Col C W Merchant has returned
o Abilene from a trip to his Reagan

polntmpnls.
At Potosl Wednesday night the of-
fice seekers presented their claims
from the platform In front of the store
and postofflce of the town. A good
crowd wns present who found seats in
the twelve or fifteen automobiles that
had gathered there and also on the
ground and nnywhere thnt wnB com-
fortnhle. Speaking In the open air
wns more pleasant and the school
house wan not large enough to ac-
commodate the crowd.
The speaking Wednesday night was
far better than the night before and
the candidates nil snowed bettor form.
The rough corners nre wearing off
nnd smoother speeches aro the re-
sults. The speaking wns more Inter-
esting from tho fact that the office'
seekers are warming .up nnd answer-
ing each other's arguments. Espec-
ially In tho race for county commls
sloner precinct one where eight men
nre seeking tho same office the speak-
ing Is becoming more Intense nnd
more on the order of n debate. Ill
scleral of the other races also the
opponents nre taking more interest.
In .spite of this pop and answering
of iirgumeutB the candidates arc very
courteous toward each other and do
not engage In mud slinging. In many
instances the speakers said a good
word for their opponents and In some
of the races good friends aro pitted
ngalnst each other. A fair squnro
clean campaign Is being conducted in
tho speaking tour over the county and
perfect harmony prevails at every
meeting
As one of the old settlers of tho
Potosl community remarked. "I be-
lieve candidates are the friendliest
people In the "world" And to this one
ot them replied "Yes' they have a
biting love thnt doesn't last very
long."
In Wednesday's Reporter an ac-
count was given of tho speaking of
the candidates that appeared (it Ham-
by tho night before. Of course the
speeches each nlglit vary to some ex-
tent yet tho same points nre stressed
each time by tho respective candl'
dates So all tho office seekers will
not receive Individual mention In cv.
cry issuo of the paper. It Is only Jus-
tlco to those who were unable to be at
Hamby and who were permitted to
ie at Potosl. to say a word about
them. Practically all the candidates
that spoko at Hamby also spoke at
Potosl. The additional speakers at
Potosl wore as follows:
Arthur A. Hay for Commissioner
precinct one promises If elected to
carefully look after all tho Interests
of tho county and to give fnithful and
efflclont service.
For County Attorney W. IL Gra-
ham who presided Wednesday night
being tho official chairman for the
spunking dates? said in part "I have
boon tho official court stenographer
for ton vears and surely ten years ex-
perience In court work ia enough to
qualify a man for county attornoy.
Whatever I am I am by my own ef-
forts. I will appreciate your vote and
wish to be your next county nttornoy."
For county treasurer J. A. Uoyce
who was not permitted to be at Potosl
on acwunt of sickness In his family
sent his announcement and his claims
by Mr. Graham who read them to tho
crowd. Ho also read a statement
from Dr. Haynes who certified that it
was not bost for Mr. Boyce to attend
the speaking dates Just yet.
For representative J. T. Tucker of
Merkel made a good talk "I favor
changes In tho modo of taxation. I
favor taxing all tho property and not
only the tangible property. 1 am op-
posed to the constitutional conven-
tion" Also for the same office. N. D
Cobb of Merkel presented good;
claims "I favor amendments to elec-
Hon laws. I am for the removing of
the unfortunate Intane from the coun-
ty jails. I am in favor of amending
the warehouse law"
For district attorney N. N. Roseri-
quest present Incumbent of the of-
fice "I believe In efficiency for pub-
lic service. I've goue to school and
have graduated from the State Uni-
versity at the head of my class. I
have been county Judge of my home
county two years and district attorney
two years. I have served In 109 cases
in the district court and secured con
vletiid In SI of them I have done
my duty. Keep me going on up by
oting for me."
For district Judge P. S. Bell of
Baird made a good talk "My record
as county attorney of Callahan county
and as district attorney of this dis
trict at one time is ppen and I ask
you to examine it carefully. The man
for the office of district Judge should
be one of certain experience. For ray
record as a lawyer I refer you to ev-
ery lawyer in my county and every
lawyer that knows me. I have been
In this district since '7S. My entire
life socially politically and all la
before you for inspection. My can-
didacy for district Judge is before you
and your support will certainly be
appreciated.
The speaking Wednesday nigbt last
ed until J 1.45 and interest was good
throughout. Tonight Thursday The
candidates meet at Caps to present
their claims.
In regard to the crops in the Potosl
community they are extremely jood.
..THt.4ttfllSJtORlrR itikHB TgXAl.
Cotton mala nhd com are looking'
fine The crops as a. whole are clean
of weeds and tho recent rain did
hmrli Rood. Corn Is. In full silk and
tnssel and roasting ears will soon lie
plentiful.
About a mile east of Potosl. over
close to the east line of Taylor coun-
ty one of the candidates asked Mr.
l)6nl a prosperous farhior of that
community how he thought the can-
didates In a certain race would run.
The reply wns "t have hardly had
time to leave my farm this year. All
ot us farmers havo been' too busy to
meet and talk politics. However you
will Ret some votes down hero." I'pon
looking nt his crops wc could easily
tell that he has been on tho job all
tho time. His maizo Is perhaps the
best In that part of the country.
Upon talking to many farmers
around Potosl not a one was com-
plaining and ntl were optimistic over
their crops and mld they were nroud
of them.
A Correction.
In Wednesday's ttcporter It was
stated that at the speaking at Hnnlby.
Bugene Detlogo'ry candidate for rep-
resentative said he was In favor of
reducing the salaries of Judgrn of
courts of civil appeal. The correct
statementby Mr. DelJogory Is "I fav-
or reducing the salaries of the clerks
In courts of civil appeal as they get
almost twice as much as tho Judges
of tho courts." And also his taxation
plan as corrected Is "Where now tho
owners of liens on lnnd(smuggle notes
to eVado the tax lawsrI propose to
enforce the law of rendutf ng tho notes
In county where land Is situated by
permitting land owner to pay taxes on
tho notes which payment would be
credited on notes or by prohibiting
note owner from collecting notes upon
which he hns not paid taxes."

30 TO 40 BARRELS

After drilling over twenty-four
hours the bit had penetrated the col-

about I'd feet up to Saturday after-
noon with something like. 30 feet
yet to go. The work Is going on sat-
isfactorily however.
The oil Is now within 200 feet of the
top standing about 1700 feet deep In
the well. Whether it will flow over
the top is a matter of speculation but
hardly probable.
Three men two of them experts and
the third a pretty good amateur make

Tho local chapter f tho American
Red Cross at a meeting Friday night
detorm'nod to give the passing soldiers
some sort of tefrcshments. Tfle "boys"
had been on the road a solid week
nnd were tired dusty and perhaps
hungry. The chnnter figured that
something In the lino of refreshments
would be fairly acceptable to the kna-kl-clad
wnrrlors-to-be and their sur
mise was eminently correct.
Early Saturday morning solicita-
tions were made among just a few
patriotic Abilene citizens with the
iesult that sufficient funds wore ga
thered to purchase orange bananas
and apples (o hand out to the soldiers.

were mainly Instrumental in starting

contributions to the funds.
When the first train rolled In nnd
tarried thirty minutes in order to fill
the water tanks the soldiers wore
presented with oranges and bananas
In abundance. Later on the uauanns

The troops through their Ignorance
of Western manners nnd particularly
their lack of knowledge of Texas' vast

dents. Many of them who were de-
tained at Elmdale. by tho wreck wrote
postal curds honie bearing tho start-
ling news that "this Is a real border
town." Some ot them spying a near-
cowboy shouted: "You're the man wo
