Marshall Surratt. chairman of the
central campaign committee of Nc
Lehman county talks encouragingly of
bright prospects for the Democracy.
In fact, no apprehension is felt at
all over the result and the only mat
ter of speculation is how large the
majority will be.
's'The committee receives encouraging
reports every day." he remarked. from
various precinct chairmen all over the
county. SO far as we can learn, there
is now no appreciable difference be-
tween the relative strength of the Pop
ullst and Democratic parties of two
years ago. In many of the
precincts there is not much
disposition to organize, as the
farmers are all very busy at
tending to their crops, and Invariably
in such Instances, the reply comes
in answer to the committees request
to organize directed to the precinct
chairman. What Is the use?' All of
the people in this neighborhood are
Democrats and Will vote the ticket
anyway. The Popullsts, II there are
any here, cannot be found.
''Everywhere | go / find the farm
ers too busy to take much stock in
politics, and when you see man in
the country who Will not stop work
to talk politics, you can feel pretty
sure that he viii not vote the Populist
ticket"
Mr. Surratt says the campaign COM
mittee will have charge of the ar
rangements for the speaking by Gov
ernor Hogg tomorrow night, There will
be no brass bands or other expensive
adjuncts on the occasion, as funds are
not plentiful for such purposes. He
will be met at the depot by the CAM
palgn committee. or a delegation APP
pointed by the committee. and escorted
to the hotel, where he will be enter
tanned by local Democrats, prominent
citizens and others.
In towns and precincts where Demo-
cratic clubs have been organized. and
wherever there ARE any Popullsts, there
Is Democratic club, a vigorous cam
paign is being prosecuted.
l.. p. Fields of Bruceville, chairman
of the county Democratic executive
committee, says: 1.-THE Populists are
weakening every day in our end of
the county and the indications are that
there will be considerable falling off
in their ranks shown when the re-
turns come In from the election next
month. The Democracy Is strictly in
the SWIM is presenting a solid front
and will continue to do So" Mr.. Fields
says the campaign committee is doing
most OF the active work, little of
which. however, is needed In view of
the harmonious spirit which, prevails
In the party. the maicontents being
very few In number.
