ASSISTANT ATTORNEYS GENERAL
GIVE REASONS FOR SUPPORT-
ING HIS CANDIDACY.
DOCUMENT SIGNED BY SIX
A
In henrty endorsement of his candidacy
for Attorney General of Texas, the As-
sistant Attorneys General, his associates,
In the office at Austin, have given to the
public an address in behalf of James 1).
Walthall of San Antonio. In the course
of the address It is said:
"Mr. Walthall has been In the offlca of
the Attorney General for more than four
years, first as an assistant under Attor-
ney General fR. V. Davidson, and fTien
under Attorney General Lightfoot, and
for more than two years he has been
first assistant, which position consti-
tutes him the Acting Attorney General
In the absence of that officer, and cir-
cumstances have been such that he has
frequently been the acting head of the
department, and his course as such has
been wonderfully successful and not sub-
ject to Just adverse criticism.
"Prior to coming to this office h« was
associated In the practice of law with
I^eroy G. Denman, Thomas H. Franklin
and Fliiyd McGown of San Antonio, a
strong law firm. Judge Denman having
formerly been on tho Texas Supreme
bench.
"Mr. Walthall's success In this office,
In his practice before all the State courts,
beforo the Supreme Court of tha United
States, and the character of his official
opinions (both as Assistant and Acting
Attorney General) give abundant evi-
dence of his splendid ability as a lawyer,
lie Is thoroughly familiar with all the
affairs of the Attorney General's Depart-
ment and is necessarily better equipped
than any new man possibly can be to
perform the varied, arduous and respon-
sible duties pertaining to the high office
bo seeks, and we confidently believe
that it Is to the best Interests of Texas
that ha should receive the Democratic
nomination and be elected Attorney Gen-
eral of the State.
"Wo have been In the office with Mr.
Walthall for many months, some of us
for more than two years, and have
watched his course, officially and other-
wise, and do not hesitate to assert that
his excellent qualities as a lawyer and a
gentleman and his uniform courtesy and
kindly treatment, not only toward his
associates, but toward all who have busi-
ness with the department, have most
highly commended him to all those who
have come In contact with him and made
them his strong supporters."
The address is signed by John W. Brady
Of Travis County; Seb F. Caldwell of
Titus County, C. E. Mead of Hunt Coun-
try, E. B. Robertson of Bosque County,
O. C. Funderburk of Anderson County,
John L. Terrell of Dallas County (for-
merly of Kaufman County).

YOUR HAIR
Simple Way to Quickly Restore
Natural Color.
It Is not difficult to restore youthful
eolpr of your hair If you will only use
the right method.
There are many dyes and stains recom-
mended for coloring the hair, but a newly
discovered preparation, the Queen Gray
Hair Restorer, meets all desired need* and
has none of the objections of the old-
fashioned hair dyes.' This Is a scientific
treatment that can be applied by anyone
and will restore the natural color of the
hair Immediately. Follow the simple di-
rections on the package and any desired
shade can be given. This method leaves
the hair soft and velvety, gives a lasting
color that Is not sticky, does not rub off
and Is so natural in appearance that no
one would suspect that your hair was
ever gray or faded.
The Queen Grny Hair Restorer requires
but one application and as it Is so easy
to use, the best hairdressers rely upon It
and recommend it to their patrons. It Is
in two sizes, 60c and $1.00, and can be
obtained from II. L. Wagner and the lead,
lng drug and department stores through-
out the country.

SORE FEET RELIEVED
BYSIMPppTMENT
A Household Remedy Sofgested
By H. L. WAGNER
Foot troubles can be quickly re-
lieved by applying Mentolated Suet at
night after bathing and drying the feet
thoroughly. This household remedy
will relieve scalded feet so common in
summer time. It has also been found
almost a specific for itching feet, es-
pecially in cases where the skin blis-
ters up snd breaks. Simply apply it to
the affected parts—for aching, tired
feet Mentolated Suet should be rubbed
In well. The relief is quick. Mento-
lated Suet is an old-time remedy made
of fan mutton suet amfchealinc oils.
That tho annual session of the Texas
Bankers' Association, to be held in tills
city May 7, 8 and 9, will be the greatest
and the most Interesting gathering of
any State organization of the year, Is the
opinion of W. B. (Buck) Taylor of the
Boatmen's National Bank of St. Louis.
Mr. Taylor is the first of the hundreds
of bankers from outside States to arrive.
He was here in February and was so
eager to get to the Stata convention that
he came ahead of time.
A special train of St. Louis and Chi-
cago bankers will reach San Antonio
over tne Missouri, Kansas & Texas Hall-
road Monday evening and, Mr. Taylor
says, thre will be many of tho most
prominent financiers of both cities In the
delegation. Among the St. Louisiana will
ba- B. F. Edwards, president, and Tom
Randolph, vice president, of the National
Bank of Commerce of that city. Mr.
Randolph is a native Texan and is al-
ways glad when there Is a reasonable ex-
cuse to cause him to return to the State.
There will arrive, also over the Katy,
Monday evening at 7:25 o'clock, another
special train loaded with bankers and
their families from North Texas. This
train will he made up exclusively of
sleepers, baggage car and diner. It will
leave Fort Worth at 9:10 tomorrow morn-
ing and will pick ui> several sleepers out
of Dallas at Hillsboro. Stops will be
made at Waco, Temple, Granger, George-
town, Austin, San Marcos.

Plans for the soliciting campaign by
which it is proposed to raise $75,000 t.o
pay the debts and rescue the property
of the International Fair Association
from tha receivership suit in which it
Is now Involved, will be formulated at a
lunchcon for tho workers at tho St. An-
thony Hotel Monday noon. F. M. Swear-
lngen will be the host, and the guesta
will include thoso who will bo expected
to captain or serve as members of sub-
scription teams.
Active work In raising this money
probably will start not later than Tues-
day morning, and It is believed the full
amount will be subscribed by Saturday
night. Tha fund is to he obtained by
the sale of bonds in denominations of
$100, which will bear 6 per cent inter-
est. The money will be used to clear
up all outstanding debts, and the prop-
erty will be owned by the bondholders.
These bondholders then will organize an
operating company, which will have
charge of giving the Fair.
The three trustees who will net for
the bondholders are Dr. Frederick Ter-
rell, Fred W. Cook and Henry L. Halff.
John B. Carrington will have general
charge of the campaign for raising the
money, and this has already been
launched in an appeal which has been
sent out to the business men of San
Antonio. Tho response to this appeal
has been encouraging. Among those
who had signed subscription blanks up
to last night were:
San Antonio Printing Company, San
Antonio Supply Company, Dr. Robert
E. Moss, Lange Soap Company, Piper &
Stiles, Merchants' Transfer Company,
William Basse Hardware Company,
Deckman Coffeo and Spice Mills, Alfred
Giles, John J. Stevens, It H. Wester,
J. M. Vance, L. P. Peck, Sam C, Bell,
Southwestern Bee Company, DiV Fred
Terrell, Joske Bros. Company, Washer
Bros. Company.
PLAN TO RAISE *75.000.
In discussing the outlook for saving
tlio Fair Mr. Carrington said:
"It is needless to discuss tho valua
of tha International Fair to San Anto-
nians. It has been In the past, and "If
continued will still be a mighty factor
l-i the upbuilding of this community and
one we cannot afford to let die for
tho want of enthuslastio support. To
save tho Fair will require approximately
$73,000, and a method has been devised
by which this amount can bo raised in
the form of an investment. Subscriptions
to these bonds will not be a gift or a
bonus, for there is not the slightest
doubt that tho property as It stands
today is worth considerable in excess
of the amount needed. Whv, the land
Itself, Just about eighty acres, if cut up
would yield in the neighborhood of 4G0
lots, and at $200 a lot pay out on the
investment. In point of fact, lots In
that part of the city are now selling
for from $000 to $1,000. Thus tha bond-
holders will be amply secured.
"But we do not consider this as a
simple real estate deal. It is far more
Important than that to the citizens of
San Antonio. It must be borne in mind
that tha Inemational Fair Association,
as now organized, is bankrupt, and If
control of tho property passes from the
hands of those who deslro to sea tha
Fair retained It will be ten years before
the project could be revived, and would
then cost not less than a quarter of a
million dollars. Thero is no other tract
so admirably located. All this, however,
is well known, and It merely remains
for the citizens of San Antonio to show
their faith in their city and themselves.''
The International Fair was organized
In San Antonio thirteen years ago, and
it lias Just about paid operating ex-
penses. Tho debts now outstanding In-
clude $23,000 to Sam Berliner for the
purchase of the property, $20,000 to the
Traction Company for the construction
of tho doublo track to the grounds, and
tho balance In unsecured claims for tho
operation of the Fair last year. Tha
receivership was sought by Mr. Berliner
several weeks ago, and tho entire prop-
erty Is subject to sale. Tho proposal is
that tho subscribers to tho $75,000 bond
issue buy In tho property by paying all
the claims against It.
