To the Editor of the. Herald:

To the Editor of the. Herald:
would like to notice just two fea-
lures of Mr.. Colquitt's address here
on last Saturday So far as my men,
DRY serves me, this was the only
speech | ever heard delivered to an
audience composed, in part, of ladies,
where the speaker failed to recognize
and thank the ladies for their pres
.ence. Either at the beginning or at
the close, it is almost a universal rule
to speak of the inspiring and restrain
ing influence of woman's presence on
such occasions, to be followed with a
climax on the order of this: I'VE ad-
mire the ladies because of their
beauty, respect them because of their
intelligence, and love them because
we can't help it." But no, not a word
on this line from Mr.. Colquitt. His
mind was imbued with another theme,
and naturally drifted into another
channel. Then again, his criticism of
Governor Campbell was useless, and
in bad taste. Useless because we had

Another large crowd was present al
the Airdome last night and good
program of vaudeville and motion pic,

wood pleased every one with his il
Illustrated song, and their comedy

tirely new, and if anything, better
than the one presented on the open
ing night. They will make another
change in their act tonight
A very beautiful Essaney film will
be projected tonight, entitled, The

ture full of heart interest and every
body loves good western story with

LAYMEN WANT MEETING
Another Meeting In Regard to the Pro-

Last Evening.

Last night number of representa-

parlors to discuss the Torrey meetings
AS there were only two members OF
the laymefs committee present, and
not all the churches represented, nc
definite action was taken The follow,
ing is an extract from the minutes of
the meeting:
Moved, second and carried that
those present be a committee to wait
on the pastors and ask them to ap-
point a committee of three from each
church, these committees to meet
Jointly at The Y NJ c. A. next Friday
at p. m. Also that pastors be asked
to urge all laymen to attend this
meeting and cooperate with the COM
mittee. Moved, seconded and carried
that these resolutions be published in
the daily newspapers.

read the same matter delivered at
other places, and we knew that no
bouquets were likely to pass between
Colquitt and Campbell. If | had been
in his place, speaking in CampbelPs
home town, 1 would have gracefully
omitted any illusion to the matter.
His coarse filings at Governor Camp
bell were only equalled by the dis
tasteful plaudits of part of his audi
ence Whether in that audience or
not, do not know, but there are men
in this county who would not have
joined in applauding that part of his
very commonplace address-men who
have seen and felt the touch of Tom
Campbells big-hearted humanity to
hard-up men, to little men, to men
scuffling with adverse fortune, when
a little help would prove big help;
men have been fired with new hope
by his kindly hand, in many cases
with no security but a poor mans
puny word. This class of man would
not approve of such cheap bids for
political favor We will now have the
golden text: When | compared the
fustian brain, of this redoubted Cap
tain Vain, | had at hand but few in
gradients, and so was forced to use
discerning, a grain of sense, a grain
of learning; and when | saw the void
behind, l filled it up with froth and
wind" F. A. Patrick.

WIRELESS
KNOCKING
FOR ADMIssIoN-AGENT is IN
CITY, AND WILL LAY PROPOSE
TIoN BEFORE BOARD OF TRADE.
A SERIES OF STATIONS.

Mr. R. L. B. Davidson, representing
the Texas Collins Wireless Telephone
and Telegraph company, is here from
San Antonio, and says he will lay be-
fore the citizens of Palestine, perhaps
through its Board of Trade, a propo-
sition to establish a station in Pales-
tine as one of a chain of stations
across the country. The Collins Wire
less company, he says, will work in
pany in establishing a coast to coast
service of both wireless telegraph and
telephone service. Then it will be
made possible to say Hello, Houston"
Hello, Galveston" Hello, Dallas" or
any other town in the state where
wireless stations are located; besides
Palestine will be in touch with the
big outside world through the wireless
telegraph, which its promoters claim
will give a better service and much
cheaper service than is now had.
Wireless service is comparatively a
new thing in the scientific world, but
nevertheless it is practical, and has
come to stay. Most sea-faring vessels
are now equipped with the wireless
service, and can keep in touch with
land from shore to shore This was
strikingly demonstrated on the home
coming trip of ex-President Roosevelt.
The world heard from his ship and
from him daily, from the time he left
England until he landed at New York
1t has dawned upon science that
whatever is sent by wire can event
ually be sent without wire And this
great truth is revolutionizing opinions
and methods of the scientific and en-
cheering world. And there is no
doubt that the wireless telephone is
going to make as great progress as
wireless telegraphy.
To secure this station will prove
great thing for Palestine, if the plans
of the company. as outlined, are car
ried out

!le speech to run for attorne,

ne speech to run for attorney
general again is not taken seriously,
because, while it is currently under
stood that he has fallen out with At
torney General Lightfoot, he knows
that he cannot run for his old office
again because the official ballot has
been made up, and no new candidates
can enter the race now. His refer
ence to running for attorney general
again is regarded merely as an at
tempt to save his face.
The next chapter of this political
story will be written when Johnsons
managers have reached a decision on
the burning question, Can Davidson
deliver his followers?"

They say the trusts are back IN
Texas after | ran them out. | deny
it, but if they are, you get your attor-
ney general to go after them. If he
doesn't do it, elect me again, and /
will make them skiddoo."
First thing you know I'll throw up
a sure thing for governor and run for
attorney general"
Following the admission made at
Comanche Saturday, that Colquitt will
be a winner unless some kind of a
combination between South Texas
ants and North Texas pros is con-
summated, and the plain intimation
that he might quit the race to run for
attorney general, the gathering of Da-
wilson and Johnson leaders in Fort
Worth Sunday becomes exceedingly
significant.
There is reason for believing that
the. announcement of withdrawal is
held in suspense to give an oppor-
tunity to sound public sentiment and
find out where the bulk of the David
son vote will go. Admittedly this vote
is not very large; indeed, it's small
ness supplies the reason for David
sons encouragement and his apparent
willingness to get out of the race.
Still, small as it is, if it could be
delivered solidly to Johnson it would
greatly encourage the Tyler man. But
the inevitable eff is looming large,
and not all of Johnson's friends are
convinced that Davidson's withdrawal
would help him.
1t is pointed out that Davidson's fol-
lowing in South Texas is made up
largely of anti-prohibtionist and it is
extremely unlikely that they would fol-
low Davidson into the camp of the
most extreme and radical prohibition
ist in the race.
Davidsons strength in North Texas
is very small, but it is made up main
ly of prohibitionists of such a mild
type that they would be satisfied to
vote for an anti-prohibitionist for gov
ernor so long as he favored submits
sion. With Davidson out of the race
it is believed Poindexter would have
almost if not quite an equal break
with Johnson, while there is every
reason for believing that his anti fol
lowing in South Texas would go to
Colquitt.
1t is tantalizing uncertainty on
these points that in the opinion of
many is holding back an announce
ment by Davidson.
1t is common knowledge in this sec
lion that many ardent admirers of
Davidson are openly announcing
heir purpose to vote for some other
excusing themselves ON the
ground that they do not want to

IS DAVIDSON TO RETIRE.
Significant Conference of Johnson anc
Davidson Men Held In Fort
Worth Sunday.

Fort Worth, Texas, June 21.-The
Fort Worth Record this morning
prints the following:
What effect would the withdrawal
of R. V. Davidson have on Cone John
sons chances?
This is the question being asked
over Texas at this time by leaders of
the Johnson forces. 1t is being asked
of men of all shades of political opin-
ion, and it is being asked seriously.
Does it foreshadow the early with
drawal of Davidson in the event the
Johnson and Davidson managers reach
the conclusion that the bulk of David
sons supporters would go to the Ty-
Ter man? The answer is not forth
coming at this writing, but certain
happenings of recent date warrant the
suspicion.
A significant gathering of Johnson
anu bdNluoO lSduSlS lOOh pldSC III
Fort Worth Sunday, and late Sunday
afternoon Johnson leaders began to ask
what effect Davidson's withdrawal
would have on Johnson's campaign
Judge J. NJ Edwards of Tyler, law
partner of Mr.. Johnson, has been in
Fort Worth for several days on legal
business. Sunday he went over to
Dallas and returned with Cone john
son and Mr.. Germany, his Dallas cam
paign manager.
By some sort of coincident Judge
Yancey Lewis and Judge George Rid
die of Dallas, both active supporters
of Mr.. Davidson, appeared at a local
hotel. Later in the day DR.. Johnson
of Fort Worth, brother of the Tyler
candidate, came down town.
There were talks and conferences
during the day and along in the after
noon the Johnson men began to put
out "feelers," as indicated above.
The foregoing facts, while signifi-
cant, might not mean very much after
all, were it not for recent expressions
of Mr. Davidson, which go far toward |
the suspicion that he
is ready to withdraw whenever John
sons friends deem it expedient for
him to do so.
In his speech at Comanche Saturday |
Mr.. Davidson conceded Colquitt's |
election unless something is done to |
combine his anti-prohibition following
in South Texas with the prohibition
strength in North Texas
Going further, he made these signif-l
