pEcHERD ANSWERED.

Mexia, Texas, June II. 1916.
Hon. +. A. Decherd. Jr,
Franklin, Texas.
Dear Sir:
On my return a few days ago from
a ten days absence from the district,
found that you had addressed an
other open letter to me on the subject
OF Joint discussion OF the issues In the
senatorial race. and you insist that
your platform Is very different from
mine, but you do not point out the ma
terial difference. Or any difference,
In fact.
But, even II there are differences be-
tween us. that does not mean that the
people are going to quit their work In
the fields and come out to public
speakings, and to ask them to do 80
would be to get the horse laugh.
+, | insist that there Is nothing to be
gained by Joint discussion. II you
wish to take the stump II is your priv
ilege to do so. AS for attending pic
mics. | already have some such gather
ings In view that I expect to attend
and will attend others during the re
naming few weeks OF the campaign
rs | might find convenient to do so
Your proposition to 90 around with tn,
candidates as they make their round
Is absurd. for they are not goinI
around In droves In this end OF the dis
trict. at least.
Again. must decline to change m
campaign to suit your wishes. an
will continue as started out to d,
that is attend to my own campaign
and you are at liberty to do as 20
wish.
Respectfully.
Mp. HouX.

PYTH|AN SISTERS
MEET WITH KNIGHTS
Joint Entertainment Was Held Last
Night With Chicken Supper, and
Impromptu Program Given.

About rs Pythian Sisters, knights
of Pythias and their friends assem-
bled at the X. of P. Hall last night
at $3.50 o'clock and started a program
with a big chicken supper which later
proved to be one of the most enjoy
able affairs that has been mad IN
Bryan for long time. There was
plenty of chicken for every one as
well as other edibles that go with
this delicious dish to make a real
dinner.
Mr.. w. S. Wilson, Jr., acted as
toastmaster and as no program mad
been arranged he was the program
committee by himself and from reports
today his selections were OF the very
best. Vocal solos which were rend
cred in a most creditable way, were
offered by Misses Aliene Rohde and
Louise Caldwell. instrumental music
was rendered In most pleasing man
ner by Miss Williams and Others. Az
ter the musical part OF the program
the speech.making began. Severa
distinguished Knights we're calle'
upon for short talks and every on
was fine. Matters pertaining to tn
good of the order were discussed, tn
social side of the lodge was talked
and things for the betterment OF tn
Knights OF Pythias lodge and II
branches and for the City OF Brya
we're expounded in flowery lsnguag
and with oratory equal to that
Plato or Aristotle.
Just before the close OF the ente
tainment Mr.. r. Il, Robb OF Houston
representing the Southwestern Papt
Company. was introduced and rem
cred few very enjoyable selection
on his violin. At late hour u

HIGH CLASS ATTRACTION,

| This office had a Pifisant call Mon
Gay rom Hugh B. D5bbs, of Sc All,
representing World Brady Made
film features. and Clara Kimball Young
specials. Mr.. Dobbs was here to make
arrangements for putting the Orpheum
on circuit including Wenatchee. Okla
|nOgan and one or two other places to
present the Brady productions, that
are coming to be recognized as the
leading films of the movie world. These
productions are too expensive for a
single house in small town to pre-
sent, and it is only through a combi-
nation of the kind mentioned that Mr.
Bartell is able to secure them and the
picture lovers of Droville given a
chance to enjoy them. These produc-
tions are put on by the best stage art
lists, and the films are not old ones
that have gone the rounds, but are de-
livered here within eight days after
their production in New York. 1t is an
experiment on the part of Mr.. Bartell
and if the community fail to appre-
ciate and support this high class line
|of films he will have to give them up.
Among the Clara Kinsball Young spec
ials that will be presented here are
|such. strong and wei saown plays as
Camille" "Triiby," Hearts Of the
Blue Ridge" "The Deep Purple
,"Hearts in Exile" and the yellow
Passport" plays that the most exacr-
ling molarlist can find no fault with.

CONGREssIONALvIs

Congressman c. c. Dill was visitor
IN town on two occasions this week
when passing through Sunday to fill
dates elsewhere, and when here on
Tuesday to fill a speaking date. Mr..
Dill met with a cordial welcome here,
for he is everybody's congressman
even though elected as. a party repre-
sentative, and as our congressman he
has the respect of the people irrespect-
i've of party affiliations. The only hard
luck this paper wishes Mr.. Dill is that
he may be defeated in November. This
wish is not based upon personal
grounds, for If this vas normally a
democratic district we know of no
democrat that We would rather see
elected, but wholly from political
standpoint. Take the man outside of
the political atmosphere he breaths,
and that sways us all in making selec-
tions for office. and he is a most affa-
BILE and likeable gentleman. 1t is al
ways a pleasure to mEet him, and we
can say that he has made an active and
efficient congressman, There is no lin
1t to the good luck that we would like
to see come to him as ! private citizen.
and in modest way we shall do all we
can that private citizenship and good
luck comes to him in November.

HELPING HIS RIVAL.

c. C. Hart, one of the unsuccessful
|tion for congress from the Fifth dis
|trict, was in town over Sunday in COM
pany with the successful candidate,
Tom Corkery. Mr.. Hart ran especially
|strong in all the counties outside of
Spokane, as he is one of those genial
gentlemen who make friends readily,
and during the campaign prior to the
primary election spent much time
|among the voters of the counties con-
|stituting the district outside of Spo-
kane. He also had the backing very
generally of the country press, as Mr..
Hart is an old time newspaper man.,
and bright one too. and it was
through a fellow feeling among the
craft that the country press stood Sc
loyalty by him. But Mr.. Hart is made
of the right stuff He did no. sulk in
his tent when defeated in the prl-
maries. He came out promptly and in
dOrsed the candidacy of his successful
/ rival and is using his influence toward
Mr.. Corkery's election and his infu-
ence will be a strong factor in bring
ing about Mr.. Corkery's election. 1t
may be added here that all the other
unsuccessful republican candidates for
congress, and there were six Of them
from Spokane, have endorsed Mr. Cor
Ikery's nomination and will do all in
their power to secure his election. And
THAT is a force that is going to swamp
Mr.. Dill at the polls on November 7.

C. c. DILL TALKS.

Congressman C. C. Dill spoke in the
Orpheum theatre Tuesday evening to
quite large crowd and it was evident
from the frequent punctures of applause
that he was talking to an audience that
was well sprinkled with adherents to the
cause of democracy. Mr. Dill is not an
orator, but is a good speaker and gave
what would be considered very effect
i've talk from his political point OF view.
a candidate cannot afford to develop the
virtue of modesty or he would not be able
to get anywhere nowadays, and hence Mr..
Dill is not wasting any effort to hide his
light under bushel. AS a campaigner of
the rubber soed variety Mr.. Dill is
smooth one and an ndefatigable worker.
and in his public speeches he is not penur-
ious with his capitals is. If there was any
legislation enacted by the last session of
congt ess that MI. Dill did not have hand
in initiating or carrying out then he failed
to tell about it Tuesday evening. That is
part of the game however and his oppon-
ents do not hold any grudge against him
on that account His utter tEces appealed
especially TO our Canadian neighbOrS. as
it is stated that one in the audience was
conspicuous by his applause.

AID TO HIS CHIEF.

Frank Funkhouser, private secre-
tary for Congressman Dill was q visi-
tor in town Sunday and Tuesday, and
lit kept him busy responding to the
greetings from him many friends In
this community. MIR. Funkhouser
taught school In this county for num-
ber of years, and was a successful and
popular instructor. He took special In
terest in athletics, and while at the
head of the Conconully schools built
up one of the strongest football teams
that has ever taken part In contests on
the gridiron in this county. The Pro-
fessor was very popular among the
school lads, for in all the games IN
which his team took part he was abb
|solutely fair and just. He asked for no
advantage, never played the babysact,
and while loyal to his own boys he
accorded full share of credit to his
opponents. Mr.. ,Funkhouser's popu-
larity in this county is a strong asset
to Mr.. Dill's candidacy, for he'is an
active campaigner, and his personality
carries considerable weight In vote
getting
