can votes.
The defeat of State Senator Oliver
S. MetZerott in his home county came
as a surprise. The senator was
particularly active against the anti
organization forces in the recent
primary contest in the Republican
party, and he failed TO receive the
full vote of his party Tuesday. The
other Republican candidates also
were cut right and left by the anti
organization folks.
1t is also significant that four Of
the Republican candidates who were
supposed to be favorable to the Bowie

the University of Texas, but is also
believed to be the first man to enter
the closely-guarded precincts OF the
Catholic dormitory Of the institution,
where the fair Juliet was virtually
imprisoned by her parents in their
attempt to thwart the plans of the
determined swain.

an ultimatum from his unwilling
father-in-law, which made the match
appear impossible, and standing be-

Arriving at the depot shortly before

the face of threats and protests Of the
sisters. forcibly carried out the brides

Scarcely more than started on their

them into a baggage car from the OPP

they started their homeward journey
