Kosse, May l2-Monta j. Moore,
OF Cameron. candidate for congress,
from the Seventh district, opened
his canvess. here today, speaking to
large audience. After being in.
troduced, Mr. Moore said:
Fellow-citizens- though this is
my first visit to your thrifty little
city, | do not feel that | come an
utter stranger among strangers
The greater part of my life has
been spent in neighboring
county. The good old county of
Milan was my birth place, it has,
with but slight lapse, ever been
my home and will, doubtless, be-
come my sepulcher. A native of
Texas, have refused to conclude
that | am not entitled to enjoy the
same prerogatives vouchsafed to
her adopted sons, and with the CON
hdence and friendship Of the neigh
bors, who have known me from the
cradle to this good hour, as per-
nit, | have come to initiate cam
paign for the suffrages of the Dem
ocrats of the Seventh district for
seat in the congress of the United
States. If you should place your
standard in my hands, while | may
not, shall not plant it upon the
heights of renown it has possessed
in the passed, yet, by the commits
sion of confidence hold from my
neighbors, by the fertile valleys and
rolling prairies of this district, by
the sacred soil of my native state,
by the Creator of all things and the
Heavens that bend above us, |
pledge you that to the best of my
ability will | carry it, and shall re-
turn it to you unspotted by trucu.
lency, unsullied by subselv ncy,
and untarnished by cowardice and
disgrace-wherever your wishes
may direct, if l shall know them,
wherever your interests lie, if
can see them, wherever my con
science and judgment may approve,
there, if my strength does not fail
me, will carry your standard
though the. East may threaten, q
president scowl, CT the "Heavens
fall"
In going before the eople of this
district for this high Office / desire
to lay open to them as completely
as it is possible to do go, frankly
and unreservedly, my views upor
public matters and the course
shall pursue in case may be elected
to represent them in the next con
gress. l want the Democrats Of
this district to know exactly what
my opinions are when they choose
their standard bearer. have nc
hesitation in saying that l want te
go to congress, and after the people
find out how l stand, if l suit them
why, then there is trade. If l dc
not properly appreciate the condi
tion of the country and am not il
harmony with the majority of the
Democrats of this district in thu
legislation that should be enacted
then l am frank to say that l an
not the proper person to be commits
stoned to guard the interests anG
welfare of our people in the mex
congress. If my opponen
is in more perfect touch will
the majority of the Democrats Of
this district than myself, then clear
ly he should be elected.
HARMONY AMONG DEMOCRATS.
AS a member of the Democratic
state executive committee, and hon
ored with place on the conference
committee, which arranged the basis
of agreement, l used my best en-
deavor TO bring about harmony il
the party and heartily approve the
agreement entered into at Dallas
In the last campaign no man, l dare
assert, labored more zealously thar
myself to secure the election of the
ticket headed by Governor james
s. Hogg, but after the war wa,
over and the issues of the campaign
