err, Frank Jordan, from the race put
am glad 10 know thsre IS one repre-
sentative Texan who will be the sue
cessor OF the noble Jordan ana that Is
Howard W. Peak.
We'll do ! remember the day In 1873
when this Texas boy started as COM
mercinl traveller on horseback out OF
the city where tho panther lay down.
Wen do remember the hardships or

but on tho banks OF some stream or
on the broad prairie, where he could
get "A nice place to stake out his horse,
make d fire and cook II meal from pro-
visions carried In his saddle pockets

these were scarce. Howard w. Peak
has stood all of these hardshlps and
still remains In the ranks of the com
mercinl travellers today.
Now, Mr.. Editor n my friend How
nrd w. Penk pulls the plum, the Fort
Worth Gazette will be proud Of It's rep
resentative abroad. He will not only
talk OF the Fort, but will represent
Texas on a broad Enuge. such as Is due
the glorious Lone Star state. Fellow
travellers. send Howard W. Peak
abroad and he will do credit to tho
body OF TcXns commercial travellers.
SO let us ali put our shoulders 10 tho
wheel and send this illustrious Texas
commercial traveller across the water
Sixteen votes for Howard W. Peak.
Yours truly, r, i. FARMER.
