HARMON STANDS
WELL In TEXAS
Democrats Turning Out by the
Thousands to Greet Him Every
where He Goes.

Texas will send a delegation to the
Baltimore Convention favorable to Gov.
Harmon. according to advices received
yesterday at the Harmon headquarters
here from Judge Rice Maxey: Demo-
cratic State chairman at Dallas. Judge
Maxey's telegram to Robert B. Gordon
head of the Harmon headquarters here,
follows:
Texas Democrats are giving a rous-
ing reception to Gov. Harmon. Farmers
and business men are turning out to
greet him. Indications are that he will
have the delegation at Baltimore. Now
that our people are learning the true
character of Gov. Harmon, as well
as his official career, and especially the
benefits that have come to Ohio from
his administration as Governor. they are
beginning to nock TO his standard. Our
people are not so easily led to oppose
man. without investigating him, by the
bare assertion that he is the candidate
OF the interests. whether such statement
comes from one who has held high rank
in the party and ben honored by the people
repeatedly or from some other source.
Fortunately the time has come when one
has to show the people, by a statement
Of facts. and no fact has been stated and
none can be truthfuIly stated Of a single
act of Gov. Harmon's that even
tends to show that his heart is not with
the common people. The Harmon forces
are thoroughly organized in Texas and
we are confident Of the result. notvith-
standing the extravagant claims of the
opposition"
At Lexington, Tex, an enthusiastic
Harmon Club was organized yesterday.
It has more than 300 members. In his.
invasion Of the Lone Start State, Gov.
Harmon viii address meetings at

ROOSEVELT GRINS
At TAFT ATTACK
Colonel Glum Over New Hampshire
Primaries, but Hopes for
Massachusetts,.

Oyster Bay, n. Y, April 2I.-The de-
feat of the Roosevelt forces in New
Hampshire at yesterdays primaries is
a distinct disappointment to the ex-
President. The coloners managers led
him to believe that the Granite State
would follow along the way that Maine
went. and give a clean sweep of Roose-
welt delegates.
Roosevelt in his speeches in New
Hampshire told the voters that wher-
ever there were direct primaries he
was sure tho people would vote his
way. The colonel hoped that New
Hampshire would not be an exception
to the rule, not only for the eight dele
gates involved. but for the effect upon
the Massachusetts, primaries next week
The Rough Rider had no comment to
make on the New Hampshire defeat to-
day. He looked glum when asked about
it. The ex-President does not look with
alarm upon the reports from Washing
ton that President Taft is going to hurl
a broadside at him when he gets to Bos-
ton tomorrow.
Laughs at Bomb.
The Taft bomb was made ready at
midnight conference last night at the
White House. was ventured.
''Frightful,'' murmured the colonel.
with a grin.
Charles S. Wheeler, Roosevelt sup
porter from San Francisco. who win run
at the primaries on May Il. for delegate
to the Chicago convention, called at
Sycamore Hill to assure the colonel that
California is with him.
"They will do in California what
Oregon did for you" said Wheeler. The
people out that way give you credit for
having started the Panama Canal and
they mean to show their appreciation.
You can count on getting the States
delegation to Chicago"

The statements of the crew agree with
those of the captain in so far as re-
ports Of preparing the lifeboats, &c, are
concerned. but the men differ from the

AAE Service ON MERIT oaA1s'
In a communication forwarded yester-
day to the House Committee on Foreign
Ahairsas Secretary of State Knox ap-
proved the Sulzer bill proposing to es-

OF merit. The bill provides that all ap-
plicants for appointment to the con-

written and oral examination and that
in making promotions a like course shall
be followed.
Secretary Knox said: Let me say
that in my opinion the day has passed
when politics should influence foreign

Presidents and Secretaries of State to
discharge their duties In connection with
foreign intercourse and the development
Of commerce in a thoroughly efficient
manner"

ORLEANS COUNTY MONITOR WEDNESDAY. AUGUST FL. 1912

|, A few weeks ago / met man from
Vermont who incidentally mentioned
| that he knew S. N. Clark and had |
had dealings with him. He then re-
marked .'There is no better man liv
ing on the earth than Simeon Clark
and he has good Judgment, too" |
surely agreed with him. You will
have with you at your meeting two
doctors of considerable note. There
is DR.. c. w. Clark. whose unyielding
energy and perseverance have made
him an honor to the name of Clark as
we'll as to his profession. There is
tDr. E. w. Clark, who is living evil
dence that Massachusetts, is adopting
progressive ideas. Formerly that
state tolerated me in her senate for
number of years. Now, instead OF
me, they have the Hon. Ezra Warren
Clark in the senate, with the pros
pect of many more terms Of service
there for him. Thus the state is pro-
crossing and improving right along.
: You will have with you many others
l of influence and worth, with some OF
whom | am not as we'll acquainted as
e am with those [ have mentioned.
, These all will add interest to the &C.
S casion. From motives of pleasure
n and of choice. should rather be in
Glover on the fifteenth of August
q than to be in Boston; but it would be
J. very inconvenient for me In that
week to take the necessary time from
my business.
The greater part of my life ha!
been spent in and near Boston; and
long and familiar associations have at
8 tached my affections to Massachusetts
u But the poetical and sentimental I'm
:, pulses of my life relate back to tn
II years that I spent in Glover; and tn
= memory of those years is imperlsh
'e able.

N shock | must turn the switch and shu
u. off this current Of gush and close thi

'. thanks for your invitation, and an eX
