—A num-
ber of Cleburne’s prominent and in-
fluential citizens met at the Court
House last night to endorse the can-
didacy of Judge Wm. F. Eamsey for
Governor of Texas. A large and
representative attendance was present
and there was a great deal of en-
thusiasm shown in favor of his can-
didacy. A number of speeches were
made.
The address adopted b}r the meet-
ing is as follows:
TO THE HONORABLE H. P.
BROWN, CHAIRMAN:
We, your committee heretofore
appointed by you at a meeting held
by/a large and representative gath-
ering of the Democrats of Johnson
County, called together for the pur-
pose of expressing in a public way
to the Democrats of Texas our
knowledge and appreciation of Judge
William F. Ramsey as a neighbor,
citizen and Democrat, a-ncl to thus
manifest in some small degree our
interest in his candidacy for Gov-
ernor of this State, hereby recom-
mend the adoption by this . gather-
ing of the following address:
TO THE DEMOCRATS OF TEXAS:
This committee and the signers
of these resolutions, as well as the
citizenship which created it, is com-
posed of men who have come togeth-
er from the various walks of life who
have not always , heretofore been
agreed, either with respect to men or
measures, politically, and who do not
now pretend to hold the same opin-
ions on some questions, both State
and National, of moment and impor-
tance to the people. They, however,
are a unit in the belief that under
present conditions the candidacy of
Judge Ramsey for Governor is not
only opportune and justified, -hut
that the public weal demands it, to
the end that hatred and ill-will may
be eliminated from our politics and
driven from the administration of
our public affairs, in the, hope that
harmony and good feeling may be
restored among our citizens and that
strife and bitterness shall no longer
find an abiding place in the several
departments of our State Govern-
ment; so that every interest and
every individual shall feel and know
that fair play, a square deal and
justice under the law will be the
moving spirit in the administration
of the Governor’s office and that
this high plane will be reached in
every department of the govern-
mental service.
Judge Ramsey’s father, Captain
J. J. Ramsey, moved to Johnson
County from Gonzales County more
than fifty years ago. Judge Ram-
sey, a child then, has continued to
make this his home and the greater
number of us have been witnesses
of his conduct and life from his
boyhood to the present hour.

trict. He was ever active in s-

good fortune always to have the gd
will of his political opponents al
to be in a position to become a p&-
fier and healer of party woun,
without weakening his influence r
compromising any principle invo-
ed.
Judge Ramsey for more than tl>
ty years has not been a Candida
for any office, except for the positii
on the Court of Criminal Appes
to which he was elected without <-
position. His interest in good g«-
ernment has been confined to te
advocacy of measures and the si-
port of candidates in harmony the-
with and in this he has been actii,
zealous, untiring and unselfish. Is
success at the bar was attested y

ablest lawyers in Texas. In te
thirty years of his active practe
which invites confidence and discus-
sion. It is believed by those who have
known him the longest and best that
his election as Governor of this State
would mark a new and better era in
Texas; that under his guidance the
administration of law, civil and
criminal, would he improved; har-
mony restored in the State Govern-
ment; our educational institutions
enlarged, bettered and encouraged;
the laws better enforced and every
man and woman in Texas made to
know that there is a chief executive
in Austin who regards himself as the
holder of a sacred trust and as the
servant of all the people.
Judge Ramsey is now, and has for
many years been, in favor of State-
wide prohibition- He advocated and
voted for prohibition in 1887, as he
did during the recent contest. Some
of us have not believed, and de not
now believe, that this method of
treating the liquor question is sound-
est and best, but while we may not
all agree with him upon this or other
issues we all agree and unite in urg-
ing the Democracy of Texas to sup-
port his candidacy, on the ground
that it stands for that which is best
and dearest to the people of this
State. ^
Among other things for which his
candidacy stands may properly be
mentioned the following:

money to be expended in campaigns

Miss Thompson, whose form nature
has endowed with all-too-ample
curves, was giving her little nephew
a lesson in spelling the other day. He
had spelt b-e, be, and h-e, he, and
qow she was trying to get him to tell
her what m-e, spelt.
“Listen, Bobby,” she said earnest-
;y. Then closing her lips she pro-
aouaced the sound of a long m, and
opening them, the sound of a long e.
‘What does that spell?”
“Bobby looked at her and shook his
lead. Again she tried, and this time,
while pronouncing the sounds, she vig-
orously tapped her own rotund chest
with her plump forefinger.
“Mmum, ee. What letters am I say-
ing and what do they spell?” she
asked, still vigorously tapping her
chest.
“I don’t know what the letter^ are,”
replied Bobby, watching the plump
forefinger, “but I guess they spell

versity, at Tehuacana, where after
some years of study he graduated.
His early life was not different from
that of the average of his kind,
among whom he grew to manhood.
Coming on the scene of action in
the days following the Civil War,
his lot was that of the average boy
whose father had sacrificed his for-
tune and health in the interest of
the South, the cause he so well loved
but lost, the Confederacy, his fath-
er having been a Confederate sol-
dier without stain or blemish on his
record and. to his death desiring no
greater honor than to be numbered
with those who defended their flag
and their homes. After the war
Captain Ramsey was a farmer and
later a merchant, spending his last
years under the roof of his stm,
Judge Ramsey, who delighted to
honor and care for him.
Judge Ramsey has always been a
Democrat, with faith in the funda-
mental principles of the party and
never questioning the wisdom of/its
action in enunciating platforms in
State or National conventions and
always supporting the nominee of
the party as though he were his per-
sonal choice, without reference to
past differences or beliefs. In 1884
he was a presidential elector on the
Cleveland and Hendricks ticket.

has been in a position to render spe-
cial service to the unemployed, to
the young and struggling members
of his own profession and to those
needing the counsel of a wise adviser
and the aid of an unselfish friend
and in this respect it is not too
much to say that few men have ever
lived in Johnson County who have
rendered more of unselfish service
to his fellowman than he. The doors
of his office and his library were
never closed to the struggling, am-

Politically he is sound in the es-

believes in clean politics, pure elec-

development of the resources of the

THESE SIX LETTERS
From New England Women
Prove that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com-
pound Does Restore the Health of Ailing Women*
' Boston, Mass.—“I was passing1 through the Change of Life and suffered
from hemorrhages (sometimes lasting for weeks), and could get nothing to
check them. I began taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
(tablet form) on Tuesday, and the following Saturday morning the hem-
orrhages stopped. I have taken them regularly ever since and am steadily
^‘Tcertainly think that every one who is troubled as I was should give
your Compound Tablets a faithful trial, and they will find relief* —Mrs*
Geobbe Juby, 802 Fifth Street, South Boston, Mass.
Letter from Mrs. Julia King, Phoenix, R.I.
Phoenix, R.I.—“I worked steady in tho mill from the time I was .12 years
old until I had been married a year, and I think that caused my bad feel-
ings. I had soreness in my side near my left hip that went around to mv
back, and sometimes I would have to lie in bed for two or three days. A
was not able to do my housework. , . ,,
“ Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has helped me wonderfully in
every way. You may use my letter for the good of others. I am onlytoo
glad to do anything within my power to recommend your medicine. —Mrs.
Julia Kins, Box 282, Phoenix. R.I. ,
Letter from Mrs. Etta Donovan,Willimantic, Conn*
Willimantic, Conn.—“ For five years I suffered untold agony from female
troubles causing backache, irregularity ;s, dizziness, and nervous prostra*
tion. It was impossible for me to walk up stairs without stopping on the
way. I was all run down in every way. t
“ J tried three doctors and each told me something different. 1 received
no benefit.from any of them but seemed to suffer more. The last doctor
said it was no use for me to take anything as nothing would restore me to
health again. So I began taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
to see what it would do, and by taking seven bottles of the Compound and
other treatment you advised, I am restored to my natural health. Mrs.
Etta Donovan, 762 Main Street, Willimantic, Conn.
Letter from Mrs. Winfield Dana, Augusta, Me.
Augusta, Me.—“Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has cured the
backache, headache, and the bad pain I had in my right side, and I am \ <-
perfectly welL”—Mrs. Winfield Dana, R.F.D. No. 2, Augusta, Me.
Letter from Mrs. J. A. Thompson, Newport, Vt.
Newport, Vt.—“I thank you for the great benefit Lydia E. Pinkham’a
Vegetable Compound has done me. I took eight bottles and it did wonders
for me, as I was a nervous wreck when I began taking it. I shall always
speak a good word for it to my friends.”—Mrs. John A. Thompson, Box 3,
Newport Center, Vermont.
Letter from Miss Grace Dodds, Bethlehem, N.H.
Bethlehem, N.H.—“ By working very hard, sweeping carpets, washing,
ironing, lifting heavy baskets of clothes, etc., I got all run down. X WM
sick in bed every month. . , _
“ This last Spring my mother got Lydia E. Pinkham s Vegetable Com-
pound for me, and already I feel like another girl. I am regular and do
not have the pains that I did, and do not have to go to bed. IwiU. tell all
my friends what the Compound is doing for me.”—Miss Gkacix B. Dodds,
Box 133, Bethlehem, N.H.
For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable (SJjTc
Compound has been th e standard remedy for fe- In y
male ills. No one sick with woman’s ailments ((//
does justice to herself who will not try this fa-
mous medicine, made from roots and herbs, it
has restored so many suffering women to health.
