The friends of Henry Giles state that
they are in the Company b lieutenancy
campaign to win. Their candidate is
first class man with a record made
right here in the n. G. H. and his
hackers will spare no effort to gain
him commission. Mr.. Giles is a
young man. but has seen considerable
service and is well known to all. Mr..
Needham is customs official who has
been in the U. S. A., but who was in
the old Rifles before. He but recently
returned to the islands.
Private p H. Foster, one of the can
didates. says of himself: 81 was edu-
Gated at the A and NJ college of Texas
(the state military schooD and at
tanned the rank of senior captain,
standing at the head of the class of
military instruction during my entire
term. The college is modelled entirely
upon West Point, the same discipline
and regulations obtaining, although
the military studies are not carried so
far as at the Point. Lieut.. J. S. Nal
lory Second Lieut.. Company b, First
Ingantry, U. S. AZ was our command
ant and instructor of military tactics.
After leaving college enlisted in
Company, First Regiment, Texas Vol
unteer Guard. AS a sergeant in that
company I won the individual prize
for the best drilled soldier at the Paris
(TeNas) Interstate drill, a gold medal
which | have with me now. At the
same time I won the championship of
the United States, defeating the win
ner of the National Drill at Washing
ton, d. c. l was shortly afterward
promoted to the second lieutenancy of
the Company which position I held
until my retirement, the Company re-
fusing to accept my resignation and
retiring me with my full rank.
Capt. Mccarthy, Company d, will
soon leave for visit to the Coast. He
will be gone only few weeks.
A proposal to have an individual
drill competition after the company
competitive contest on January II has
been suggested. Another suggestion
is sham battle. Some military men
object to making so much of an "all
day" of it.
