forces are trying &c prevent IL. Bailey

on over the selection OF delegates 10 the
Denver convention, the real struggle
viii come in a few months when the
primaries determine whether Attorney
General Davidson is to get q third
term.
The Texas antitrust laws have teeth
In them They are accounted probably
the most rigorous OF those or any state.
NOBODY IS spending much time N Texas
in public effort TO get the teeth eX-
tracted- Attorney General Davidson has
worked overtime and has kept his aides
busy in a continuous effort to see that
the teeth should sink deep into The
anatomy of various combinations.
The attorney general of Texas mas at
tackled the lumber trust there, and the
millers' trust; a fight has been made on
the harvester trust in that State, End
IL has been put out Of business; more
over, a fight successful from the State
standpoint has been waged against the
Waters-Pierce Oil Company.
Not the least notable Of the efforts
OF Attorney General Davidson has been
his campaign against the plumbers

Quoting a winning fight against the
plumbers and almost anyone would ad-
NIT that any occurrence OF this kind

Manning, April Without doubt
the most hotly contested town cleo
ton that has ever taken place in this
part of Iowa, was held in Manning
when w. b. PARROT, backed by the best
class OF citizens, was defeated for
mayor by his opponent. Douglas Rog-
ers, backed by the saloons and that ele-
ment Of the town. After the votes
were counted and the decision reported
the victors proceeded to make the re-
mander of the night hideous by
marching in solid phalanX to each of
the seven or eight saloons, and drink
ing or smoking; to their hearts content
at the expenses of their chaperons.
In all probability the election will be
contested, as PARROT was only defeat
ed by nine votes, and there are good
reasons to believe that several parties
voted who had no right 10 vote, be-
sides, several Parrot votes were
thrown out.
