Mr. C. U. Connolleo represontive in
the Twonty-sooond legislature from

Connolleo is an enthusiastio Clark and
Mills man and says his county will
go for Clark by a large majority. He
said: "My county wont against Hogg

not been for that Hogg would havo
gotten the nomination by acolamation.
Every oounty whioh has a pino tree

Texas was not going to allow tho
