Democratic leaders are pre-
paring to start the 1928 pre-
sidential political campaign a
full year ahead of time.
Leaving aside for the mo-
ment those ouestions which
have led to divisions with in
the party they are seeking
to consolidate their lines upon
the issue of "Jeffersonism de-
mocracy.” On Jefferson’s bir-
thday April 15 they hope to
organize state and county ral-
lise everywhere throughout

The purpose of these rallies

tic principles.”

Tyler, April 6.—A hail, rain
and windstorm which persis-
ted here for 10 hours and co-
ivered a wide area of East Te-
j xas early today is estimated
to have done damage of ar-
ound $1,000,000.
Roofs were riddled, win-
dows smashed and crops beat-
en to the ground under the im-
pact of the large stones which
were whipped by a brisk
wind.
Torrents of rain washed out
many small bridges, broke
down dams an'd cut deeply
into highways, reports to Ty-
les said. Trains were delayed
by the loss of the bridges.
In Tyler the storm began
about midnight and did not
subside until almost noon to-
day. The dam of Lake ^ark,
a'resort, broke under the for-
ce of the high water, destroy-
ing the Garden Valley high-
way for a distance of 50
yards.
The Cotton Belt track at
Green Briar Lake was washed
away and trains were delayed
eight hours.
Tomato and strawberry
crops in this section which
were about ready for market
were destroyed. It is estimated
that about 35 percent of the
peach and blackberry crops
will be lost.
At Marshall many of the
streets were overflowed and
North Franklin Street, under
the Texas and Pacific Railway
At the last Cemetery Asso- and the street into the sub-
way to the passenger station
was several feet deep in wa-
ter. and many automobiles
had to be pulled out.
Damage estimated at $40,-
000 was caused at Mineola.
Windows were broken in pra-
ctically every residence there.
Business houses were flooded
in many cases and their stocks
badly damaged. The Bailey
Hotel probably suffered the
greatest loss, with an estima-
ted damage of $3000.
Fruit berries, young corn,
gardens and chickens were
destroyed. No estimate of this
loss has been made. Lindale.
south of Mineola suffered
greatly in damlage to the berrjr
crop.
Bridges across the small
streams were washed away,
dams gave way and the high-
way* Lake, near Golden, gave
way and its stock of game fish
was carried down to Cedar
Lake Dams of the Lindale
Country Club Lake and the
Huff Lake broke during the
storm.
Traffic has been checked
between Mineola and neigh-
boring towns by trees and
were blown across the high-
ways.
The storm is the worst
which Wood County has felt in
several years. Lightning con-
tinued almost constantly for
several hours and the wind
and rain sent many people 1~
storm cellars.
