Hon. H A. 0!Neal was called
upon and gave an encouraging
report of the situation Ift the
counties where he had spoken
during the previous week. He
reported large crowds and at-
tentive hearing at all his ap-
pointments. The Ft. Worth
ticket is gaining ground wherever
the issues are beun* explained,
Mr. O'Neal explained , many
points in answer to questions
from the various members of the
oiub. * if
-The Spearman cotton ware-
house has been secured foe the
Bailey speaking. It will seat
1500 or 2000 people. The com-
mittee think this will beat an
open air meeting, of course it
will not hold the crowd. The
speaking is well advertised and
a large crowd will be here.
The Strain of Life.
This is a busy, active world,
and the man succeeds best who
has the greatest health and
strength to fight the battles of
life. You can't be healthy,strong
and clear minded if you suffer

liver trouble, flatulency, heart-
burn, etc. To cure these diseases
take Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pep-
sin, the great regulator. It is
absolutely guaranteed to do what
is claimed, and if you would like
to try it before buying send your
* address for a free sample bottle
to Pepsin Syrup Co., 119 Cald-
well Bldg., Monticello, 111. It is
d by New kirk & Co. at 50c and
per bottle.

The Story of Davidson
Y. Salmon was in
Linden
It is with feelings otdeep hu-
miliation that we publish else-
where the Austin Stateman's
sorrowful story of the attorney
generals shann\ The Post dis-
likes to recount, the details of
the offense of which he has
been guilty and when the States-
man first published it, the Post,
for the sake of the good name of
the state, and in behalf of Texas
manhood, hoped that it was all a
mistake.
But it is not.
It is the plain truth and the
people of Texas are entitled to
know it.
Davidson himself confesses it
and in accordance with his in-
structions Mr *Pabst of Galves-
ton has notified Davidson's
polluted tenants to vacate. The
readers should peruse carefully
the Statesman article, Mr. Dav-
idson's reply and the Statesman's
rejoinder and it will be seen
how the laws of the state have
been trampled under foot by a*
man whose/duty it is to uphold
thein.
*
The Stateman's story fully
shows Davidson's connection
with Galveston's red light dis-
trict. If
Under the laws of Texas it is
made a crime to rent property
for immoral purposes and David
son has beeu committing that
crime ever sine.* he became the
custodian of the property. He
says the property does not be-
long to him, but that it came to
him "as an inheritance to mem-
bers of my family."
There he goes! When con-
fronted with the proof of his
crime and of his league with the
lowest forms of vice, he skulks
like a poltroon behind the skirts
of a woman who has n6thing
whatever to do with the manage-
ment of the property.
Think of it, fellow citizens!
The attorney general of Texas
the landlord of harlots!
Jingling in his pockets the
tainted and pitiful earnings of
prostitutes!
Thriving upon the shame and
misery of fallen womanhood!
Battening upon the guilty
gold of lechery, adultery and all
th£ polluting forms of degen-
eracy !
Taking his toll of strumpets
and pimps!
Sheltering the unspeakable
traffic of the procuress who lays
in wait to debauch the innocent!
And this is the man who af-
fronts the clean hearted, ciean-
minded men and women of this
state with a candidacy for a
third term.
What are you going to do
about it?
Why dosen't the Houston
Chronicle come out arfd defend
him?
Why is the Galveston-Dallas
News silent about it?
What has the Waco Times-
Herald to say about it?
"Why dosen't the Dallas Times
Herald come to the defense of
its candidate, its patriotic land
lord of harlots?
He intimates that he didn't
know the character of the ten-
ants. Do you believe that?
Does anybody in Galveston
believe it? Hasn't the property
been used for such purposes for
years and years and do you sup-
pose Davidsoi) is not acquainted
with the uses to which the prop-
erty is put?
He knows quite well from
which of his firm's corporate
retainers his $100a month comes,
and he knows where the rent
comes from. He can't hide
behind the skirts of an innocent
woman.
There is not a particle of
doubt about the truth of the
Statesman's assertion for David-
son, when exposed, instructed
his agent to put the women out
and the agent says he has given
tliem notice to move.
Every man in Texas who
believes that a,landlord of har-
lots ought to be honored with
high office ought to support
Robert V. Davidson.
He is the man—Houston Post.

choice we malje. This is an age
in which the young business
man is measured by what he can
do. Ability tells the whole
i,ory\ He must be trained to

are thoroughly trained in the
business branches and are full
of energy and ambition always
win in the battle of life. , With-
out doubt and without question
