MILLS WANTS PRIMARIES.
Will Request That They he Hell
Next LulN.


Next July.
Corsicana Texas, November 14-Now that
Senator Mills announces himself as being
in favor of a primary election, the demo-
cratic people will have an opportunity of
selecting their next United States senator
by direct vote. Reagan favors the pri-
mary system and so does Culberson. This
race is going to stir up the politicians from
one side of the State to the other. Mills
asks THAI the primaries be held in July
He does this that he may have an o>por-
tunity of Smelling the woods after his con
gressional duties are done and no doubt
the executive committee will give him that
opportunity. Mills is a fighter and there
is no opponent IN Texas he fears ON the
stump. and doubtless his record will af-
ford him much the advantage before the
people on National issues with the excep-
tion OF his position on the money question
last year before the conventions met. The
senator is good harmonizer as we'll as q
fighter, and he may be able to make all
conditions the eternal fitness of things.

Letter From Representative Lotto.

To the Editor Of The Post.
New Ulm, Texas, November 14.--In
answer to the speculations Of your Hemp
stead correspondent of November 10 In
today's Post, regarding the preference of
Austin county for United States senator,
l like to say this: Mills, Culberson and
Reagan all having friends in our county.
the vote for senator will be referred 10
the primaries, and whoever runs as demo-
crat for the legislature from Austin county
will abide by their decision, unless that
decision be contrary to the opinions and
wishes of Mr.. w. A. Trenckmann, editor
of the Bellville Wochenblatt, and those
of his friends, in which latter case they
may make another record for boiling. 1t is
hardly probable that in that case, on a
mere issue OF personal preference, they
will find much love in Austin county. The
people of Austin county will not go into
a serious split on a matter OF personal
preference, either for Nils or for Culber-
son, merely out OF sympathy with Mr..
Trenckmann's boiling tendencies Besides,
there may be found in earlier ISSUES Of
the Beliville Wochenblatt paragraphs.
praising and defending Mr.. Culberson and
also these attacking and blaming Mr.. Mills.
AS editor of German paper. Mr.. Trenck-
mann wields great Influence over The
Germans, by no means to be underestimate
ed. At the same time, he himself claims
that no man carries the German vote In
his vest pocket, and / believe he himself
makes in that regard no exception.

How Princess Victoria Was Told OF
Her Chance OF Succession.
. Many interesting stories OF the Girl
hood Days Of England S Queen are told
in an article in st. Nicholas, written by
James Cassidy. Mr.. Classify quotes the
following from a letter written to the
queen by her former governess, Bar
oness Lehzen: t.s IA E5
II ask your majesty leave to cite some
remarkable words Of your majesty
when only IL years old, while the re-
gency bill was still in progress. then
said to the duchess of Kent that now
for the first time your majesty ought to
know your place in the succession. Her
royal highness agreed with me, and
put the genealogical table into the his
torical book. When DR.. Davys (the in
structor of the princess and afterwards
bishop of Peterborough was gone, the
princess again opened the book, as
usual, and, noticing the additional pa
per, said: II never saw that before .
ut was not thought necessary you
should, princess I answered.
II see I am nearer the throne than
I thought"
$50 it is, madam" said. :.
After some moments, the princess re-
sumed: "Now, many child would
boast, but they do not know the diff
Guilty. There is much splendor, but
much responsibility" =
The princess having lifted up the fore
finger Of her little hand saying: 81 will
be good, dear .Lehzen, will be good,''
then said: 'But your Aunt Adelaide
is still young, and may have children;
and, of course, they will ascend the
throne after their father William W.,
and not you, princess"
The princess answered: "And, if that
were so, should never feel disappoint-
ed, for I know, by the love Aunt AIDE
laide bears for me, how fond she is OF
children"
