OUR TICKET.

In this issue it gives US pleasure to
call your attention to- one of the
best and cleanest county tickets that
has ever been put up bv the Republi-
cans of Trego county.
A. B. Jones, the Republican candi-
date for representative, is a man too
widely known TO need much introduc-
tion to the voters of Trego county.
He has lived here for twenty-eight
years and has been heavy taxpayer
and has always taken an interest in
the public's welfare, never shrinking
his part and always standing for the
interest of the party which he repre-
sents. There is no better qualified
man in Trego county to fill this place
as he is so constantly in touch with
the people that he knows their needs
better than most of men would. He
has very satisfactorily filled this i'm
portant office for two terms and has
proven himself worthy in every way,
and his reelection will be wise
choice of the voters.
G. III. Benson is one of IregO coun-
tvs most successful farmers and like
most of the other republican candi-
dates has been a resident of this
county for many years. Mr.. Benson
is a man of strict principle and is
honest and fair in all of his dealings.
He bears all of the necessary qualifi-
cations to fill this important place in
county affairs, and we do not know of
a man in Trego county who would do
the quare thing by the people any
more than Mr.. Benson. He is not a
stranger to our people and Is Trego
county land owner and all of his in
this county want one of the most
honest, impartial men of the county
for county clerk they cannot make a
better or more wise choice than Q. III.
Benson.
G. G. Marshall, our nominee for
county treasurer, is very widely known
over Trego, having lived here good
share of his life. Gregg is an honest,
upright man and believes in a square
deal for everybody. His qualifica-
items for the office are unquestion
able and we know of no one who
would give better satisfaction to the
public than g. G.. Marshall, and no
mistake will be made if he is placed
in the position to which he aspires.
Vote for Mr.. Marshall. He has been
deputy treasurer for the past three
years.
J. III. Poffenberger is very widely
known, having been in the barber
business in Wa-keeney for the past
fifteen years. Joe has many friends
and is liked for his genial smile. He
is property owner, taxpayer and
has always worked for the best pub
lie interests. We know of no better
man for the responsible position of
sheriff than j. III. Poffenberger, and
if elected he will discharge the duties
of this important office in a manner
satisfactory to all Joe has always
stood by the Republican party and
has never asked for or held a county
office and we feel that the people
could not make mistake in placing
him in this position for he would fill
it in manner satisfactory to all.
Herman Long, candidate for coun-
ty attorney, is well known to our
readers Mr.. Long is a bright young
lawyer and is very finely educated.

Judge Lobdell recently received a
letter from a resident of the back
ness proposition which might not
have been so startling in the old days
when this was the Sixteenth Judicial
district as it appears in this day and
age of more private scrutiny
of public business. The Missourian's
communication was brief and to the
point: s'Dear Judge II believe
have a splendid good case and will
give you half if you will decide it in
my favor. '-Larned Tiller and Toiler.

NAME GOT THEM
The Convention Met al Noon and Perfected
Temporary Organization.

Mr.. Colquitt had already agreed on
Judge Templeton for temporary chair
man, and readily accepted the new ar
rangement. Later Judge Finley came
along with the name of Judge Cock
rell, and he was as readily accepted
by all parties.
In all the caucuses except the Camp
bell peoples the statement was made
to the friends of the candidates of the
agreement as to who would be the
temporary and the permanent chair
man. In the Campbell caucus Senator
D. w. Odell did not tell of the agree
ment He asserted that the Campbell
people were representing the purity of
the ballot and that they would enter
into no combinations, but said: IF
you have confidence in the steering
committee that has been appointed,
you will vote for the officers of the
convention as the floor manager will
direct"

AGREEMENT REACHED
As to Both Temporary and Permanent
chairmen Of Convention.

Dallas, Texas, Aug. 1.-THE tempo
rary and the permanent chairmen
have been given to Judge Brooks.
This was settled late last night. An
agreement has been made that Judge
Jose Z. Cockrel Of Dallas will be rec
commended by the executive commit
tee for temporary chairman and the
committee on permanent organization
will recommend Judge Howard Tenn
pleton for permanent chairman. The
suggestion came from Judge Finley,
manager for Brooks. It had been de-
termined that others would hold these
positions, but when Judge Finley
reached Bells headquarters with the
offer of Judge Templeton and Judge
Cocl,rell the Campbell people did not
seem inclined to cross the friends of
the man who was first recommended.
Judge Bell was then asked and agreed.

Special 20 the Herald.
Dallas, Texas, August 14-With
nearly seven hundred regular dele
gates and thrice that many visitors in
attendance, State Chairman Andrews
called the state Democratic convention
to order at noon. Interest in the con-
test between the four gubernatorial
candidates overshadows national poll
tics and all other questions to come
before the convention. 1t is a fore
gone conclusion, however, that the
platform committee, of which Senator
Bailey is a member, will endorse
Bryan for the presidency.
The convention is the first held
under the new law which prorates
the convention votes among the can
didates according to the results of the
primaries. The lowest candidate is
dropped until one candidate receives
the majority of the votes represented
by the delegates.
IL VIII require approximately three
hundred and ffty-three votes to nomi-
nate. The first ballot may take sew
eral hours.
T. NJ. Campbell is the high man, and
has two hundred and thirteen votes on
the first ballot He is the only native
Texan among the candidates.
It has been agreed that Judge Cock
rell Of Dallas will be temporary chair
man, and Judge Howard Templeton OF
Sulphur Springs will be permanent
chairman. Both are supporters Of
Judge Brooks. This arraaswNsnt is
made as a courtesy to Judge Brooks.

The nomination is expected on the

HICKS FOR STATE CHAIRMAN.
He Is For Campbell For Governor, and
Has a Poeketbook.

Dallas, Texas, Aug. Ex-senator
Marshall Hicks Of San Antonio may be
the next chairman of the State Execu-
tive Committee. At least, Senator
Hicks has said he would accept the
place, and that mere fact marks some
progress toward his election, for so
far no great eagerness has been mani
tested to have this honor
Senator Hicks is a Campbell man,
and if Col. Campbell should be nomi-
mated he would doubtless be accept
able. What is perhaps as essential is
that Senator Hicks is quite able to
bear the financial burdens of the chair
manship.

JOB AT ALBANY WORTH FROM $50
900 to 100000.
Representative Goulden Makes This
Charge IN Eouse-Insurance Com
panies Paid Great Sums.

W WASHINGTON. D. c., May 21-
Some additional inside light was thrown
on insurance methods in New York to-
day by Representative James A. Goul-
den or that state before the House COM
mlttee ON the judiciary considering the
Ames bill for the regulation of insur-
ance in the District of Columbia. Mr..
Goulden is general agent Of the Pennsyl-
vania Mutual Life Insurance company
in New York.
Why" he said, ''it was a well con-
coded fact that to be a senator at AL
bany was worth anywhere from $4,000
to SlOO,OoO year, and that the money
came largely from insurance companies.
This is no secret. Every New York
man knows it. l know it. | know it
we'll"
Touching on the subject of campaign
contribution, Mr.. Goulden said that his
company had been coerced into giving
$4,000 70 national campaign commit
tee in 1896. He did not say which cam
palgn committee received the money. but
remarked that the same thing was tried
in 1900 and 1904 but without success,
owing to the firm stand taken by Mr..
BImpton of Massachusetts, one OF the
directors who declared that every direc-
tor who voted for such contribution
would be held personally liable for the
amount.
The hearings on the Ames bin closed
with the testimony of Mr.. Goulden.

shot himself Sunday as officers armed
with warrant for his arrest on for
gerry charge came upon him in his hiding
place at his home. He died two hours
later.
Flanders. who lived in an elegant
home, had fixed a hiding place under g

the officers had been making frequent
trips to the house seeking him. They
finally became suspicious of the window
seat. the lid of which apparently was
nailed down. and pried it open. AS the
lid few up shot was heard and Elan,

wound i'll his forehead, was revealed
He never regained consciousness.
