DR.. G. W. MARSHALL'S
CUBERNATORIAL BEE
snecIal % lne E,enInr Ionrnal.


Milford, May 24.-Right here in the
home of all kinds of state and county
official possibilities, there is much po-
litical talk now being INDUCED in. For
instance, it is even being said on the
street that DR. George w. Marshalrs
desire for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton is not being considered very seri-
ously outside of his immediate circle of
friends in this place. There is no
doubt but what the doctor wants to
be governor, but then Addicksites all
up and down the state are opposed.
Someone has found out that he could
not poll as full a vote as some other
men, and too, there are some other
people who do not live this far down
the state who are aspiring for the gov
ernors chair.
II was said a little while back that
Dr. Marshall was hedging a little. That
he had not been talking about Addicks
as much as the Addicksites thought he
should have done, and was forgetting
to count the beads Of his factional
string. He was talking about harmony,
and how this and that could be done
was in reality appealing TO the people
for support Of his candidacy. This may
have been noised abroad, and, if so,
is quite likely responsible for the en-
deavors being made TO get him to for
get his ambitions, this once anyway.
Frank Reedy, who four yca.s, agu
was defeated for sheriff, will no doubt
be nominated for that Office by The
Addicks convention. John Ross, who
has been a Democratic collector and re-
ceiver OF taxes for this hundred for sew
eral years, expects to be nominated by
his party, and If he is. will make a
hard fight for the place. Frank Dicker-
son is seeking the Democratic nomina-
tiOn for sheriff against Ross.
There are other seekers after office
here, John Minner, mayor of Cullen
town wants to be coroner, and so does
James McCaffrey. Both are confident
though McCaffrey has the odds OF
nomination in his favor These are
Bryan Dmeocrats.

Everybody's Magazine for June Is
full of that sort OF literature that is
easy 20 read and hard to forget The
skillful admixture of information with
interest. which is Characteristic OF the
articles in this magazine is shown at
its best.
The Simple Explanation of the
month is entitled electricity and
Some other Puzzles The author dis
claims at the outset any intention of
explaining" what electricity is. for he
says no explanation has yet been given.
But he talks breezily along about the
latest theories in regard TO il and when
the reader finishes he will have a very
good idea of what it is thought to be
as we'll as a pretty clear understanding
of the hypothesis that concern light
heat. gravitation and the atomic ant
molecular construction of matter.
"The Actor on The Road" is a mos
amusing description of the trials anC
triumphs of road company. II Il
written by a manager of such compan
les who prefers to keep mis- name secret
alleging as a reason that he has thii
"hrst chance to tell some of the pro
fession with safety what he thinks o
them"
! The fiction is plentiful and good, con
sisting of the short, snappy, readabl
stories of which the magazine makes
speciality.

THE LITERARY WORLD

The issue Of Golfers Weekly for May
90. 10 strongly tinctured with a polit-
ical flavor which makes II an admirable
preliminary to the two conventions
at Philadelphia and Kansas City. The
special article by Senator Frye Of
Maine. Is a clarified summary of loglsla-
ton for which the ffty-sixth Congress
Is repOnsible. Senator Frye's position
as president of the Senate gives this
article an ex cathedra tone that is most
convincing. No other man In the
United States is qualified to prepare so
moderate and unbiased a synopsis OF
ihe Winters legislation. The idea of
political activity is further carried out
