HOT fight
10 Texas For Successor To
Senator Bailey = n n.
A Statewide Primary, To
Determine The Matter

Austin, Texas, July 11-One of the
hottest political battles the Lone Star
State has seen In years is rapidly ap-
preaching a climax. Two weeks from
next Saturday the Democratic vot-
ers of Texas will engage In a State
wide primary to determine. first, who
Is to Succeed Joseph w. Bailey In
the United States senate. and, second.
whether Governor Colquitt shall sue.
coed himself or be retired from Of
flee. At the same time candidates
will be named for lieutenant governor
and all other important State officers,
for judges Of the supreme court and
court Of appeals, members Of the leg
islature and county officers. But 80
far as the general public IL concerned
the interest Is centered almost ex.
clusively In the fight for the senator
ship.
Immediately Senator Bailey an
n0unced his purpose to retire last
winter the canvass for his seat began.
The followers of william ]. Bryan,
who had long fought Mr.. Bailey, set
out to get the place. Congressman
Norris Sheppard of the First district,
admittedly one of the ablest members
among the younger Democrats In the
House. was chosen 10 lead. He start
ed out In determined fashion, but
within month his health gave way
and he was compelled to announce
his retirement.
With the retirement OF Sheppard
the leadership of the radicals was
taken up by Cone Johnson, who pre-
viously had been the center of sew
eral stormy campaigns, having for
their chject the unseating of Bailey.
Johnson found, however. that the pace
set by his rivals In covering the great
distances involved In q stumping tour
Of the State was too hot, and after en-.
tering upon round of speechmak.
ing was compelled to go to a sanitar'
ium at Fort Worth. In the middle OF
April he announced his retirement
from the race.
The radical leaders were In panic
when the decision OF Johnson was
made known to them. hut they were
soon relieved when word came ia
them that Congressman Sheppard, af
ter month or more In q sanitarium
had recovered his strength and would
re-enter the race. Since that time Mr.
Sheppard has been actively In the
fight
Mr.. Sheppard Is for the initiative

OBJECT LESSON.

Jim Jones, aged perhaps 10 years,
son of Thos ]. Jones, has been in a
critical condition for more than a
week at his home near Monterey.
He was suddenly stricken while
standing in q neighbours porch, and
the physician summoned diagnosed
his case as heart trouble, due to
excessive cigarette smoking. Jim,
like many other boys, did not know
that he was injuring his health, and
has been smoking ever since he
could strike a match, and the very
fact that he did not realize the
danger makes his case all the more
pitiable. The facts in Jim's case
are cited not in the hope that other
boys will take warning they are
too thoughtless and inconsiderate,
and to try to impress them along
this line is a Penelope task,-but
parents and guardians may profit
by the warning and resort togreat-
er vigilence in behalf of the boys.
Th.re are many small boys in
Monterey who are now smoking
some perhaps with
their parents knowledge and the
next grand jury ought to make an
effort to find out where and by
whom they are procured. In most
instances it will be found that pur-
chases are made for boys by those
who are of age, and, unfortunately,
there is no punishment.
