 Part of todays regular program. in cluding testimony about Oklahoma conditions, was postponed in order to give time to the Stewards story. Pro lessor F. w. Leonard, of the depart ment of economies of the University of Texas, gave the commission fig ures from his investigations, tending 10 explain how the credit system in vogue made it impossible for tenants 10 get out of debt on many farms. He testified that many land owners CO., operate with their tenants with the purpose of building up good estates and that on such farms tenants usu- ally are prosperous. But he said there was a class of land owners who practically compel their tenants to keep moving to other farms by driving hard bargains, and another class who, through the general speculative rise in land values in the southwest and their need or desire for an ordinary rate of interest on capital represent ed in such lands. exact ruinous rents. Tenants on these two classes of farms, he said, seldom get enough money ahead to pay cash, but mort gage their next years crops for living expenses

In Arkancas she said she worked in the fields every year except one in crop seasons, continuing this work until nearly the time when children were born. Her routine, she said, was to get breakfast at am, work in the fields until nearly noon, then return to the house to begin household dutes, and take "one day out a week" to do the washing. For several years she said she made all her husbands clothing, her own and her children's. Mrs. Hartman asked about farm tenant housing conditions.

 After coming to Texas Mrs Steward stopped field work, replacing it with sewing until, she said, her sewing ma chine was taken away a few weeks ago to pay debts.

Meeting Will Be Held Tonight at Party Headquarters to Further out. line the Campaign of Next Two Weeks.

Party workers who had previously felt some alarm as to the result of the city race next month. and who had gone out voluntarily to canvas the field, reported yesterday that the fears of doubt existing previously had been untounded, and that there was no doubt but that the nominees would have wholesome majorities
 It was ascertained that the bus- ness men generally are solidly for the democratic nominees, and that except in a few circles is there any dissension. For the most part. it was reported, those who are making the most noise about the opposition are those who have no votes in the city election.
 There will be meeting of the workers in the campaign tonight at the democratic headquarters in the old city hall building, and all who d.. sire to have some work assigned for the coming two weeks are invited to be present. The campaign executive committee yesterday gave orders for printing that will guarantee this will be a campaign of publicity, waged along lines seeking through argu- ment to convince the democrats and the citizenship generally that the sup port of Harry A.
