All Democratic Ohiee Holders WIZ
Have Opposition.

/ Corpus Christi. Tex, Sept. %
Hon James b. Wells, Stale
! Democratic chairman, is still here
and will not go to San Antonio for
some days, certainly not Till after
the Demo cratic Judicial convention
is held here Saturday night. His
hands are full of business pertain
ing to the campaign in the Eleventh
Congressional district and its
minor subdivisions. He maintains
silence to representatives of the
press, and C. C. Pierce, Republican
Chairman of the district follows
his example.
From other reliable sources it
is learned that the simmering sur
face hides scalding broth in the
pot.
The Republicans are in the sad
die for keeps. Only the unfor-
seen will prevent or change the
following program. Henry F.
Hord of Starr VIII oppose Judge
Stanley WEIGH, Democratic nom.
lnee for district Judge. John C.
Scott of .Nueces will try to beat
John 1. Kleiber. Democratic NOM
inee for district attorney, and the
Republican senatorial convention to
meet in LAREDO next week will put
up some doughty candidate TO
camp on to Mcneil Turner's trail.
Just who will be fixed upon is not
determined. Failing TO pursuade
z. B. Rentfro of Cameron, the
choice remains between G. c.
Pierce of Nueces snd James 0.
Luby Of Duvai.
Thos. W Dodd of Webb. J. r.
Munree of Starr aud ". j. Russell
of Cameron, the three river Dem
ocratic candidates or the LegiSla-
ture, will each have opposition
from the Republican party The
Republican candidates in each in
stance is not yet selected except in
the case of Weeb county and his
name could not be learned.
The Republican campaign man
ayers boast of the possession of
ample funds and promise an ag-
yressive fight, not so much with
he hope of electing the gentleman
named, as to effectualIy line mp
md discipline the voters in the
interest Of Crouch for Congress.
n furtherance of the same plan
n Nueces county a full independent
ieket for county officers is promis
d next week to oppose the present
who are all Democrats.
