appeared in costume and presen-
ted a fine appearance. The pro*
gram interspersed with music
and recitations was well carried
out and highly pleasing to the
large audience present. The
Guardian, Mrs. Ella E, Lane de-
serves much credit for the pre-
cision with which everything
was carried out. The Camp Eire

TELEGRAM FROM REV. L f. NETARDUS.
OF TAYLOR, TEXAS, SAYS WILL GO
INTO PRIMARY AUGUST 28.
Tyler, Texas, 3-23-2(f.
Tuesday evening at 2 o’clock and!Hon. W. T. Bagby: •
was listened to by a good sized
crowd. He was introduced by
Hon. Will T. Bagby in his usual
and forcible manner.
The Governor touched prin-
cipally on Socialism, the gradua-
ted land tax put forward by Mr.
Ned. He also discussed the
probable age of Mr. Neff as given
by the records and by Mr. Neff
himself. The records all show
that Mr. Neff was born in 1872
while the family bible places it
in 1871.
The speech was well received
.throughout with frequent £ap-
plause.
During the speaking Mr. W.
T. Bagby read a telegram he had
just received from Rev. L. P.
Netardus advising every one to
vote in the primary..
Answering your in-
quiry, wish to say that I will go
to the primary and vote for
Bailey. My reasons are Tennes-
see passed Woman Suffrage, to
remove danger of Socialistic Gov-
and preserve democracy. Bailey
must be nominated.
Seeing the danger of socialistic
triumph, I see the necessity of
us all participating in the ■pri-
mary,
Rev. L.£P. Netardus,
Pastor of Hallettsville and Praha
Churches, now of Taylor.
