There is something wonderfully

John NJ. Palmer's candidacy Is based
on the above principle. He has been

more than a reform. lis a revolution,

The United States Senate must be

were to be represented, as an organiza-

checks and balances, it has ceased to

that was assigned to IT Many OF its
members represent States no longer.
They VIGOROUSLY represent railroads,
mines, forests, mills and commercial
combinations. Elected by the use Of
money, they do not recognize any pop

and purchased In Tom Green county. on
the I.ipan Hat, about ten miles south
east of San Angelo, the former section
and thres-eights, the latter a section of
land. Last week Mr.. Tangemann came
again TO San Angelo. He was Rc-
companied by two other Nebraska Ger
mans. Messrs. Wilhelm Becker and
August lleinke, who purchased each
section of land joining the land bought
before by Mr.. Tangemsnn. That same
week they were followed by Mr.. Julius
Hover, ST., and Mr.. Julius Hover, Jr.

negotiating for q similar investment.
Negotiations are also pending with eight
otner Iuwa or Nebraska Germans, soon
expecte6 here. These men are bound
Immediately to improve the tract of
twelve sections or more they will own in
the aggregate. Next year there will be
several large wheat fields. How we'll the
land is adapted for wheat is evidenced by
the following fact: Joining it is an i'm
proved farm of Mr.. Jones'. Notwrth-
standing the partial failure of the grain
crop universally experienced this year,
his wheat yielded twenty-seven bushels
per acre. Most of the German-AmerI-
cans above mentioned will settle on their
respective farms. A few will build resi-
dences on lots purchased at San Angelo

Is also movement on foot among these

The Ennis cotton compress has handled
over 80, 900 bales of cotton SO far this

that 1t was the leader of the prohibition

Mr.. NJ. G. HURLEY seems to have mis-
abiding to hun as the obstacle to the
Albuquerque construction. TIE GA
zETTE did not say that Mr.. Hurley 3 ex-
penditures and work on the road were to
prevent its construction-that would be
idiocY. THE GAZETTE meant that had
Mr.. Hurley not undertaken to build the
road when he did, others more able,
financially, to build the road would
have undertaken the job. In answer 10
this Mr.. Hurley assures THE GAZETTE
that before he undertook the job word
was sent to those who were reported to
be in the field that If they had a propo-
sition to submit he would present it-but
they said they were not ready.
Therefore, when Mr.. Hurley undertook
the construction, there was no one else
in the field. Mr.. Hurley also in for ma
THE GAZETTE that he was assured he
could get his money out of the Albu-
querque, but that he declined to sell I'M
less the purchasers would bind them
selves not to "tie up' the road. These
facts are stated in justice to Mr.. Hurley,
as THE GAZETTE has no desire to do iu-
justice to anyone; but it must have re-
quired q great stretch of imagination on
the part of Mr.. Hurley's friends to think
that the money and work put on the Al
buquerque by him were intended to pre-
vent the building of the road.
