resources, and most rapidly growing.
A large part Of the development that
may be expected comes from the
other states that send to Texas 10 IA
men aud money. Ia orde. that the
great Southwest may come into It's

Whatever their friends may say
in favor of Colquitt, Johnson ana
Poindexter. there is only one man it,
the race WHO. as even his political OPP
ponents must admit, is a statesman.
Davidson viii make the best possible
chief magistrate ri Austin because
of his record and experience.

glorious history.
Texas. the Land of Promise. can
only be made a Land of Performance
by Law and order. The problem OF
the present Is not. and has not been,
with the pioneers. They belong to
the past; The civilization of TWEEN
tieth century Texas is commercial.
We do business, like the rest OF tie
country. largely by means OF corpo-
rations, but the corporation in Texas
is the creature, not the master, of
the state.
IT was Davidson, who by simply
performing his duty as the highes;
law officer OF the state, taught the
greatest Of American trusts, the
Standard Oil Company. that the
Waters Pierce. It's branch. could MOI
violate the laws Of Texas and escape
punishment. Punishment was adj
uainistered by the courts by the file
of SI.Seo.000.
The enforcement of the law aginst
tllegitimate business is the best pro-
lection of legitimate business.

states the reputation OF being the
land OF the financial freebooter than
they would ii 1t had the reputation OF
being infested with bandits or bad
men In the early days when there
We're Mexieans and Indians in Texas,
only hardy pioneers had the courage
to cross the Sabine. Davidson has
done what Sam Houston and the oi-
oneers did as TO the Mexicans and
the red men He has cleared the
state of Henry Clay Pierce. that
financial Santa Anna, and of the big
chiefs and little who ply the toma-
hawk and the scalping knife. We
want the man with the hoe in Texas,
and the man with honest capital. We
want Texas to have the reputation
abroad OF being, as ii is, the best
place in America. That is why the
majority Of Texans are for Davidson
as the best candidate for govern5-.
We want Texas to be the garden spot
of this continent, and the man IS
governor who has shown he under
stands farming and gardening and
knows how TO clean out the weeds.
Davidson has been a man not IF
words but of deeds. That is why
he so appeals to Texans.--Houston

Head by Machine Operated by
City Employees.

Matthew Foral, IA years of age, who was
struck by a city automobile at Twenty
fourth street and Woolworth avenue late
Thursday afternoon, is now at st. Joseph
hospital in a dangerous condition.
The automobile, carrying three members

driven by Fred Swain. The boy, running
to catch a street car, dashed out In front
Of the automobile from around a terraced
~embankment. He didn't see the car and 1t
was too close upon hin to stop when he
appeared, although not running at a high
rate Of speed.
Foral was struck In the back of the head
and rendered unconscious, The car did
not pass over him, coming to a sudden
stop. The boy was picked up and taken to
st. Joseph's hospital where he was treated
by DR.. R. w. Connel and DR.. c. c..
Allison.
In the car with the driver were Dean
Noyes. c.. II. Henning and John Martin, all
employees of the city engineers department.

AUTOS TO CARRY THE MAILS
Swift Moving COnVeyances May BE

Omaha may soon have automobile ser
vice in the delivery OF malls to and from
the railway stations and the postoffice.
Bids for the delivery Of m "a between the
depots and postoffice rave been opened at
the postoffice, but the figures were re-
garded as too high by the Postoffice de-
partment and new proposals have been
called for to be opened on March 9. speelfi-
cations for such bids are on file in the
office OF the superintendent of mails at
the NAH office.
In view Of the high bid for such de-
liveries by horse and wagon, the Postoffice
department has sent a representative to
Omaha to confer with automobile men TO
induce them to make bids for automobile
service delivery OF the mails.
Postmaster Thomas is Of opinion that
should the automobile men conclude to
enter the contest for the delivery OF the
malls, It will be only a question OF a short
time when general automobile delivery will
become general in Omaha. as now prevails
In some Of the larger cities.

Primary or Convention.

There has been but little said recent
" OF the Congressional race that will
be held in this district this year. The
friends of several gentlemen have said
that there would be opposition TO Hon.
Harvey Helm, the present incumbent.
for the democratic nomination, but as
vet no authoritative announcement to
that effect has been made. Mr.. Helm
has made his official announcement, but
none Of the others have done so. A
nomination will be made. as a matter
Of course, and the selection OF party
candidate will probably be made some
time in the spring or summer. The
time and manner Of making the selec-
ton will be determined by the Con-
gressional committee. which will be
called together at the pleasure OF Mr.
Morton Fitch, Of Jessamine county,
who is chairman Of that committee.
The democrats Of this district are in
terested in the selection Of a good man
for the position, and there must be no
faint or suspicion Of unfairness in max
ing that selection. The district, from
n political standpoint, IL very close. and
the defeat Of weak or unpopular dem
ocratic candidate by strong and pop
ular republican would not only be prob
able. but very possible.
There must be no question as to the
fairness OF the selection. Packed con-
ventions in the past have had much to
do with the conditions that have exist
ed in Kentucky for the past ten or
twelve years, and no honest man can be
IN favor Of them in the future. Every
voter should be entitled to a voice in
the selection of his party's candidate.
and every vote should be counted as
cast. This can be done in primary
election and has been rarely, II ever.
done in a convention. There is no
trading or swapping in a primary. and
there. every tub stands on its own bot
tom. Shelby Record.
