40 Legislators Reach Austin; Doubt-
ful on Speaker Race.
Austin, Jan. 3.—Estimates of the
strength of the five candidates for
the speakership of the house are not
as yet forthcoming, because there are
only about forty members of the
house here so far. Four of the five
candidates seen, declare that it will
be a day or two yet before it will be
possible to annotince definitely how
many votes each candidate has pledg-
ed. All five of the candiates have op-
ened headquarters at the Avenue ho-
tel and conferences are being held by
the friends of each one of the aspir-
ants for the position.
Announcement by Representative
Fly, candidate from Gonzales, that he
would not go into any caucus has
somewhat disrupted the plans of
certain of the candidates. Fly, who
is a pro, declares emphatically that
he will make the race openly and will
let the Democrats of the house settle
the question as to who is to be the
next speaker. He is for submission,
but said he was not blinded by that
proposition, but there are many other
important matters to come up for
consideration in which he is interest-
ed; he favors better schools, liberal
appropriations for the educational
and other institutions, good roads and
other important propositions.
Fuller, the pandidate from San Ja-
cinto county; said he would have a
statement to make within the next
day or two and that he felt optimis-
tic at the result. Mendell, the anti-
candidate from Travis county, is in
high spirits and is confident of suc-
cess, and the same views are appar-
ently shared by Messrs. Florer and
Spencer, the other two candidates.
Of the members on the ground
comparatively few are pledged to any
of the candidates.

Will Introduce Bill to Prevent Strikes
Without Definite Notice.
Washington, Jan. 3.—Railroad leg-
islation desired by President Wilson
to supplement the Adamson law in to
be pressed in the house without wait-
ing for action by the senate. After
a conference with the president today
and while the senate committee was
continuing its hearing on the subject,
Representative Adamson, chairman
of the house commerce committee,
announced that within a few days he
would introduce and seek the passage
of bills designed to prevent railroad
employes from striking without giv
ing sixty days notice and to empower
the president to place tied up rail-
roads in the hands of military au-
thorities in case of public necessity.
It has been understood that the
president has wanted the f railioad
program completed by amendments
to a measure now pending in the* sen-
ate. Mr. Adamson said today, how-
ever, that he was tired of waiting for
the senate to act.
“They will run on with these hear
ings for, I don’t know how long,’’ lie
added. “And I doubt if the members
know much more about the subject
when the hearings are over than they
do now.”
Hunt Refuses to Surrender His Office
to Governor Campbell.
Phoenix, Ariz., Jan. 2.—When
Thomas E. Campbell, governor-elect,
went to the state house today to take '
over his duties, Governor G. W. P.
Hunt, incumbent, refused to surren-
der the office.
Governor Hunt told Governor
Campbell he could not recognize Gov-
ernor Campbell’s credentials. After
a formal demand for possession of
the executive office, Governor Camp-
bell withdrew and will maintain his
headquarters in a downtown office
building, pending the outcome of le-
gal procedure to force Governor Hunt
to give up the office.
Attorneys for Campbell last night
served notice on Hunt or application
for a writ of mandamus. A proffer
was made by friends of Governor
Hunt of a surrender of the office on
condition that the inspection of bal-
lots be stopped at once and the con-
test proper be begun on the discover-
ies that have been made so far in the
inspection of a little more than half
the ballots.
The proffer was rejected by Camp-
bell.
Proceedings have commenced in the
supreme court to secure a writ of
preemptory mandamus restraining
Governor Hunt from exercising the
functions of office, pending a decision
of the contest. The matter will be
heard by the court Thursday.
Each side will attempt to organize
the legislature, which meets next
Monday. The postoffice department
has ruled that mail addressed to the
governor of Arizona shall be deliver-
ed to Governor Campbell at his tem-
porary office, but that mail addressed
to Governor Hunt shall go to him at
the capitol.

Best Form of Belting.
The belting used on machinery in
the Russian oil fields is made of cam-

rubber, leather or cotton.
Texas Raised Best Crops of Entire
Nation.
Washington, Jan. 2.—Almost $9,-
000,000,000 was the aggregate value
of all crops of the country last year,
with Texas leading all other states.
In an estimate announced today by
the department of agriculture, the
exact value was set at $8,934,587,000.
That was an increase of $2,165,-
989,000 over the value of 1915 crops
and $2,867,206,000 over the average
of the years 1910 to 1914.
Illinois, second state in 1915, was
displaced by Iowa last year. The
other states of the leading ten in or-
der of value of their crops were: Ne-
braska, Georgia, Kansas, Pennsyl-
vania, New York, Indiana and Ohio.

Six Per Cent Money for Farmers.
The Federal Farm Loan Act aids
farmers to get cheaper money—they
want it and ought to have it. The
way to get it is to form a farm loan
association of at least ten farmers.
The government is now ready to do
its part and has located the Federal
Farm Bank for this district in Hous-
ton. All farmers wishing to know
more of the practical operation of
this act, whether they wish to join
with their neighbors who are forming
the Lampasas Farm Loan Associa-
tion or not, are invited to meet at the
court house, Tuesday, Jan. 9, at 1:00
o’clock. At this meeting a board of
directors will be elected and applica-
tions for loans will be accepted. Now
is the time to act, first come, first
served. Any further information
will be gladly furnished by
Ross W. Bailey.

Good Disinfectant.
Permanganate of potash is an excel-
lent, cheap disinfectant. Dissolve one
ounce in a quart of boiling water, and
pour a little down every drain once a
week, if you want to keep the house
