CrARKsyu.LE, Tx, May 20 AN arti
Gle appeared IN the Paris Tribune OF yes
terday stating that the Knights OF Labor
here had indorsed the action OF the Farm
] era, alliance OF Red River county In nom.
/ mating Col. Charles Demorse for gov
ernor. Inasmuch as the article Is caicu-
lated, as IL was probably intended, TO IN
lure Col. Swain here, In his county, THE
GAZETTE correspondent wishes TO cor
rect the impression The alliance OF this
county has not nominated anyone loi
governor. He has 1t upon the authority
OF the secretary Of the county alliance
and of half dozen other members, that
the name OF no candidate has ever at any
time been mentioned in the alliance Tor
goyeruorship. II Is well known here that
secret circular gotten up by sore heads,
old enemies Of Swain and would-be pol
itlciaus OF this county has been scattered
broadcast TO the alliances over the state
in the past few days, purporting to be
from the alliance here, and recommending
Col. Demorse for governor In preference
TO Swain. The Knights OF Labor last
night adopted resolution that the state
mont published In the Paris Tribune that
they had nominated Demorse for governor
was unauthorized

BOWIE, TEX, May 20 The withdrawal
of Judge G. G. Potter from the congress
sional race virtually leaves the entire
district solid for Hon. A. l.. Matlock.
There Is no doubt but what Mr.. Matlock
will make the race, and his friends
throughout the entire district are ready
70 support him. His marked ability la
the celebrated Seventeenth legislature
and bis energy has made him many
friends. His faithfulness to the Demo
cratic party dutlng the dark days OF u. j.
Davis administration deeply impressed
the people OF the state, and especially
the masses in this district. This Is one
reason why he is entitled to the Hon. j.
w. Throckmorton's seat In congress, and
should he announce for the office his
election will be certainty.
