tide against the Clebune man This Is
denied by the Sayers people, who appear

Wynne movement as the friends Of any
other candidate The Wynne people laugh
when told their candidates Dallas boom
was started by Manager l.. j. Foster, and
usrally reply. Whoever started it made
good job OF it,
The greatest activity Is always apparent
at Crane headquarters. A force of several
stenographers are kept busy all the time
and much literature and many personal let
tiers are being sent out. A great many
visitors call daily and are warmly well
coined. Both Manager Ramsey and Secre-
tary Senter are supremacy confident of
General Cranes nomination.
Colonel L. l.. Foster who is fostering
the gubernatorial interests of Congressman
Savers, will devote the greater part of his
time during the campaign to the Dallas
headquarters. He will visit Austin occa-
sionally, but nearly all the work done at
the capital will be directed by Colonel
House and Secretary Jameson. Colonel
Foster is expected TO return to Dallas
Tuesday.
Hon. Mann Trice, candidate for attor-
ney general. arrived home last night from
tour over several counties In the inter
est of his candidacy. He is looking we'll
pleased and appears very confident or sue

Mr.. Trice's Dallas friends are active and
enthusiastic in their support of his candi-
dacy and will attend the Galveston conven-
ton in large numbers to shout and pull
for their favorite. The big Dallas county |
delegation will vote as II unit for him tn |
a nomination is made. His friends at home |
believe his chances for victory are very
bright.

touched the boiling point. has there been
half so much political gossip and excite
ment here us at present In addition to
the very warm contest that will be waged
in Dallas county over State offices and the
red hot municipal campaign now pending
is added list OF struggles for county Or
ices that are growing bitter and intense.
For the various city and county officers
there are nearly 200 applicants. Each. IN
his own particular way, IS adding fuel TO
the flame. The result can be easily mag
lned.
