They’re beginning to fig-

the man who . is doing the

There still seems to be a
notion in some quarters that
any tire is good enough for
a small car.
Large or small, U. S. Tires
are built to only one stand-
ard of quality—the standard
that produced the first
straight side automobile tire,
the first pneumatic truck
tire.
Every tire that bears the
name “U. S.” is built the
best way its makers know
how. It isn’t the car, but
the man who owns the car,
that counts with the oldest
and largest rubber concern
in the world.

For ordinary country
roads—The U. S. Chain
or Usco.
For front wheels—Tlx»
U. S. Plain.
For best results—
everywhere—XS. S.
Royal Cords.
That's not what the man
who owns it thinks.

THE BIG CIRCUS.
Hie "Amf Thronged With Appre-
ciative Spectators Who Applauded
Liberally.
Friday i5iht of last week is history,
y«C in that chronicling the most fav-
trable notice is the happening at the
Shriso grounds, the appearance of
fce Ding Ling Bros', circus. Noe en-
irely tinlike the big circuses which
ones only once in a great while, yet
iUfcvent, this homo talent affair well
merited the liberal applause and
■bouts of laughter which the largest
audience that ever greeted a local
attraction, so generously bestowed.
The outside—or sideshow attrac-
tions—had their lively boosters, «nd
those whom they enticed into the
tents generally came out thV wiser.
The “big top affair in the auditor-
tern furnished some new features, and
demonstrated again that the talent of j
our youngesters was in commendable ]
form. The trapeze performers, thej
mirth provokers—Ding and Ling—the;
little acrobat and the dog trainer, like-
wise the special audience” which the
circus carried, the statuary posing,
the jockey, the little equistriene and i
ballet dancer, and the black-faced J
comedians in the after concert perfor-;
mance, can be recognized by making
the most favorable comment.
C. E. Nearsta’s family orchestra |
came in for its share of praise and
furnished the music for those who de-
sired to dance. And there were quite
a number who did. The boy scouts
are an appreciative bunch, they have;
requested us that they are thankful;
to those who so ably helped to make
the affair a success, and to the pub
lie for the liberal patronage bestowed.
The net proceeds are very satisfact-;
ory, and will enable the boys to take

through to the finish
Announcement was made from his
headquarters Monday morning that
“the fight for sound government has
just begun,” and that Senator Bailey
after a brief absence in Baltimore,
where he must attend to some law
cases, will come back to Texas for a
speaking campaign. Senator Bailey
left Dalis for Baltimore Monday
afternoon.
Claims of fraud and manipulation
of the precinct conventions are made
by Luther Nickels, Bailey campaign
manager, who declares only about
100,000 of the 1, 000,000 voters in Tex-
| as took part in the primaries,
r The statement made by Mr. Nickels
followed a meeting at BUiley head-
quarters at the Oriental hotel attend-
ed by Bailey leaders from all parts of
the state and during the first part of
which Senator Bailey himself was
present. Among those attending the
meeting were Senator R. M. Johnston,
John H. Kirby and John L. Wortham
of Houston; Ed. Steger of Bonham;
John J. Simmons of Dallas; Ed. Wil-
coxson of Gainsville; Fred Horon of
Greenville; Scott Fulton of Rockwall
and other local and out-of-town men.
Nickels StatemenL
The statement given out by Luther
Nickels after the meeting is as fol-
lows:
“The fight for sound government
has just begun. On April 11 Sena-
tor Bailey made public statement he
wa3 the race for governor to the end,
regardless of the results of the pre-
cinct conventions. There is no use
to repeat the statement. Mr. Bailey
is compelled to go to Baltimore to try
a law suit and will be out of the state
a short time. As soon as he can re-
turn a list of speaking appointments
will be announced.
“When the opposition and party or-
ganization repudiated the national
Democratic platform and refused to
provide for a primary election so that
a fair and representative test might
be had we knew that the purpose ex-
isted so to manipulate conventions as
to prevent a just expression of the
people’s will. We know now that
such purpose was accomplished.
Fraud and intimidation were never
practiced to a greater extent and
with more brazen effrontery than in
these conventions. The party ma-
chinery, generally speaking, and it
was so manipulated to confuse and
mislead the voters as far as pos-
sible. In many instances the hour
and place of the convention was not
even announced, and in some instances
so-called “conventions” were held
the anti-Bailey chairman was the only
person present. If the politicians
think' they will get by with any such
practices they are badly fooled.
Unit Rule Prevailed
The overwhelming appearances of
the convention results are due to the
precinct unit rule and are not at all
supported by the relative popular vote
cast in the^ conventions. Out of a
million voters in Texas perhaps 100,-
000 expressed themselves in the pre-
cinct conventions and these all re-
ports show that a clear majority of
the men indorsed our platform. In
view of these undoubted conditions
it would be ridiculous to say that the
convention is in any sense representa-
tive of the sentiment of the people.
“Again Mr. Bailey’s candidacy for
governor was not involved in the con-
vention issue. Thousands of people
many who voted against us on the
issues there involved, will vote with
us in July and many othe rthousands
who favor Mr. Bailey for governor,
but who stayed away from the con-
ventions on accouht of the nature of
the issues there involved, and for
-other reasons, will be heard from in
July.
“The great bulk of the support of
all the opposition candidates for
governor manifested itself in the con-
ventions, while but a small fraction
of Mr. Bailey’s support was shown.
“Let the politicians understand now
that their tainted apparent victory is
short of life. The Democracy of Texas
is not bluffed, bullied or brow-beaten;
its expression will be made in July,
free from fraud and intimidation, to
the everlasting discomforture of those
who preach piety but who stand
ready to sacrifice principle for patron-
age and pelf. Let no Democrat be
down-cast. The real fight is before
us. We shall never say die.
