men. all of whom are legal voters, were
congregated in front of one of the bust
ness houses yesterday and were dis
cussing the gubernatorial situation.
One gentleman suggested that vote
of the party be polled as to their choice
for governor. The result was that Rea-
gan received fifteen votes out OF the
eighteen, and the remaining three were
for Culberson.
Judge Reagan is gaining ground and
making new converts every day. The
Lanham men are changing to the Rea-
gan side. as well as Il good many Gull
berson men. That the Judge will carry
this box next Saturday his friends
have not any doubt.
Tom Bean. small town northwest Of
here. Is conceded to Reagan. Reports
say that he has a chance to carry Sher-
man. His friends here are confident
of his carrying the county. While the
Culberson men claim as much for their
man. they are showing signs of rest
lessness. and are making desperate
effort to secure the county for Culber-
son. The present indications are, how
ever. In Reagan's favor.
Hon. Horace Chiffon, candidate for
United States senator, spent the day
here yesterday interviewing the voters
and driving over the city. He made u
favorable impression here.
Tulley A. Fuller, candidate for attor-

vorably spoken OF by number of the
