movement of the troops. He has sent
the same assurances to the city of
Mexico. These assurances are in line
with the policy of the administration
to maintain the friendliest of relations
so long as such relations are possible
There is every reason to believe that
the troops will remain in Texas for
at least four months. Meantime they
will not be idle. The mobilization of
the army will be taken advantage of
to impart invaluable training to the
officers and men of the regular estab-
lishment and to many officers of the
state militia organizations, who will
be sent to Texas from time to time.
In way the sending of the troops
to Texas will give to the army the
same valuable instruction and expert
/ ence that came to the navy as re-
suit of the cruise Of the battleship
| fleet around the world. 1t was recall
ed in administration circles, that the
sailing of that fleet was regarded in
some quarters, as threat of war, but
| it proved to be a mission of peace.
President Taft hopes the sending of
the army to Texas will prove to have
been peace move. He told several
callers at the White House that he
ought to be the last person in the
world to be suspected of jingoism-
that nothing was further from his
mind. Political considerations, the
president said, had not entered into
the operations from any possible
angle
Mr.. Taft is fully aware that an at
tack is to be made upon him in con.
gress by some of the republican in.
surgents and possibly by some of the
democrats, but he is said to be pre-
pared to defend his course from every
point Of view.

Perhaps the greatest surprise in
yesterdays primary was the nomina-

ney. Monday night the only candi-
dates thought to have a show We're
w. H. voyles and H. J. Swarts, but
Mackey nosed out ahead of both of
these candidates.
The race for city marshal was the
hardest struggle of the day and some
what upset the dope, as Clark had
named the favorite, with Goodpaster
for third. However, Goodpaster's
strenuous campaign had had it's ef-
feet and when the vote was counted it
gave him plurality of 13 over Clark,
his nearest opponent.
In the contested school board cleo
tions the Masterson contingent was
completely victorious. In the first
ward ]. H. Winner, an avowed Master
son supporter was nominated over T

may result in its final selection.

private, an order recently having beer
made to bar spectators from his train

well to the ladies', and ladies' day has
