touch. with business men of the towns
and cities.
State Senator w. w. Turney, OF E
Paso, has also been prominently men
toned as a possible candidate against
Ssyers, and he may be induced to make
the race.
Sayers was elected by the business
element of the state, who believed he
was the proper man to bring about a
change of the ruinous conditions that
existed in the state during the ad-
ILLUSTRATIONS of Hogg and Culberson.
1t is charged by these business men
that instead of following the policy of
conservatism in his legislative recon-
mendatiops he has outdone both Hogg
and Culberson and that the state is
now suffering from the effects of a COM
mercial blight which it will take many
years to remedy. They cite the anti
trust law and the omnibus tax bill as
samples of Sayers's work.
The tax bill is going to be made the
principal issue in the forthcoming
campaign and it is predicted that the
opponents of that measure will win out
by large majority. The bill was d.
rected not only at corporations, but st
the farmers as we'll, and in the thickly
populated agricultural section of the
state the opposition to its ruinous pro-
visions is unanimous.

OLD FiDDLEQS' CARNIVAL.
Preparations BY Ex-Confederates
OF Dallas Are Well Under Way.

The ex-confederates OF Dallas county
have about matured plans for a fd-
dlers' carnival to be held in Dallas on
the and of A pril, which they hope will
surpass any similar exhibition in the
south. 1t is said that every one ofthese
contests or carnivals has been highly
successful. At Gallatin, Tenn, over
1000 people were present, and nearly
all the leading officials in the state
from governor down. The Commercial
Travellers association, of ST. Louis,
made their fddlers' contest one to be
long remembered. The liberality of
the merchants of ST. Louis was unex-
ampled. They contributed numerous
presents. At Breu ham and Paris in
this state these contests won decided
successes, there not being room to seat
the crowds. The following is the pro-
gram for the Dallas carnival:

WAR BEGUN
ON SAVERS
Business Men And Farmers
Aroused Against Him
STATE-SENATOR TURNKEY,
Prominently Mentioned As Can
didate Against Savers For the
6oVernorship.

An Austin, Tex, dispatch to the st.
Louis Globe Democrat says: The forth
coming democratic campaign in Texas
is going to be q badly mixed up affair.
The senatorial contest between Hor-
ace Chiffon aud J. w. Bailey will
probably be overshadowed in interest
by the contest for governor and other
state officers.
The nti-administration element OF
the Democratic party began fornulat-
ing plans for bringing out a candidate
against Gov. Sayers several months
ago. While the name of the opposi-
ton candidate has not yet been an
nounced, it is given out on good
authority that he will be placed in the
field in ample time to capture the
primaries and beat Ssyer's renomina-
ton for governor.
Several names have been prominent
ly entioned in connection with the
Office by the anti-admiDistration forces,
among them being former United
States Senator Roger Q. Mills aud
Judge A. W. Terrell, former United
States minister to Turkey. Senator
Mills has stated positively that he
would not accept the nomin alton for
governor If it should be rendered him.
Judge Terrell is said to be a passive
candidate for the Office. He is strongly
opposed to Sayers and would like to
defeat him for second term.
Those who are managing the anti
administration movement claim that
Terrell lacks strength with the masses
of the people of the state, and that a
man must be found who is in thorough

Should the court at chihuahua there

zales it is likely that the case will
then be at 40 send. unless indeed her
present lawyer, Lie. Jose M. Gandara,

Farland Recital

Perhaps the strongest indorsemen'
an artist can receive is a return
date
Farland, the baujoist, has given
seven recitals at Louisville, KY, with
in four seasons; five at Little ROCK,
Ark, within two seasons; four in San
Francisco within two seasons, and in
nearly all thu large cities and many
of the smaller ones Farland Recital
Read what the Louisville Post had to
say of this artist after one of his re-
citals there: ''Perhaps nothing that
has been said OF this young genius 60
tersely and yet so adequately oe-
scribes his playing as the title, Pa
derewski of the Baojo.' His tech
nique Is marvellous. But there is some
thing about his playing that is even
more to be admired than his execu-
poetic interpretation of some OF the
worlds masterpieces, the deiicacy OF
feeling that leads to 6elicacy OF touch
and tone, the revelation OF q
fine artistic temperament and
the ability to touch the
heart as we'll as appeal to the mind,
that makes Mr.. Farland's playing of
such a high degree of artistic excel
lence. To hear him play Is to hear
ID usic, not merely d SUCCESSFUL VI hou-
ual gymnastics, but music in the high
est meaning of the word. Among the
most mastery of his renditions were
the exquisite Schubert 'Serepade,' the
dresmlly poetic 'Nocturne' (Op. 9, No.
p of Chopin, his own vsristious on
The Last Rose of Sumner and the
'Valse' (Op. SO, No. ~ of Chopin. These
numbers were played with a warmth
and delicacy of tone, beauty and varie-
ty OF expression that at times suggest
ed the violin, again the mandolin then
the guitar, and sometimes all OF them
at once. 1t ia impossible to describe
such playing, and that such exquisite
tones, such power and such feeling
could be evoked from the plebeian

skillful "a player Mr..
