Pure Para Inner
Tubes
Tubes is the heart of the tire. It
is a vital factor in mileage.
*
The life of the tire is largely de-
pendent upon the life of the
tube—wearability—e 1 ast i city—
toughness.
Fisk Tubes give unsurpassed
mileage; are extra strong; stretch-
able; do not become brittle or
spongy, and being the only 97%
pure Para gum tube are not liable
to deteriorate with age.
Fisk Tubes like Fisk Tires
"Wear Longest" giving a max-
imum of economy and safety.
Fisk Tubes are made in only
one quality—the Best. They
contain the best pure Para rub-
ber that it is possible to obtain.
Fisk Tubes plus Fisk Tires,
regular or Bolted-On form an
ideal combination for long ser-
vice.
Of course our tubes are suited to ,
any make of tire.

Found Guilty of Manslaughter.
Special Telegram to The >:*pre,«.
MaIu.IN. Teit, June 14.—O. r. Spencer,
on trial charged with killing G. W
Thomas In Msrlln about three years ago,
was declared guilty of manslaughter by
a Jurt In the District Coutt today His
punishment wag assessed at three year* In
the penitentiary. A new trial will be ap-
plied for.
It la not what we think, but what we
can prove beyond reasonable doubt con
Determination to roll up for Governor
Colquitt In the July primary the great-
est majority ever cast by Bexar County
for an}' candidate In the history of the
State was the keynote of the Colquitt
Club meeting in Turner Hall last night.
It was announced that while the ad-
herents of Judge Ramsey in San Antonio
are not making much noise they are none
the less active, and since the sole Issue
Involved in this campaign is the question
of prohibition it behooves evory unti In
Bexar County not only to volte himself
on July 27, but to see that hi« friends
and neighbors who feel as he does to
vote, too.
The» meeting was called to order by
the president of the club, Martin j
Arnold, and despite limited notice given
there were many members present. Mr*
Arnold first read a telegram from Boh
Barker, candidate for Comptroller, thauk
lng the club for pledging its support to
him.
It was announced that owing to other
engagements It would be impossible for
Governor Colquitt to be 1n San Antonio
June 26, as had been planned, but that
he would make a special effort to be
here and make at least one speech be-
fore the date set for the primaries.
GOVERNOR IS COMING.
In explaining tills, Mr. Arnold said:
"Governor Colquitt has to make his
campaign dates conform to his execu-
tive duties, and it is not possible for
him to be in all the cities Just whap
he desires. He has assured us, however,
that he will be in San Antonio before
the primaries. It is our duty to see
that he gets the votes to which he aiid
the principles for which he stands are
justly eutitled at the hands of the
Bexar County electorate. To do that it
will only be necessary to get out the
vote. There is no use in seeking to
make converts, just get out the vote.
Governor Colquitt's position on the, pro-
hibition question Is that it is settled
In Tf-xas for a generation, while his
opponent says If lie is elected he will
try to fasten prohibition on us whether
we want It or not. Neither man is given
to idle talk, and if the citizens of San
Antonio wish to retain their personal
liberties they should do their part and
vote for Governor Colquitt."
R. 11. Ward was Introduced as the
speaker of the evening. In part ho
said:
"There is but one issue in this gu-
bernatorial campaign, and it Is that of
prohibition. The trouble with (he bulk
of the people In this State is they do
not realize this, and some of the antis,
I fear, will sulk in their tents, thus
jeopdardlzing the very principles for
which they claim to stand.
"In the first place the pros of this
State had been trying for years to get
the submission of a constitutional amend-
ment before the people, but as it re-
quires a two-thirds majority In the Leg-
islature, they could never have gotten it
but for the decision of the antis to
make a test with the understanding that
the result of this election would setle
the prohibition question in Texas for
years to come."
Mr. Ward then declared that the pros
acted In bad faith ill not accepting the
results of the State-wide election last
summer, and that if fraud was com-
mitted, as charged, both sides were cul-
pable. In speaking of Judge Ramsey,
Governor Colquitt's opponent, Mr. Ward
said:
"I know Judge Ramsey, have known
him for twenty-live years, and person-
ally know him lo be a high-toned, hon-
orable, gentleman. Knowing him as 1
do It Is inconceivable to me that he
would announce a platform of his In-
tentions, if elected Governor, and not
seek to carry them out. Now of what
does this platform consist? He says,
if he is elected, he will seek first, to
have the prohibition question again sub
mltted to the people, and failing in this
he will recommend the enactment of a
quart law and a law prohibiting the
sale of liquor within ten miles of a
schoolhouse .
"And, what is more, gentlemen, I
greatly fear that if he is elected Judge
Ramsey will have a Legislature which
can be depended upon to do his bidding.
The indications arc that the State Sen-
ate will have a pro majority of one or
two find possibly four, while the house
will be pro by front four to ten.
PROHIBITION AN ISSUE.
"I know that some of Judge Ram-
sey's friends hn' telling you he is not
wedded to the prohibition doctrine and
are seeking lo make proseyltes from
among the anti forces They claim pro-
hibition is not the Issue, anyway. Gen-
tlemen. If prohibition is not the issue
why Is JiijJge Ramsey running for Gov-
ernor against Colquitt? It has been
the practice In this State, to give a
Governor who has done his duty or
sought to do it a second term. This was
done for T. M. Campbell, and how much
more should it be done for O. B. Col-
quitt, who, I say, has made the best
Governor Texas has ever had?
"You all know how Colquitt stands
on the question of prohibition. ]|« ,|P.
dares the Issue was settled at the polls,
and while he is for sane regulation
of the liquor traffic, such as will m|n.
lmize the evils, lie doos not wish to
wipe out the Industry which is such
a factor in the prosperity of the State.
How, under these circumstances, anv
antl can get his own consent to vote
against Governor Colquitt pusseth nil
understanding And, furthermore. I want
to say to you. that If Colquitt Is sac-
rificed It will be upon the altar of
prohibition.
"In conclusion I wish to urge you.
each and every one, to go to the polls
July 27, ami go there early—your vote
will count just as much at 8 o'clock
• a m. as at 8 o'clock p. m. Governor
Colquitt and the antis of Texas look
to you to do your duty, and If you do
anA the other antis of the State do
likewise, we will renominate Governor
