pleasure the special appeal you are
making to the citizenship of Ellis
county in behalf of Trinity Univer-
sity and heartily concur in all you
say of its Importance to this county
and city 1t is, and should be re-
garded by US, as, home institution.
and in my judgment is one the ex-
cellence of which needs only to be
known to be highly priced by our
people. | have been patron of the
institution for two years and am
more than pleased with what it has
done for my daughters. Ellis county
alone could we'll support this Univer-
sity and could afford to do so, and
it seems to me that when our people
understand its splendid educational
advantages they will be glad to avail
themselves of them. and educate
their children within the bounds of
our own county rather than send
them off to more expensive schools
of no greater real merit.

San Antonio, Tex, Aug. 12.-The
delegates to the state democratic
convention were up late last night
and consequently it was along toward
the noon hour before the convention
got down to business today. The first
business transacted was the election
of permanent officers. The slate as
fixed, last night went through with
whoop. Judge j. A. L. Wolfe of
Sherman was named as the perma-
Antonio was retained as secretary
and Clyde B. Smith was elected read
ing clerk. Robert Goodfellow was
made permanent sergeant at arms.
The only contest of any conse-
quence comes up from Bexar county,
and the committee on credentials
has not yet adjusted the trouble be-
tween the contesting delegations.
1t will be some time this afternoon
before the credentials committee
makes its report to the convention.
In the mean time the committee
on platform and resolutions is
wrangling over several knotty ques-
tions. While the main questions at
issue are practically settled as evil
denced by the preponderance of the
prohibition delegates, yet their very
majority has engendered a spirit of
fight that makes for wrangling in the
committee room. The principal dis
cussions this morning were over
minor questions, such as resolu-
ton declaring for free passes for
stockmen. ON railroads. This was vot-
ed down. h
At this hour the whole interest of
the convention is centered in the re-
port of the committee on credentials,
