Some Ginger Injected.
The political campaign in Dallas has
been rather a dragging one, with very
little interest felt in the matter. Some
little ginger was injected today by the
following card from Mr. Bamberger the
business manager of the Selma Times,
who is a candidate for county commits
sioner of the city district:
My opponent for MEMBER of the Board
of Revenues must be getting a little
frightened At first he and his friends
laughed at my candidacy, but now they
have changed their tune. My opponent
and all his kinfolks have taken the field
against me, showing that they are badly
scared.
'They are so badly scared that yester-
day the probate judge of the county took
off his coat for my opponent, although
up to this time | have been for his BROTH
er for the Legislature. The probate judge
is anxious to retain my opponent on the
board, and seeing the handwriting on
the WALL" he has gone out to work
against me. This work that the probate
judge Is doing against me now may come
up against him when he tries to be re-
nominated for the office that he now
holds. He has no right to try to dictate
to the people who shall represent the
Selma district on the Board of Revenues.
Il am nothing but a humble citizen
and democrat of Dallas county, and all
l ask is fair play l have no money. l
have no powerful family connections.
have no friend in the probate judges Of
flee, with an influence permeating the
entire county, to assist me- All l ask Is
for fair play and free scrap, and if the
democratic voters of Dallas do not want
me In this office then l will submit to
their will as gracefully as / ever did to
any command of my party in my life.
Il am 'toting my own skillet in this
fight, but l do not believe my friends
will take kindly to the efforts of the
probate judge to try to down me. [
ask your votes for member of the Board
of Revenue, and ask the officials of Dali
las to give me fair play. Respectfully,
LOUIS BAMBERGER.
Special Entertainments.
Last night the Harmony club gave a
delightful Valentine euchre. The club
rooms were decorated in Valentines of
all kinds and descriptions and eight ta-
bles were surrounded with players Six
handed euchre was played and after the
games an informal dance was given. On
each table was a box of candy and when
the players took their seats the cards
were cut to see who was the winner of
the box.
On summing up the scores after the last
game Mrs. Henry Lillanthal was award
ed the married ladys prize a fancy
waiter. Miss Frances Lillanthal won an
elegant pair of gloves. Mr. Herman
Eliasberg won silk mufler and Mr.
Bernard Yaretzky a silk tie The con-
ISOLATION prizes, decks of cards, We're won
by Miss Sadie Meyer and Mr. M. NJ
Rosenberg. The affair was delightful in
every way and adds another successful
entertainment to the already long list.
Misses Addie and Belle Barber were at
home yesterday to their friends Owing
to the limited number that could be ac-
commodated both a morning and an af-
ternoon affair was given.
Pink carnations in profusion lent their
grace and beauty to the occasion, but
they were outrivaled by the beauty and
graciousness of the two charming hos
tesses. The prizes were elegant and were
contested for with great interest. Mrs
]. w Mabry won the trophy of the MORN
ing, a beautiful sterling silver bon-bon
dish. The consolation" prize as the
second trophy has come to be nicknamed
was won by Mrs. A. w. Cawthorn and
was a silver salt and pepper set. Salad,
oysters and coffee were served and en-
joyed.
Mrs j. w Hunter will entertain the
Bid Euchre club Friday afternoon.
