The State Democratic conyention declared for McLemore for
congressman-at-large and Lane will contest. Lane is known to
have a majority of all the vot^s. Bailey tried to get the conven-
tion to indorse hi^ plank against national prohibition and woman
suffrage but they rolled him 645 to 107, and then he announced
that he would be a candidate for the United States Senate to suc-
ceed Culberson in 1916. Jake Wolters and Ferguson in their
speeches were very severe on Bailey and both make mighty good,,
reading. Ferguson’s speech in p/aaA gem and should be

The saddest things that come
to the notice of the printer are
the cards of thanks issued to the
sovereign voters by defeated can-'
d i d a t e s. It is all right
and proper, but oh, the
sadness of it. To caress the
hand that smites, to smile when
the heart is sore, to defy the
world to find the trace of a scar
when all know the wound was
deep and painful, to meet with
a pleasant face those who are
known to have done the fatal
work. It is right to do so and
manly, but back of it all hidden
away iii the human heart
are tragedies and pains, heart-
aches and blasted hopes. Pride
angl hope hold us up and keep
the wheels of life turning and
the passing throng knows little
of the battles fought in th e
hearts of men, and the pity is,
if known would care so little.
Just as soon as we can fin d
the time we intend to deeply
sympathize with those stranded
Americans in Europe, but just
now we are busy reading {’ e
war news with one hand and in
listening with the other for Joe
Bailev to hit the ground from
that awful “hist” he got at El
Paso.
