~~ PERISHED IN THE BIG
To the Democracy of Toxus:
in announcing my candidacy for
C'uiitri'Wi, from iln State-ut-l.argc in
tho July prlinutv 1910, i wish to first
express to you my sincere tluinks
and gratitude for tin? honor you Itavo
bestowed upon me in the pant.
In the year 1912, I entered the
1>omocrntlo primary, as a candidate
for Congress from the State-at-l.argc,
and published lo tile people the plat-
form of principles upon which I stood
und in behalf of which I made a per-
sonal campaign of tlx- State, solicit-
ing their support and influence. I
was by them nominated by a safe
plurality—an honor for which I am
dally grutcful.
Advocated Nomination of Wilson.
During the early part or that cam-
paign. without reRurd for my own
political welfare, I openly espoused
the cause of Wood row Wilson for the
Democratic nomination for President.
He was nominated and triumphantly
elected President of these United
States, together with a Democratic
Senate and Mouse of Repreacntutlvea.
lVi^lilnit Wilson Convenes Congress.
Mr. Wilson was Inaugurated on tho
4th day of March, 1913, and conven-
ed the 03I'd Congress In extraordinary
session on the 7th of April follow-
ing: ami Congress remained in con-
tinuous session from ttint date until
the Poll of 1911.
Under the leadership of President
Wilson, the Democrats of the ll3rtl
Congress set themselves about to re-
deem tlie platform pledges made to
the people at the Haltimore Conven-
tion. This was in truth and In fact
a. stormy session, long drawn out.
During all this long and trying ses-
nlon, I steadfastly stood by President
Wilson In carrying on! Ids progress-
ive legislative programme, and re-
deeming our platform pledges.
Tariff Reform.
One of Hi" tirsi dull s confronting
the parly was a revision of the Tariff.
This was done by placing upon the
Statute books the lowest, most Just
and equitable tariff that lias been en-
acted since the famous Walker Tariff
law of 1816.
This Tariff law contains the long-
est "FVee-1l t." Including farm Im-
plements. that any tariff bill lias ever
curried in the history of the Republic.
Income Tax.
for many, many years the Demo-
cratic party has been tho fearless
champion of an Income law and, tn
obedience to our platform pledge, the
Sixty-third Congress passed an In-
come Tax law, whereby the Immense
■wealth of the country Is now com-
pelled to bear a more Just und equltn.

crnment thun heretofore.

1 believe all Impartial people will
How concede that t he vRAN K I N<1 and
CJTRRKNCY I<A\V enacted by the
63rd Congress is the greatest and
most far-renehing piece of construc-
tive legislation had upon tills subject
In the last three generations.
This law tukes the control of Ihe
money and credits of the country out
of the hands of the money leitth.ru
and speculators of the lOast and
places It In Ihe hands of I lie people's
Government, where it properly be-
longs.
Under litis new system our people's
money need nol lie sent lo New York
t*lty as heretofore, but may be kept,
junong themselves, In their own lie.
gional Reserve Hank which Is locat-
ed at Dallas, Texas. I exerted all Ihe
Influence at my command lo secure

Anil-Trust U«.
The Anti-Trust laws were amend-
ed so that tho same would lie more
certain and effective In dealing with
unlawful monopolies and combina-
tions In restraint of trade; and pro-
viding punishment for lis violation
wllh a term o> years In the peniten-
tiary. Many Other laws were passed
by the House of Representatives de-
signed to aid and protect our farmers,
laboring men, and all legitimate In-
dustrial enterprises,
Rural Credit System.
1 believe' Congress should estab-
lish i comprehensive workable Rural
Credit System, whereby the farmers
of our country and our home builders
might obtain money al a low rate of
Interest, and on such time as would
aid them In mnklng. holding and mar-
keting their products, anil for the
payment of their homes. This law
should apply to all home builders.
PrrpurnlncM fur National Ocfpi'ii'.
T come now to a question that
should at this time give concern to
every thoughtful cltlr.cn of our com-
mon country. I believe most of my
feMow ottlxens will nirrre with me
Wh 'ti 1 say. 1 have a deep seated ab-
horrence nnd hatred for war, and we
all sincerely hope ond nray tlint our
peimle and our country will never

cruel and relentless hand. Candor
Imnels me to say that heretofore I

A lull's In- ri
\ lilcgruiu was received by tlciirgc
Mallow of tills clly Thursday night
from Iteb n. New Mexico, announcing
death of Ills sister, Miss (iracc Mal-
low, which occurred there at 7.1.1
o'clock Thursday evening. Miss Mal-
low, accompanied by her mot In r,
Mrs. tl. P. Mallow, went to Helen a
little more thun two years ago for
the benefit of her health. She had
been lu declining health for the past
twelve or fifteen years.
Deceased was 31 yours, 3 months
and 10 days of age. She was born and
reared about three miles north of Mo-
Klnney, and was a consistent member
of the Christian church.
Deceased Is survived by her mother
and three brothers, George Mallow of
| McKinney, Pierce Mi.llow of Denlson,
| Texas, and Reedier Mallow of Helen,
Now Mexico. She Is also survived by
.the following half-brothers and liaif-
]sisters: Smith Mallow of Vernon, Al-
lle Mallow of Port Worth, Hob Mallow
of Sanger, Charlie Haskette, Winslow,
Arizona, and Mrs. Punnle Warden of
Greonv I lie.
Tliu deceased was born Nov. II,
1881, on the old homestead of her
father, the late i >. P. Mallow, about
four miles north of MoKlnney. She
was a young lady of many noble (rails
of cliaracler—lovable, sympathetic
and considerate. She was a member
of the christian church and an earn-
est Christian both in faith and prac-
tice. Many relatives and frit lids
mourn the premature passing of Miss
Grace. Hut tlie.v arc consoled by the
knowledge thai she lias entered up-
on rest in a realm unknown to suf-
fering, death or parting any more.
The memory of her pure, sweet life
Is a comforting thought to every be-
reaved loved one and a solace to
every saddened heart.

The Teutons are feeling out the
Preneli lines along a Ioo-mile front

Paris dispatches today reported a
slackening of German urtlilcry fire
on flie eight-mile front north and
northeast of Verdun during th«
greater part or yeHterdny. This waa
undoubtedly due, Purls auid, tn the
shirting of urtlilcry by Ihe crown
prince and to the need of bringing up
fresh reserves to lake the place of
the regiments bottled out in the first
week of fighting.
