Judge Reagan has not been much in political life
lie was in the lower branch of the Lcgslatirs nj
1919 and has since the expiration OF his term hHodi

Col B. Rus1 WALLACE, OF San augustine, is likely
to BIO another candidate. Col walhce has served the
Republic and State of Texas in many high public po
stons, was for several terms member Of Congress,
Of the former, and Legislature of The latter In both
bodies he ever took leading potion He was
candidate for u s. Congress, in tbs District at tho
time that Hon. R. scurry, eleced, if we mistake
not lie is ine specman of Virginia gentle
man., holding tenacousy to the Virginia school of
politics and if there is any better school we are not
aware of it) He believes religiouy in the resolu-

political facts and information width he is ever ready
to exhibit with the skill and readiness of profession
al salesman Col. Wallace is man of fine dgnifed
personal appearance, ready pleasant DICTATOR and
would make us creditable Senator.
