tween 40,000 and 50,000 When all

Been Reported
EDITOR TERRELL ELECTED
Senator From McLennan County Wins Nom-
ination for Comptroller by Handsome
Majority
James E. Ferguson has been
nominated by the Democrats of
Texas for governor of Texas over
Thomas H. Ball, by a majority
which will range anywhere be-
tween 40,000 votes when all have
been counted.
The campaign came to a close
last Saturday, when the polls
were opened early in the morn-
ing for an all-day contest. The
result has been surprising to a
large number because of the
strength which Mr. Ferguson de-
veloped in counties which are
normally allied witli the prohibi-
tion forces, and wnere Col Ball
conld be expected to get his
strongest vote. Full returns
from all the counties are not yet
available.
W. P. Hobby wins for lieuten-
ant governor with a lead of
6,629 over his opponent, B. B.
Sturgeon. Jeff: McLemore and
J. H. (Cyclone; Davis were
elected over several opponents
by good majorities.
Submission has Been defeated
by something around 20,000
votes. It would appear that the
total vote cast will not run much
greater than 400,000, even should
it succeed in getting past that
point.
Senator H. B. Terrell of Waco

some majority.

Helped £lect
tk Good Man.
The Reporter calls the atten-
tion of its readers to the political
advertisement in this issue sign-
ed by Hon. H. B. Terrell, candid-
ate for Comptroller. While it
has always been a policy of this
editor never to tear our editorial
shirt to shreds for any candid-
ate, yet we feel like a small rent
in the aforesaid garment in favor
of Terrell at this time is not en-
tirely out of place. We have
been supporting Mr. Terrell in
this race, as we supported him
for State Senator two years ago
—quietly but firmly. We feel
that he is the best man for the
office, and we feel that we know
him well enough to know that he
will give every man a square
deal if he is elected. Roth pros
and antis can figure that Terrell
will give them a square deal.
That is all that either could ask:
if either expected more they
would be doomed to disappoint-
ment. Mr. Terrell's advertise-
ment in this issue clears up some
campaign slanders that have
been circulated against him re-
cently, and we trtst that each of
our readers will carefully read
his article and act accordingly
when they go to the polis Satur-
day. We know that Mr. Terrell
is not the grim ogre that he has
been pictured by Frater Grimes
of Cameron; on the contrary he
has consistently supported every
regulatory measure as applied to
the whiskey traffic that has ever
come up in the legislature dur-
ing the past fourteen years. He
has voted with the pros every
time, and furthermore he has
always been a local optionist. He
is an anti statewider, but he is
fully in sympathy with all regu-
latory measures and with law
and order, and as Comptroller he
will prove his broadness of mind
and bigness of brain. Terrell
is an able man; by far the ablest
in this race. He has served his
country nobly and has served
the prohibition cause well and
ably as is shown by his legisla-
tive record.

FARMERS OF TEXAS
WELL CARED FOR
Stale Fair Offers Rich PremU
turn in Agricultural Classes. „
A MAMMOTH DISPLAY*-
Award* In Individual Farm Exhibit
Class Increased to |300— Unci*
8am Will Judge Cotton,
Dallas.—Farmers of Texas are well
cared for this year by the man-
agement of the 1914 State Fair
of Texas, which begins Saturday,
October 17. Thousands of dol-
lars have been set aside for awards
for exhibits of farms, orchard and gar-
den products.
Tho mammoth agricultural building
has been equipped with new and mod-
ern exhibit booths -for the farm and
mill, cotton, corn and other divisions.
As usual cotton comes in for a rich
share of the prizes and will be as-
sembled «nd ludged under the super-
vision of the United States Department
ol Agriculture, Caib awards around
$300 and diplomas cover the prize of-
ferings for exhibits of short and Ions
staple cotton.
In the corn division, open to Texas
only, prizes aggregating $500 are of-
fered tor all varlatles of Dtnt corn,
Lagunu or June corn, prolific corn and
gourd seed corn.
The big feature and one in which
much interest is manifested is the In-
dividual furm exhibit class. The man-
agement regards this of such import-
ance that the prize offerings have beea
increased to $300. Every farmer in
Texas has a chance at this rich purse
and by assembling an exhibit of corn,
cotton, small grain and other products
grown on his farm this year, his chance
of winning a rich share of this purse
Is as good as the next one.

pany offers rich special premiums is

To Mlilam County People
I appreciate more than I can
express the support I recei/ed
in last Saturday's primary. To
those who supported me, I pro-
foundly grateful; to those who
voted for my opponent, I enter-
tain the kindest feeling and I
shall endeavor to treat all justly
and courteously.

ANGORA GOAT DISPLAY.
Record-Breaking Showing Promised
For Coming State Fair.
Dallas.—Texas furnishes half the mo-
hair produced annually in the United
States, or more than 3,000,00 pounds.
The grade is Just as fine in texture as
the imported article, and there Is about
4,000,00 pounds imported into the Unit-
ed States each year.
The management of the 1914 State
Fair of Texas is going to impress upon
visitors the fact that Texas can pro-
duce twice as much mohair if more at-
tention is given to the Angora goat in-
dustry.
Hence the rich prizes offered not
only by the Fair management but by
the American Angora Goat Breeders'
Association and the American Milch
Goat Record Association.
The Angora exhibit last year was
conceded to be the best since the St.
Louis World's Fair and the exhibit
this year prontjses to eclipse even that
of 1913
Breeders declare that while the An-
gora prefers rough pasture, and is par-
ticularly happy when clearing thick
brush land, yet after a few years on
the very roughest land the owner will
be able to double and often Quadruple
the number of head of sheep, cattle
or horses on the same land, and not

ance |« Now Being Assembled.
