SPOKE AT PILOT POINT.
Special to the Gazette.
PILOT POINT, TEX, June 28.-The
town of Pilot Point is overrun with can
didates. The stately young statesman
from Denton, Hon. A. G. Owsley talked
eloquentiy of the railroad commission
and how he stood with the people, ready
to spend and be spent for them. He de-
clared that while he trained with Gen.
Clark during the prohibition fight they
took negroes, Republicans, what not into
the non-partisan fold, and that all men
who were opposed to prohibition we're
good men regardless of race, color or
previous condition of servitude; but now
George was trying to play the same game
we worked so successfully then, but he
would fail. The boys at the forks of the
creek were against him, and Hogg and
hominy were bound TO win.
Hon. Henry A. Finch of Collin coun-
ty. made pretty speech, in which he
told the dear people he was with them,
and also that he favored the election OF
IN
represent Collin and Denton counties.
We think he is certain of election unless
some one comes out against him.
Hon. Doggett of Collin, candi-
date for fioater from Collin
|, and Denton counties, discussed
in his own lucid way the great
questions that agitate the public mind.
| He WAS for Hogg and a commission or
anything else that majority of the peO-
pie want.
County candidates are also numerous.
