PlainviewJ Tex.f May 17.—
Please give space to the inclosed
etter. I have thought for quite
a while that we would finally get
ifr. Bailey’s support for Mr. Col-
quitt, and this letter looks that
way. Respectfully,
S. L. Russell.
The letter inclosed by Mr.
Russell reads as follows:
“United States Senate. Wash-
ington, D. C., May 6, 1910.—Mr.
S. L. Russell, Plainyiew, Tex.:
My Dear Sir—I am in receipt of
your letter in which you ask me
the direct question as to whether
in view of recent‘developments in
the contest for the Democratic
mominatina for Governor of Tex-
as and the conflicting claims ol'
some of my friends concerning
my teal feeling toward two of
the candidates engaged in that
contest, I shall take any part,
active or otherwise, in behalf of
Judge Poindexter or Mr. Colquitt,
and it so which of the two it will
be.
“As one ot my constituents,
you have the right to ask me this
question aqd vou are likewise en-
titled to have a frank answer
from me. While I have, owing
to pressing duties in the Senate,
thus tar refrained from entering
into that contest, I have at this
time no hesitancy in answering
your question. No living man
can truthfully assert that I have
ever failed to announce mv posi-
tion upon any matter affecting
the welfare of the people of Tex-
committees, all ot whiwh have
been at work with splendid re-
sults.
The move meets with the
brought rut m.iny fine ej^iibits, hearty approval of all our citi-
aroused much enthusiasm and zens, and the subscriptions have
interest among all classes who been liberal,
took part, and proved profitable J The premium list is now being
to all alike. It is intended Jo prepared and *will be published

I have written no letter which

Bailey’s letter to Mr. Russell was

appears above. It is not

“It is doubtful if I shall feel
called upon to take any active
part in the campaign now in pro-
gress. The tact is well known
that I have heretofore declared
mv personal friendship for Judge
Poindexter, and I would now and
at all times prefer to aid his elec-
tion, but should the progress of
the campaign develop such con-
ditions as would endanger the
election of Judge Poindexter to
such an extent as to render his
defeat morally certain, I would
feel it my duty and the duty of
mv friends in Texas to give un-
divided support to Mr. Colquitt.
Of course, my attitude toward
the other candidates for the
nomination is too well known to
the citizens of Texas to make a
statement with respect to them
iatbe least necessary.
“Candor compels me, however,
to say that while gratitude and
personal considerations strongly
incline me to support Judge Poin-
dexter, Mr. Colquitt’s platform
in so far as it relates to the lead-
ing issue involved in the contest,
Work*—Lull.

It is the good fortune of the
council that whatever it has lost
in the retirement of Judge Works
it has gained in the elevation of
Judge Lusk to the presidency of
that body. It is not often that
the legislative body of any mun-
icipality could afford so great a
contribution to the State and
yet be able to instantl^ repair
from its own membership the
full value of the gift it gave. It
is no less creditable to Judge
Works that Judge Lusk is re-
garded as his fit successor than
ft is creditable to Judge Ltlsk
that he is regarded as possessing
powers ot service to Los Angeles
equal to those all know his pred-
ecessor owned. Here is indeed a
case where Honors are equal.
The Express welcomes the
election ot Judge Robert M.
Lusk to the presidency of the
council with the knowledge of
his capacity, full assurance of
his civic loyalty and a sense of
pride that a period has been
reached in the history of Los An-
geles when its council is so rich
in the character of its members
that it is able to substitute one
president on terms of such per-
fect equality with another. We
count Judge Works and Judge
Lusk thifs to haye been equally
honored.
The council took note of the
fact that its retiring president
had consented to become a candi-
date for United States senator
from this State.

/r~YNE of the best for the farmer who depends
on his merchant for the years supplies Is
to borrow money at a much lower rate than the
merchant is compelled to charge for his goods
in order to protect himself. Nearly all credit
merchants borrow money and the “time” buyer,,
has to pay both rates of interest in the end.
If you are a farmer and need sdme assist-
ance, come in and talk it over with us. We can
show you how and help you to save.

Ladies’ Rest Room

In fitting up our modern banking rooms,
we did not forget our many lady friends.
We want them to know that opposite our
directors room, accessible from front or north
door, there is a neat little rest room furnished
with all toilet necessities, chairs, couch, mir-
ror, comb and brush, writing desk, etc.
We tvant all the ladies of Bonham and
surrounding country, or anywhere else, to
make free use of that room.
Ladies- from the country, after driving
over the dusty roads, will find it a convenient
*place to rest and “slick up” a little before go-
ing out in town.
