MRS. L. P. SEARS ENTERTAINs.


Mrs. L. P. Sears entertained about
rs of her Holyoke friends at the Sears
Hotel WEDNESDAY evening. About two
hours of the evening was spent by the
guests in listening to musical program
by the Leblanc orchestra, and num-
Der of the Holyoke piano players and
singers and the program was highly en-
tertaining indeed as is always the case
when Holyoke musicians furnish the
music. After partaking Of some very
tempting refreshments, each guest was
called upon for the expression of SEN
timent and the responses, as is always
tie case, ranged all the way from the
very pathetic to the very amusing
Taken all in all, Il proved very enjoy
able evening for all present and at a
late hour, as the guests left for their
homes, the unanimous verdict was that
Mrs. Sears had succeeded in giving
them a good social evening and they
expressed hope that there might be
other such social gatherings to follow.

Rowdyism, whether it manifests
itself in pro or anti-Bailey demon
stration, is to be censured and con-
demned by all men who believe in
playing the game fair. We do not
pretend to know the cause for the
outbreak at Dallas Tuesday night,
there may be facts not related in
connection with the incident that
partially mitigates this offense, but
we insist that every speaker on both
sides of this question should be given
respectful hearing. There are facts
in this matter that should be heard
by the voters, and these facts as they
understand them should control their
votes. You may not agree with the
position taken by a speaker but it is
your duty as gentleman to give him
a respectful audience

THE DUTY OF EVERY MAN.

We doubt if there is counterpart
in political history to conditions now
existing in Texas, unless it is to be
found in graft-ridden Pennsylvania
or monoply-ruled California, and in
comparison with either of these two
desperate cases the dangers that
threaten our state are not paralleled.
Clothed in the plain garb of a con-
democratic party there is now being
waged a warfare between the Stand
ard Oil trust and the people.
Arrayed on the one hand is Uni
ted States senator who has been
bought with the gold of the people S
enemy, and rallying to his support
as leaders are those who hope to be-
come joint sharers in the profits de-
rived from a plundered populace.
Many honest men, because of the de-
ceptions practiced and the wilful
Misrepresentation made, have be-
come aligned with these corruption
lists, and easy money people are lined
up to man for the representative of
the trusts. During the four weeks of
the present campaign, whether by ac-
cident or in answer to orders from
their employers, every lawyer in
Texas who is engaged either by the
Standard Oil company or its subsidi-
airy branches has rallied to the stand
ard of Senator Bailey, going forth
into the highways and byways
preaching the gospel of deceit and
hypocrisy in an effort to mislead the
voters, and every agent OF every
known trust has Joined in the work
of attempting to saddle on the people
of Texas a curse that will blight
every prospect and every hope. They
deny with bitterness the charge that
the money of the oil trust is being
used in this fight against the people,
and yet they must admit that every
employe of that trust in Texas is
working with might and main for the
success in Saturdays primary Of the
STANDARD Oil ticket. These are not
mere assumptions, but, like the evil
dence now of record of Senator Bal
ley's uplicity-evidence that is oy-
erwhelming in its nature, they are
facts that can not be avoided.
Opposing the influence in Texas OF
trust money and trust-serving en-
ployes, what have We? A mighty host
OF honest men who, seeing the dan
