Austin. Texas. April 1O.-The following
speech was made by Adolph Boldt last
week In nominating d. w. Mlchaux for
president Texas division, T. p. A.;
Mr.. Chairman, Gentlemen of the Con-
vention and Travelling Men: The
Texas division has. larger membership,
population considered, than any other d.
vision in the Travellers Protective Assoc
citation.
There is more energy and enthusiasm In
the Texas division tnan in any other di-
vision.
The Texas division is the only division
that gives its members page OF TraVei-
ers' Protective Association news every
Sunday in each of the four leading news
papers OF the State.
The railroad and employment commits
tees Of the Texas division have given bet
ter reports at our National conventions
than tho same committees of any other
division.
The Texas division has more orators and
better orators than any other division.
The Texas division has a better State
secretary than any other division.
Tho State presidents of the Texas di-
vision have shown more enterprise and
energy than the presidents of any other
division.
Last. but by no means least. the Texas
division is the only division that offers its
members a life policy, through the Benev-
olent League of Texas Travellers.
My friends, what great forcs has been
the cause of giving us such glorious re-
suits?
It is because we have always elected the
proper men to manage the affairs of our
beloved division,
Again we have assembled to elect our
president and other officers for the COM
ing year.
We ask for man who is capable of ill-
ing the presidential chair with dignity and
justice.
We ask for man of energy and enter
prise. We ask for man who travels over
the State and is known among the trav-
cling men. We ask for a man who IL
affable and capable OF winning friends. We
I ask for man who is parllamentarlan
and a Humanitarian. We ask for man
who is sensible enough to know that the
membership OF our division can not be
increased by passing resolutions az y
Z convention or writing essays for the news
papers. The man who fills all these re-
qulrements with generous measure is ID.
w. Michaux of the Magnolia City.
| | hope that IN honoring him we will Ne
as one heart, one purpose, one faith and
one hope. He has that divine thing called
enthusiasm. which is the very climate Of
success. He knows enough to realize
that energy is the only lever capable OF
raising our division to success. He is as
genial and kind as the month OF Juns.
Kindness is the sunshine in which friend :
ship and humanity grows He is as nat
ural as Heavens blue. with humor kind"
ly as an autumn day.
I My friends. it gives me sincere pleasure
to present for your consideration fol
president the chivalrous. the dauntless,
the affable D. w. MichauX
In conclusion d can only say that
leave the future greatness Of our order,
our division our ambition, our hope, our
all in your hands

When the yang-tse valley was opened

The building OF the Nicaragua canal Will
give us much larger trade In China and
will aid the South. especially Texas. more
than any other section of the United
States. Most OF the cotton mills in the
South are solely supplying the Chinese
trade.
Our cotton trade with China few years
ago did not exceed s2.000.000. This year
cur sales Will be $i2,o00,D0O.
After the completion of the Nicaragua
canal there will be a demand for more
