TEXAS REPUBLICANS
, ARE PREPARING FOR
VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN
30>000 Republicans Have Mov-
ed to Texas Within the
Past Two Years
DUSON-KOCH
Fort Worth, Aug-!. 12.—A
statement issued from the
headquarters of the Texas Re-
publican Council here today
says that a “republican cen-
sus” taken by the Council re-
cently discloses the fact that
thirty thousand Republicans
have moved to Texas within
the past two years. A large
per cent of the newcomers are
oil men and it is claimed by
local Republicans that this new
blood, together with the wide
spread change of sentiment
throughout the StateVwill ma-
terially increase their chance
for success in the 1920 elect-
ion. ,
The Council announces that
{Texas republicans are pre-
paring for the most vigoiious
campaign ever conducted in
the history of the State and
organization is being perfected
in practically every county in
Texas.
At a meeting of the Exe-
cutive Committee of the Tex-
as Republican Council held
here today, it was decided, to
h'ave a booth at the Dallas
Fair this fall for the purpose
of distributing literature and
working up sentiment in fav-
or of the party in this state.

Exposure to a cpld wind will

Foreign bodies or wax in the

Get the doctor to take it out.
Digging in the ear with a hair
