D. P. McCalib made the
race for Congress on an outlay
of $3-00 but when we note how
badly he got beaten by Hatton
Sumners we are inclined that
he did not get his money's

She Won
-oo-
The Democrats of Texas de-
feated Mrs. Ferguson in the
first primary and' on August
28, they are going to repudiate
her by the most decesive ma-
jority ever registered in Texas.
She says there is not much dif-
ference between the "pangs of
■defeat and the pleasure of vic-
tory." Her husband went out
of office dishonored and1 dis-
graced1, and so will she.
Unselfish Matrimony
A clergyman whose wife is

From the back row came in
a low tone: "I'll bet that's the!

A young lady not familiar
with the switching language
railroad men happened to be
walking ne4r the depot where
a freight train was being
made up. One of the brakeman
shouted: "Jump on her when
she comes by, run her down by
the mill, cut her in two and
bring the head end up by the
depot."
"Help! Murder!" screamed
the young lady as she fainted
and fell into the arms of a

lady, accompanied by a friend
came into the office of Byrae

about a course in Shorthand

mation desired she was still
reluctant and undecided for
the reason that she fertted she
would nat be able to find em
ploy in en t after finishing. She
being a widotfr with two small
children and none too much of
the worldly goods, would
naturally hesitate to put out
the money necessary. Through
the persuasion and encourage,
ment of her friend and/ the as-
surance of the secretary that
he shotild have no difficulty
in finding a position, and that
their employment department
would assist her, she made the
start. She graduated in just
two months and made good in
every department of the work.
Just about that time a gentle-
men from one of the large con-
struction .firms, handling
iarge jobs, running into the
millions, came into the Byrne
Commercial College Employ-
ment office in search df a
te«ographer and secretary
He stated that it was his cus-
tom to employ help from the

but this paper goes to press
just before this meeting is to

They now have fifteen or
more signed nip, so it seems
certain that Mesquite will

the notice the minister wrote:

FROM R. A. (BOB) VINEYARD
I am very grateful to the
voters of Mesquite and other
boxes in this part of the coun-
ty, where I made my home for
many years, for the splendid
vote given me in the first pri-
mary, and though there are
but few candidates in the run-
eff, I hope thjt all my friends
vill make it a point to go <ut
Jtid vote on August 28
Mr. Bishop likewise lived at
Mesquite and Seagoville, in
iKth of which places he had
the opportunity to and! did
make many friends. He is a
clever and capable gentleman
*nd naturally received many-
votes that would have come to
me had he <ivot been in tbe race.
I can not blame them for that,
but now that he is no longer a | ^'ate for Governor
candidate, I heartily and' cor
riially invite, their support. My
experience as a deputy and
Chief Deputy in the office of
the Tax Assessor thoroughly
qualifies me for the deities of
that office and if the voters of
the county see fit to nominate
me I know that I will make
good and I will certainly lie
vtry grateful, indeed.
Yours trulv,
R. A. (Bob) VINEYARD.

Governor To Enter
The Second Primary
In a long statement, pre-
pared by her husband, but giv-
en <*'.t in her name Wednesday
Governor Miriam A- Ferguson
announced her intention tf
continuing a candidate for
Governor in the second' pri-
mary election, to be-held on the
28th «*f this month. This state-
ment is made notwithstanding
the fact that she announced
right after the first primary
that Mr. Moody's lead was so
great that she would withdraw
from the race.
In her announcement Wed-
nesday, she stated that Moody-
had never accepted her chal-
lenge to resign, based' on the
results of the first primary.
This claim is made new in spite
f the fact that up to a few
days before the first primary
she admitted that Moody had
accepted her challenge and that
she would comply with the pact
if M odv led.
Here is her challenge made
in her opening speech at Sul-
phur Springs, on May 22:
"So J bring this challenge to
the attorney general. The pri- j
maries come mi July 24. Re-;
gardless of tbe result, he and I
could stay in office until the
second Tuesday in January,
1927. But I will agree that if
lie leads tw one vote in the pri-
mary that I will immediately
resign without waiting until
next year, if he will agree that
if I K ad him 25,000 votes in the
primary on July 24. he will im-
mediately resign.
Dan Moody's acceptance, is
reported in his San Antnoio
speech on the same night fol-
lows :
"So eager am 1 to rid Texas
of the whole outfit and every-
thing they stand fo<r and repre-
sent that I accept the chal-
lenge issued by Jim in his
wife's name. It draws the line
sharper than ever, it makes it
impossible and unnecessary to
discuss anytUng else than Fer-
gusonism, it assures the State
a short, quick and decesive en-
gagement with a final result on
the night of July 24. . 1 accept
the challenge.
The balance of her (Jim's)
statement is about on a par
with the claim that Moody did
not accept the challenge.
Failing in her promise to re.
sigs "immediately," Mrs. Fer-
gtirson indicated in a statement
given out about two weeks
ago that she would resign
about Nov. 1. Now she takes it
all back and makes it clear that
she does not intend to resign
at all.
At the meeting of the State
Democratic executive com-
mittee in Dallas, Monday. A
L. Curtis of Melton on behalf
of Governor Miriam A. Fergu-
ston. presented a communica-
tion in which it was claimed
that Dan Moody Ivad rendered
himself inelegible as a catidi
