Tuesday afternoon the Demo
eratic County Convention con-
vened in the Court House and the
following resolutions were adopt-
ed:
Be it resolved by the' Demo-
cratic Convention of Bosque
County: \
s J. That-’n^ wav chan I;*
, ,w%owif/6bne Johnson and those
with him on the Waco ticket for
the brilliant tight they have
waged for purity in public office.
2. That we congratulate Sen
ator E. B. Maytield upon the fact
that his Precinct, County, Rep-
resentative District and Judicial,
Senatorial, and Congressional
District have all been carried by
the Waco ticket, headed by the
Hon. Cone Johnson, thus vindi
eating the course of Senator
Maytield in opposing the conduct
of Senator Bailey, and thus show-
ing that Senator Maytield in op-
posing the conduct of Senator
Bailey was representing the sen
timents of a majority of the peo-
ple of his district and the several
political divisions which embrace
his home county.
;j. That we endorse the can-
didacy of Hon. William Jennings
Bryan for President of the Unit-
ed States, and particularly en-
dorse the sentiment expressed
by the great Commoner as the
key note of compaign for purity
in politics in the nation, which
sentiment is as follows, towit:
Congressmen are often asked
to draw contracts for corpora-
tions which are seeking favors— ,
the work to be done in private |
and the compensation to be lib j
eral. An official honor is in sac- j
redness next to a woman’s virtue
and one holding a public office |
cannot afford the slightest sus-1
picion to rest upon him. Tonoj
one more than the statesman j
does the proverb apply—“A good
A Fine Line of
Dishes, Glassware, Stationery, Silver
ware and Picture Frames to be found at
Larsen’s store that are [going at bottom
prices. Photographs made in all styles and
sizes. Yours for business,
S. F. Larsen
name is rather to be chosen than
great riches, and loving favor
rather than silver and gold.” If
one is willing to become a grafter
he can make money out of poli-
ties. Every senator can become
rich if he will only sell his soul,
and the opportunities of a con-
gressman are but little less. The
first lesson for the official lo learn
is that no man can serve two
masters. A man is lacking
in either intelligence or
honesty, or both, who defends
the acceptance by public ser-
vants of employment from those
whose interests are adverse to
the interests of the public.
4. That we endorse the senti-
ment expressed in the platform
of the Waco Convention to the
effect that we do not endorse
public officials who, while on the
pay roll of the people, insist up-
on accepting fees, gifts, loans
and favors from favorseeking
corporations and trusts whose
interests are adverse to the in-
terests of the people. And our
delegates to the State Conven
lion are instructed to submit a
plank of similar import to the
State Convention at Fort Worth
to the end that all delegates to
the National Democratic Conven-
tion from Texas will join the
great Commoner, W. J. Bryan in
writing this plank into the Na-
tional Platform of the Democratic
party.
The following delegates were

ocratic Convention which con

20 Beautiful Home Pictures
Will be given by the First National Bank of Clifton to
purchasers of “Bank Money Orders.” When you want
to send money away goto the First National, get a
Bunk Money Order, costs less, absolutely safe; a ticket
receipt with every money order sold. Return three of
these tickets and get a magnificent home adornment, a
Picture by some great artist in bright colors, under
glass and with ornamental Gilt Chain hanging. These
pictures would sell at retail at 50c to #1. We have
bought them to give away. Get them while they last.
They will adorn and brighten the home.
Bank Money orders cost less than postottice orders.

past few weeks are wonderful
tests on self control. Every
adult human being has an amount
of prejudice and times like these
tell as to who is master of him-
self. Men so far forget them
selves when some big speaker is
present from some other part of
the state to champion their cause,
that they can do and say little
things of their friends and neigh-
bors, who happen to differ from
them, never seeming to think
that when their champion has
gone, the neighbors will be with
them still. But we are glad to
say that the people here, with a
few exceptions, are very conser-
vative.
Miss.Marion Lumpkin has re
turned from an extended visit
with her brother, Dr. A. F.
Lumpkin, at Amarilla.
Dr. and Mrs. .7. J. Lumpkin
visited in Austin the latter part
of the week. ,
Miss Anna Newsom, of Morgan,
is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. J.
W. Rudasill this week.
Mrs. John Bain and little sons,
Jack and Joe, are visiting Mrs.
Bain’s mother, Mrs. T. C. Alex-
ander.
Corn is badly damaged in this
vicinity, from the recent cold
spell. The outlook is anything
but bright, and practical farmers
say there is no hope for quite a
good part of the crop.
