HAGARMAN
CELEBRATES

The returning excursionists to the
Hagerman bridge celebration report
a good time AID that the celebration
was a great success, considering the
weather and the limited crowd that
was able to come out after the rain.
The morning was spent in getting ac-
quainted A big free dinner was serv-
ed in the Commercial Club quarters.
In the afternoon the crowd at the club
was entertained by the numerous can
didates, all OF whom that are seeking
county offices, were present. All male
speeches, except Fred ]. Beck, who
was out when called upon. T. Ev-
ans and C. c. Hill were the principal
entertainers. Later in the afternoon a
game of base ball was played by the
Hagerman and Lake Arthur teams,
the home team winning, seven to six.
Wallace Foreman and Fred Wilson,
of Roswell, pitched and played third
base for Lake Arthur. The three Mex
ican: boys who went to furnish music
for the day, pitched, played first and
third base for Hagerman. The festiv-
tiles closed with a dance at the Com
mercial Club at night, the Mexican
orchestra playing. All the Roswell Wis
itors returned to Roswell this morn

What about those preachers who
were so severely criticised for taking
the field for the homes of the people
and against the saloon? Did they not
gradually lose their influence? Those
of them most conspicuous in that
fight and who still hive are the most
influential ministers in Texas today.
If any gentleman thinks l am on
the wrong side of the question and
that the saloon ought to be permitted
to continue, l am ready to discuss
the matter with him, and I believe
that | can convince any fair minded
man that 1 am right. If any one feels
disposed to say ugly things about me

him, but l shall not lose any sleep
over it. 1 did not seek to be made
president of the league, but since /
have been elected to that Office, l
shall do what l can to accomplish the
purposes for which 1t was organized
The other pastors in the city will be
just as active as I shall be, but we
desire it to be understood that this
is no more a preachers movement
than it is a laymen's movement. Lay
men are in the majority in it's coun-
ellis. 1t is not a committee of hot
headed enthusiasts, either They are
