Democrats Convene in Houston

The State Democratic Convention
met today liz Houston. The Harmon
people agree that the Wilson men
shall have everything they want. A
very generous proposition indeed,
since the Wilson contingent all ov-
er the state have spoken with so
much positiveness on that point.
Clark's friends are there and are
working for second choice and Will
probably get It.
, Richard Mays OF Corsicana was
the choice for temporary chairman
and Cullen f. Thomas of Dallas for
permanent chairman.
II looks like a line up OF leaders
who have for several years been re
legated to the waves of the gulf.
Senator Culberson will he made
chairman OF the delegation to Bal
timore.
It is expected that Cato Sells OF
Cleburne who was state manager for
the Wilson campaign will be chosen
as National Committeeman for Tex

No one can doubt after hearing one
sermon that he Is truly a converted
christian man and that he has his
whole heart in his work. This is the
one great reason for his wonderful
success and many Of the pleadings
uttered by him win live forever in
the hearts of those who heard him.

house which Guthrie used to hide a
portion of the articles stolen, the po-

jewelIy, laces and bric-a-brac were
discovered. Much of the stolen prop

The Way of the Golf Player

than the panorama that the course
presents on a busy day. Across the
soft, green stretches, diminutive cad
dies may be seen scampering with
long buckling nets, while from the
river banks numerous recklessly ex-
posed legs wave In the air as the
more socially presentable parts hang
frantically over the swirling current.
Occasionally an enthusiastic golfer,
driving from the eighth or ninth tees,
may be seen to start Immediately In
headlong pursuit of diverted ball,
the swing of the club and the intuitive
leap OF the legs forward forming so
continuous movement that the
main purpose OF the game often be-
comes obscured to the mere spectator.
Nearer, In the numerous languld
swales that nature has generously
provided to protect the interests OF
the manufacturers, or In the ripping
patches OF unknown grass, that In the

linger in botanizing attitudes.

There Is something about these
twilight gatherings that suggest the
degeneracy of rugged race; nor Is
the contamination of merely local sig

consciously, with a certain frank, COM
