| this district returned to the city today
after a trip through Calhoun and Cleburne
counties. Mr.. Craig is making a some
what novel race. He is without opposi-

among his future constituents and be-
come personally acquainted with them
He has been most cordially received
wherever he has been and his visits seem
to be appreciated. Something of the es-
TEEN in which Mr. Craig is held in his
home county is gained from the follow
ing endorsement of the Dallas county bar,

tive committee, II. s d. Mallory:

I'VE. the undersigned members of the
bar of Dallas county. do endorse the can
