.CULBERSON LOOMING
IN THE TEXAS PRIMARY
Believed He Will Win Renomina.
tion for Senatorship-0thers
in the Race.

AUSTIN. Tex, June 1.-two de.
velopments In the senatorial race in
Texas for nomination to the seat held
by senior United States Senator
Charles A. Culberson have failed
during the present week to shake the
general conviction now prevailing
that Senator Culberson will go into
the second primary. to be held In
August. and that il he does so he will
be certain of reelection.
Former Senator Joseph Weldon
Bailey. who controls a certain ele.
ment of the democratic party, came
out with definite announcement
to his followers he will support Clar-
senatorial race. Mr.. Ousley. former
assistant secretary of agriculture Of
the United States. is well known
throughout the state. but is not be-
lieved strong enough to figure in the
Bailey's support has raised his stock
somewhat. it is still believed he can
not make the second primary.
Former Governors Strategy.
The other development is a stroke
by former Gov. James E. Ferguson,
marked by all the brilliant political
strategy by which he. as an obscure
small-town banker. defeated the DO
litical machine when he was elected
governor. Gov. Ferguson, advocate
of light wines and beer plank in
the democratic state platform, and
advocating this In his campaign for
senator, secured more than $4,000 Sig
natures of voters to a petition to the
state executive committee to have q
referendum on this subject submit
ted to the voters In the primary cleo
tion.
There will be hardly 100000 votes
cast in the primary this year. because
of lack of interest in state Offices. all
important positions being virtually
uncontested second terms. 1t Is ad-
mitted that Ferguson's petition sign
ers are potential supporters of his.
and 1t also Is known that ha has rot
reached all his supporters. even with
predicted heretofore, he has definite
ly placed himself among the leading
contenders for run-off with Senator
Culberson in the second primary elec-
tion.
Outstanding Figure.
Aggressive. brilliant, virtually un-
educated, considered somewhat of a
martyr, disliked with fervor which
stimulates interest, admired az q Sec
ond Joseph W. Bailey by his follow
ers, a born leader who when in pow
er will listen to no counsel or ad-
vice, Ferguson is in some respects
in Texas history except Joseph w.
Bailey. He is likelv to be In the
second primary, and he also is liable
to figure in, IL not dominate, some
phases Of Texas political affairs dur.
ing the next few years.

Heppner Baseball Promot-
ers Are Greatly Encouraged

Those who have in charge the pro-
motion Of baseball for the coming
season at Heppner, feel greatly Ella
ted over the splendid support the
people of Heppner are giving them.
In passing around among the busi-
ness men and soliciting numerous
others, a very substantial sum of
money was raised Wednesday to as
sist in getting uniforms and other
equipment for the boys, and also
to aid in the placing Of the ball
grounds at Gentry field in first class
condition. The response was spon-
taneous and generous, and the propo-
sition of good local ball team is
being received with enthusiasm.
The boys will need to raise more
money, however, and for this pur-
pose tag day is to be observed to-
morrow, Friday, and on Saturday
evening benefit dance is to be CIV
en- at the pavilion. Be prepared to
buy tag on ST. Patrick's day and
then you can further assist by pur-
chasing a ticket for the dance on
Saturday evening.

AND TRIED
ON WRONG CHARGE

A man giving the name of Jack
Stone was taken before Judge Camp
bell Monday afternoon and given a
hearing as to his sanity. He was
examined very closely by DR.. C. c.
Chick, county physician and Dist.
Atty. S. E. Notson, who pronounced
the man mentally deficient, but not
insane.
Stone is a foreigner, evidently an
Austrian, and was accused of holding
up Pete Farley on the street earlier
in the day and demanding of him
payment of ten dollars, which he
claimed Pete owed him for some
blankets. Pete complied with the re-
quest and wrote out a check which
the fellow cashed. From his actions
Farley thought he must be insane,
and had him arrested on this charge
The case was not proven against
Stone, and so far we believe Pete
is still out the ten.
There was considerable evidence,
also, that Stone had embibed too
freely of moonshine, and just why he
became obsessed with the idea that
Pete had stolen his blankets, Mr.
Farley does not know, though he had
met the fellow last spring while look
ing after bunch Of sheep for John
Kelly at Cecil for few hours. Stone
had been doing some work with Viz
Groshens at the concrete bridge in
Heppner during the past week.

BROTHERHOOD HAD
REGULAR MEETING

The regular monthly meeting of
the brotherhood at Hotel Patrick on
Monday evening was interesting
The program consisted OF vocal solos
by Coramae Crawford, Velma Case
and Mrs. Delbert Clabaugh, and
reading by Miss Quesinberry, and
each performer received a hearty en-
core. The usual good eats were serv-
ed by the hotel management and the
attendance of members was good,
though not up to normal.
Following this there was a discus
sion of reconstruction, c. c. Calkins
opening in a fine speech, and he
was granted the courtesy Of an ex-
tension of time in order that all his
points might be presented. His ad-
dress showed evidence Of careful
preparation, and it as well received.
A. S. Akers followed, and being one
member of the Brotherhood that is
gifted with the talent of putting his
thoughts into verse, he expressed his
views in this rather novel manner,
and his points were well made. Pres
ident Livingstone closed the discus
sion in a short address, pointing out
some of the deplorable conditions ex-
isting today and forcibly calling at
tention to the fact that we must get
away from that line of thought that
separates one nation or race of peo-
pie from another, all nations have
their rights and their place in the
world, and should be so treated;
when this is the prevailing attitude
then we shall be freed in large
measure from tine menace of wars
and the resulting consequences.
The Brotherhood also passed mo-
ton unanimously endorsing the work
of the county nurse, and favoring the
continuance of her work in the coun-

HENRY GAY SELLS
RHEACREEK RANCH

A deal in real estate of consider
able importance was consummated
the past week, when Henry c. Gay,
pioneer Rhea creek resident dispos-
ed of his alfalfa and dairy farm to
R. E. Allstott of Eight Mile. The
consideration is said to be in the
neighborhood Of $4,000, and posses
sion passes to Mr.. Allstott immedi-
ately.
This has been the home of Mr..
Gay and family for many long years,
and the place is one of the best i'm
proved and most productive small
farms on Rhea creek. Mr.. Gay ex-
poets to find smaller place, per-
haps at Hermiston, where he can
live in comfort for the declining
years and enjoy a little more ease
and relaxation, while Mr.. Allstott will
move his family to his new place
and engage in the sheep business.
The Eight Mile farm will be taken
charge of by his son, so our inform
ant states.

County Rodent Fund
Just Suits Farmers

The farmers over the county have
been mighty we'll pleased with the
way the rodent fund provided by the
people of the county at the last eIec-
ton has worked out. Our rabbit cam
paign was a genuine success largely
due to the fact that we had money
with which to buy the poison. In
counties where they do not have a
rodent fund very few men are will
ing to buy the poison and there is a
lack of united effort. We have had
almost unanimous cooperation.
1t is working equally well with oul
squirrel poison, The poison and
other ingredients outside of the grain
are purchased from this fund. The
farmer brings in his grain which is
poisoned free of charge. Again il
means full cooperation and a sue.
cessful campaign.
The sheepmen appreciate the ro
dent fund because it is assisting ir
maintaining government hunters anc
trappers in this county, response

of the county came in last week il

as an experiment and has given sucl
great satisfaction that they are insist
