HoGG AND CLARK FACTIONS

Nothing OF marked Importance has
been developed al the political hoad-
quarters in this city in the last twenty
four hours, though at all is an air of
thorough business.
At the Clark headquarters Chairman
Matlock had many callers yesterday,
those most prominent being Messrs. S.
Z. Padellord and 5. w. Webster OF Gle
burne, Frank Joseyaud Of Josevand,
Texas, and j. c. Rosenhurough OF
Brentwood, chairman OF the county
executive committee OF Brown county.
Mr.. Padeliord has been speaking tho
past week at various points on the line
OF the Fort Worth and Rio Graude rail-
way and he expresses it rs his candid
opinion that there is steady gain for
Clark at all points along the line. He
spoke at Stephenyille Wednesday night,
aud the house was filled TO Overlooking
by the substantial people Of the county.
This is but a sample, he says, OF the at
tention that is drawn TO the public adj
dresses in the interest Of Judge Clark's
candidacy.
Mr. Padelford speaks at Weatherford
this evening,
Mr. Roseborough said the Clark sem
timeut was enjoying Il very healthy
growth in Brown county. Wednesday
night a club was organized with over
200 members and they were sure Of
large additions by the next meeting,
for each member took list with a
pledge to strive to bring at least three
new names TO the next meeting, and Il
was expected this increase could easily
be made.
Chairman Motlock requested that the
statement be published as general
answer to many letters inquiring II
there were any losses reported because
the Republicans would or had endorsed
Clark. Mr.. MatlOck said no losses had
been reported; on the contrary, the
Clark cause had been strengthened tC
the extent Of 100, 900 votes by the rec
ommendation Of the Republican con
vendon, aud as votes were wanted q
decide this contest there was no reason
why there should be any loss, and II
fact there had been none.
Replying TO a question about loca
losses. the case Of Mr. Lewis, Of tn,
Sixth ward, who gave his adhesion 10 {
