NUMBER ONE
STATE TICKET IS
NOW MADE UP

| Ine democratic Executive Com
mittee met Monday in Dallas and
made up the list OF candidates for
state offices. There are four can
didates for governor-Neff, Thom-
as. Looney and Bailey.
When II came to placing Bailey's
name on the ballot there was consid-
cradle discussion but went on by a
vote Of Is TO 4.
Some men who voted for It ex-
pressed opinion that Bailey is not
eligible but they are willing to let
il go that way.
John w. Gaines OF Bay City led
opposition. Judge Huff OF Wichita
Falls said the committe had no au-
thority to determine a judicial mat
ter. Luther Nichols, a spectator,
told the committee that the things
they were saying about Bailey are
beneath HIS notice.
H. S. Moran OF Weatherford fav-
ored putting Bailey on the ballot
and said:
81 was among the first number OF
men who years ago met at Dallas
and demanded that he resign as a
representative of the people because
he was carrying the secret code Of
the Waters-Pierce Oil Company in
his coat pocket"
Judge Gaines said that he had al
ways been the personal and politi-
cal friend of Bailey and that he still
was Bailey's personal friend, declar-
ed that the legislature passed a law
last year which denies the committee
the right to put on the ticket tho
name of any man ineligible to hold
office. he said, and therefore, the
committe should not put his name
nthe ticket.
As he concluded his speech, J. d.
Cottrell of Plano asked him what
is the penalty" Gaines then re-
piled that the penalty was not pre-"
scribed.
Wolfe had stated that the obiec-
tions to Bailey named in the pro-
tests we're, first, that he is not
resident of Texas; second, that he
is not a Democrat.
Cottrell then spoke and said that
II was not up to the committee to de-
eide on the eligibility Of any man
nor upon his citizenship, and that
such is a judicial function. Cottreh
soid that he himself did not believe
Bailey either eligible or that he was
a Democrat. but that 1t was not
within his rights to decide questions
like that.
John Davis said that as a matter
ot political expediency he believed
the name OF Bailey should be put
IN the ticket. He sat In the COM
mittee however, by proxy from 1ho'
B. Daniels OF Temple, Who he SAID
had instructed him to vote aeainD'
placing the name Of Bailey on the
ticket and let "us beat the stuffins
,out OF him when he runs
R. E. Huff, of wichita Falls SAID
he believed Bailey a citizen OF Tex
az but whether or not he is a resi-
dent Of Texas is another matter
A s. Moody of Houston. with a
proxy, said he favored placing Ban.
ev's name on the ticket because II
YOU refuse to do so, you Will make
him a martyr"
Joe Cavitt of McGresor said II
would be "expedient to put the name
OF Bailey on the ticket"
I am willing to stand the as
Measure Of putting his name on tne
ticket" he said, "to have the pleas
ure OF scratching IT."

CITY SCHOOL TEACH
ERS GET SALARY IN
CREASE OF 800
New Classification and Salary Seized
ule for Teachers AdOpted--SchOOl
Tax Levy Is Flxed-Eastland
Proposition Continued.

The regular monthly meeting of the
City Board of Education held Friday
evening at the High School building
was most important one and the ses-
sion which began at o'clock lasted
until after midnight so heavy was the
business before the members.
Probably the most important busi-
ness transacted by the board was the
adoption of a classification and salary
schedule which put the teachers in
three classes according to their prep
aration and experience and grades
their salaries according to the class
in which they fall. The requirements
are such that the teachers may from
time to time step up from one class to
another until they reach class A. I'm
der the salary schedule applied under
this classification all teachers will re-
ceive approximately 25 per cent. in
crease in salary next year and some
will get even more. This salary scale
and classification schedule was worked
out by the teachers themselves, Miss
Gray and Professors Berry, Noel and
! Calkins being a committee chosen by
the teachers to draft the system which
is quite fair and yet increases the ef-
ficiency of the local faculty and gives
the members some incentive to in
crease preparation.
The Finance Committee presented
their tentative budget which will go tc
City Council. This budget shows that
the board will need $50,573 from the
city for next year and in this connec-
tion a resolution levying tax of 75
cents for school purposes and an extra
90 cents to retire school bonds was
adopted by the board.
All of the present teachers were re-
elected and Miss Margaret Schirmer
of Client, KY, now at Peabody Uni
versity, was elected as teacher in the
High School. 1t was also ordered thai
two extra teachers, one for the Fifth
ward school and one for the East Enc
colored school be employed. AS there
were no applications these positions
will be filled later.
Petitions from the citizens of this
Sixth ward asking for a new schoo
building were presented and filed ant
the Property committee was instructed
to get an estimate on the cost of al
adequate building and a suitable 10
to hold it for presentation to Council
when a bond issue will be asked foI
by the board.
Petitions from citizens of Eastlant
asking to be taken into the city TO
school purposes only were presente,
and thoroughly considered. Definit
action was postponed until the matte
was taken up by the County Board Q
/ Education.
Mr Ben H. Greenlee resigned a
Secretary of the Board and Frank S
Tolle was elected to succeed him.

WOMEN VOTERS WILL MAKE
CHANGE IN PRECINCTS
Several Precincts In the County VIII
Have To BE Divided When Women
Voters Register.

When the women of Mason county
begin to exercise their right of fran
chise several changes in the machinery
of elections will be necessary. accord
ing to the local politicians who have
been looking into the matter quite a
bit for the past few weeks. II is re-
garded that there will be nearly as
many women voters as there are now
men voters in the county and in sew
eral precincts this will bring the num-
ber OF voters aboue the limit fixed by
law necessitating the division of the
voting precincts.
In the city of Maysville every ward
in the city will have more than the
legal limit and it will therefore be-
come necessary for the six wards to
have at least two voting precincts in
stead of one as at present thus giving
the city of Maysville twelve voting pre-
cincts instead of six. There are also
several precincts in the country dis
tricts which are now almost up to the
legal limit and these precincts will
have to be divided.
Another change that will seem quite
strange will be the appearance ot
women election officers in the polls. Al
the next meeting of the Mason County
Election Commissioners this is ex
pected to come uD for consideration
and at the presidential election in No
vember several women will likely bt
seen at the polls during the day as off
GERS. 1t is pointed out that this will
be a great relief as there has been con
siderable trouble in the past in pro
curing men who would serve as elec
tion officers.

MAY DISTURBANCES
PLANNED COLLAPSE
Federal and State Officials Discover
Plots and Cause Collapse of
Plans of Radicals.

Washington, May l. - Prompt and
vigorous action of the Federal, State
and city authorities throttled the
threatened radical violence of May
Day at its birth. Not an untoward Incl
dent has marked the day.
Never has the strong arm of the law
been so ready for instant seizure of
any violator anywhere as today. Fed
eral troops, Department of Justice
agents, Secret Service operatives, city
police, State militia and American
Legion posts are on guard throughout
the country. Virtually every known
radical is under watch. Every gath
ering of the forces of outrage and vio-
lence is under the closest supervision.
Special care has been taken to safe
guard the members of Congress, the
three Federal judges and an attorney
known according to the Department
of Justice, to have been selected by the
| agitators for assassination.
Assistant Attorney General Garvin
declared that all amazing" amount OF
money had been spent by the Commun-
ist Labor Party in the distribution OF
propaganda and in preparations fol
demonstrations. The money had beer
traced, he asserted, to Amsterdam
where it had been sent from Russia. 4
great part of the literature indicated
the work of Russian agents and nu
merous calls for demonstrations wer,
made in the name of Soviet Russia.

time to enjoy the whole service. That's
the only way to get good idea of
what Sunday school is. Remember
the hour for beginning is $3.50 a. m.
1t has been suggested that there
should be some uniform system of
counting the Sunday school attendance
Many who are not regular attendants
get the idea that all they are wanted
for is to count them. This is not so
Your presence is desired for the whole
