Entered At the Bonham, Texas, postof-
Soe as second class mall matter.
Since that $150,000 cottou mill
lor Bonham has become a cer-
tainty, the ire of a lew hundred
citlsens of Honey Gro^ has be
come uncontrollable. The papers
of that place have been running
over lor the past few weeks with
funny (?) paragraphs about how
far behind the times Bonham is,
etc. But, somehow, they forget
to give any facts showing that
Honey Grove is any. more than
a mere village. The Dallas News
wonders why the Bonham papers
don’t answer all these para
graphs. We used to waste con-
siderable with Honey Town,
but {heir arguments have become
very stale. It’s the same old
ding-dong. We expected noth^pg
else. They mourned to the same
> tune when Bonham’s electric car
line was first built; when our
splendid system of waterworks
was completed; when we built
two of the best oil mills and ice
factories in the State—and var-
ious other enterprises of which
space forbids mention. And now,
when we raised $150,000 for a
cotton mill within a week’s time,
we are not at all surprised that
the papers of that place make
one last, feeble Stroke before go-
ing under. Let them continue:
we enjoy it.
county convxntion.
rutku Pro—Sing* of tke Democratic
Gathering Monday.
Following the report formerly
published, we have first the fol-
lowing resolutions adopted by the
convention:
, (1) That we oppose the impe-
rialism of the republican party at
home and abroad, and reassert
that the United States is a gov-
ernment of limited powers, with
authority to maintain only re-
publican institutions, local self-
government, and to secure free-
dom and equal rights to each in-
dividual citizen; and w« further
declare that congress has no
power to establish subject gov-
ernments or colonies, and that
the constitution and principles of
. this government extend to Porto
Rico and our other new acquisi-
tions of territory; and with
shame and sorrow we feel it nec-
essary to remind our national au-
thorities that our pljghted faith
as to Cuba must be fully kept
and that our soldiers should be
speedily withdrawn from that un-
happy island; and the idea of
leaking American states in Asia
is absurd, un-American and in
every way detrimental to the best
interest of our people, hence our
troops should be speedily with-
drawn from the Philippine islands
after proper notice to the world
that they must be left free from
foreign interference.
(2) -We especially endorse the
Hon. J. W. Bailey in the gallant
fights he has made in congress
and before the people of Texas
for constitutional government,
and our senator and representa-
tives are hereby instructed to
vote for him for U. 8. senator
and to use all honorable means
to secure his election.
(3) We endorse the splendid
democrat statesman, William
Jennings Bryan of America, as
the democratic nominee for pres-
ident.
(4) All the blessings of a dem •
ocracy are due to the dominance
of the free citizens in the state,
in society and in trade and busi-
ness; therefore we are unaltera-
bly opposed to the powerful com-
binations of oapital, known as
trusts. No^only has modern in-
dustrial life been changed by
said trusts, but new, sooial and
political conditions have resulted
therefrom. They not only con-
trol the business of manufactur-
ing and distribution, but have al-
tered politics and oftentimes stand
for the government itself. We
therefore condemn such combi- j
nations as being inimical to the
best interests of our citizens and
dangerous to our free institu-
tions. We depricate the hypoc-
risy of the republican party as
exhibited by the president, his
cabinet, advisers and reprtsen-
• tatives of their selection in the
present congress to Offer any
ipdasyfe of relief from trusts, and
of their refusal to place on the
free list articles controlled by
them, as one of the surest Insane
of ridding the country of the
dreaded octopus that controls not
ttoly tbs pilot od the raw mats*

By resolution the chairman
was empowered and instructed to
fill by appointment any vacancies
that may now or hereafter exist
rial, but also the price.of the fin- , .B. ALLEN, President,
ished product as well as the terms D-W. sweeney, Cashier,
and price of labor. And that we
blush with shame that the repub-
lican party so far failed in accu-
men and foresight, and that they
could have thought they could
hoodwink the American people
by making it appear that they,
as republicans, were opposed to
trusts by offering as a remedy, a
constitutional amendment, which
they know could not be acted on
and perfected into law for years,
especially when they knew reme-
dies were immediately at hand,
to accomplish all desired by en-
forcing laws already enacted,
which they have made nugatory
by refusing to enforce same.
(5) We oppose the gold Btand
ard and affirm our allegience to
the money of the constitution, ancl
demand the free and unlimited
coinage of both gold and silver at
the ratio of 16 to 1, independent
of all other nations. N
(6) We favor the election oi!
president, vice president anci
United States senators by direct
vote ot the people. v’
(7) We believe that the sym
pathiee of a free people should
ever be with those who are strug-
gling for liberty and -we hereby
earnestly declare our sympathy
with the patriotic Boers of South
Africa in their contest for free-
dom and liberty and hope, even
in the face of their present ad-
versity, that the God of battles
will give them their liberty and
the blessings of peace.
(8) We endorse the present
democratic administration of
Texas.
(9) We demand the enact-
ment of such laws as will remove
as far as possible all inequalities
in the'taxation of property in this
state, to the ^nd that all property
may bear its just proportion of
the burden of government.
(10) We demand rigid eoon-
emy in the expenditures of all
publio funds and that the ex
penses of the department of the
government be reduced and kept
as low as is consistent with effi-
cient public service.
(11) Our representatives in
the next legislature are hereby
instructed as far as practical to
have the same legal safeguards
thrown around primary elections
that now apply to general elec-
tions.
(12) We heartily endorse the
constitutional amendments as
now proposed by Ex-Gov. Hogg
and we highly appreciate the
great personal sacrifice that he
is incurring in canvassing the
state in their behalf. Our dele-
gates to the state convention
are hereby instructed to use
their votes and influence in
having a ’ demand for these
amendments incorporated in our
next platform, and that our rep-
resentatives in the next legisla-
lature are hereby requested and
instructed to provide for an early
submission of these amendments

for the thresher. These are rushing

We failed to have a precinct Demo-
cratic convention at Fulp Saturday, it
was such a busy time. You see our

very sure our Democratic friends will
place men in the positions of trust’
that will be for our best interest, any
way.
