THE COALITION rDBA

I0r political purposes was very strong ia
this Section st one time II was thought
that county nominations would be
made In Wise, Montague and Clay. In
the first and last counties the movement

as any representative who has ever been
sent TO Washington from the state.n
The nomination and election OF Senator
Davis to succeed Ttrockmorton is looked
upon as an assured fact In this section.
