Connlnchnm Takes Gavel.
After the report on permanent or
ganization 'was. adopted upon motion of
S. r. Hardwick; the "official mover" of
the convention, J. F. Cunningham, ot
Abilene, was escorted to the platform
V Paul Waples. of Fort Worth, and
John S ratterson. of Dallas The per
manent chairman said:
""I thank you most sincerely for the
nnor you have conferred upon me.
This is not only a convention, but a
V'-sh ftast to celebrate the victory ot
trie common people. We have much to
be thankful for. We are at peace when
U the world Is at war. We should
be especially proud that democracy is
iit the head of the nation and that a
great Democrat steers the Democratic
thip
We should also be proud that at the
h":id of this state we haTe had a fear
less Democrat. And we should be es
peciallv proud that wo are meeting in
a city that is unrivaled in hospitality.
Praiiie for Ferguson.
"Our nominee has been a laboring
man himself and he will know th
r,eds of the laboring man better than
an-r other executive. And lie knows
the need? of a million school children
ani he will fill those needs.
"And he further knows that the
Iemo rats of this state want peace and
we will have peace in the Democratic
party. We can look forward to a great
future for Texas under Ferguson."
Bailey Slips Under- the Tent.
Ex-senator Joseph W. Bailey slipped
under the side wall of the big tent like
a small boy beating a circus out of
"two hits" admission price. Few saw
the former senator when he arrived
shortly after 11 oclock.
Instead of "hitting the sawdust trail"
as Silly Sunday says, he sat on a soft
pine liench behind a side" wall support
to the lug tent. He wore his famous
v hite lawn tie and a black alpaca suit.
ITp conferred with Judge George C
I'uln, of Tort Arthur, and J. H. Drum

with Bailey and suggested orders and

Hot Weather Health
At this season of the year, when the
appetite lags and you're "all fagged
out," it is not strange that you do not
feel your real self. Skipping from one
light food to another, the stomach is
rarely satisfied with whatever the pal
ate selects, and draughts or chilly Ice
water often aid In retarding digestion
to a point where food falls to nourish
as it should. The success of every or
ganization Is largely due to a proper
division of labor extending from the of
fice boy to the president. And the ef
ficiency of the human machine Is
highest when every organ is attending
to Its own work. Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey keeps up the essential func
tions of digestion by stimulating the
mucous surface and little glands of the
stomach to healthy action, thereby cor
recting faulty assimilation of food, and
thus the body is furnished full propor
tion of nourishment. Since the starved
tissues are rapidly fed, the blood en
nt bed and the nervous system rehabi
litated, Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey
proves itself a food tonic upon which
the strength and vigor of bodily vitality
can depend at all times. Thousands

looked for the world like a country

When the platform reference to the
non-consideration of national issues
was read, the crowd looked toward
Bailey to see how he took this side-
swine at him. He only smiled.

A slap at ex-senator Bailey was con

convention should not criticise the na
tional administration. Lonfr cheering
followed its reading-
Hallry Takes Platform.
Verbal pyrotechnics of the conven
tion the real feature of the big po
litical gatherins began at 11:45 when
Bailey was granted permission to
speak on the minority report of the
platform committee.
The agreement reached to this ef
fect provided that Bailey speak for
the minoritv report, he to be followed
by Jake Wolters, of Houston, who was
to support the adoption of the ma
jority report
Governor elect Ferguson was ex
tended the privilege of speaking 30
minutes on the majority report, and
Bailey was to close the speaking with
a IS minute summing up and answer
to Ferguson's speech.
Convention Goes "Wild.
The advancement of Bailey to the
front of the platform to speak was the
signal for applause that was wildly
enthusiastic, and the following he had
in the convention was a surprise to the
Ferguson supporters. The popularity
ot the former senator appears not to
have been diminished by his tempor
ary retirement from actiTe Texas poli
tics. Bailey's speech had been anticipated
bv convention delegates and visitors
alike and served to add Just enough
real excitement to the othewise rou
tine of the convention to make the
session Wednesday unusually Inter
esting. Prior to Bailey's taking the stand
to speak for his resolutions, the con
vention proceeded in its well oiled man
ner in adopting those sections of the
platfoun to which there was no objec
tion. r
Cnlbrriion Ik Concratulated,
The resolution congratulating sena
tor C. A. Culberson on his return to
health was adopted with but one dis
senting voice, that of C V. Connelly of
Eastland.
A resolution providing for the im
provement of bays and waterways of
the state was passed.
A resolution for the re-dtstrictlng of
the congressional districts of Texas
passed.
A fight developed on the resolution
providing for the sale of unsold school
land and a second reading was de
manded. On the second reading It was
carried by a large majority.
The resolution favoring conservation
of fishes and fowls of Texas was
adopted.
fiovernmmt Aid For Cotton,
The delegates also passed the Col
quitt resolution, favoring government
aid in the cotton industry on account
of the European war. The motion for
adoption was made by O. B. Colquitt.
The resolution providinc for a four
year term for state officials met with
opposition, but was finally passed.
Bailer Wishes) Ileaaon Known.
"I want you to know the grounds
upon which I oppose the stand of the
majority." said Bailey when he took
the platform. The majority report has
stated as the stand of this convention,
that it did not wish to take any stand
on the attitude of the national admin
istration. The national administration,
if it encroaches on the rights of the
state, lays itself open to criticism
by the Democrats of Texas, in con
vention assembled.
"About to Mnkr a Mistake."
"I have the statement of the man
agers of the opposition, who are all
honorable men. I would do anything
in mv power to save them from the
mistake they are about to make. They
may live to be forgiveH, but I doubt
"I will read the resolution In the
sincere hope that they will yet save
themselves and str'ie It out In less
than five years they will come to me
for affidavits that they never framed
it."
The resolution stated that a vote by
the convention on national suffrage,
prohibition and the limiting of the
expenses that candidates may have
was not to be. considered binding.
Would "Co Barefooted to Save Them."
"I would walk barefooted to the
homes of these men to save1 them from
the mistake they are about to make.
My friends, you may live long enough
tj get the forgiveness of your neigh
bors, but not long enough to get your
own forgiveness when the passions of
this moment have passed. I want you,
gentlemen of the newspaper press, to
get this, for in less than fire years
you will be seeking a certificate from
me saving that you never said any
thing like this.
"Listen, these men proclaim to the
world that the Democratic party has

and national woman's suf

prohibition."
"We'll attend to him," came from the

"I will save you the trouble of put

Democracy of Texas wants and if he
don't change his mind, we will change
senators.
"But if you do not say here what you

"Tou ought to meet him (Shepherd)

he sent his substitute. CoL Jacob

that I was going to propose these reso

"Do the Democrats of Texas agree
with Shepherd?"
"No, but we agree with Jim Fer

Appeal to the People.
"In 188 you did to me at Galveston
as you expect to do to me now. I of

Declaration of Independence, and they
tabled it But I laid them all under the
table before I was through. I warn you
that I appeal from this convention to
the sovereign people of Texas. A lot
of you don't want me back in Texas
politics.
"Listen then vote for the Democratic
ticket and the Democratic principles
and I won't come back. But If you ride
these resolutions down, I will come
back like a whirlwind."
"Why don't you announce," some one
shouted.

"If you come back you will meet a

"Jim Ferguson." a Ferguson delegate
shouted.
"The worst enemy he ever had never
said anything about him as bad as that
in the campaign.
Democrats) Want Truth.
"The Democracy ot Texas will en
tertain the truth from whatever source
it comes. Federal female suffrage
has been voted on in the senate and
there is an agreement to vote on na
ticnal prohibition. Within the pres
ent month the lower house will pass
the federal prohibition bill. Will you
send no word to the Democrats who
arc standing out against It?"
"res."
"I hope you will. Can you wonder
that the Democrats fear to fight the
suffrage lobby if the Democratic con
vention tables a resolution against It?
"I recognize the rights of a Demo
cratic convention and if this principle
Is right It ought to be declared as
the principle here. I'd like to see one
Democrat stand up here and say it
nay."
"Cyclone Jim Davis" stood up.
Sits on "Cyclone Davis."
"I said a Democrat." Bailey replied,
and the crowd whooped and yelled its
delight.
"Tou want to say that It Is wrong
when you know that it is right. If it
is in our hearts let us put it into the
platform. They tell you that It Is not
an issue. I tell you that suffrage will
be brought to a vote in the house
and that a majority of the senate, in
cluding a Texas senator, voted for it,"
"Hurrah for him," a delegate shout
ed. "Did he represent you? Why don't
you send him word that he didn't?
The advocates of federal woman's suf

They Introduced It in the form of a

How to Absorb an

The race -which is admired for Its beauty
must have a satin-smooth akin, pink and
white and youthful looking. The only
thing X know of that can make such a
complexion out of an aged, faded, or dis
colored one I mean a natural, not a
painted complexion Is ordinary roercollsed
wax. This remarkable substance Hteralty
absorbs the unsightly cuticle, a lftte each
day. the clear, healthy, girlish akin benetfgh
gradually peeping out unth ialn a week
or so it Is wholly in evidence. Of coarse
such blemishes as freckles, moth patches,
liver spots, blotches and pimples are dis
carded with the old skin. If yoa will pro
cure an ounce of mercollzed wax at the
drug store, use like cold cream every night,
washing this off mornings, you'll find it a
veritable wonder-worker.
Another valuable natural treatment la a

said.

"I would rather repeal the charter
of every corporation In Texas, dig up
the railroads, burn the stations and
go back to the ox cart time than to
have the politics of Texas debauched

not to nut him in that attitude. I

for this limiting of campaign expenses.
I would get a great ovation here, but "
"Who told you that?" yelled J. P.

"Are you bigger than the people of

"No. but I think that the people ot

Wolters Ignored these requests.
"If Baliev wants to run for the sen
ate the water's fine, let him Jump In,
hut we will not permit him to Intrude
his candidacy on a Ferguson conven
tion," the speaker continued.
Callx Bailey Democracy' Enemy.
Gov. elect Ferguson followed Cot
Wolters' reply to Bailey and received
an ovation as he mounted the platform.
"I am proud of this opportunity to
defend the policies that I claim as my
own asrainst the greatest enemy of
democracy of Texas that lives," he said,
looking squarely at Bailey.
"I do not fear BaSey. I throw down
the gauntlet to him and if he wants a
conflict I am ready for him. But I
am sorry that he has Introduced him
self at this eleventh hour when peace
was near us after eight years of strife.
"Stop the Agitation."
"I ask no man to surrender his views
on prohibition, for I do not intend to
surrender mine. I told them In the
campaign that any man could vote for
me and retain his views. I iota ins
per-ile that every man knew how he
stood on prohibition. I only appealed
to them to decide whether or not we
should stop the agitation of the pro
hibition question. Bailey says that
this Is un-Democratlc That might be
his personal view on It but It Is not
the view of the Democracy of Texas.
He supported Tom Ball, yet Ball wrote
the Democratic platform in 18)8. which
says that prohibition is not a test ot
a man's democracy. Shall prohibition
be the teat of a man's democracy? We
hare said that it Is not a test and I
was elected on that platform. I come
before you asking you to stand by me
to keep our promise to the people and
to give the state a business adminis
tration. Saya Bailey Not Sincere.
"The Democrats of Texas never de
cided whether it was a test of Democ
racy. If Bailev was sincere in this
Issue. If he wanted to raise an tsaue
instead of a row. why did be not come
to Texas during the campaign? Bailey
says he doesn't want the national gov
ernment to tell Texas how to vote on
prohibition. I sav a Washington law
yer shall not come to Texas and dic
tate to us what we shall do. He may
be a citizen of Texas, but when he
has a $75,800 house in Washington and
advertises as Bailey Bailey, lawyers,
in Washington. I say that he should
go way back and sit down."
The governor elect reiterated that
Bailey should have come to Texas tot
the proper time." to have made nte
fight
Bailey in rebuttal said: "In my first
speech I expressed the hope that James
E. Ferguson would make a great gov
ernor. I still hope so. but after hear
ing that speech. I cannot expect it
No man who Is capable of maalng tnit
speech is capable of making a, good
governor."
Vote Will Not Blad the Party.
Barry Miller, ot Dallas, read the mo
tion to table the minority report fol
lowing Bailey's rebuttal, said:
"We do not consider, nor do we In
tend that a vote upon this motion shall
bind the party, nor any delegate ra bis
future course upon the questions In
volved, nor as expressive of Ms views
upon the merits of the issues. Our
sole purpose ls to keep the record
straight to keep the faith of our can
didate without wavering or shadow of
turning, with the thousands of Prohi
bitionists who were lead to support him
because of his repeated assertion that
prohibition was not an issue in this
campaign."
By the overwhelming vote of (45 to
"Wednesday,
107. the minority (Bailey) resolutions
were tabled by the convention. A mo
tion to make the tabling of the resolu

seven counties that have not made of

would win. The official returns, minus
the seven counties, show McLemore to
have a majority of 15 and with the
unofficial. . A large Lane majority

STEAM ROLLER IS
USED IN CONTESTS
With a precision that elicited admir
ation from even the Ball men. the
"steam roller" flattened out all but one
of the contested seats at the credentials
committee meeting, held Tuesday af
ternoon. The exception was in the
Delta county contest where the four
votes were split. Rollins Colquitt son
of the governor and the Ferguson ad
vocate, receiving two votes with sena

On a motion by John W. Moyer. a
committee of five, consisting of J. V.
