After the interlude by the band, New

The former Lone Star governor is
best known TO the world at large
through his fight st the railroad corpo-

uader 800 pounds and he stands some
inches above six feet. He proceeded
with voice like the bass Of church

Eepnoiicanism. He began by congratu-

the convention wild. He is one of the

been opened in splendid style State
after State had fallen in line and the
