CAN BE NO APPEAL
FROM THE Committee
This Is the Opinion of a Prominent
Lawyer-Aldermanc Candidates Do
Not Seem to Be Disturbed by the
Committees Decision.

The political campaign is now on.
1t is being cussed and discussed. If in
terest was short before. it is long now.
In fact the little political cloud that
has been lowering over the horizon
has broken into a veritable storm. the
center of which is raging about the
heads of he members of the city Dem1-
cratic executive committee.
The principal and heaviest kick
comes on the order of the committee
which prohibits slngIe-shotting in the
aldermanic contest. The candi
for aldermen are generally Ike
very quiet and say that any way

from those who are not candid;
at least not for aldermen.
Two sets of arguments are adv
one favorable to each side
! Those who favor prohibiting
shotting argue that it is the clear in
tention OF the law where It saws vote

On the other hand:

some one might not want to vote

ingv e~u one of ye most prominent
an. rS crned mem srs of the Hatties-
Se6rg bar, about the matter He was
frank to say that he did not agree
with the ruling of the committee. but
he says the election viii have to be
held according to the instructions of
the committee, and from their decision
there is no legal appeal. He SAYS that
the supreme court would not hear the
case and the only appeal in case single
shot votes We're not counted was TO
appeal to the executive committee that
made the resolutions and it is reason
able to suppose that they will sustain
themselves.
This being the attitude things are in,
there will be very little if any single
shotting done, because the man who
single shots on aldermen will lose his
vote for that particular office.

Calvin on eubernatorlaI Case.

Austin, July Sin an interview E.
A, Calvin of Houston. former president
of the Farmers unian, declared that
the Williams boom for governor is a
determined effort on the part OF rep
resentatives of corporate interests to
hoodwink Texas and deceive farmers
as to the operation of the tax laws
passed by the Thlrtieth Legislature
and in that way use them as cats
paws to pull their own chestnuts out
OF the fire. He maintains that the
full rendition law does not increase
taxes, and is a reform needed a LONG
time ago; that the election of VIII
Jams would mean the repeal OF cor
poration tax laws which Williams de
clares in his platform. Calvin declares
he served with Williams in the legis
lature, and his election would mean
also the repeal of the anti-buscke'
shop law; that the scheme to defeai
Campbell will fall flat, and the govern
or be renominated by an Overwhelming
majority.

To the Democratic Voters of the 18th
Senatorial District:
Yielding to the earnest solicitations

district, | have decided to become
candidate for the office of State SEN
ator; and in doing so, ! realize tn
fact that one who has business en-
gagements of any importance make
very great sacrifice in order to serve
the people as a legislator. But mas
much as we need legislative body
composed of conservative, patriotic
business men, who are ripe with ex-
perience, and who represent no par
ticular interests or class; men who
have the best interest and prosperity
OF the whole people at heart and who
Will endeavor to give us better laws,
and laws with fewer flaws; men who
have not run ali to politics, | have
so consented.

opponent Hon. A. j. Harper, from

you promptly and at once resign. If

Many of our laws need amending
and some few that cucumber out stat
Ii es perhaps should be repealed. Our
constitution should be amended in or
der that all officers shall be elected
for four years. thereby saving to the
people in taxes many thousands of
dollars now spent in holding unneces-
sary elections. Why not use a little
common sense, justice and modera-
ton?
| 1t is evident that we have been
sowing to the wind and | believe that
the time is at hand when we should
act with sanity, justice and conserv-
atism in the enactment of our laws
doing equal justice to all with special
privileges to none. Both labor and
capital are indispensable to the per-
petulty and the prosperity of our
great State; we should so form our
laws that both laborer and capitalist

NBW ENGINEER OF
FIRE DEPARTMENT
is NOW DEMANDED

Hugh Edwards. engineer of the
steamer at the No. fire station, re-
signed last night at the meeting OF
the police and fire commissioners and
the fire department is without an
engineer. However, the board gave
Fire Chief Wood authority to en-
ploy a competent engineer until the
next meeting. When Edwards ac-
cepted the position he did not want
to take his turn at standing night
watches. and the commissioners did
not enforce the rule, but recently the
engineer has been made to stand the
regular night watch.
In the ordinance a licensed engi-
neer is required to hold the position
and as only marine engineers are re-
quired to have a license 1t is difficult
to fill the position. The council will
be asked to amend the ordinance SO
that any competent engineer may fill
the position.
Fire Chief Woods request that q
new floor be laid at the Central sta
ton was acted on favorably and paint
will be allowed for the walls. Col
Richard Sutherland was present al
last nights meeting for the first time
in several months. Colonel Suther-
land has returned from trip to the
coast.

JOHNSON'S STORY
SHOWS HIM MORE
SINNED AGAINST
Wife Decamped Leaving Moth
ing With Which to Honor
Draft.
He Was Model Prisoner on
Way From GOldfield.
BEGAN GAMBLING OUT WEST

Detective, T. ]. Moore returned
from Goldfield Nevada, yesterday
Iafternoon with his prisoner, w. +.
johnson, who is charged with obtain
ing diamond ring by false pretenses
from A. Pollock. Johnson says he
did not purchase the ring Intention
|ally on bad draft, and says he had
$4,000 In a bank in Atlanta at the
time. If his story be true his wife is
the cause of his arrest. and he has
letters from her to verify his state
ment. Johnson was model prisoner
on the trip, and upon the request of
the sheriff of Godheld, Detective
Moore did not use handouts.
Johnson's story is that his wife
was in Atlanta and he had SO, 900 in
bank. He made this over in her
name so she could have money to
spend during his absence. Last sum-
mer he saw the diamond ring on dis
play and bought it, giving the jeweier
a draft in exchange. From Paducah
Johnson went to Evansville. and there
he received a telegram that his wife
had left with a man named Alexander
and the $4,000 was drawn from the
bank. over his trouble Johnson took
to drinking and drifted west. He
reached Goldfield. and in a gambling
house had trouble with a stranger
and was arrested through malice on
charge of obtaining money by false
pretenses. The police In Goldfeld
learned that Johnson was wanted
here. and he was held for three
months while correspondence was
kept up with Detective Moore to as
certain that johnson was the right
man.
Although Johnson was a prisoner.
he was made deputy jailer and was
armed with a revolver and a stick
to guard prisoners. For his services
as guard he was paid IS day, and
was one of the bravest officers in
Goldfeld. Detective Moore read the
warrant TO him and he agreed to re-
turn without requisition papers, but
the detective had these. The sheriff
left the Office when the papers were
served and begged johnson to return
when he was out of the trouble here.
Johnson was placed in Jail and he
has engaged counsel TO fight the case.
The trial will be held probably to-
morrow. Detective Moore was gone
twelve days Johnson is a steamboat
man, and among the rlvermen around
Paducah he has borne a good reputa-
ton.
