Park will be ably represented, as she
should De. We have not heard that the
Commercial club has elected delegates to
this convention as yet and would suggest
that the matter be attended to a. once
The bill calls for broad-gauged, liberal
minded citizens, and that sizes up our peo-
pie exactly Iowa Park Texan.
Fort Worth has taken the lead and is 60

infuse into the veins Of Texas nosS5acllism

OF course it IS not expected that our NUM-
cipal authorities will even postpone meet
ing to attend this important matter, but our
progressive committee should also meet and
appoint representatives that will represent
Us in creditable manner. Let US, by all
means, send q large and representative del

necessarily be Of gigantic proportions and

Mexico has pledged an exhibit for the
Worlds fair, and spoken for grounds. But
the short-sighted statesmen OF Texas, kept
in awe by the resolutions OF the short
sighted Farmers Alliances, made no appro-
priation. European states viii be there
but not Texas, unless unofficially and by
private contributions. Central American
states will be there, our Western states
will be there, few of our Southern states
will be there, but not Texas. Texas
threatened to make no appropriation if the
force bill We're passed the force bill was
not passed, and Texas made no appropria-
ton. Let US not be afflicted with an extra
session OF that legislature. and let US not
increase the pay OF representatives till the
representatives have earned an increase
