THE Houston Post has the fol-
lowing to say of r. V. Dayidson's
candidacy: There never was
a more insincere contest waged
for the governorship than that
conducted by r. V. Davidson.
He knows that he has not the
slightest hope of receiving the
nomination. He has never had a
chance from the beginning. He
is in the race for the purpose of
dividing the anti-prohibition vote
of South Texas in order that the
prohibitionists may have a
chance to triumph because Of
this division of strength"

The cattle and the feed that fattened
them were both the products OF a quarter

this shipment OF cattle, Mr.. Haggerty
raised large number of high priced hogs.

1T is the scarcity of this kind of cattle
that is causing these high prices, and not
until more OF this grade of cattle is pro-
duced will you see lower prices. OF course
it is a splendid thing for the producer, but

to make any public statement concerning
the case beyond expressing sympathy for

genuine. To an intercessor in the mans
behalf Westbrook is known to have said:

not a co-partnership or family affair, but a
corporation into which stockholders have
put their money and the defalcation will
have to be made up in full, The company

1t is regarded as certain that the bond
company will insist on every cent being
restored so that the surety company itself
will not have to bear the expense.
a local agent for the National Surety
company declared Thursday that the audit
of McCrea's books shows that irregularities
have been going on for several years-at
least four. That this could be without de-
lection until now is due to the fact that
the Omaha Live Stock Commission com
pany has not been accustomed to conduct
