didates for senator making speech-
es in the same day.
The first was 0. B. Colquitt who

local citizens and by the band, lie
was immediately escorted to the
courthouse and introduced to the
assembled crowd by Mr. H. Burk*.
Mr. Burks said in introducing Mr.
Colquitt that that though many
might differ with the ex-Govern-
«r there was no man on earth that
doubted that Mr. Colquitt would
. follow his convictions andtthat it
took no detective to find where he
stood on public questions. Mr. Col-
quitt outlined the policies he be-
lieved should be followed by the
nation, dealing particularly with
.the Mexican situation and with the
questions of states rights. The ex-
Ooveruor held his crowd well and
impressed his hearers deeply.

Dr. Brooks then outlined the
things he believed the government

said should he be elected he would
nof have all those things done im-
mediately but that he would work
for tk^m and if any man made too
many promises he’d have to break
most of them. Dr. Brooks impress-
ed his hearers aa a man of logic

showed his smiling face on the
streets of Comanche Thursday.
Mr. Rowland gives Brownwood
a good name, but rather adds he’s
glad to get “home” and that the
people of Comanche and its sur-
rounding territory do not realize
their opportunities unless they
stay away awhile: -
Mr. Rowland does not know ex-
actly what he will do, but adds he
will rest awhile, join the painters’

A move is afoot to centralise the
church services of the city, haring
union services at a central point
each Sunday.
On account of the heat of the
church buildings, where the servi-
ces are held at present, it is propos-
ed to rent the skating rink and to
hold union services there each
Sunday. Nothing has as yet been
done, but it is being agitated by
some of the church people.
