AN EXODUS OF OFFICIALS.
State House and Legislative Halls Elk
pected to Be Empty Next Week.

The state house and the legislative
halls will be literally deserted after
Saturdays session, and it is not ex-
pected there will be any one left in
Austin for the next few days next
week. Arrangements are being made
to provide transportation for the
members of the legislature, also for
the state officials. It is expected
that practically all Of the state Off
Gals, headed by Governor Campbell,
will attend the big event at Galveston,

two days, if not more. 1t is under
sood there will be no fight made on
the injecting into the platform of the
submission plank, as submission pre-
vailed by good majority at the re-
cent primaries. This will likely have
the effect of killing the various and
sundry measures which are now occu-
pying the attention of the lawmakers

ADDING MACHINE ON THE BUM.

DR.. E. l.. Rose, in his communica-
ton in yesterdays Herald made use
of the following language:
while Mr.. Campbell took a decid-
ed stand against Mr.. Colquitt and in
sisted that his home people vote down
any expressed opposition to him, this
county, Needless of the governors
overtures, Endorsed Mr.. Colquitt at
every town and village in the county,
including the governors own pre-
cinct.''
1t is evident to the Herald's mind
that some one has palmed off a bum
adding machine on DR.. Rose, else he
could not make such miscalculation.
The official figures of the governors
race in Anderson county show that
Mr.. Colquitt got a total of eight hun
dred and eighty-five votes, while the
vote cast against him in this county
and for the other gubernatorial can
didates was seventeen hundred and
twenty-three That does not look to
the Herald like republication of the
governor nor an Endorsement of Col
quit The vote in Governor Camp
bells home box in Palestine ran about
in the same proportion. This just
to keep the record straight" doctor
As a matter of fact Colquitt re-
ceived only about one-third of the
votes cast for governor in this county.

Senator Gore has made some very

the Oklahoma senator if he fails to
prove his charges, and it will be de-

recent times, and there have been
some warm ones, has created as much
interest as the one in which the blind

Northern Pacific Issues A Series
OF Attractive Cards

The Northern Pacific has put out
this summer a new and attractive SER
les Of souvenir postcards which are
distributed to its patrons ready stamp
ell for mailing. A set of twelve stamp
ed cards is sold for 25c, the cards de-
picting different scenes, some Of cities,
some Of farm views, irrigation pro-
jects, Yellowstone, ct cetera.
The Government Reclamation Pro-
ject at Huntley, the Gallatin and Bit
ter Root valleys, and the cities of
Helena, Billings and Butte are all rep
resented by attractive cards setting
forth the agricultural and industrial
possibilities Of the state. Other cards
show the cities Of Portland, Seattle,
T4coma, Spokane, Grand Canyon in
Yellowstone Park, Old Faithful Inn,
ct cetera.
This attractive form of advertising
is bound to do the Northern Pacific
vast amount of good, since these cards
are scattered to the four quarters Of
the earth by those who mail them to
friends telling Of their experiences on
the trip "Along the Scenic Highway
the Land of Fortune. - This
latter phrase is slogan which the
Northern Pacific adopted something
over year ago and uses in connection
with all Of it's advertising matter. That
it is eminently fitting is apparent at
once, since the Land Of Fortune" is
used to designate every mile Of the
territory from the head Of the Lakes to
the Pacific Ocean, the richest and most
productive country the sun shines
upon.

Unusual interest is being taken in

before we could feel warranted in

and will be given an opportunity to be
