VOL. 1. NO. 294.
TEMPLE, TEXAS, TUESDAY MORNNG, OCTOBER 27,1908.
FBICE FIVE cum.
IS THE VERY
JILL RESIGN 1 OFFICE OF
OF TEMPLE I
The local Political Pot already is Boiling
—Prospective Candidates heard of
A-grooming
Thru an authentic source yester-
day it was learned by The Daily
Telegram that Hon. Wm. Qinnuth
will present to the city council to-
night, his resignation from the office
of Mayor of Temple.
What the result of the Mayor's
action will be is a matter now dif-
ficult to predict. In any event, the
Mayor is understood to have reached
a finality in his conclusion to with-
drew from the office, which, it would
seem, l*ares nothing for the coun-
cil to do except receive and accept
ibis official document.
Has Had This Under Consideration
For Some Time.
Information of the Mayor's inten-
tions will occasion widespread sur-
prise in the city. On the other hand
this paper has been aware for two
months past that Mayor Glnnuth has
had under consideration, the expe-
diency of withdrawing from the of-
fice. "His reasons are more personal
than otherwise for taking this step,
some of them to be outlined in his
official communication when present
ed, however.
Rumors Galore of Candidates Already
Being Groomed.
Already there are rumors galore,
coming fast and thick from many
quiet caucus scenes last night, of
candidates, prospective, to be in the
campaign to succeed Mayor Glnnuth
thru the unexpired term which will
amount to more than one year hence.
Reporting what now amounts only
to rumora in the above respect, the
following citizens have been heard
spoken of who probably will in due
oourte of time announce as candi-
dates in the mayoralty campaign:
HON. FRED P. HAMILL.
HON. JOHN J. COX.
R. T. CRAWFORD.
JOHN W. WRIGHT.
J. B. WAITERS.
HENRY PRATT.
W. W. 8WAIN.
Seven in all; and there may be
still others—no telling.
As above Intimated, there were
scurrylngs about late yesterday and
during the night, of prospective can-
didates and their supporters, from
this caucus to that, and already, it
seems, the wires are being laid and
strategical movements made, preced-
ing even the arrival of the Mayor's
resignation before the council.

SITUATION PECULIAR FOR
CAMPAIGN TO BE MADE
Aside from the matter of "swap-
ping horses in midstream," as this
will be, the situation just now is
peculiar for the induction into local
affairs, of a Mayor's campaign. There
are several reasons for this. Among
these to be mentioned Is the change
of sentiment in local political affairs
which the very brief period of time
since the last Mayoralty campaign,
has brought about.
It is known that during Mr. Gin.-
nuth's official regime, there have
been disagreements in the minds of
people who cast their votes for him,
occasioned by objections to some of
his official acts and methods; while
on the other hand, there have been
during the time since the election, a
few who voted against him who have
rallied to his standard. At the same
time, this, and the additional fact
that various county and State poli-
tical bapuenlngs have caused re-al-
ignments locally. Consequently, un-
til the prospective candidates get
strung out in the race, a forecast cov
ring the next thirty days is almost
out of the realm of possibilities.
Little Miss Evetts and Master Browne
the Winners—Courtesies to the
Schools and Children.
Gentry Bros. "For ever and for-
ever" famous dog and pony show re-
ceived its usual enthusiastic recep-
tion here yesterday, when they play-
ed to large and well pleased crowds
The prize winning" name, suggested
by Master Brown, was "Tem-Tex."
The two fortunate children partici-
pated in the street parade, Master
Brown attending the pony he had
named, and little Miss Evetts occupy-
ing a position high up in the "Big
Shoe" wagon.
Many of the stories written by the
little contestants are well worth
printing, but owing to crowded con-
ditions of the paper this morning,
we are able to give space to but two
of them—the Prise Story and another
one, written by Master Whitmore Per
ry, which the judges decided was eas-
ily second best. Some of the other
good ones will appear in an early is-
sue.

Election Days Are to Be Many.
Next Tuesday, November 3, brings

And In the msanwhlle, there prob-
ably will be elections on bond issues,

In connection with the campaign
for election to fill the Mayor's office
during the unexpired term, it is al-
together likely that, by preference of
the candidates and for expediency's
sake, the primary will be ordered at
the earliest practlcatte date. It is
further to be expected that the iocal
Issues which already, to all Intents
and purposes are before the people,

Apologies to Chicago Record-Herald
The Telegram cartooniBt has G. 0. P. leading "by a snout." When
called to task by the editor for this unwarranted assumption, the car-
toonist pointed out the fact that G. 0. P.'s mount was already using the
spur, and with the handicap of the additional weight of the jockey "up"
he was setting a pace he could not hope to maintain down the home
stretch. Anyway, they will soon come "under the wire," and the decision
of the judges will be announced immmediately by The Daily Telegram, by
stereopticon bulletins, flashed upon a mammoth screen, suspended high
above the middle of First street, in front of The Daily Telegram office,
with accurate telegraphic bulletins, Received from reliable representatives
throughout the nation the moment results are ascertainable Tuesday, and
with Mr. W. Poste Carr to perform on the "spot light" machine, the pub-
lic may depend upon us to "furnish the dope" on the great national con-
test, as well as the state, district, county and precinct, "hot off the
wire," "so all may read," on election night, next Tuesday, November 3.
The official party is schduled to
arrive from the South at about the
hour of 3:45 o'clock this afternoon,
according to information kindly giv-
en The Telegram by the Santa Fe
dispatchers' office.
The party will be met by the May-
or, President A. J. Jarrell, of the
Commercial Club, and a large dele-
gation of representative citizens.

street paving, street lighting, a new

granted a company that will under-
take the proposed Interurban line
construction will be discussed.
A report favorable to calling an
election for voting on a bond issue
for street paving will be made. The

during the past week dozens of let-

suggested, and hundreds of stories
were written, many of them good
stories, too, but all could not win a
prise. The judges were put to a hard
task, in making a decision, ss many
of the namea, and many of the ator-

First prise, of one family ticket,
