considerable interest oenters in the
congressional contest. which is
however. placed beyond the doubtful
point by good round majority. Chair
man DR.. NJ. L. Graves, OF the campaign
committee, has received the last and
complete statements from each county.
and is enabled today to make what he
believes Is an accurate estimate OF the
result.
The Gazette correspondent this morn
Ing solicited a statement from Or.
Graves and the latter said:
THE congressional campaign. Just
closing. is interesting from several
standponts
i. 1T has been n straight fight be-
tween Democrats and Populists. The
latter have been unusually active and
aggressive all over the district. AR
Barber and his cohorts have deliber-
ately misrepresented issues and vainly
attempted TO augment the Populits
vote by charging the pnst and present
business depression and the low price OF
cotton to Democratic law. In addition
TO these charges, they have circulated
false and misleading circulars attack
ing Pendleton's record as acting COVER
nor in the use OF the pardoning power.

Republicans would none Of the Populist

speakers out to arouse negro prejudice
by attributing the Texas school law,
