back from Dallas but anyway every
body knows the debt I owed Joe
Bailey and my sincere affection for
union labor"
Senator r. N. DudIey-"It only goes
to show that am the poorest guesser
81 the world and I wish now had not
jumped so soon with that telegram"
Robert L Holiday-''It sure looks
Ike I am playing in hard luck
thought sure I had the patronage
from FL Paso safely in my hip pocket
after all my gum shOeing, and my
promises I wont be able TO look Bill
and the senator IN the face for a year.
but I would have been some man had
Joe got there"
Mayor Heartbroken.
Mayor Chas. Davis Cby wireless)-
7 am heartbroken over the result;
can't understand why the boys did
not circulate my telegram over the
state more, for I feel sure Il would

scares me. for am afraid. 7 can't win
IN the spring, and what viii Vic and
7 dor

out horse; hereafter. / am going 10
stick TO my business OF selling
tractors and let horse racing alone,
