lished in Fort Worth, with Will I.
Sargent editor, is on our desk. The
publication carries this statement at
its mast head: “The only democratic
political newspaper in Texas." After
perusing the columns of numer one
of the weekly, we are ready to agree ,
with the statement. It is a demo-
cratic paper; democracy of the old
type- the kind the old party has been
drifting away from for many years.
