tion Elected.
Associated Press Special.
Houston Texas May 29.—The i
stale domocratic convention con- !
eluded the work for which it met
and adjourned at 12:30 o’clock this
afternoon.
The platform adopted endorses ;
the achievements of the democratic
party in the present session of con-
gress and declares that the Is3ue
is privilege versus the people.
The convention in its platform re- J
affirms the faith of the party as
enunciated in the platform adopted
at Denver.
Tariff revision in the interest of !
the masses is demanded and it is
denied that there are good and boa
trusts.
Presidential primary elections j
and the nomination and election of j
United States senators by 9 direct 1
vo.e of the people comprise o-e of ;
the platform planks.
The convention in the platform
as adopted urges the income tax
as a democratic measure.
The Aldrich currency plan is de-
nounced and the rehabilitation of
fhe monetary system of the nation
is demanded.
The convention declared in the
platform adopted against injecting
the Initiative referendum and re-
call into the presidential campaign
and avoided radical expressions on
free raw material.
There was only one dissenting
vote to these proceedings.
Last Night’s Session
At last night’s session of the
democratic state convention the
Woodrow Wilson forces who were
in complete control elected a solid
delegation of forty Wilson men to
the Baltimore convention instruct-
ed under the unit rule to vote for
Wilson first last and all the time.
?They elected as delegates the men
selected in the Wilson caucus?"with
Cone Johnson’s name leading and
in emulation of the treat-
ment they received at Fort Worth
four years ago they ran the steam 1
roller over the opposition electing
Wilson men as delegates from all
districts regardless of the recom-
mendations of the district delega-
tions.
Delegates at Large
Cone Johnson of Tyler.
Thomas W. Gregory of Austin.
Charles A. Culberson of Dallas.
Thomas H. Ball of Houston.
M. M. Crane of Dallas.
Thos. Campbell of Palestine.
Marshall Hicks of San Antonio.
Robert L. Henry of Waco.

Albert S. Burleson of Austin.
J. W. Stephens of Fort Worth.
Thomas B. Love of Dallas.
Marcellus E. Foster of Houston.
William M. Rice of Houston.
T. S. Garrison of Timpson.
It was in respect to the Galves-
ton-Palestine congressional district
that the Wilson steam roller first
operated in submitting Wil-
son delegates for the Harmon men
that had been named by the district
convention. An interesting feature
of the situation was that Col. Reece
Fowler grandson of John H. Rea-
gan was pitted against Col. Charles
H. Mills son of Roger Q Mills the
former pleading that the recom-
mendations of t*be district in favor
of Harmon men should be respected
and Mills asserting that only Wil-
son men should go to Baltimore.
The benefit entertainment to be
given at the Elks' hall Friday af-
ternoon at four o’clock is to raise
funds for the building of a monu-
ment for the Confederate soldiers.
It will be a musical program by the
Waxahachie Music Club. The ad-
mission is 25 cents children lu

IRRIGATION.
Away out in West Texas
where rain seldom falls the
farmers impound the waters
of the streams and Irrigate
their crops and produce abund-
ant yields. Right hero in Wax-
ahachie the wide-awake mer-
chant “irrigates” his business
with newspaper advertising
and the results are that he In-
creases his sales from month
to month and the “yields” in
profits steadily grow as his
business grows. You may not
be a merchant but perhaps you
have something to buy sell or
exchange. Try a want ad

Moments
When your friend or a
member of your family is
dangerously ill you right-
ly consult the best doctor
you can find. Why not
use the same care in se-
lecting your druggist?
The doctor’s prescription
amounts to nothing if not
filled accurately with pure
fresh drugs.
When a life is in the bal-
ance it is not a question of
how “cheap” but how
“good”. Our service and

Washington May 9.—The report;
that the Cuban government will
have nine thousand troops in the
' Oriente province within the next
few days is greeted here with ex-
pressions of doubt. This report is
believed to be due to the fact that j
President Gomez issued a large num-
ber of rifles to law-abiding citi-
zens to enable them to better pro-
tect their property.
While it is admitted here that the 1
movement is growing steadily
worse in the Oriente province the
declaration is again made that there
is no intention of increasing the
American naval force.
