Holland, Tex. May 17.--Your corre-
suondent in order to ascertain the trend
OF Democratic sentiment IN the town
and surrounding community, interview
ed a few of the leading Democrats
and below YOU viii hear what they
have to say:
II, n. Miller, station agent: am
no politician. but you can put me
down as favoring culberson for gov
ernor. am tired OF this Clark Hogg
row. We ought to have harmony Nv
an means maintain true Democratic
principles. Yes, sir. | am a free coin-
age man. We need more moneS, gold.
silver and paper. and want Coke's
successor whoever he may be 10 have
hberal ana pronounced views On the
money question.

NOT man In Texas that would come
nearer Milling the measure fer senator

primaries am sorely tired OF this
riding the fence" and when we flud
such men as Reagan We should honor
them ! want to see harmony In the
party, but should not make any sac
fihoe of principle for the sake OF har-
mony.
c, II. Lockhart. bookkeeper: Cuiber-
son for governor, and II IL would not
be getting too many from one family.
"Old Dave" FOR the senate think
the only way to settle the silver ques-
ton would be by international agree
ment. My understanding OF the har-
mony agreement is that no one will
be admitted to the primaries unless
he supported Cleveland in the last
election. provided, however, he had an
opportunity of doing so.
w. 5. Reed, banker: For senator
am for shepard. If he wants the place
We need no such man as John Rea-
gan for governor. Cleveland Is en-
tirely right on the money question.
and In my opinion he will solve the
question TO the entire satisfaction OF
all Democrats.
j. f. Anninch, farmer: | favor Chill
ton for the senate, and have not fully
decided who would best suit me for
governor. Reagan Is all right, but do
not know whether he would have the
place or not.
James Pearce, farmer; Chiffon for
the senate, because We Know he IL all
right on the silver question. and John
Reagan for governor. We do not need
any straddlers, and the men have
