Despite definite statements
by several persons that they

Their belief that only aero

Is regarded as indicating an investi-

that 1t will show the presence only
of aeroplanes, thus relieving the
minds OF the people.
In the absence of official con.
firmation. best reports indicate that
seven were killed, with a possibility
that two more perished. Five were
killed at Yarmouth and two at Kings
Lynn.
The principal objective of the
raid was Sandringham palace, King

ment In which he said he hoped to see
more miles of railroad built In Texas
In 1918 than In any previous year; the
number Of silos increased ut least ten
fold: more permanent highways built:
a new record In the matter of immigra-
ton to the state: more hogs and cattle
raised than ever before and a greatly
increased yield of corn and other grain.
There was not n hint of politics any.
where in the message.
Those intimately acquainted with the
governor say his administration will be
free from that species Of politics which
stirs UP class antagonism: there will be
no pitting Of the farmers against the
corporations. Having been farmer all
his life and banker for many years.
he wants these two interests to he
friendly and cooperate. In his younger
days he was railroad labOrer. and he
helped to build many miles Of track.
During bis campaign for governor be
promised that he would not permit
any liquor legislation. either pro or con.
on that subject If he could prevent It.
Since the election the higher courts
have nullifled the liquor laws In some
essential particulars. and It Is known
that bills will be introduced dealing
with the provisions thus voided. and
the Prohibitionists claim working ma
jority In both houses.
