WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-The Republican
congressional committee will food the
country with tiarlng posters showing the
figure of a man addressing the house.
For McKinley's district the motto Is
"American labor, American capital,
American BALLOT They are making a
last strenuous effort to defeat
Breckenridge in Arkansas. The
posters for this campaign show
the same figure and the words, "Ballot-
box stufBng, murder, intimidation, -
appear at the bottom. The committee is
sending out tons of documents every
day. Clarkson is on still hunt for
money, and is going to make
trip to the moneyed centers of
the East and West. Wanamaker
has already come down with $50, 900.
GARRISON is to be rewarded by being
given the Chinese mission. The COM
mittee are resorting to every possible
devise to capture the next house.
They figure 1913 districts sure, fifty-three
doubtful, or 1852. They need 1877 for
majority. They also say there are
tweuty-four Democratic districts in
which they have lighting chance. They
will do anything and everything to get
the house. Already Reed in his Con-
necticut speeches is predicting Republic
can victory, but he reckons without his
hosi.
AN ANTI-CoMMIss1oN MAN.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
NACoGDoCHEs, TEX, Oct. 3.-The
representative convention which met at
Lufkin Yesterday has just completed its
labors, resulting in the nomination of
Hon. E. B. Lewis of Nacogdoches for
representative in the next legislature.
The fight was between Nacog-
doches and Angelina counties.
Nucogdoches in her county convention
instructed her delegates TO vote for A.
J. Murphy OF this county for representa-
tive, which entitled him TO the nominal
ton, as this county has an exact two
thirds majority when voting solidly. In
order to defeat the Murphyites some of
the delegates who were opposed TO him
did not 20 the convention at all but sent
proxies, and the proxy delegates went in
with Angelina For tue defeat of Murphy
and 30 locked the convention that they
had TO groom the dark horse, hich
proved to be Lewis, who was nominated
by acclammatiou. This will give uui-
versal satisfaction to all parties, for all
admit his superiority over any other tim
Der offered. The funny part comes in,
that Lewis is an avowed apti-commission
man, and anti-Hogg also, while both of
these counties are overwhelmingly for
Hogg and the commission. ''Hcgg may
plant and commission may water, but it
takes a convention to give the increase. -
All of the commission men are satisfied
xrif nd ha 10
niZed as being q very conscientious man,
aud will be of more general worth to this
district than any candidate offered.

cratic primaries to choose a nominee for

precincts held an election, owing to the
opposition of the county committee,
which refused to recognize the call on
the district chairman ordering same.
FLANAGAN AT PARIS.
Special to the Gazette.
PARIS, TEX. Oct. 4.-Web Flanagan,
Republican candidate for governor, made
u two hours speech this evening to
moderately good audience. He directed
his remarks to the San Antonio plat

the com mission amendment to the con-
stitution. He advocates state aid to q
Confederate home, separate railway
coaches for whites and blacks, and de-
nounced the force bill in plain, I'M
mistakable terms. His speech was we'll
received by all, though it will hardly
make any change in existing political
matters.
