BRYAN, TEXAS, JULY Is, 1910.

H. Bascom Thomas, 'the expelled
senator" was arrested in Houston for
distributing cards on the street, which
il is alleged is a violation of city
ordinance. The cards were in the in
terest of his candidacy for lieutenant
governor, and it is claimed that other
candidates have distributed similar
cards without molestation. This will
give Thomas another excuse for utter
ing a doleful wall of persecution.
