Terrell, Tex, July 16.--Your report
Saturday night regarding the election
is confirmed. except that Mr.. Reagan
has much larger majority than was
at first expected. This election demon-
strates the fact that political manipu-
lators did not run the election. The
people did the voting and carried their
measures. and had Judge Reagan made
two more speeches In the county his
majority would have been much larger.
A war of words occurred between
Byron Drew, candidate for fioater, and
n few OF our citizens. which brought
John Barnes against him and Barnes
got a good vote simply by those who
wished 10 spite Drew. This vote. how
ever, did not count for much. and Drew
is elected by handsome majority in
the county.

the Mississippi Note Issue.
Washington, July 16.--Chief Hnzen
of the secret service was today ques-
toned as to what action will be taken
by the government in case the gov
ernor OF Mississippi refused TO discon-
tinue. as indicated by this morning y
dispatches, the circulation OF special
warrants In close imitation OF United
States notes. Chief Hazen did not care
TO anticipate a refusal by the governor,
but in case he did 80 the chief said
he could see no other course TO pursue
than to conhscate the plates and AS
many OF the warrants as could be
found These warrants We're of the
exact size OF the treasury or national
bank notes and OF the same general APP
pearance even to the greenbacks and
as the law against making anything
in the similltude OF obligations author
lied by the government was explicit
there was only one thing TO do. and
that was to enforce ii. The question was
brought to the attention Of the bureau
by a Mississippi banker, who stated
that It was evidently the intention TO
make the warrants circulate as money.
OF course the treasury officials do not
question the right of the state to issue
warrants, their only contention being
that the warrants shall not be printed
in initiation of United States notes.
