J. E Farnswortlj, V. P., and Gen.
Mgr., Southwestern Tel. and Tel.

Dear Sir:—You are doubtless^'
*wart> of the fact that Section 22,
Article 11, Of the special charter of
the city of Temple provides that "It
shall be unlawful for any person or
corporation or association of per-
sons to use or occupy any public
ground whatever in the city, or any
spae* above or below any public
ground for the purpose of conduct-
ing any public utility wherein a ser-
vice is rendered to the public for
hire or charge, unless permission is

manner provided by this charter, and
wh*>re public service corporations
are now occupying the streets and

an express grant or franchise, said
corporation or public utilities shall
have within one year from the pas-
sage of this act by the Legislature
to remove from the streets and pub-
lic grounds of the city of Temple,

The foregoing, in brief tabulated
form, sums up the results of the Na-
tional election held yesterday, as il
relates to the Presidential candi-
dates especially, and is condensed af-
ter receiving the last of the wire-re-
ports in The Telegram office this
morn lug at 2:30 o'clock.
Mr. Bryan, es will be apparent,
goes down in defeat before Mr. Taft,
the Republican nominee. Mr. Bryan
it seems, ran ahead of the Democra-
tic ticket led by Judge Parker in
1904 in the South and in some parts
of the middle \Vust; tho according to
returns now in hand, he failed in
this respect in the Kast and New
England.
In the State c pec ting the propos-
ed amendments to the constitution,
three In number, (wo it seems are
irretrievably lost, these being respec-
tively to Increase the salary of the
Governor and other high officials,
and to change or rather increase the
scope of jurisdiction of county com-
I missionets. The amendment as ap-
plying to eonutry school precincts
will carry, according to early esti-
mates, by an overwhelming majority.
Governor Campbell will be iv-t iut-
ed, tho by a much smaller majorlt,
than was hoped for by his political
supporters. Col. Simpson, heading
iae Republican ticket is destined to
poll a large vote In the Slate, espe-
cially in the Southern part. Complete
returns from over this State will be
very slow in coming in. on account
of the immensity of the ballot sheets
which are to be counted. This is
true, also in Bell county, and to some
extent in Temple. Returns from
