II is nerve energy that runs

nerve force is sent out through

THE CANDIDATES. FOR SPEAKER
Four Aspirants i'm the Field and the
Race Is Warming Up.

The race for the speakership of
the Thirtieth legislature will begin
now in earnest, and all of the entries
race, four well-known gentlemen in
the race, and each of these is busy
now. They are Colonel John n
Peeler of Austin, Hon. T. B. Love of
Dallas, Hon. H B. Terrell of West,
and Hon. j. NJ. Alderdice of Waxa-
hachie
Each of these gentlemen has had
much experience in the legislature,
and is regarded as a man of ability.
Colonel Peeler has announced that he
has enough pledged votes to elect
| him, and Mr.. Love has made the same
| claim. According to these claims
| the other gentlemen seem to be out
| of the running. They tell differ
ent story, however. They do not say
they have enough pledged votes to
win, but each man claims good
support, and they expect to get still
more votes.
Mr.. Terrell AYERS that he will re-
ceive the solid support of the Cen
trail Texas members.
Mr. Alderdice does not claim every
thing in sight, but he has the support
of influential Legislators from differ
ent sections of the state. Peeler and
Love are admittedly the strongest
candidates for the speakership just
at this time, but neither one has
enough pledged votes to insure his
election. Mr. Alderdice is the sec
ond choice of some of the Peeler and
Love supporters, and in the event
they both fail the chances for the
election of the Ellis county man are
very good Mr.. Alderdice is in every
way qualified to discharge the duties
of this position, and his many friends
in Ellis county are hopeful of his
success.
